Description

Three-dimensional food printer for printing food containing customized vitamins and providing method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a three-dimensional food printer (3D-food-printer) for printing (printing) food containing customized vitamins and a method for providing the same. Specifically, a three-dimensional food printer and a method for providing the same, which obtain necessary vitamins optimized for an individual based on the physical condition of a user, and three-dimensionally print a food containing the vitamins and containing a customized vitamin for the individual.
Background
After the twenty-first century, studies have been made to greatly impact the human diet life, which is a conversion of the mode of "diet manufacturing method", i.e., studies on three-dimensional food printing (3D food printing) technology.
Specifically, three-dimensional printing, which is an indispensable keyword in dealing with the industrial trend, is a technology for obtaining an actual result by molding using a material such as plastic or metal based on a design drawing by three-dimensional fabrication and a computer technology. The three-dimensional printing can be performed not only by using one material for a mold but also by using various materials such as nickel alloy, carbon fiber, glass, conductive ink, electronic devices, and biological materials. In particular, the objects of the three-dimensional printing technology have been limited to sample, medical and construction products, but recently, the trend is toward the application of "food" based on food materials.
For example, 2011, the University of eckett (Exeter University) in uk, developed a three-dimensional food printer using chocolate as a material. The three-dimensional food printer developed by the university of eckette is implemented by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) means that melts and extrudes a thin layer of chocolate stack according to a three-dimensional design designed on a computer. Later, research institutions around the world, IT enterprises, and food enterprises, collaborate with each other and make continuous efforts to develop various three-dimensional food printers.
However, while research continues, the prior art three-dimensional food product printers lack the application of three-dimensional food product printing techniques for providing food products optimized for individuals. In particular, the three-dimensional food printers of the prior art are expected to provide a personal customized type of food product in consideration of not only the appearance of the three-dimensional printed food product but also the internal parts (contents and nutrients) according to individual's taste and needs.
For example, in the prior art, it is attempted to provide foods which are matched with corresponding contents or nutrients by three-dimensional food printing for persons who need the specific contents or nutrients, and to provide foods which are accurately removed from the corresponding contents or nutrients by three-dimensional food printing for persons who do not need the specific contents or nutrients.
However, since the three-dimensional food printer of the prior art lacks a process (process) for knowing nutrients required by a user through the three-dimensional food printer, it is difficult to know nutrients according to the personal state of the user by itself and provide food matched with the corresponding nutrients based on the nutrients. In addition, the three-dimensional food printer of the prior art lacks a technology capable of effectively keeping and managing vitamins that sensitively react to the external environment when the vitamins are required as nutrients to be matched with food. In particular, a problem to be solved by the conventional three-dimensional food printer is to develop a technology capable of perfectly matching nutrients to be provided to a user with food materials (chocolate).
In addition, the kinds and volumes of vitamins provided in food materials that can be matched to the three-dimensional food printer are very diverse according to the physical conditions of the user.
Specifically, in modern society, most people are in a sub-healthy state as the former stage of disease, and are in a state of uneven nutrition due to irregular eating habits, monophagia, overeating, weight reduction, and the like, and thus, need to take nutritional agents or vitamin agents. However, with the increase of foods containing vitamins for the above reasons, the times of taking multivitamins in an excessive amount have been gradually advanced. Since vitamins beneficial to the body are added to many foods, it is often necessary to pay attention to the fact that vitamins exceeding the recommended intake amount are unconsciously ingested. Therefore, it is necessary to know the physical state of the user first and to accurately know what kind of vitamins are needed, and then food matched with the corresponding vitamins is provided through a three-dimensional food printer.
Here, when printing a food with vitamins necessary for a user by a three-dimensional food printer, the three-dimensional food printer needs to store a plurality of vitamins having a certain capacity or more. However, vitamins have the property of being easily deteriorated or damaged with the external environment.
Specifically, vitamins vary widely in storage conditions such as storage temperature (refrigerated storage, room-temperature storage), humidity, influence of light (direct light), and shelf life depending on the type, and are easily deteriorated or damaged when storage conditions of different vitamins are violated.
For example, water-soluble vitamins B group or C, amino acids (especially NAC, creatine, SAMe) are sensitive to humidity and need to be respected, while water-soluble vitamins B3, B12, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K are sensitive to temperature (heat) and need to be respected. Therefore, there is a need for a three-dimensional food printer that overcomes the above-mentioned difficulties in vitamin storage.

-three-dimensional food printer
Next, the three-dimensional food printer 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention molds raw materials based on food materials and vitamins based on drawings for three-dimensional design and computer technology, and manufactures a food product as a result of actual three-dimensional Modeling (3D Modeling).

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional food printer 200 may include a capsule portion 210, a printing portion 220, a sensor portion 230, an input detection portion 240, a presentation portion 250, a touch screen 255, a work table 260, a communication unit 270, a memory 280, and a processor 290.
First, the capsule part 210 may include a plurality of capsules in which various materials for manufacturing a three-dimensional modeled food by a three-dimensional food printer are built.
Specifically, in the embodiment, the capsule unit 210 may include a plurality of Vitamin capsules 211(Vitamin capsules) each storing at least one or more vitamins, and a Main capsule 212(Main capsule) storing a food material, i.e., chocolate in the embodiment.
Here, the vitamin capsule 211 can be realized to have a structure capable of safely storing vitamins that are easily deteriorated or damaged depending on the external environment.
Specifically, the vitamin capsules 211 may be implemented in the form of vitamin environment elements that take into account the effects on the deterioration of the vitamins contained in each vitamin capsule 211, in which case the vitamin environment elements may include temperature, humidity, and/or direct light, etc.
For example, in the case where the vitamin capsule 211 contains vitamins that are likely to deteriorate with temperature, such as water-soluble vitamins B3 and B12, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K, the vitamin capsule 211 can be configured to maintain the temperature inside the vitamin capsule 211 at an optimum storage temperature preset for the different vitamins contained therein. To this end, in an embodiment, the vitamin capsule 211 may be implemented in a form integrated with a temperature sensor including a controller for controlling the temperature inside the vitamin capsule 211.
In another example, in the case where the vitamin capsule 211 contains vitamins such as water-soluble vitamin B group and C which are easily deteriorated by humidity, the vitamin capsule 211 may be configured to maintain the humidity inside the corresponding vitamin capsule 211 at an optimum storage humidity preset for the different vitamins contained therein. To this end, in an embodiment, the vitamin capsule 211 may be implemented in a form integrated with a humidity sensor including a controller for controlling humidity inside the vitamin capsule 211.
That is, the vitamin capsule 211 may be implemented in a form of being combined with the sensor part 230, which may include a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The detailed description of the sensor 230 will follow.
In another example, the vitamin capsule 211 may have a body formed of a material that can maximally block direct light, considering the characteristics of vitamins that are generally easily deteriorated when exposed to direct light.
The vitamin capsule 211 may be installed inside or outside the three-dimensional food printer 200, and connected to a matching part of the three-dimensional food printer 200 through a discharge hose (hose) to discharge a predetermined amount of the vitamin contained therein to the matching part for supply according to the control of the processor 290.
Next, the printing unit 220 performs three-dimensional printing using vitamins and food materials built in the three-dimensional food printer 200 according to the control of the processor 290, thereby manufacturing a three-dimensional modeled food.
Specifically, the printer unit 220 can discharge the material-producing food on the work table 260 having x and y coordinates based on the coordinate setting value (coordinate information) of the target object based on the three-dimensional drawing information. At this time, the printing part 220 may form the height of the three-dimensional modeled food based on the z-coordinate according to the coordinate setting value (coordinate information) of the target object.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the printing portion 220 may include a pressing portion 221, a matching portion 222, and an extruding portion 223.
Here, the pressurizing unit 221 may include a piston that is movable up and down in the z-axis direction and a pressurizing device that controls the up and down movement of the piston.
At this time, when the piston moves in the downward direction, the pressurizing unit 221 applies pressure to at least one upper portion of the plurality of capsules in the capsule unit 210 under the control of the processor 290, so that the material contained in the corresponding capsule is discharged to the outside of the capsule.
The fitting portion 222 can accommodate at least one or more materials discharged from the capsule portion 210 by the pressure of the pressurized portion 221, and can mix the accommodated materials.
In one embodiment, the matching part 222 is used for effectively mixing a plurality of materials, and more than one mixer blade may be arranged inside the matching part, and the blades perform a rotating action according to the control of the processor 290 to mix the plurality of materials flowing into the matching part 222 into a whole.
In addition, the extruding part 223 may discharge the materials, which are mixed into one body by the matching part 222 in the embodiment, onto the work table 260 according to the control of the processor 290.
In another embodiment, the extruding part 223 may directly (directly) discharge at least one or more materials discharged from the capsule part 210 by the pressure of the pressurizing part 221 onto the work table 260 according to the control of the processor 290.
Next, in the embodiment of the present invention, the sensor part 230 may be implemented in the form of each capsule combined with the capsule part 210, and may include a temperature sensor 231 that may perform temperature measurement and control and a humidity sensor 232 that may perform humidity measurement and control.

Specifically, the temperature sensor 231 may include a temperature controller that can control the temperature inside the capsule, and continuously maintain the optimum temperature preset for different capsules according to the control of the processor 290.
For example, when the optimum temperature for storing the first vitamin contained in the first vitamin capsule is set to 25, the temperature sensor 231 may supply cold air for reducing the internal temperature into the first vitamin capsule when the temperature inside the first vitamin capsule exceeds 25 degrees. However, the air cooling system such as the cold air supply system is not limited to the above, and various temperature adjustment systems, for example, a water cooling system may be used to reduce the temperature inside the capsule.
In addition, the humidity sensor 232 may measure the humidity inside the coupled capsules, and control the humidity inside the corresponding capsules to be maintained at a preset optimum humidity based on the measured humidity.
Specifically, the humidity sensor 232 may include a humidity controller that can control the humidity inside the capsule, and continuously maintain the optimum humidity preset for different capsules according to the control of the processor 290.
For example, when the humidity sensor 232 stores the first vitamin contained in the first vitamin capsule is set to an optimum humidity of 10%, if the humidity in the first vitamin capsule exceeds 10%, the humidity sensor may send air into the first vitamin capsule to reduce the internal humidity.
Next, the input detection portion 240 may detect the user's input related to the three-dimensional food printer 200 service that prints the food containing the customized vitamin for the private.
In the embodiment, the input detecting section 240 may detect an input to a user of an application (application) for obtaining body information of the user, and may also detect an input to the user of expiration date information of each different vitamin embedded in the vitamin capsule 211.
Next, the display section 250 can output various information related to the three-dimensional food printer 200 service of printing the food containing the customized vitamin in a graphic image.
In the embodiment, the display unit 250 may output, via the display, necessary vitamin information indicating the type and/or supply amount of the customized necessary vitamin optimized for the user.
The display unit 250 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display (flexible display), a three-dimensional display (3D display), and an electronic ink display (e-ink display).
In addition, the input detecting unit 240 and the display unit 250 may be implemented as a touch screen 255.
Next, the work table 260 may provide a space for making a three-dimensional modeled food as a result of the three-dimensional food printing.
Specifically, the work table 260 is formed in the form of a wide plate to provide a space capable of accommodating the material discharged from the extrusion part 223, thereby molding the material discharged from the extrusion part 223 on the work table 260.
At this time, x and y coordinates for determining the position of the printed food item may be provided on the work table 260, and thus the printing part 220 may manufacture the three-dimensional modeled food item based on the x and y coordinates of the work table 260 according to the control of the processor 290.
Next, the communication unit 270 may transmit and receive various data and/or information and the like for providing the three-dimensional food printer 200 service for printing food containing customized vitamins by a private through a network.
In an embodiment, the communication unit 270 may obtain the user body information by communicating with the terminal 100, and may obtain the three-dimensional drawing information by communicating with the three-dimensional drawing providing server 300.
The communication unit 270 may transmit and receive wireless signals to and from at least one of the external terminal 100 and an arbitrary server on a Mobile communication network constructed according to a technical standard or a communication method (for example, gsm (global System for Mobile communication), cdma (code Division multiple access), hsdpa (high Speed Downlink Packet access), hsupa (high Speed Uplink Packet access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), LTE-a (Long Term Evolution-Advanced), or the like) used for Mobile communication.
Next, the memory 280 may store at least one or more of various data, applications, and commands related to the three-dimensional food printer 200 service for printing food containing personalized vitamins.
The memory 280 may be various storage devices such as ROM, RAM, EPROM, flash disk, hard disk, etc., and may further include a network storage (web storage) on the internet (internet) to perform a storage function of the memory 280.
Next, processor 290 may control the overall operation of the aforementioned components to provide a three-dimensional food printer 200 for printing food containing customized vitamins.
In particular, in an embodiment of the present invention, the processor 290 may include a capsule management unit 291 that manages a plurality of capsules included in the capsule portion 210.
Specifically, the capsule management unit 291 may adjust the temperature and/or humidity of each vitamin capsule 211 based on the temperature and/or humidity sensing information obtained by the temperature sensor 231 and the humidity sensor 232 matched to each vitamin capsule 211.
More specifically, the capsule management unit 291 may control the temperature sensor 231 and/or the humidity sensor 232 to continuously maintain the internal environment of each vitamin capsule 211 according to the preset optimal temperature and/or humidity of each vitamin capsule 211.
As an example, the capsule management unit 291 may determine whether the internal temperature of the first vitamin capsule is an optimal temperature suitable for storing the first vitamin contained in the first vitamin capsule based on the temperature information of the first vitamin capsule obtained from the temperature sensor 231 and the optimal temperature information matched to the first vitamin capsule preset. In addition, when the capsule management unit 291 determines that the temperature inside the first vitamin capsule is not appropriate as the optimum temperature, the internal temperature environment of the first vitamin capsule can be adjusted by controlling the temperature controller connected to the temperature sensor 231 of the first vitamin capsule.
In addition, in another embodiment, the capsule management unit 291 may determine whether the humidity inside the first vitamin capsule is the optimum humidity suitable for storing the first vitamin contained in the first vitamin capsule based on the humidity information of the first vitamin capsule obtained from the humidity sensor 232 and the optimum humidity information matched to the first vitamin capsule preset. In addition, when the capsule management unit 291 determines that the humidity inside the first vitamin capsule is not suitable as the optimum humidity, the humidity controller connected to the humidity sensor 232 of the first vitamin capsule may control the internal humidity environment of the first vitamin capsule.
In addition, the capsule management unit 291 may manage the expiration date of the vitamins built in the vitamin capsule 211 based on expiration date information by different vitamins input by the user obtained through the input detection part 240 or expiration date information by different vitamins preset and stored in the memory 280 by the vitamins built in the vitamin capsule 211.
Specifically, the capsule management unit 291 may perform the expiration date management of each vitamin by outputting expiration date information of each vitamin through the presentation part 250 to provide a reminder mark (e.g., highlight reminder, warning light reminder, etc.) for a vitamin near the expiration date, guide replacement of the corresponding vitamin, and the like.
In addition, the processor 290 may be implemented by at least one of asics (application specific integrated circuits), dsps (digital signal processors), dspds (digital signal processing devices), plds (programmable logic devices), fpgas (field programmable gate arrays), controllers (controllers), micro-controllers, microprocessors (micro-processors), and other electrical units for function execution.

Method for providing food products containing customized vitamins for a three-dimensional food printer
Hereinafter, a method for providing a food containing customized vitamins by the three-dimensional food printer 200 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a method of providing a food product containing personalized customized vitamins by three-dimensional food printer 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the three-dimensional food printer 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention may provide a three-dimensional food containing customized vitamins by first mixing the vitamins required by the user, which are determined based on the physical state of the user, with chocolate, which is a food material, and then discharging the mixture through the extruding part 223.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the processor 290 of the three-dimensional food printer 200 may first obtain the user's body information. (S101)
Here, the user body information is information indicating a body state of the user, and may include basic information (age, weight, height, obesity, sex, and/or the like) and idiosyncratic information (lifestyle habits, eating habits, exercise habits, sleeping habits, eye fatigue, pregnancy, stress, smoking, drinking, and/or menstruation, and the like).
More specifically, the processor 290 may obtain the user body information from the terminal 100 and/or an external medical-related server installed with a body information input application for obtaining the user body information.
At this time, the body information input application may provide an interface through which the user body information input may be obtained, and the user body information may be obtained by detecting the user input to the provided interface.
For example, if referring to fig. 6a and 6b, the body information input application may obtain the user body information input directly from the user, as shown in fig. 6a, or provide a questionnaire interface related to the user's body state to obtain the user's body information, as shown in fig. 6 b.
As described above, the processor 290 can know the physical state of the user based on clear data by obtaining the user's physical information through the terminal 100 equipped with the physical information input application and/or an external medical-related server.
Although in the above, it is described that the processor 290 of the three-dimensional food printer 200 obtains the user body information from the terminal 100 and/or an external medical-related server, various embodiments are possible, for example, the three-dimensional food printer 200 directly includes an application for obtaining the user body information, thereby obtaining the user body information by itself.
Next, processor 290 may derive necessary vitamin information for the user based on the obtained body information of the user. (S103)
Here, the essential vitamin may be one or more vitamins detected based on the user's physical information for the need of ingestion, i.e., user-customized vitamins.
In addition, the necessary vitamin information may be information including the kind of customized vitamins optimized for an individual according to the user's physical information, an appropriate supply amount for each customized vitamin, and the like.
For example, the processor 290 determines that the essential vitamin is vitamin B5 in the case of a person who feels fatigue and obesity, determines that the essential vitamin is vitamin B6 and vitamin C in the case of a person who is highly stressed, and determines that the essential vitamin is vitamin B and vitamin C in the case of a woman in menopause, based on the physical state of the user obtained from the user physical information. In addition, the appropriate supply amount of each necessary vitamin determined by processor 290 may also be set based on the physical state of the user.
In addition, processor 290 may generate user-customized vitamin essential information based on the determined type and supply amount of the vitamin essential.
In addition, the processor 290 may provide the generated necessary vitamin information by outputting the information through the display unit 250 of the three-dimensional food printer 200.
For example, as shown in fig. 7, the processor 290 may generate a bar graph and/or a circle graph based on the necessary vitamin information, which is the type and the supply amount of the vitamin required by the user, and may output the generated bar graph and/or circle graph through the display of the display unit 250.
As described above, the processor 290 derives the necessary vitamin information according to the physical state of the user and provides the derived necessary vitamin information in the graphic image, so that the vitamin to be matched to the food containing the user-customized vitamin can be determined based on the explicit data, and the user can easily and intuitively recognize the information on the determined vitamin.
In addition, the processor 290 of the three-dimensional food printer 200 may obtain three-dimensional drawing information for three-dimensional printing. (S105)
Here, the three-dimensional drawing information is information related to a drawing selected by a user for three-dimensional Modeling (3D Modeling) for the three-dimensional food printer 200, and may include three-dimensional drawing data representing a structure or a shape of a three-dimensional object (object) and/or three-dimensional drawing basic information (e.g., name, size, volume, color, and/or coordinate information of the object, etc.) matched to each three-dimensional drawing data.
Specifically, the processor 290 may communicate with the three-dimensional drawing providing server 300 and/or the terminal 100, etc., obtain three-dimensional drawing information including three-dimensional drawing data and/or three-dimensional drawing basic information selected by the user, and thus effectively construct the shape of the three-dimensional modeled food.
Next, the processor 290 may manufacture the food material containing customized vitamins based on the obtained essential vitamin information and the three-dimensional drawing information. (S107)
Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of an example of the three-dimensional food printer 200 according to the embodiment of the invention for manufacturing food material containing customized vitamins.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the processor 290 may perform a recipe for adding at least one or more essential vitamins to a food material (chocolate) for three-dimensional food printing based on the essential vitamin information and the three-dimensional drawing information, thereby generating a food material containing user-customized vitamins.
More specifically, the processor 290 may detect at least one or more essential vitamins matching the essential vitamin information from among the plurality of vitamins incorporated in the capsule unit 210 of the three-dimensional food printer 200.

In addition, the processor 290 may control the pressurizing part 221 based on the calculated food material supply amount so that the food material flows out from the main capsule 212 containing the food material to the matching part 222 by the food material supply amount.
In this case, in the embodiment of the present invention, the processor 290 may detect a change in temperature and/or humidity inside the vitamin capsule 211 due to a predetermined vitamin outflow from the vitamin capsule 211.
The processor 290, which detects the change in the temperature and/or humidity inside the vitamin capsule 211, controls the sensor unit 230 coupled to each vitamin capsule 211 in real time by the capsule management unit 291, so as to maintain the optimum capsule internal temperature and/or humidity preset for each vitamin capsule 211.
As described above, the processor 290 monitors the vitamin environment elements (temperature and/or humidity, etc.) of each vitamin capsule 211 in real time, and controls the sensor unit 230 in real time according to the detected changes to maintain the vitamin environment elements inside each vitamin capsule 211 in a state in which the vitamins contained in each vitamin capsule 211 are optimized, thereby minimizing oxidation of the vitamins to be incorporated into the food, and providing a reliable vitamin-containing food harmless to the human body.
In addition, the processor 290, which discharges the necessary vitamin to the matching part 222 in the necessary vitamin supply amount for at least one necessary vitamin, and discharges the food to the matching part 222 in the calculated food supply amount, may match the at least one necessary vitamin and the food (chocolate) flowing into the matching part 222.
In this case, the processor 290 is configured to effectively mix a plurality of materials including at least one or more essential vitamins and food materials, and is configured to control the mixer blade provided inside the mixing part 222 to rotate. Such that the processor 290 may mix together the plurality of materials flowing into the collocation 222 to produce the customized vitamin-containing food material.
As described above, the processor 290 fully matches the food material of the three-dimensional food printer 200 and the essential vitamins derived based on the physical state of the user to manufacture a customized vitamin-containing food material, thereby further improving the quality of the food containing customized vitamins for the private.
