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.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of a food printer in a plan view
- Figure 2 is a block diagram of a food printer in a side view.
- Fig. 1 shows an exemplary food printer 100 in a plan view (from above).
- the food printer 100 comprises a pressure plate 101 which, for example, has the shape of a semicircle and which can be rotated about a first rotation axis 102 (indicated by the arrow 103) by means of a first actuator 12 (eg, a servomotor, a stepping motor, etc.).
- a first actuator 12 eg, a servomotor, a stepping motor, etc.
- such a region of the pressure plate 101 can be transferred into a cooking chamber 109, or be transferred out of the cooking chamber 109 in a pressure range 1 18.
- the food printer 100 further comprises a print head 104, which is rotated about a second rotation axis 105 by means of a second actuator 15.
- a print head 104 which is rotated about a second rotation axis 105 by means of a second actuator 15.
- one or more nozzles 107 of printhead 104 may be rotated about the second axis of rotation 105 (indicated by arrow 106).
- a nozzle 107 may be connected to a cartridge or to a container for pressure mass.
- an actuator 1 16 eg by means of a linear motor
- pressure mass can be extruded via the nozzle 107 onto the printing plate 101 to print a food 108.
- the axes of rotation 102, 105 are arranged such that the rotation of a nozzle 107 and / or the rotation of the printing plate 101 in a certain pressure range 1 18, the nozzle 107 can be arranged over any points on the surface of the printing plate 101. 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.
- the control unit 1 1 1 can then rotate the printing plate 101 and / or the printhead 104 such that certain points on the surface of the printing plate 101 are approached.
- the control unit 1 1 1 on reaching the specific points a nozzle 107 to control to extrude pressure mass.
- a three-dimensional food 108 can be printed on the printing plate 101 in layers.
- the printed on the printing plate 101 food 108 can be transferred after completion of the printing process or after completion of a part of the printing process by a rotation of the pressure plate 101 about the rotation axis 102 in the cooking chamber 109.
- the cooking chamber 109 may include one or more heating elements 1 10, with which the cooking chamber 109 can be heated to cook the food 108.
- the rotation of the pressure plate 101 thus enables a time-efficient transfer of a food 108 from a pressure range 1 18 into a cooking space 109.
- a printhead 104 may include a plurality of nozzles 107 for applying different types of printing material (eg, printing inks of different colors and / or composition) to the printing plate 101.
- the nozzles 107 may be arranged similar to a revolving magazine or, similar to a carousel, about the rotation axis 105 of the printhead 104.
- complex food products 108 can be produced from a plurality of different pressure masses.
- a nozzle 107 of the foodstuff printer 100 can have a temperature control unit 17, with which the temperature of a pressure mass can be changed. Thus, the quality of the printed food 108 can be increased.
- FIG. 2 shows the foodstuff printer 100 from FIG. 1 in a side view. From Fig. 2 it can be seen how the print head 104 can be rotated about the rotation axis 105 and how the pressure plate 101 can be rotated about the rotation axis 102.
- the food printer 100 may include another actuator 201 (e.g., a linear motor) capable of changing the distance between a nozzle 107 and the pressure plate 101 (indicated by the arrow 202).
- the printhead 104 may be moved toward the printing plate 101 toward or away from the printing plate 101.
- the 3D print quality of the food printer 100 can be increased.
- the cooking chamber 109 can be closed by a gate 209.
- a pressure plate 101 which extends only along one side of the first axis of rotation 102 (eg a semicircular pressure plate 101) is advantageous, since in this case the pressure plate 101 can be completely transferred into the cooking space 109 by rotation about the first axis of rotation 102 and thus the cooking chamber 109 can be completely closed by the gate 209.
- the food printer 100 described in FIGS. 1 and 2 makes it possible to position the nozzle 107 at different points over a printing plate 101 by means of pure rotational movements in a time-efficient manner for a printing process. Furthermore, by the same rotational movement, a printed food 108 in FIG time-efficient manner from the pressure range 1 18 are transferred into the cooking chamber 109. Furthermore, the described construction enables the provision of a compact food printer 100.
