Definitions

  • the invention relates to a food printer for producing a foodstuff from printing material.
  • Food printers can be used to create from an edible printing mass a spatial array of print mass that can be cooked following the printing process (e.g., in an oven) to provide an individualized, cooked food.
  • a food printer for making a foodstuff of pressurized mass is described.
  • Exemplary foods are baked goods.
  • the food printer may e.g. be designed as a household appliance, in particular as a household appliance, which can be placed on a countertop in a kitchen and / or which can be integrated into a built-in cupboard of a kitchen.
  • the food printer comprises a pressure plate which can be rotated about a first axis of rotation by means of a first actuator. To produce a food pressure mass can be stored on the (flat) pressure plate.
  • the printing plate may have, for example, a round, semicircular or angular shape.
  • the food printer comprises at least one nozzle for the extrusion of printing material, wherein the nozzle can be rotated about a second axis of rotation by means of a second actuator.
  • the nozzle is eccentric at a certain distance from the arranged second axis of rotation.
  • the actuators may include one or more electric motors.
  • the food printer thus comprises a pressure plate and at least one nozzle, each of which can be rotated about different axes of rotation to position the pressure plate and the nozzle different from each other.
  • the two axes of rotation can be parallel to each other.
  • the first and second axes of rotation are arranged such that the nozzle is rotated by rotation of the pressure plate (about the first axis of rotation) and / or by rotation of the nozzle (at the predetermined distance about the second axis of rotation) at arbitrary positions in a pressure area above the pressure plate can be positioned.
  • the first and second rotation axes may be arranged so that the nozzle is disposed above the pressure plate when the nozzle is on a connecting line between the first and second rotation axes. This overlapping area between nozzle and pressure plate then defines the pressure range in which different pressure positions for the nozzle can be approached by rotation of the nozzle and / or the pressure plate. It can thus be printed by rotational movements, a three-dimensional food in the printing area.
  • the food printer further includes a controller configured to determine a three-dimensional model (e.g., within the framework of a recipe) for a foodstuff to be printed.
  • the control unit is further configured to drive the first actuator and the second actuator in response to the three-dimensional model to position the nozzle at different positions in the print area.
  • the control unit is arranged to control at least one nozzle actuator (eg an electric motor for moving a plunger which presses pressure medium through the nozzle) of the nozzle in dependence on the three-dimensional model in order to transfer pressure mass at the different positions in the pressure range apply the nozzle to the printing plate (especially to extrude) to make the food.
  • the food printer can thus print a three-dimensional food by rotational movements alone. It therefore becomes a time-efficient printing process allows. Furthermore, such a compact food printer can be provided.
  • the food printer may include a cooking space in which the printed food can be cooked.
  • the cooking chamber may: comprise means for heating and / or cooling the food; a heating oven and / or a microwave oven; include a laser to cook the food; Comprising means for generating water vapor; Comprise means for selective heat generation and / or comprise means for inductive heat generation.
  • the cooking chamber can be arranged such that the printed food can be transferred by rotation (in particular by a 180 ° rotation) of the pressure plate about the first axis of rotation from the pressure range in the cooking chamber. It can thus be used in an efficient manner, the rotational movement of the printing plate for the transfer between cooking chamber and printing area. This allows a time-efficient manufacturing process and a compact food printer.
  • the pressure plate may be formed such that the pressure plate is disposed only on one side of a plane including the first rotation axis.
  • the pressure plate may have a semicircular shape.
  • the food printer may then include a door configured to (fully) close the cooking chamber to the print area when the printing plate has been transferred to the cooking chamber. The use of such a printing plate thus enables a particularly efficient construction of a food printer.
  • the food printer may include a printhead having a (circular or part-circular) carousel that can be rotated about the second axis of rotation.
  • the nozzle may be disposed on the carousel at the predetermined distance from the second axis of rotation.
  • the carousel may comprise a plurality of nozzles arranged at the predetermined distance from the second axis of rotation.
  • the different nozzles can be used, for example, to extrude different pressure masses.
  • the three-dimensional model can display different pressure masses for the food to be printed and the controller may be configured to drive nozzle actuators of the plurality of nozzles in response to the three-dimensional model.
  • the food printer may comprise a cartridge or a container for receiving the pressure mass.
  • the nozzle can be integrated, for example, with a cartridge, wherein a cartridge optionally comprises a plurality of nozzles.
  • the food printer may be configured to receive different cartridges with different types of print mass.
  • the carousel can act as a carrier of one or more cartridges, the cartridges optionally comprising directly nozzles for the extrusion of printing material.
  • the nozzle actuators can be permanently installed with the food printer.
  • the cartridges may optionally include different sizes to accommodate different amounts of pressure mass.
  • the food printer may include moving means for varying a distance between the nozzle and the pressure plate along the second axis of rotation. In particular, can be changed by the moving means, the height of the nozzle or the carousel on the printing plate.
  • the control unit may be configured to control the moving means in response to the three-dimensional model to print the food. By changing the distance between the nozzle and the printing plate, the quality of the printed food can be improved.
  • the food printer may comprise at least one temperature control unit which is set up to temper the print mass before and / or during the extrusion through the nozzle. By the temperature of the pressure mass, the rheological properties of a pressure mass can be adjusted in a precise manner. So the print quality can be further increased.
  • the food printer may include radial means (eg, a guide rail and an actuator) to vary the particular distance of a nozzle from the second axis of rotation.
  • the control unit may be configured to control the radial means in dependence on the three-dimensional model. By an additional radial movement of a nozzle, the pressure range can be increased above the pressure plate.
  • the food printer typically includes a housing in which the o.g. Components (in particular the pressure plate, the nozzle and the rotation axes) are arranged.

It can thus be done in a time-efficient manner, a three-dimensional (3D) printing process alone with rotational movements.
  • the food printer 100 comprises a control unit 1 1 1, which is adapted to control the actuators 1 12, 1 15, 1 16 of the printing plate 101, the printhead 104 and the nozzle 1 16.
  • the control unit 11 1 can access a recipe or a 3D model of a food 108 to be printed.
  • the recipe or the 3D model can indicate which print mass and which quantities of print mass are to be extruded at different points on the surface of the printing plate 101.
