说 明 书 一种用于烹调设备的液体物料投放装置及方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于烹调机的液体物料的投放领域,具体涉及一种运用于 烹调设备上的自动或半自动投放液体物料的装置及方法。 背景技术
随着现代生活的发展, 厨房革命开始兴起, 人们开始追求、 研究一种可以 代替或者部分代替人工操作的烹调设备。随着自动化要求逐步提升,诸如油料、 汤料, 水等液体物料的自动或半自动投放成为一种必然趋势。
目前所公知的, 液体物料的自动或半自动投放通常是经由投放通道实现。 就烹饪而言, 非常讲究火候, 所以对投料时间和投料量, 要求严格。 烹饪中所 用的液体物料种类多,物理特性复杂,其在投放通道内的流速与多种因素关联, 所以一般方法中很难实现烹饪中对投料的要求。
如单独考虑时效性, 由于某些液体物料如: 油、 汤等具有粘稠性, 流速緩 慢, 则需要将液体物料由来源处转移至烹调容器的途径缩短, 譬如将储液容 器放置于靠近烹调器具的位置。 但在实际运用中, 储液容器通常需要较大的容 量和体积, 以便一次加料后, 能持续进行多个菜肴的加工。 基于安全、 美观等 设计方面的考虑, 其放置位置难以如此灵活实现。 或者也可通过扩大投放通道 来提高流速, 但这样一来, 由于流速大而且不稳定, 投放时间短, 很难准确控 制液体物料投放量。 也有人考虑到通过加热液体物料来提高其流动速度, 但由 于投放通道通常比较长, 液体在转移传输的途中可能会产生温度的变化, 即温 度不均勾、不稳定, 而流动速度又根据温度的变化而变化, 因此计量十分困难, 投量难以精确控制。
中国专利 01107447. 7 中公开了一种智能烹调方法及系统, 其中包括液体 物料的投放装置, 是将液体存储在容器中, 通过细长的管道输送入锅, 并由微 电脑控制电磁阀的通断来实现计量。 但是, 液体存储容器是通过管道直接与锅 相连, 当输送例如油料等具有粘稠性的液体时, 液体在细长管道内流动緩慢, 若单纯通过自身的重力或液压泵来其投放到锅体内, 会使得等待时间长, 降低 了烹调设备的工作效率。
因此,寻求一种可以使液体物料自动或半自动投放时快速且投量准确的装 置及方法, 是目前人们所要解决的问题。 发明内容
本发明的主要目的是提供一种用于烹调设备的液体物料投放装置及方法, 可克服现有液体物料投放的缺陷, 使液体物料的投放更及时、 投放时间更短。
本发明的另一目的在于提供一种投放液体物料的装置及方法,其可对投放 前的液体物料进行加热预处理, 减少烹调时间, 加快烹调速度。
一种用于烹调设备的液体物料投放装置, 其包括液体物料盛放容器、 控制 器、 物料转移装置, 在液体物料从所述的液体物料盛放容器转移到烹调容器的 路途中还设置有中间容器, 控制器与物料转移装置相连, 控制器控制物料转移 装置, 使所述的液体物料盛放容器中的液体物料投入到中间容器中, 然后再从 中间容器投放到烹调设备的锅体内。
上述所提到的液体物料, 其是指油、 汤、 水、 液体调料、 芡料, 以及其它 在烹调过程中会用到的液体物料。
上述液体物料投放装置中, 其液体物料盛放容器, 可以指液体物料的储存 装置例如油箱、 储液罐、 液体物料包装等, 也可以是液体物料的供应系统例如 自来水系统、 油供应系统等, 它通常具有较大的储量或者可以多次 /连续地供 应液体物料。 液体物料盛放容器可以位于烹调设备系统外部, 其中的液体物料 通过各种传输手段和设备被自动 /半自动地引入烹调设备系统内部; 也可以位 于烹调设备系统内部。
上述液体物料投放装置中, 中间容器是指在物料从液体物料盛放容器到烹 调容器的转移途中所设置的一个或一个以上液体物料暂存装置, 投放物料时, 物料先从液体物料盛放容器转移到中间容器中, 然后再从该中间容器中自动 / 半自动地投放到烹调容器中。 该中间容器指一种可以提供液体物料在转移过程 中緩沖暂时停留的装置, 其可以是常规意义上独立成形的容器, 或者仅仅是可 以容纳液体物料的空间, 例如运用管道转移液体物料时, 通过设置截流阀门在 管道中所形成的存储空间。 也可以是两个或多个容器。 相对于物料来源, 中间 容器通常体积 /容积比较小, 其在烹调设备中的位置也可以比较灵活地设置, 例如设置在比来源更靠近烹调容器处, 以便快速投料。
上述液体物料投放装置中, 物料转移装置是用来在液体物料盛放容器、 中 间容器和烹调容器之间转移液体物料的自动 /半自动装置, 例如传输管道、 开 关、 阀门、 活门、 泵、 吸 /盛液装置、 和 /或其它。 该转移装置可以是独立的, 或者是与物料来源或中间容器相连接的,也可以是和物料来源或中间容器互相 整合的, 比如说吸 /盛液式中间容器本身就可作为一种转移装置。 其优选为电 磁阀。
上述液体物料投放装置中,控制器可以是一种计算机系统,或者是电、磁、 机械、 和 /或其它类型的控制系统, 其根据烹调需要控制所述物料转移装置的 运作, 包括液体物料的转移方式、 方向、 路径、 速度、 时间等。 该控制系统可 以是本发明液体物料投放装置本身专有的控制系统,也可以是烹调设备控制系 统的一部分或与其相连。

上述的温控装置包括检测装置及加热装置,检测装置将中间容器内的液体 温度发送给控制器, 控制器根据设定的温度控制加热装置加热。
上述的检测装置可以检测液体物料的温度, 和 /或其它相关因素例如液体 物料所处周围的环境温度, 其优选为温度传感器。
上述温度传感器, 可以是非接触式传感器, 如红外线温度传感器等; 也可 以是接触式传感器如热电偶, 热电阻等。 检测装置将液体物料温度、 加热装置 的加热强度和 /或加热时间等数据反馈给控制器, 通过控制器将液体物料加热 到预定温度并保持之。

上述加热装置, 其可以是燃气装置 /电热装置 /电磁加热装置 /微波加热装 置 /光波加热装置 /红外加热装置 /其它。 其可设置在物料盛放容器部位、 中间 容器部位、 和 /或液体物料转移的途中。 优选的是: 在中间容器部位设置加热 装置, 该实施时加热装置优选电热管, 一来由于中间容器较小, 便于实现加热 及温度控制, 二来由于中间容器通常设置在靠近烹调容器处, 物料从中间容器 到烹调容器的转移路径较短, 因而转移过程中的温度变化较小。 在本发明的液 体物料投放装置中还可以设置有保温装置。
上述液体物料投放装置中, 还可以配备有计量装置, 用以测量所转移的液 体物料的量。 计量装置可大体分为计量质量的装置如重量传感器、 计量体积 / 容积的装置如液位计、 计量流量的装置如流量计、 计量时间的装置如计时器及 其它, 也可以是上述装置的组合。 实际运用中, 计量装置并不限于以上几种, 只要是能够起直接或间接液体计量作用的装置, 均落入本专利所述范围内。 计 量装置可以设置在物料盛放容器、 中间容器、 烹调容器处、 和 /或液体物料转 移的途中。 液体物料转移的途中又分为三类, 包括液体物料由物料盛放容器转 移至中间容器的途中, 液体物料由中间容器转移至烹调容器的途中, 以及当中 中优选的方式是将计量装置设置在中间容器处或液体物料由液体盛放容器转 移至中间容器的途中。
上述计量装置与控制器直接或间接相连, 当所计转移量达到目标量时, 即 发送信号使控制器停止相应的转移步骤。 而目标量是由烹调菜肴的相关烹调方 案所决定, 可以是静态数据或动态数据。 所谓静态数据, 可以是预先在控制器 或程序中设定好的, 也可以是从后台数据文件中取出的。 所谓动态数据, 可以 是人工手动输入的, 也可以是控制器根据监测系统反馈的与烹调实况相关的数 据、 人工手动输入的数据、 后台数据文件中读取出的数据, 和 /或程序中预先 设定的数据计算出来的值。
优选地, 本发明的液体物料投放装置是一种全自动的装置, 即物料的转移 和其它运作在控制系统的控制下自动进行。 本发明的液体物料投放装置也可以 是一种半自动的装置, 某些操作由人手操作或人手操作某种自动 /半自动装置 进行, 或者在控制系统 /烹调提示系统的指导 /提示下, 某些操作由人手执行或 由人手操作相关装置进行。
另一方面,本发明所提供的自动或半自动投放液体物料的方法是通过如下 技术方案来实现的:
利用中间容器将液体物料由物料来源处转移至烹调容器的步骤分解为两 步:
第一步, 将液体物料由物料盛放容器转移至中间容器; 第二步, 将液体物料由中间容器转移至烹调容器中。
上述自动或半自动投放液体物料的方法中, 所述 "转移" 的方式可以有多 种。 从转移模式的角度可包括落入的模式、 抽取的模式、 盛出的模式、 泵吸 / 推、 喷射的模式及其它。 从受力的角度可包括外力作用转移和内力作用转移。 其具体实施方法例如: 用液泵、 活塞以制造负气压等方式进行抽取, 利用可变 形容器的扩张 /收缩将液体吸取 /排出, 通过物块或者鼓入气流推动液体移动, 通过一种功能类似于 "铲"、 "勺" 的容器将液体盛出 /倒出。 也可以利用液体 物料自身的重力使其自动下落, 例如利用带阀门的管道引导、 将容器翻转倒出 液体、 将容器打开、 破坏容器使液体物料自动落下等。 所述 "将容器打开" 的 具体模式, 可以是打开活动门 /阀, 还可以是使容器产生分裂等其他方式。 所 述活动门 /阀可以位于容器底部, 也可以位于容器侧壁, 但优选的是位于容器 底部。
上述自动或半自动投放液体物料的方法中, 还可以插入一个步骤, 即当中 间容器为多个容器时, 可能存在液体物料在中间容器之间传递转移的步骤。
上述自动或半自动投放液体物料的方法中, 还可以包括计量的步骤, 用以 测量所转移的液体物料的量。 其计量的时机, 可选择在液体物料进入中间容器 之前、 进入中间容器之时 /后、 在中间容器之间转移之时、 和 /或由中间容器转 移至烹调容器之时。 其计量所采用的方式大体可以分为对质量的计量、 对体积 的计量、对流量的计量、对时间的计量及其它,也可以是上述这些方式的组合。
上述计量的步骤中, 还包括同步的监控。 当所计量达到目标量时, 即停止 相应的转移步骤。
上述自动或半自动投放液体物料的方法中, 还可以包括加热的步骤。 即根 据菜肴烹饪工艺的需要和程序设定, 在液体物料投放至烹调容器之前, 对其进 行力口热。 上述加热的步骤可以包括对温度、 加热时间和 /或加热强度的控制。 所控 制的目标值可以是动态值, 也可以是预先设定好的静态值; 这三个控制量可以 是相互独立的, 也可以是配合起来相互联系的。
上述自动或半自动投放液体物料的方法中, 向中间容器中所转移的液体物 料可以是为正在进行烹饪的菜肴所准备的, 或者为将要烹饪的菜肴而准备。 例 如, 若正在进行烹饪的菜肴接下来会有投放油、 汤、 水等液体物料的工序, 则 可提前从物料来源向中间容器转移所需液体物料和计量加热。如果正在进行烹 饪的菜肴已不再需要投放液体物料, 则可为将要进行烹饪的下一菜肴预先转移 液体物料和计量加热。
行投放, 例如从来源直接投放到烹调容器中。
与现有技术相比较, 采用本发明所介绍的设备及其相应方法后, 根据烹饪 工艺的要求, 液体物料可以在控制系统的调度之下提前计量并转移至中间容 器。 一般说来, 中间容器通常可以做成容积较小且位置更靠近烹调容器, 在投 放时可以更加容易控制投放速度, 且缩短投放距离, 故当需要正式投放入烹调 容器时, 可及时、 快速且准量地投放。 尤其是在配备有加热装置后, 一方面能 提高液体物料投放过程中的流速; 另一方面也使经过预热处理的液体物料进入 烹调容器后能够快速进入适宜烹饪状态, 减少等待时间。 而当烹调设备进行连 续烹调时, 本发明的有益效果更加明显, 可以在烹调的同时进行下一道工序或 下一菜肴所需液体物料的预处理, 因此可以大大提高烹调设备的工作效率。
下面接合附图对本发明创造的具体实施方式进行详细说明, 但是, 虽然通 过实施例描绘了本发明, 本领域普通技术人员知道, 本发明有许多变形和变化 而不脱离本发明的精神, 该具体实施方式并不以此来限定本发明的范围。

温控装置 5包括检测装置 51、 加热装置 52及温控开关 53 , 检测装置 51 , 在本实施例中, 其采用属于温度传感器的热电偶, 热电偶设于中间容器 2中, 其将检测到的液体物料的温度传递给控制器 3 , 然后由控制器 3控制加热装置 52加热。 加热装置 52, 其为设置在中间容器 2中的电热管。 温控开关 53与控 制器 3相连, 其可设置中间容器 2中液体物料的温度。
计量装置 6设于中间容器 2中, 其为一液位开关, 可以测量从液体物料盛 放容器 1转移到中间容器 2中的液体物料的量或从中间容器 2转移到锅体的液 体物料的量。
实施时,可以提前将烹饪菜肴所需要的液体物料提前计量并转移到距离锅 体较近的中间容器 2中, 并且可提前对液体物料进行加热预处理, 当需要投放 在锅体中时, 再将液体物料由中间容器 2投放到锅体中, 其节省了烹饪所需要 的时间。
图 2为本发明的实施例二, 其与实施例一相比, 中间容器 2是在管道 7中 间设置一直径稍大的管道而形成的空间。
图 3为本发明投放方法的实施例一的流程图。 其包括以下步骤:
101 )将烹调所需的液体物料由液体物料盛放容器转移至中间容器;
102 )将中间容器中的液体物料加热;
103 )将液体物料由中间容器转移至烹调容器中, 在转移的过程中, 根据 烹调的物料需求量, 计量转移物料的多少。
图 4为本发明投放方法的实施例二的流程图, 其包括以下步骤:
101 )将烹调所需的液体物料由液体物料盛放容器转移至中间容器, 在转 移过程中, 根据烹调的物料需求量, 计量应该转移多少物料;
102 )将中间容器中的液体物料加热;
103 )将液体物料由中间容器转移至烹调容器中。
