Prior to this, terms or words used in this specification and claims should not be construed as limited to ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted as meanings and concepts consistent with the technical spirit of the present invention.

Throughout this specification, when a member is said to be located “on” another member, this includes not only a case where a member is in contact with another member, but also a case where another member exists between the two members. Throughout this specification, when a certain component is said to "include", it means that it may further include other components without excluding other components unless otherwise stated.

2 is a configuration diagram showing an automated cooking appliance system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the automated cooking appliance system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a first cooking unit 110, a second cooking unit 120, an output unit 130, and a control unit 140 performing specific roles. It may be a configuration that includes.

Specifically, the first cooking unit 110 and the second cooking unit 120 are disposed adjacent to each other or disposed at appropriate positions according to the operator's intention, and are capable of independently storing food and cooking. It may be a configuration including tools (111, 121).

The first cooking unit 110 according to the present embodiment may be equipped with an optical information detection device 160 that detects a cooking state of food to be cooked stored in the cooking utensil 111 .

On the other hand, the second cooking unit 120 may be equipped with an automatic cooking robot 171 or an automatic cooking machine 172 that operates the ingredients stored in the cooking utensils 121 according to a preset program. At this time, the automatic cooking robot 171 and the automatic cooking machine 172 operate according to the control signal of the control unit 140 to perform cooking.

The aforementioned optical information detection device 160 includes a plurality of light emitting members 161 and a light receiving member 162, and includes a process of irradiating light to an object to be cooked at least three times during cooking and then detecting a reflection value. It is possible to detect the cooking state of the object to be cooked in real time by performing it repeatedly in real time. Specifically, the light emitting member 161 may radiate light of a specific wavelength to the object to be cooked during cooking. At this time, the light receiving member 162 may detect a reflection value returned by reflection of the light irradiated from the light generating member.

Specifically, the optical information detection device 160 according to the present embodiment is configured to include an optical spectrum analyzer (Multispectral Imaging). At this time, the optical spectrum analyzer is a device capable of emitting light of a plurality of specific wavelengths and recognizing the cooking state of the food material in molecular units based on the reflection value of the food material. can be observed

That is, the optical information detection device 160 according to the present embodiment identifies molecular unit denaturation due to heating of food with reflection values for a plurality of specific wavelengths, and based on this, it is possible to easily cook food with high cooking difficulty. there is. Here, the high cooking difficulty means the difficulty of cooking food for which time and temperature cannot be defined, such as requiring a change in an assembly method within a short time or additional input of ingredients and sauce.

More specifically, the first cooking unit 110 according to the present embodiment is a very high temperature (250 degrees Celsius or more) radiant heat or steam heat source that can instantly burn ingredients when cooking time variance is large among chefs even for the same menu. This configuration is used when using . At this time, the first cooking unit 110 can perform automatic cooking that can maximize the taste difference even though the cooking difficulty is high. The reason why the first cooking unit 110 can perform automatic cooking according to the present embodiment is a multispectral imaging device capable of recognizing the cooking state of food ingredients in molecular units, including Maillard reaction and collagen secondary. This is because it uses a heat source with high cooking difficulty while observing transformation in real time.

In normal cases, most foods are defined in advance with time and temperature, and when the type of food is identified, it is cooked in an automatic cooking mode in an oven or the like.

Representative examples that are not defined by time and temperature include the Maillard reaction of steak cooked for a short time at high temperature and the method of secondary denaturation of collagen in chicken skin to cook crispy chicken skin (chefs can see with their own eyes or manually It is cooked while pressing).

According to this embodiment, the detection device 160 equipped with a sensor capable of optical spectral imaging analysis is used to sense the protein denaturation state of the steak using strong heat, and the Maillard reaction (from the molecular level, myoglobin → denatured meta Myoglobin denaturation) or by using high-temperature steam heat to bake crispy chicken skin, the secondary denaturation of collagen in the skin can be detected.

Meanwhile, the output unit 130 according to the present embodiment is configured to be disposed adjacent to the first cooking unit 110 or disposed at an appropriate place according to an operator's intention. Specifically, the output unit 130 is operated by a control signal received from the control unit 140, and visual and auditory information is provided to the operator according to the input timing of food ingredient information to be stored in the cooking utensils of the first cooking unit 110. It can be output using means.

The control unit 140 according to the present embodiment is installed adjacent to the output unit 130, and determines the cooking state of the ingredients based on the information obtained from the optical information detection device 160, and completes the total cooking time. It is possible to predict and transmit a control signal to the output unit 130 based on the predicted result value.

Preferably, the controller 140 transmits action information to be taken by an operator to the first cooking unit 110 corresponding to each action so as to synchronize cooperative cooking timing between the first cooking unit 110 and the second cooking unit 120. It is possible to transmit the control signal to the output unit 130 according to the timing and control the cooking start timing of the second cooking unit 120 .

In some cases, the control signal transmitted to the output unit 130 may be transmitted in consideration of a time notified in advance to perform the action when the operator's action cannot be performed immediately.

More preferably, the control unit 140 determines the cooking state of the object to be cooked based on the data detected from the optical information detection device 160 mounted in the first cooking unit 110 and then changes the total cooking time according to the cooking state. can At the same time, the control unit 140 may change the order and time of actions to be taken by the operator in the first cooking unit 110 and the second cooking unit 120 to correspond thereto, and then transmit the control signal to the output unit 130. .

As described above, the automated cooking appliance system 100 according to the present embodiment can estimate the food cooking completion time of the first cooking unit 110 in real time.

In this case, the first cooking unit 110 according to the present embodiment may implement an algorithm capable of predicting the food cooking completion time in real time using the optical information detection device 160 . Specifically, through an algorithm capable of predicting the cooking completion time of the first cooking unit 110 in real time, the next action is notified to the chef operating the restaurant in advance, thereby maximizing productivity while automatically cooking food with high-level cooking skills. can

On the other hand, in operating a restaurant, cooking productivity is as important as delicious automatic cooking with the special automated cooking appliance system of the present invention. When a very high temperature radiant heat or steam heat source is used, cooking time variance is large even when cooking the same menu, which deteriorates cooking productivity. This is because even in one menu, high-difficulty cooking with a large deviation from general cooking defined by time and temperature is often performed at the same time. For example, in hamburgers and sliders, the inner ingredients such as patties, chicken, fish, and meat steaks cannot be defined by time and temperature, but the baking or steaming of the outer ingredients can be defined by time and temperature. Therefore, when performing high-difficulty cooking with a large time variance, it is difficult to recognize the completion time in real time, but it is very important to improve productivity.

According to this embodiment, an algorithm capable of predicting the cooking completion time of the first cooking unit 110 in real time informs the chef operating the restaurant of the next action in advance, thereby automatically cooking food with high-level cooking skills while increasing productivity. can maximize That is, the first cooking unit 110 according to the present embodiment is special cooking equipment that automatically performs high-difficulty cooking skills like a chef's, rather than general cooking.

On the other hand, in the case of the automatic cooking apparatus according to the prior art, it is impossible to predict the cooking completion time in advance and the deviation is large. The reason is that it is different depending on the time it was taken out of the refrigerator, the fat/protein ratio, the amount of surface moisture, and the amount of sauce added. At this time, it is very important to monitor the Maillard reaction of ingredients or the degree of secondary denaturation of collagen in chicken skin in real time, and inform the chef to apply the sauce 10 seconds before completion. According to this embodiment, the above-mentioned problems according to the prior art are solved.

In particular, in the case of restaurants, there are many cases where ingredients that require a high degree of difficulty that cannot be defined by time and temperature are used together in one menu (for example, patties, chicken, and fish, which are ingredients in hamburgers and sliders) In this case, synchronization is important for efficiency.

In the case of Salmon Sliders, the display notifies the chef to see how the salmon is cooked (definable by time and temperature) and toast the bread at the expected finish (definable by time and temperature), increasing restaurant production efficiency by increasing synchronization. can be raised

That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to cook deliciously like a chef by utilizing a sensor capable of optical spectrum analysis, even for dishes in which it is difficult to determine the completion time in advance and the cooking time is different each time. In addition, according to the present invention, in the case of a restaurant, cooking efficiency can be increased by notifying the completion time of cooking or the expected start time of the next cooking step (insertion of sauce, cooking of other ingredients, etc.). As a result, the present invention automatically cooks food that is not defined by time and temperature, and informs the chef or the automatic cooking system that can be defined in advance by time and temperature when the current cooking step is completed, so that the system can be operated efficiently. .

Although only one first cooking unit 110 and one second cooking unit 120 are shown in FIG. 2 , a plurality of units may be configured depending on the type and quantity of cooking and the operator's intention.

In some cases, when there is a plurality of first cooking units 110, priority is given according to a preset importance among the plurality of first cooking units 110, and the first cooking unit 110 having the highest priority is the shortest cooking. It is desirable to synchronize the collaborative cooking time based on the expected completion time.

In this case, the control unit 140 may control the first cooking unit 110, the second cooking unit 120, and the output unit 130 by utilizing a wired/wireless communication means or an internal network.

3 is a picture showing an output unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a picture showing an output unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to these drawings, the first cooking unit 110 and the second cooking unit 120 according to the present embodiment may have a configuration including a food ingredient input unit 150 .

Specifically, the ingredient input unit 150 according to the present embodiment may put the stored ingredients into the cooking utensils of the first cooking unit 110 and the second cooking unit 120 according to a control signal from the control unit 140. .

At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 , the control unit 140 outputs action information to be taken by the operator according to the calculated and processed result based on the information obtained from the optical information detection device 160 through the output unit 130. can be transmitted as a control signal. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , the controller 140 may output action information to the operator to place salmon on the third blue container of the fifth cooking utensil through the output unit 130 .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 , the control unit 140 transmits action information to be taken by the operator as a control signal to the output unit 130 at a time corresponding to each action, or transmits all action information necessary for cooking. It can be collectively transmitted to the output unit 130 as a control signal. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 , the control unit 140 arranges the process of using the 3rd cooker, the process of using the 1st cooker, and the action information of using the 4th cooker by time, and outputs the output unit 130. It can be output to the operator through .

On the other hand, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, it is preferable that the food material input unit 150 according to the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of food material storage units and sauce storage units. In this case, it is preferable that the control unit 140 transmits the food ingredients and source information to be stored in the food storage unit and the sauce storage unit of the first cooking unit 110 and the time to be stored to the output unit 130 as a control signal. .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the food material input unit 150 according to the present embodiment includes a storage presence detection unit 151 for detecting whether or not the food material to be stored in the food storage unit and the sauce storage unit is drawn in and the stored weight. ). Instead of the storage availability detection unit 151, a storage availability input unit 152 for receiving an input that the food ingredients are stored in the food storage unit and the sauce storage unit may be included. In this case, the storage availability detection unit 151 and the storage availability input unit 152 transmit the detected information or input value to the control unit 140, and the control unit 140 utilizes this to control the operation of the food ingredient input unit 150. You can control it.

As described above, the present invention is an automated cooking appliance system suitable for cooking using strong heat and various heat sources. Unlike ordinary people, chefs use relatively strong heat, high temperature, and various heat sources when cooking. Examples of various heat sources used include a heat source using conduction, a heat source using steam, a heat source using radiation, and a heat source using convective heat. Therefore, as very diverse processes are performed, such as the time required for cooking and the process of using a heat source occurring instantaneously, general automatic cookers cannot achieve the best cooking results.

However, the present invention can achieve the best cooking result by analyzing the cooking state in a molecular state through light spectrum analysis and operating the cooking appliance system based on the data analyzed in real time.

In addition, in the case of an automatic cooking system for chefs in restaurants other than households, the number of dishes per hour, that is, the turnover rate, is very important, so it is important to increase productivity through synchronization.

The present invention can increase productivity while automating chef-level cooking by applying a configuration capable of optical spectrum analysis (multiple LED arrays for light emission, imaging sensors for receiving light) in the kitchen of a chef's restaurant. In addition, the present invention can improve both cooking level and productivity by automatically synchronizing and showing the chef the time of completion or what to do next along with the expected time through UX through a cooking completion time prediction algorithm.
