随着生活节奏的加快和厨房革命的兴起,自动化的烹饪设备将逐渐成为厨房烹饪的主角。
烹饪设备是一种可以对烹饪原料进行烹调的电器设备,无需人工看管。用户将准备好的主料、配料投入烹饪设备的烹饪容器,并设定程序后,烹饪设备可以按照设定的程序实现自动炒、煎、烹、炸、爆、焖、蒸、煮、烙、炖、煲等多种功能,并可以通过加料装置向烹饪设备的烹饪容器中添加调料,实现了自动化烹饪。
为了进一步提高烹饪设备的智能性以降低用户使用门限,还需尽可能地检测烹饪设备自身的一些状态。例如,与加料装置相关的一些状态,如加料装置中的料盒安装状态、料盒所存放的调料、料盒的出料量、加料装置与烹饪设备主机体间的连通状况、料盒中是否缺料等等。所述加料装置主要是指添加调料的装置,当然也不排除可以是主料添加装置。在本实施例的场景下,设定加料装置的各个料盒中放置的是各种调料,特别是指液体状态或流体状态的调料。调料包括人们用来调制作食品等的辅助用品,如酱油、食盐、酱味等单一调味料及鸡精调味料等复合调味料等。
图1是一种加料装置的示意性结构图。加料装置1100可以应用在烹饪设备中。
加料装置1100包括基座1110和多个料盒1121至1127。多个料盒1121至1127设置在基座1110的上方。
用户将多种调料分别投入个料盒1121至1127。
基座1110内设置有每个料盒对应的泵。每个泵用于将其对应的料盒中的调料抽出。
基座1110上设置有料输出接口1111和电接口1112。从料盒抽出的调料可以通过料输出接口1111经输料管道输送至烹饪设备的烹饪容器。
烹饪容器可以位于烹饪设备的主体机。主体机可以通过电接口1112为加料装置1100供电。
烹饪设备的主体机与烹饪设备的加料装置1100之间可以进行信息交互。主体机与加料 装置1100可以通过有线或无线的方式进行通信。无线通信方式可以为但不限于蓝牙、紫蜂(ZigBee)、无线保真技术(wireless-fidelity,WiFi)等。
主机体与加料装置1100之间通过信息交互可以实现相应的各种功能。比如,设在主机体上的处理器可以基于主机体与加料装置间的信息交互,控制加料装置1100自动向位于主体机的烹饪容器121内添加调料、接收加料装置1100对料盒内是否无料等的检测结果。
图2是一种料盒的示意图。图2所示的料盒1200可以是料盒1121至1127中的任一个。
如图2所示,料盒1200的内部设置有内部管道1211,料盒1200的外侧设置有外部管道1211。内部管道1211的底部可以与料盒1200的底部接触或不接触。料盒1200侧壁靠近顶部的位置可以设置有突出部1240。内部管道1210的顶部经过突出部1240的底部与外部管道1211的顶部连接。
料盒1200中的流体可以经过内部管道1211和外部管道1211后流动至输出接口1111。料盒1200对应的泵1220可以为流体在内部管道1211和外部管道1211中的流动提供动力,以使得料盒1200中的流体流动至输出接口1111,即使得料盒1200出料。
料盒1200可以设置在加料装置1100的负载平台上。负载平台的上表面可以露出基座1110的上表面。料盒1200底部还可以设置固定装置1250。固定装置1250可以是设置在料盒1200底部并向料盒1200内部凹陷的凹陷部。该凹陷部与设置在负载平台上的凸起部配合,以使得料盒1200与负载平台的相对位置稳定。
料盒侧壁可以设置液位开关1230。液位开关1230包括三棱镜结构和光电组件。
三棱镜结构的高度可以根据内部管道1211的底部的高度确定。例如,三棱镜结构的高度可以与内部管道1211的底部的高度一致。
光电组件包括光发射器和光接收器。空气与流体对光发射器发出的光信号的折射率不同。在料盒1200中的流体的量较多,覆盖三棱镜结构的情况下,光发射器发出的光信号不能传输至光接收器。在料盒1200中的流体的量较少,未覆盖三棱镜结构的情况下,光发射器发出的光信号传输至光接收器。
光接收器可以在接收到光发射器发出的光信号的情况下,向料盒检测装置发送光信号接收信息。料盒检测装置在接收到光接收器发送的光信号接收信息的情况下,可以确定料盒1200缺料。
料盒检测装置在确定料盒1200缺料的情况下,可以发送提醒信息,以提醒用户补充调料。示例性地,料盒检测装置可以向烹饪设备主体机发送缺料指示信息,以指示主体机中设置的异常指示灯闪烁,或指示主体机中设置的控制蜂鸣器发出蜂鸣,或指示主体机中设置的扬声器进行语音播报等方式,以提醒用户补充调料。
料盒的盒体内侧上设置三棱镜的结构,增加料盒的制造难度,且影响料盒的美观。
随着生活水平的提高,为了追求菜肴口感,所需添加的调料种类越来越多。为每个料 盒设置传感器进行检测,加料装置中需要使用较多的电子元器件,使得加料装置的成本较高。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种用于烹饪设备的加料装置、用料量检测方法和装置。下面结合图3至图6,对本申请实施例提供用料量检测方法进行说明。

料盒1530的内部设置有内部管道(未示出),料盒1530的外侧设置有外部管道1511。内部管道的底部可以与料盒1530的底部接触或不接触。料盒1530侧壁靠近顶部的位置可以设置有突出部1540。内部管道的顶部穿过突出部1540的底部与外部管道1511的顶部连接。
加料装置1400还可以包括用料量检测单元。用料量检测单元可以执行图3所示的方法。
所述称重传感器1320用于检测所述多个料盒1310的总重量;所述用料量检测单元 1330用于获取出料指示信息,根据所述出料指示信息、以及称重传感器1330的检测结果,计算目标料盒当前的实际出料量;所述目标料盒是所述出料指示信息指示的在所述多个料盒中当前出料的料盒。
获取出料指示信息的方式,可以是生成出料指示信息,或者,可以是接收其他装置发送的出料指示信息。
例如,烹饪设备中用于控制加料装置出料的控制单元可以发送出料指示信息。控制单元发送的出料指示信息可以用于控制目标料盒出料,或者,可以用于指示用料量检测单元1330控制目标料盒出料。
或者,加料装置可以包括多个输送装置。不同的料盒1310可以对应于不同的输送装置。每个输送装置用于输出该输送装置对应的料盒中的物料。每个输料装置可以用于在输出其对应的料盒中物料的情况下,向用料量检测单元1330发送出料指示信息。从而,发送该出料指示信息的输送装置对应的料盒即为目标料盒。输送装置可以在输出其对应的料盒中物料的情况下,周期性或非周期性发送出料指示信息。输出装置还可以在停止输出其对应的料盒中物料的情况下,向用料量检测单元1330发送出料停止信息。
或者,加料装置可以包括出料检测单元,出料检测单元用于对多个料盒1910的出料情况进行检测,以确定多个料盒1910中当前的出料的目标料盒。出料检测单元可以用于在确定多个料盒1910中至少一个料盒出料的情况下,向用料量检测单元1330发送出料指示信息。出料检测单元可以周期性或非周期性发送出料指示信息。出料检测单元还可以在检测到目标料盒停止出料的情况下,向用料量检测单元1330发送出料停止信息。
图3所示的加料装置还可以包括负载平台。负载平台用于承载的所述多个料盒1310,所述称重传感器1320位于所述负载平台下方。所述称重传感器1320用于检测所述多个料盒的总重量,具体是检测所述负载平台承载的物体重量。
通过设置负载平台,多个料盒可以放置在负载平台上。负载平台的设置,使得对多个料盒总重量的检测更为简便,并且可以使得多个料盒的放置更加平稳。
确定目标料盒的实际出料量的方式,可以是先根据所述称重传感器1320对多个料盒1310的实时检测结果,分别获得当前所述多个料盒1310的第一重量,以及经过目标时间长度所述多个料盒1310的第二重量;然后,计算所述第一重量与所述第二重量的差值,以得到经过目标时间长度的所述实际出料量。
从当前到经过目标时间长度之后的时间点,即称重传感器1320检测得到第一重量与第二重量之间的时间段内,目标料盒持续出料。
计算称重传感器1320在目标时间长度起始点和终止点检测的多个料盒1310的重量之间的差值,即该多个料盒1310的重量变化量。根据出料指示信息,该多个料盒1310中目标料盒正在出料。因此,该多个料盒1310的重量减少量即为目标料盒的重量变化,可以 作为目标料盒当前的实际出料量。从而,为多个料盒1310设置一个称重传感器1320,就能够实现对其中某个料盒出料量的检测,无需设置多个传感器,减小传感器数量,降低成本。
称重传感器1320可以进行周期性或非周期性对多个料盒的重量进行检测。
用料量检测单元1330除了可以用于对多个料盒中目标料盒的用料量检测,还可以用于检测目标料盒中是否缺料。目标料盒缺料,即目标料盒中的物料量不能满足当前需求。
所述用料量检测单元1330在目标料盒当前的实际出料量较小,小于某一预设值的情况下,可以确定目标料盒缺料。
或者,所述用料量检测单元1330可以用于,根据所述目标料盒当前的实际出料量,以及所述目标料盒的出料量理论值,确定所述目标料盒中是否缺料。
用料量检测单元1330将目标料盒当前的实际出料量与目标料盒的出料量理论值进行比较,得到的对目标料盒中是否缺料的判断结果更为准确。
具体地,所述用料量检测单元1330可以用于,计算所述第一重量与所述第二重量的差值与所述目标时间长度的比值,以得到所述目标料盒的实际出料速度。之后,所述用料量检测单元1330可以用于,根据所述目标料盒当前的实际出料速度,以及所述目标料盒的出料速度理论值,确定所述目标料盒中是否缺料。
不同的料盒可以对应于不同的出料速度理论值。出料速度理论值可以是预设的,也可以是根据目标料盒的输送装置的流量参数确定的。
为确定出料速度理论值,可以获取目标料盒的输送装置的流量参数,根据所述流量参数以及所述目标料盒存储物料密度计算以重量计算的所述出料速度理论值。出料速度理论值可以表示为流量参数与目标料盒存储物料密度的乘积。由于不同料盒中存储物料的密度可能是不同的,即使多个料盒1310中的各个料盒对应于相同的流量参数,在不同的料盒作为目标料盒的情况下,出料速度理论值也可能存在差异。
用料量检测单元1330可以在所述出料速度理论值减去所述实际出料速度得到的差值大于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定所述目标料盒缺料。
加料装置还包括作为输送装置的蠕动泵,所述蠕动泵用于泵送所述目标料盒中的流体,所述流量参数是所述蠕动泵在单位时间内泵送所述目标料盒中流体的体积。
加料装置可以包括与料盒1310中各个料盒对应的多个蠕动泵。每个蠕动泵可以用于将对应料盒中的物料抽出。
在料盒存在物料的情况下,蠕动泵的流量参数的理论值与实际值几乎相等,即为蠕动泵设置的流量参数具有较高的准确度和稳定性。利用蠕动泵泵送目标料盒中的物料,可以提高对目标料盒中是否缺粮判断结果的准确度。

图6所示的方法包括S1601至S1602。
在S1601,获取出料指示信息,所述出料指示信息用于指示多个料盒中的目标料盒为当前出料的料盒。
具体地,获取出料指示信息可以是生成出料指示信息,或者,可以是接收其他装置发送的出料指示信息。
方法1600可以用于在烹饪设备中。烹饪设备可以包括烹饪容器和该多个料盒。
也就是说,料盒可以用于承载调料。
在一些实施例中,执行方法1600的装置可以在需要将目标料盒中的调料投入烹饪容器的情况下,生成出料指示信息。出料指示信息用于控制目标料盒出料。
在另一些实施例中,执行方法1600的装置可以接收烹饪设备的控制器发送的出料指示信息,所述目标料盒的出料用于投入烹饪设备的烹饪容器。控制器发送的出料指示信息可以用于控制目标料盒出料。或者,控制器发送的出料指示信息可以用于指示执行方法1600的装置控制目标料盒出料。
也就是说,出料指示信息可以用于指示目标料盒开始出料,即指示目标料盒启动出料过程。
在又一些实施例中,执行方法1600的装置可以接收输送装置或出料检测单元发送的出料指示信息
不同的料盒可以对应于不同的输送装置。每个输送装置用于输出该输送装置对应的料盒中的物料。每个输料装置可以用于在输出其对应的料盒中物料的情况下,向执行方法1600的装置发送出料指示信息。从而,发送该出料指示信息的输送装置对应的料盒即为目标料盒。输送装置可以在输出其对应的料盒中物料的情况下,周期性或非周期性发送出料指示信息。
出料检测单元用于对该多个料盒的出料情况进行检测,以确定多个料盒1910中当前的出料的目标料盒。出料检测单元可以用于在确定该多个料盒中至少一个料盒出料的情况 下,向执行方法1600的装置发送出料指示信息,以指示正在出料的至少一个料盒。该至少一个料盒即为目标料盒。出料检测单元可以周期性或非周期性发送出料指示信息。
执行方法1600的装置可以在第一次接收出料指示信息时,确定目标料盒启动出料过程。
在S1602,根据用于检测所述多个料盒的总重量的称重传感器的检测结果,以及所述出料指示信息,计算所述目标料盒当前的实际出料量。
具体地,可以根据出料指示信息确定目标料盒启动出料的时间点,即目标料盒开始出料的时间点。在出料指示信息启动出料的时间点之后,目标料盒出料。
该多个料盒可以放置在负载平台上,所述称重传感器位于负载平台下方,所述负载平台用于承载的所述多个料盒,所述称重传感器用于检测所述多个料盒的总重量,具体是检测所述负载平台承载的物体重量。
通过设置负载平台,多个料盒可以放置在负载平台上。负载平台的设置,使得对多个料盒总重量的检测更为简便,并且可以使得多个料盒的放置更加平稳。
目标料盒当前的实际出料量,可以指当前时刻之前或之后较短时间内目标料盒的出料量。
称重传感器用于检测多个料盒的总重量。可以根据所述称重传感器的实时检测结果,分别获得在当前该多个料盒的第一重量,以及目标时间长度后所述多个料盒的第二重量。
也就是说,称重传感器可以在当前进行检测以得到第一重量,在经过目标时间长度的时间点进行检测以得到第二重量。
从而,可以计算所述第一重量与第二重量的差值,并根据出料指示信息,确定该差值为目标料盒当前的实际出料量。
计算称重传感器在目标时间长度起始点和终止点检测的多个料盒的重量之间的差值,即该多个料盒的重量变化量。根据出料指示信息,该多个料盒中目标料盒正在出料。因此,该多个料盒的重量减少量即为目标料盒的重量变化,可以作为目标料盒当前的实际出料量。从而,为多个料盒设置一个称重传感器,就能够实现对单个料盒出料量的检测,无需设置多个传感器,减小传感器数量,降低成本。
称重传感器可以进行周期性或非周期性对多个料盒的重量进行检测。
目标时间长度可以是目标料盒开始出料的时间点与最近一次称重传感器进行检测时间点之间的时间长度。
或者,目标时间长度可以是称重传感器相邻两侧检测之间的时间长度。
在目标时间长度为称重传感器相邻两侧检测之间的时间长度的情况下,目标时间长度可以是随机的,也可以是预设的。例如,称重传感器可以进行周期性检测,目标时间长度可以是检测周期的长度。
在一些实施例中,可以在目标料盒开始出料后,将预设时长作为目标时间长度,周期性进行S1602。在S1601之后,还可以获取出料停止信息,出料停止信息用于指示目标料盒停止出料。称重传感器可以在目标料盒停止出料的时间点进行检测。目标料盒停止出料的时间点与目标料盒出料过程中称重传感器按照预设时长最后一次进行检测的时间点之间的时长可以作为最后一次进行S1602的目标时间长度。从而,在目标料盒出料过程中,可以持续对目标料盒的出料量进行监测。
出料停止信息可以是执行方法1600的装置生成的,或者,出料停止信息可以是执行方法1600的装置接收其他装置发送的。
在另一些实施例中,出料指示信息可以指示目标料盒出料的时长。目标时间长度可以小于或等于目标料盒出料的时长。
例如,目标料盒出料的时长可以是目标时间长度的整数倍。从而,在目标料盒开始出料后,可以按照目标时间长度周期性进行S1602。从而,在目标料盒出料过程中,可以持续对目标料盒的出料量进行监测。
或者,在目标料盒开始出料后,可以将预设时长作为目标时间长度周期性进行多次S1602。按照预设时长周期性进行S1602的次数可以是对目标料盒出料的时长除以预设时长的商进行下取证得到的。在按照预设时长周期性多次进行S1602之后,可以将目标料盒出料的时长除以预设时长的余数作为目标时间长度再进行一次S1602。从而,在目标料盒出料过程中,持续对目标料盒的出料量进行监测。
在每次进行S1602之后,可以根据所述目标料盒当前的实际出料量,确定所述目标料盒中是否缺料。在某次进行S1602之后,确定目标料盒当前的实际出料量较小,小于某一预设值的情况下,可以确定目标料盒缺料。也就是说,在目标料盒应当进行出料的情况下,多个料盒的总重量几乎不变,即目标料盒的实际出料量非常小,这种情况下,可以确定目标料盒中缺料。
在每次进行S1602之后,可以根据所述目标料盒的实际出料量,以及所述目标料盒的出料量理论值,确定所述目标料盒中是否缺料。
目标料盒的出料量理论值可以是根据目标料盒的出料速度理论值确定的。目标料盒的出料量理论值为目标料盒出料的出料速度理论值与目标时间长度的乘积。
在目标料盒的出料量理论值减去目标料盒的实际出料量的差值大于或等于预设值的情况下,可以确定目标料盒缺料。
或者,也可以根据目标料盒的实际出料量计算目标料盒的实际出料速度,根据目标料盒的实际出料速度确定目标料盒是否缺料。
具体地,可以计算第一重量与第二重量之间的差值与所述目标时间长度的比值,以得到目标料盒的实际出料速度。从而,可以根据目标料盒的实际出料速度,确定目标料盒是 否缺料。
可以根据目标料盒的出料速度理论值与目标料盒的实际出料速度,确定所述目标料盒缺料。
或者,在目标料盒的实际出料速度为10或小于预设值的情况下,可以确定目标料盒缺料。
目标料盒的数量为一个或多个。如果所有目标料盒均缺料,则目标料盒的实际出料速度几乎为10。在目标料盒的数量为多个的情况下,在其中部分或全部料盒缺料的情况下,该多个目标料盒的实际出料速度小于目标料盒的出料速度理论值。因此,通过根据出料速度理论值与目标料盒的实际出料速度,可以在目标料盒的数量为多个的情况下对其中的部分或全部料盒是否缺料进行准确判断。
与根据目标料盒的实际出料量确定目标料盒是否缺料的方式相比,根据目标料盒的实际出料速度对目标料盒是否缺料进行判断,判断结构不受称目标时间长度的影响,使得判断结果更为准确。
将称重传感器相邻两侧检测之间的时间长度作为目标时间长度,对目标料盒是否缺料进行判断,使得判断结果更加及时和准确。从而,执行方法1700能够对目标料盒缺料的情况及时进行响应和处理。
具体地,在目标料盒的出料速度理论值减去目标料盒的实际出料速度得到的差值大于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定所述目标料盒缺料。
目标料盒的出料速度理论值可以理解为目标料盒的输送装置单位时间内输送的物料重量。出料速度理论值可以是预设的,也可以根据流量参数确定。流量参数可以是单位时间流量,用于表示输送装置在单位时间内输送的流体体积。
可以获取目标料盒的输送装置的流量参数。从而,可以根据所述流量参数以及所述目标料盒存储物料密度,计算以重量计算的所述出料速度理论值。
流量参数和目标料盒中物料密度,可以是预设的。
蠕动泵在单位时间内实际的流体抽取体积具有较高精度和稳定性。也就是说,在利用蠕动泵泵送目标料盒中的流体的情况下,预设的流量参数与蠕动泵实际在单位时间泵送的物料体积具有较高的准确度。因此,利用蠕动泵泵送目标料盒中的物料的情况下目标料盒的实际出料速度与目标料盒的出料速度理论基本相同。从而使得对于目标料盒是否缺料的判断结果更为准确。
在利用蠕动泵泵送目标料盒中的物料的情况下,流量参数是作为输送装置的蠕动泵在单位时间内泵送送目标料盒中流体的体积。
在确定目标料盒缺料的情况下,可以输出提醒信息,以提醒用户在料盒中加料。
对于烹饪设备,执行方法1600的装置可以通过控制异常指示灯闪烁、语音播报、蜂 鸣器发声等方式输出提醒信息,对用户进行提醒。或者,执行方法1600的装置可以向其他控制装置发送提醒信息,以使得该其他控制装置控制异常指示灯闪烁、语音播报、蜂鸣器发声等方式提醒用户。
通过S1602至S1602,设置称重传感器对多个料盒的总重量进行检测,根据称重传感器检测的检测结果,以及出料指示信息指示的正在出料的目标料盒,确定目标料盒的实际出料量。从而,无需为每个料盒设置传感器,利用较少的传感器即可实现对各个料盒出料量的检测,降低了成本。
图7是本申请实施例提供的一种缺料检测方法的示意性流程图。图7所示的方法1700可以利用图4和图5所示的加料装置1400的基座1410内设置的出料量检测装置执行。图5是图4所示的加料装置1400的侧视图。
图7所述的方法1700包括S1701至S1305。
在S1701,接收主体机中控制器发送的出料指示信息,出料指示信息用于指示目标料盒出料。
加料装置1400中的多个料盒1431至143n包括目标料盒。目标料盒可以是多个料盒1431至143n中的任一个。
对每一道菜肴而言,烹饪设备主体机中的程序会设定其所需要用到的各种调料及各种调料投入主体机的烹饪容器的先后顺序,以使得所需的各种调料依次投入烹饪容器。当烹饪某种菜肴时,根据菜肴程序设定,在需要投入目标料盒中的调料时,主体机中的控制器向加料装置1400发送出料指示信息。
在一些实施例中,出料指示信息可以用于控制目标料盒对应的蠕动泵将目标料盒中的调料抽出。
在另一些实施例中,加料装置1400还可以包括出料控制单元。出料指示信息可以用于指示出料控制单元控制目标料盒对应的蠕动泵将目标料盒中的调料抽出。
从目标料盒抽出的调料可以通过输料管道输送至主体机的烹饪容器。
加料装置1400中的出料量检测装置可以接收主体机中控制器发送的出料指示信息,并进行S1702。
在S1702,根据出料指示信息和称重传感器1424的检测结果,计算目标料盒的实际出料量。
称重传感器1424用于检测多个料盒1431至143n的总重量。在多个料盒1431至143n中,仅有目标料盒在出料的情况下,多个料盒1431至143n的总重量的减少量,即为目标料盒的实际出料量。
在S1703,根据目标料盒的实际出料速度与预测出料速度,确定目标料盒是否无料。
蠕动泵对流体抽取的速度具有较高准确度和稳定性。也就是说,在目标料盒中调料的 量处于正常状态时,目标料盒的实际出料速度基本等于蠕动泵泵送目标料盒中流体的泵出流量与物料密度的乘积;后者称为出料速度理论值。蠕动泵泵送目标料盒中流体的出料速度理论值也可以理解为预测出料速度或基准流量。
称重传感器1424可以每经过一个检测周期,或者称为目标时间段,对多个料盒1431至143n的总重量进行一次周期性检测。
根据称重传感器1424相邻两次的检测结果,计算在该两次检测对应的检测周期内多个料盒1431至143n的总重量的减少量,该减少量即为目标料盒在该检测周期的实际出料量。根据所述目标料盒当前的实际出料量,可以检测当前出料运行情况是否正常,并且,结合所述目标料盒的出料量理论值,可以确定所述目标料盒中是否缺料。
在上述以一定检测周期获取重量检测结果的情况下,为了及时获得目标料盒是否缺料的检测结果,可以根据目标时间段的起始点和结束点检测的重量值,转换为的出料速度,作为确定所述目标料盒中是否缺料的判断依据。
具体的,可以计算目标料品在该检测周期的实际出料量与检测周期的时长的比值,以得到目标料盒的实际出料速度。实际出料速度也可以理解为实际流量。
例如,检测周期的长度可以为13秒(s)。多个料盒1431至143n在某个检测周期开始时的总重量减去该某个检测周期结束时的总重量,得到的差值除以检测周期的长度13s,可以计算得到目标料盒在该检测周期的实际出料速度。
在某个检测周期内,如果实际出料速度减去理论出料速度得到的差值大于或等于预设阈值,则确定目标料盒缺料。
在S1704,在目标料盒缺料的情况下,控制目标料盒停止出料,并输出提醒信息。
控制目标料盒停止出料,即控制目标料盒对应的蠕动泵停止泵送目标料盒中的流体。
提醒信息用于提醒用户目标料盒缺料。用户可以根据提醒信息,在目标料盒中添加调料。
将方法1700应用在图4和图5所示的加料装置中,为多个料盒设置一个称重传感器,即可在该多个料盒中某个料盒出料的情况下,根据该多个料盒总重量的实际变化量,监控该某个料盒的实际调料用量。并且,根据该实际变化量与预测出料量之间的差异,确定该某个料盒是否缺料。
从而,无需再料盒中设置三棱镜等结构,简化了料盒结构,使得料盒以及加料装置更加美观。设置一个称重传感器实现对多个料盒中任意料盒出料量的检测及是否缺料的判断,使得加料装置中使用的电子元器件数量减少,降低整机成本。

该加料控制方法可以应用于炒菜机、料理机、烹饪机等具有烹调功能的烹饪设备中,用于在烹饪设备烹饪目标菜肴的过程中,控制加料装置向烹饪设备的烹饪容器添加烹饪所需调料。
本申请实施例的烹饪设备可以用于蒸、炸、炖、煮各种食材,烹饪得到不同种类的菜肴。
请参阅图10,图10是本申请实施例中提供的加料装置的一个结构示意图,该加料装置可以包括至少一个料盒2101以及与各料盒2101对应的排料管2102,各排料管2102对应连接有驱动单元2103,各驱动单元2103可以用于驱动对应的料盒2101内的调料通过对应的排料管2102排出至烹饪容器(图中未示出),各驱动单元2103可以分别配置有圈数检测器件2104,各圈数检测器件2104可以用于检测对应的驱动单元2103在驱动对应的料盒2101内的调料通过对应的排料管2102排出的过程中的运转圈数,各料盒2101还分别连通有对应的补料设备2108,各补料设备2108内存储有与对应的料盒2101内的调料种类相同的调料。
具体的,该加料装置可以包括一基座2100,各料盒2101均可以设置于该基座2100上,各排料管2102分别与对应的料盒2101连通,用于传输对应料盒2101内的调料。
可以理解的,料盒2101可以是用于存储或容纳烹饪调料的容器,每一个料盒2101均可以配置有容器入口和容器出口,所储存的调料可以由容器入口流通至料盒2101的内腔即容纳腔中;当烹饪设备工作,加料装置需向烹饪设备的烹饪容器提供相应调料时,容纳在料盒2101的内腔中的调料可以由容器出口流出。
值得注意的是,在一些应用场景中,料盒2101的容器入口和容器出口可以为同一个端口,此时,调料既可以从该端口流通至料盒2101的内腔中,又可以从该端口流出,料盒2101的端口设定可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
料盒2101内存储的调料可以是水、油、酱油、醋等液态调料,还可以是盐、糖、鸡精等固体调料溶于水后得到的调料溶液,由于烹饪一道菜肴所需的调料通常不止一种,因此,本申请实施例中的料盒2101可以有不止一个,虽然图10中示出了一个料盒2101,但是,在实际应用中,料盒2101的具体数量可以根据实际应用情况进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
本申请实施例中,各排料管2102一端可以分别与对应的料盒2101的容器出口连通,另一端可以连接有出料管2107,以通过出料管2107与烹饪容器连接,由料盒2101排出的调料 可以经由排料管2102以及出料管2107流通至烹饪容器。
如图10所示,各排料管2102可以分别连接有对应的驱动单元2103,以通过驱动单元2103驱动调料在管道内流通。
可以理解的,各驱动单元2103能够在管路中产生负压,从而将调料吸入到排料管2102中,并沿着排料管2102输送调料,因此,驱动单元2103可以是现有的任一种驱动泵结构,例如蠕动泵、叶轮式泵等,具体此处不做限定。
本申请实施例中,各驱动单元2103还可以分别配置有圈数检测器件2104,各圈数检测器件2104可以用于检测对应的驱动单元2103在驱动对应的料盒2101内的调料通过对应的排料管2102排出的过程中的运转圈数。
可以理解的,圈数检测器件2104可以在驱动单元例如蠕动泵运转时,检测蠕动泵电机的旋转圈数,因此,圈数检测器件2104可以是现有的任一种能够测量角位移的编码器,例如码盘、光栅盘等,具体此处不做限定
为了减小加料装置的体积,基座2100的内腔可以用于容纳加料装置的部分器件,如图10所示,驱动单元2103、圈数检测器件2104以及部分的排料管2102均可以设置于基座2100的内腔中。
如图10所示,各料盒2101还可以分别连通有对应的补料设备2108,各补料设备2108内可以存储有与对应的料盒2101内的调料种类相同的调料,料盒2101与补料设备2108之间可以通过补料管道2109连通。
如图10所示,加料装置还可以包括称重组件2106,称重组件2106可以用于称量各料盒的总重量,该称重组件2106可以设置于加料装置的基座2100上,各料盒2101可以设置于一负载平台2105上,该称重组件2106可以包括称重传感器,称重传感器设置于负载平台2105下方,用于对负载平台2105以及负载平台2105上的各料盒2101的总重量进行称量。
可以理解的,负载平台2105上可以设置有多个容纳槽(未示出),各容纳槽可以对应放置料盒2101,容纳槽可以对料盒2101进行限位,以避免在移动加料装置时负载平台2105上的料盒2101之间发生碰撞或掉落的情况。
本申请实施例中,排料管2102可以是一体式结构的管路,也可以是由管接头和多段管路连接而成的分体式结构的管路。
在一种具体实现中,驱动单元2103采用蠕动泵,排料管2102采用韧性软管,蠕动泵通过挤压韧性软管来推送韧性软管中的液体流动,如此,可以避免蠕动泵直接与韧性软管中的液体接触,保证液体不被污染。
为了降低排料管2102对称重传感器的称量结果的影响,在一些实施例中,排料管2102可以采用由管接头和多段管路连接而成的分体式结构的管路,其中,多段管路可以采用韧性软管,同时,在对管路的走向进行排布时,可以避免管路与负载平台2105或料盒2101之间的摩擦,从而避免摩擦力对称重传感器的称量结果的影响。
基于上述的加料装置,本申请的加料控制方法包括:
确定待补充调料的目标料盒、针对于目标料盒内的目标调料的目标需求量以及待添加的目标调料的目标加料量;目标加料量未大于目标需求量;若目标需求量未小于预设的基准加料量,则根据目标加料量确定与目标料盒的目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元的总运转圈数;控制目标料盒对应的目标补料设备向目标料盒补充目标调料;控制目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内补充的目标调料通过目标排料管排出,获取目标驱动单元对应的目标圈数检测器件在目标驱动单元将目标料盒内补充的目标调料排出的过程中的当前运转圈数;根据当前运转圈数和总运转圈数,控制目标驱动单元的运转。
请参阅图11,图11是本申请实施例中提供的加料控制方法的一个流程示意图。需要说明的是,虽然在流程示意图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
本申请实施例中,该加料控制方法可以用于控制加料装置向烹饪设备的烹饪容器添加调料,该加料控制方法可以包括以下多个步骤。
步骤S2201、确定待补充调料的目标料盒、针对于目标料盒内的目标调料的目标需求量以及待添加的目标调料的目标加料量;目标加料量未大于目标需求量。
现有的加料装置是基于料盒的重量变化来确定向烹饪容器添加的调料量的,若在烹饪的过程中,料盒内的调料较少时,需要对料盒进行补料,由于料盒补料后重量发生变化,因此,在补料前需要记录已经向烹饪容器添加的调料量,然后再开始补料,并且补料的过程中,需暂停向烹饪容器添加调料,待调料添加结束后,再启动驱动单元将添加后的调料添加至烹饪容器,如此一来,针对于需求量较大的调料来说,则需要频繁中断向烹饪容器添加调料的进程。
因此,本申请实施例中,待补充调料的目标料盒可以是缺料的料盒,具体的,加料装置还可以包括与各料盒对应的液位检测单元,加料控制装置可以分别与各液位检测单元通信连接,各液位检测单元可以用于检测对应料盒内的调料液位。
在本申请一些实施例中,确定待补充调料的目标料盒,可以进一步包括:
获取各液位检测单元检测对应的料盒内的调料液位的液位检测信号;针对每个液位检 测单元,若该液位检测单元的液位检测信号表征对应的料盒内的调料液位低于预设的缺料液位,则将该液位检测单元对应的料盒确定为待补充调料的目标料盒。
本申请实施例中,液位检测单元可以是现有的任一种液位计、液位探测仪、液位检测传感器或可以用于检测液体液位的其他器件或结构,具体此处不做限定。
对于每一个料盒,可以预先为其配置一缺料液位,该缺料液位可以用于指示对应的料盒内的调料是否低于最小调料量,例如,缺料液位可以位于靠近料盒底部的部分,若调料液位低于该缺料液位,则可以确定料盒内的调料液位较低,存储的调料较少,需向其补充调料,因此,可以将该料盒确定为目标料盒;而若调料液位未低于该缺料液位,则可以确定料盒内的调料液位不低,料盒内存储的调料足够用于本次烹饪,因此,可以不将该料盒确定为目标料盒。
可以理解,该缺料液位还可以与料盒的内腔底部持平,在此场景下,通过液位检测单元可以检测料盒内是否有调料存在,只有在料盒内不存在调料时,才将该料盒确定为目标料盒。
本申请实施例中,各料盒对应的缺料液位可以相同,也可以不同,并且每一缺料液位的高度或位置可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,在此不再过多赘述。
当烹饪设备烹饪前或烹饪过程中,加料控制装置可以获取各液位检测单元对应的料盒内的调料液位进行检测的液位检测信号,对于每一个液位检测单元,如果其输出的液位检测信号表征对应的料盒内的调料液位低于缺料液位,则可以认为该料盒内的调料液位较低,进而可以将该料盒确定为目标料盒;反之,如果液位检测信号表征对应的料盒内的调料液位未低于缺料液位,则可以认为该料盒内的调料液位不低,不将该料盒确定为目标料盒,即不需要对该料盒进行调料补充。
在一种具体实现中,当料盒内的调料液位低于缺料液位时,液位检测单元输出高电平的液位检测信号,而当料盒内的调料液位未低于该缺料液位时,液位检测单元输出低电平的液位检测信号,因此,若加料控制装置获取到的液位检测信号为高电平信号,则可以确认料盒内的调料液位低于缺料液位,若加料控制装置获取到的液位检测信号为低电平信号,则可以确认料盒内的调料液位未低于缺料液位,从而根据液位检测信号便可以确定目标料盒。
在其他的应用场景中,低电平的液位检测信号也可以用于表征料盒内的调料液位低于缺料液位,此时,高电平的液位检测信号则用于表征料盒内的调料液位未低于缺料液位,在此不再过多赘述。
可以理解的,针对于目标料盒内的目标调料的目标需求量也就是本次烹饪所需向烹饪容器添加的目标调料的总重量,在一些实施例中,确定针对于目标料盒内的目标调料的目标需求量,可以进一步包括:
获取目标菜谱;根据目标菜谱确定目标料盒的目标调料的目标需求量。
可以理解的,烹饪设备中可以预先存储有烹饪各类菜肴的烹饪菜谱,每一菜谱可以对应一道菜肴,各菜谱中可以记录烹饪对应菜肴所需的主料、辅料、调料以及烹饪步骤等,针对于调料来说,菜谱中可以记录所需的调料的种类以及各调料对应的需求量等。
在烹饪开始前,用户可以根据本次所要烹饪的目标菜肴,为烹饪设备选择对应的菜谱,在选中菜谱后,加料控制装置可以读取该菜谱,获取其中记录的调料的种类、需求量以及烹饪步骤等信息。
在一种实现方式中,烹饪设备可以配置有交互界面,该交互界面上可以显示烹饪设备所存储的各种菜谱,用户可以通过在该交互界面上对菜谱进行选择来确定本次所要烹饪的目标菜肴。
在另一种实现方式中,烹饪设备还可以通信连接有终端设备,该终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等现有的智能终端,终端设备与烹饪设备之间可以通过任何通信方式实现网络通信,包括但不限于,基于第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)、全球互通微波访问(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)的移动通信,基于TCP/IP协议族(TCP/IP Protocol Suite,TCP/IP)、用户数据报协议(User Datagram Protocol,UDP)的计算机网络通信,或基于蓝牙(Bluetooth)、行动热点(Wi-Fi)、紫峰(Zigbee)的无线网络通信等。
用户可以通过在终端设备所配置的相应程序中对菜谱进行选择,然后终端设备通过向烹饪设备发送通信信号,以将用户所选择的菜谱信息发送至烹饪设备,使得烹饪设备获取到本次烹饪的菜谱。
本申请实施例中,加料控制装置也可以通过上述的任一种通信方法与烹饪设备通信连接,当烹饪设备获取到本次烹饪的目标菜谱后,烹饪设备可以将该目标菜谱的信息发送至加料控制装置,以使加料控制装置获取到待烹饪的目标菜谱,然后读取该目标菜谱,根据目标菜谱确定目标料盒内所存储的目标调料的目标需求量。
可以理解的,料盒中存储的调料以及料盒在托盘上的位置可以是一一对应的,例如托盘上排列有八个料盒,各料盒中容纳的调料的种类可以是预先设定好的,即容纳有调料的料盒的位置是根据其中容纳的调料的种类确定的。
举例来说,调料的摆放顺序为净水、油、老抽、生抽、盐水、辣油、糖水、香醋,则八个料盒中的第一个料盒用于存储净水,第二个料盒用于存储油,第三个料盒用于存储老抽,以此类推,第八个料盒用于存储香醋,如此,在需要向锅体添加相应调料时,存储该调料的料盒所对应的排料管可以将调料排出至锅体。
若用户对调料的摆放顺序即料盒的摆放位置进行调整,则可以相应对烹饪设备所存储的顺序进行修改,确保实际摆放顺序与所存储的顺序保持一致,避免出现调料误投放的情况。
在另一些实施例中,确定针对于目标料盒内的目标调料的目标需求量,可以进一步包括:
解析获取的加料指令;根据加料指令确定目标料盒的目标调料的目标需求量。
可以理解的,该加料指令可以是用户发送至烹饪设备的指令,用户可以在交互屏幕或者终端设备上设定本次烹饪所需添加的目标调料的目标需求量,从而将携带该目标需求量的加料指令发送至烹饪设备,烹饪设备在获取到该加料指令后,可以将该加料指令发送至加料控制装置,从而加料控制装置可以对该加料指令进行解析,提取其中所携带的目标调料对应的目标需求量。
本申请实施例中,待添加的目标调料的目标加料量可以与目标调料的目标需求量相等,也可以小于目标调料的目标需求量。
具体的,在开始向烹饪容器添加目标调料之前,目标调料的目标加料量应该是与目标调料的目标需求量相等的,例如在开始烹饪之前,检测到目标料盒缺料,则此时目标调料的目标加料量与目标需求量相等;而若是在向烹饪容器添加目标调料时,检测到目标料盒缺料,则此时由于已经向烹饪容器添加了目标调料,因此,待添加的目标调料的目标加料量小于目标调料的目标需求量。
在本申请一些实施例中,确定待添加的目标调料的目标加料量,可以进一步包括:
获取称重组件称量的初始重量值;控制目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出;获取称重组件称量的目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前重量值;根据目标需求量与重量差值,确定待添加的目标调料的目标加料量;重量差值为初始重量值与当前重量值之差。
可以理解的,称重组件称量的初始重量值是开始向烹饪容器添加目标调料之前的料盒的总重量值,在获取到初始重量值后,便可以控制目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料经由目标排料管排出至烹饪容器,并且在排出目标调料的过程中,可以实时获取称重组 件称量的当前重量值。
在目标排料管排料过程中,实时获取称重组件的当前重量值,可以是根据预设的频率访问称重组件,或者称重组件根据预设的频率向加料控制装置发送当前重量值。
随着目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料沿着目标排料管排出,目标料盒内存储的目标调料逐渐减少,从而,称重单元称量的重量值逐渐减小,且减小的重量即为排入至烹饪容器的目标调料的重量。
因此,初始重量值减去每一次称量的当前重量值得到的重量差值则是排入至烹饪容器的目标调料的重量值,而本次烹饪所需添加的目标调料的总重量为目标需求量,因此,在目标需求量的基础上减去该重量差值便可以得到待添加的目标调料的目标加料量。
步骤S2202、若目标需求量未小于预设的基准加料量,则根据目标加料量确定与目标料盒的目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元的总运转圈数。
本申请实施例中,基准加料量可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,例如设定基准加料量为800g、1000g、1500g等,若步骤S2201中确定的目标调料的目标需求量大于该基准加料量,则可以确定本次烹饪对该目标调料的需求量较大,此时若是根据料盒的重量的变化来确定添加至烹饪容器的调料量,则会由于需频繁补料中断烹饪进程而影响烹饪效率。
因此,本申请实施例中,将待添加的目标调料的目标加料量转换为目标驱动单元输送该目标加料量的目标调料的总运转圈数,通过目标驱动单元的运转圈数来确定添加至烹饪容器的调料量,不受目标料盒补充目标调料时的重量变化的影响。
具体的,根据目标加料量确定与目标料盒的目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元的总运转圈数,可以进一步包括:
根据目标加料量得到目标调料的目标体积;根据目标体积以及目标驱动单元的单位排料体积,得到目标驱动单元的总运转圈数;单位排料体积为目标驱动单元转动一圈时所排出的目标调料对应的体积。
本申请实施例中,可以将目标加料量除以目标调料的密度,得到目标加料量对应的目标体积,由于单位排料体积即目标驱动单元转动一圈时所排出的目标调料对应的体积可以预先通过实验获取,因此,将该目标体积除以预先存储的单位排料体积,便可以得到目标驱动单元输送目标加料量的目标调料的总运转圈数。
步骤S2203、控制目标料盒对应的目标补料设备向目标料盒补充目标调料。
由于目标料盒是调料液位高度低于缺料液位的料盒,该目标料盒内存储的目标容量不足以烹饪目标菜肴,因此,可以控制目标补料设备通过补料管道向目标料盒补充目标调料。
步骤S2204、控制目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内补充的目标调料通过目标排料管排出,获取目标驱动单元对应的目标圈数检测器件在目标驱动单元将目标料盒内补充的目标调料排出的过程中的当前运转圈数。
由于本申请实施例中是基于目标驱动单元的运转圈数确定添加至烹饪容器的调料量,因此,步骤S2204可以与步骤S2203同步进行,可以理解,步骤S2204也可以在步骤S2203之后进行,具体可以根据实际情况进行确定。
本申请实施例中,在控制目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内补充的目标调料通过目标排料管排出至烹饪容器时,可以实时获取目标圈数检测器件检测的目标驱动单元当前运转圈数。
步骤S2205、根据当前运转圈数和总运转圈数,控制目标驱动单元的运转。
可以理解的,若当前运转圈数小于总运转圈数,则可以确定当前传输至烹饪容器的调料量还未达到目标加料量,因此,可以控制目标驱动单元继续驱动目标料盒内补充的目标调料通过目标排料管排出至烹饪容器;
而若当前运转圈数等于总运转圈数时,则可以确定当前传输至烹饪容器的调料量恰好达到目标加料量,此时,便可以关闭目标驱动单元,停止向烹饪容器添加目标调料。
本申请实施例中,在确定目标需求量大于或者等于基准加料量时,将待添加的目标调料的目标加料量转换为目标驱动单元的总运转圈数,在目标补料设备向目标料盒补充目标调料时,基于目标驱动单元的当前运转圈数和总运转圈数控制目标驱动单元运转,可以避免现有技术中频繁向料盒补充调料时,需中断烹饪进程的问题,确保了烹饪进程的推进,大大提高了烹饪效率。
在本申请一些实施例中,控制目标料盒对应的目标补料设备向目标料盒补充目标调料,之后,方法可以进一步包括:
获取目标料盒对应的目标液位检测单元检测目标料盒内的目标调料液位的目标液位检测信号;若目标液位检测信号表征目标料盒内的目标调料液位高于预设的满料液位,则控制目标料盒对应的目标补料设备停止向目标料盒补充目标调料
本申请实施例中,该液位检测单元同样可以是现有的任一种液位计、液位探测仪、液位检测传感器或可以用于检测液体液位的其他器件或结构,具体此处不做限定。
对于每一个料盒,可以预先为其配置一满料液位,该满料液位可以用于指示对应的料盒内的调料是否高于最大调料量,例如,满料液位可以位于靠近料盒顶部的部分,若调料液位未低于该满料液位,则可以确定料盒内的调料液位已达到上限,料盒内存储的调料足 够,可以控制目标补料设备停止向目标料盒补充目标调料;而若调料液位低于该满料液位,则可以确定料盒内的调料液位还未达到上限,可以控制目标补料设备继续向目标料盒补充目标调料。
可以理解,该满料液位还可以与料盒的内腔顶部持平,在此场景下,通过液位检测单元可以检测料盒是否满载,只有在料盒满载调料时,才控制补料设备停止向料盒补充调料。
本申请实施例中,各料盒对应的满料液位可以相同,也可以不同,并且每一满料液位的高度或位置可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,在此不再过多赘述。
在补料过程中,加料控制装置可以获取目标液位检测单元对对应的目标料盒内的目标调料液位进行检测的目标液位检测信号,如果目标液位检测信号表征目标料盒内的目标调料液位低于满料液位,则可以认为该目标料盒内的调料液位未达上限,可以控制目标补料设备继续向目标料盒补充目标调料;反之,如果液位检测信号表征目标料盒内的目标调料液位未低于满料液位,则可以认为目标料盒内的目标调料液位已达到上限,可以控制目标补料设备停止向目标料盒补充目标调料。
在一种具体实现中,当料盒内的调料液位低于满料液位时,液位检测单元输出高电平的液位检测信号,而当料盒内的调料液位未低于该满料液位时,液位检测单元输出低电平的液位检测信号,因此,若加料控制装置获取到的液位检测信号为高电平信号,则可以确认料盒内的调料液位低于满料液位,若加料控制装置获取到的液位检测信号为低电平信号,则可以确认料盒内的调料液位未低于满料液位,从而根据液位检测信号便可以确定目标料盒。
在其他的应用场景中,低电平的液位检测信号也可以用于表征料盒内的调料液位低于满料液位,此时,高电平的液位检测信号则用于表征料盒内的调料液位未低于满料液位,在此不再过多赘述。
为了更好实施本申请的加料控制方法,本申请还提供一种加料控制装置,该加料控制装置可以用于控制加料装置向烹饪设备的烹饪容器添加调料,如图12所示,图12是本申请实施例中提供的加料控制装置的一个功能模块示意图,该加料控制装置2300可以包括:
获取确定单元2301,用于确定待补充调料的目标料盒、针对于目标料盒内的目标调料的目标需求量以及待添加的目标调料的目标加料量;目标加料量未大于目标需求量;
若目标需求量未小于预设的基准加料量,则根据目标加料量确定与目标料盒的目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元的总运转圈数;
控制单元2302,用于控制目标料盒对应的目标补料设备向目标料盒补充目标调料;
控制目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内补充的目标调料通过目标排料管排出,获取目标驱动单元对应的目标圈数检测器件在目标驱动单元将目标料盒内补充的目标调料排出的过程中的当前运转圈数;
根据当前运转圈数和总运转圈数,控制目标驱动单元的运转。
在本申请一些实施例中,控制单元2302具体可以用于:

请参阅图15,图15是本申请实施例中提供的加料装置的一个结构示意图,该加料装置可以包括称重组件3106、至少一个料盒3101以及与各料盒3101对应的排料管3102,称重组件3106可以用于称量各料盒3101的总重量,各排料管3102可以用于传输对应的料盒3101内的调料,各排料管3102还可以分别配置有流量检测单元3104,各流量检测单元3104可以用于检测对应的排料管3102内传输的调料流量。
具体的,该加料装置可以包括一基座3100,各料盒3101均可以设置于该基座3100上,各排料管3102分别与对应的料盒3101连通,用于传输对应料盒3101内的调料。
可以理解的,料盒3101可以是用于存储或容纳烹饪调料的容器,每一个料盒3101均可以配置有容器入口和容器出口,所储存的调料可以由容器入口流通至料盒3101的内腔即容纳腔中;当烹饪设备工作,加料装置需向烹饪设备的烹饪容器提供相应调料时,容纳在料盒3101的内腔中的调料可以由容器出口流出。
值得注意的是,在一些应用场景中,料盒3101的容器入口和容器出口可以为同一个端口,此时,调料既可以从该端口流通至料盒3101的内腔中,又可以从该端口流出,料盒3101的端口设定可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
料盒3101内存储的调料可以是水、油、酱油、醋等液态调料,还可以是盐、糖、鸡精等固体调料溶于水后得到的调料溶液,由于烹饪一道菜肴所需的调料通常不止一种,因此,本申请实施例中的料盒3101可以有不止一个,虽然图15中示出了一个料盒3101,但是,在实际应用中,料盒3101的具体数量可以根据实际应用情况进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
本申请实施例中,各排料管3102一端可以分别与对应的料盒3101的容器出口连通,另一端可以连接有出料管3107,以通过出料管3107与烹饪容器连接,由料盒3101排出的调料可以经由排料管3102以及出料管3107流通至烹饪容器。
称重组件3106可以用于称量各料盒3101的总重量,该称重组件3106可以设置于加料装置的基座3100上,各料盒3101可以设置于一负载平台3105上,该称重组件3106可以包括称重传感器,称重传感器设置于负载平台3105下方,用于对负载平台3105以及负载平台3105上的各料盒3101的总重量进行称量。
可以理解的,负载平台3105上可以设置有多个容纳槽(未示出),各容纳槽可以对应放置料盒3101,容纳槽可以对料盒3101进行限位,以避免在移动加料装置时负载平台3105 上的料盒3101之间发生碰撞或掉落的情况。
本申请实施例中,排料管3102可以是一体式结构的管路,也可以是由管接头和多段管路连接而成的分体式结构的管路。
为了降低排料管3102对称重组件如称重传感器的称量结果的影响,在一些实施例中,排料管3102可以采用由管接头和多段管路连接而成的分体式结构的管路,其中,多段管路可以采用韧性软管,同时,在对管路的走向进行排布时,可以避免管路与负载平台3105或料盒3101之间的摩擦,从而避免摩擦力对称重传感器的称量结果的影响。
本申请实施例中,各排料管3102还可以分别配置有流量检测单元3104,各流量检测单元3104可以用于检测对应的排料管内传输的调料流量,具体的,流量检测单元3104可以是电磁流量计、超声波流量计、科氏力质量流量计等现有的任一种流量检测器件。
在本申请一些实施例中,各排料管3102还可以分别连接有对应的驱动单元3103,各驱动单元3103可以用于驱动对应的料盒3101内的调料通过对应的排料管3102排出。
可以理解的,各驱动单元3103能够在管路中产生负压,从而将调料吸入到排料管3102中,并沿着排料管3102输送调料,因此,驱动单元3103可以是现有的任一种驱动泵结构,例如蠕动泵、叶轮式泵等,具体此处不做限定。
在一种具体实现中,驱动单元3103采用蠕动泵,排料管3102采用韧性软管,蠕动泵通过挤压韧性软管来推送韧性软管中的调料流动,如此,可以避免蠕动泵直接与韧性软管中的调料接触,保证调料不被污染。
在本申请一些实施例中,流量检测单元3104可以包括圈数检测器件,各圈数检测器件可以用于检测对应的驱动单元3103在驱动对应的料盒3101内的调料通过对应的排料管3102排出的过程中的运转圈数。
可以理解的,圈数检测器件可以在驱动单元3103例如蠕动泵运转时,检测蠕动泵电机的旋转圈数,因此,圈数检测器件可以是现有的任一种能够测量角位移的编码器,例如码盘、光栅盘等,具体此处不做限定。
为了减小加料装置的体积,基座3100的内腔可以用于容纳加料装置的部分器件,如图15所示,驱动单元3103、流量检测单元3104以及部分的排料管3102均可以设置于基座3100的内腔中。
基于上述的加料装置,本申请的加料控制方法包括:
确定待添加的目标调料的目标料盒、目标调料的目标加料量以及目标加料量对应的目标调料流量;控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过与目标料盒对应的目标排料管排出;获取称 重组件称量的目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前重量值;若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于预设的变化阈值,则获取与目标排料管对应的目标流量检测单元检测的目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前调料流量;根据当前调料流量和目标调料流量,控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出。
请参阅图16,图16是本申请实施例中提供的加料控制方法的一个流程示意图。需要说明的是,虽然在流程示意图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
本申请实施例中,该加料控制方法可以用于控制加料装置向烹饪设备的烹饪容器添加调料,该加料控制方法可以包括以下多个步骤。
步骤S3201、确定待添加的目标调料的目标料盒、目标调料的目标加料量以及目标加料量对应的目标调料流量。
可以理解的,烹饪设备中可以预先存储有烹饪各类菜肴的烹饪菜谱,每一菜谱可以对应一道菜肴,各菜谱中可以记录烹饪对应菜肴所需的主料、辅料、调料以及烹饪步骤等,针对于调料来说,菜谱中可以记录所需的调料的种类以及各调料对应的加料量等。
在烹饪开始前,用户可以根据本次所要烹饪的目标菜肴,为烹饪设备选择对应的菜谱,在选中菜谱后,加料控制装置可以读取该菜谱,获取其中记录的调料的种类以及各调料对应的加料量等信息。
在一种实现方式中,烹饪设备可以配置有交互界面,该交互界面上可以显示烹饪设备所存储的各种菜谱,用户可以通过在该交互界面上对菜谱进行选择来确定本次所要烹饪的目标菜肴。
在另一种实现方式中,烹饪设备还可以通信连接有终端设备,该终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等现有的智能终端,终端设备与烹饪设备之间可以通过任何通信方式实现网络通信,包括但不限于,基于第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)、全球互通微波访问(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)的移动通信,基于TCP/IP协议族(TCP/IP Protocol Suite,TCP/IP)、用户数据报协议(User Datagram Protocol,UDP)的计算机网络通信,或基于蓝牙(Bluetooth)、行动热点(Wi-Fi)、紫峰(Zigbee)的无线网络通信等。
用户可以通过在终端设备所配置的相应程序中对菜谱进行选择,然后终端设备通过向烹饪设备发送通信信号,以将用户所选择的菜谱信息发送至烹饪设备,使得烹饪设备获取 到本次烹饪的菜谱。
本申请实施例中,加料控制装置也可以通过上述的任一种通信方法与烹饪设备通信连接,当烹饪设备获取到本次烹饪的目标菜谱后,烹饪设备可以将该目标菜谱的信息发送至加料控制装置,以使加料控制装置获取待烹饪的目标菜谱,然后读取该目标菜谱,根据目标菜谱确定待添加的目标调料以及该目标调料对应的目标加料量。
可以理解的,料盒中存储的调料以及料盒在托盘上的位置可以是一一对应的,例如托盘上排列有八个料盒,各料盒中容纳的调料的种类可以是预先设定好的,即容纳有调料的料盒的位置是根据其中容纳的调料的种类确定的。
举例来说,调料的摆放顺序为净水、油、老抽、生抽、盐水、辣油、糖水、香醋,则八个料盒中的第一个料盒用于存储净水,第二个料盒用于存储油,第三个料盒用于存储老抽,以此类推,第八个料盒用于存储香醋,如此,在需要向锅体添加相应调料时,存储该调料的料盒所对应的排料管可以将调料排出至锅体。
若用户对调料的摆放顺序即料盒的摆放位置进行调整,则可以相应对烹饪设备所存储的顺序进行修改,确保实际摆放顺序与所存储的顺序保持一致,避免出现调料误投放的情况。
因此,本申请实施例中,调料、料盒以及排料管之间相互对应关联,在根据目标菜谱获取到目标调料后,便可以根据该目标调料确定其所对应的目标料盒以及目标加料量。
在另一种具体实现中,加料控制装置还可以根据用户发出的加料指令确定待添加的目标调料的目标料盒和目标加料量。
该加料指令可以是用户发送至烹饪设备的指令,用户可以在交互屏幕或者终端设备上设定本次烹饪所需添加的目标调料以及该目标调料的目标加料量,从而将携带前述信息的加料指令发送至烹饪设备,烹饪设备在获取到该加料指令后,可以将该加料指令发送至加料控制装置,从而加料控制装置可以对该加料指令进行解析,提取其中所携带的目标调料以及目标调料对应的目标加料量。
可以理解的,该目标加料量指的是需添加到烹饪容器内的目标调料的重量,由于称重传感器易受外界干扰,依赖称重传感器控制加料时的加料精度无法得到保证,因此,本申请实施例中,可以将目标调料的目标加料量转换为目标调料流量,从而根据目标调料流量控制加料。
根据重量等于体积乘以流体密度这一计算式可以知道,在目标调料的目标加料量以及密度一定的条件下,可以计算得到该目标加料量所对应的目标调料的体积,而目标调料的 体积便可以确定为目标调料的目标调料流量。
步骤S3202、控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过与目标料盒对应的目标排料管排出,获取称重组件称量的目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前重量值。
本申请实施例中,可以控制驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出至烹饪容器,在排料的过程中,随着目标料盒内的目标调料的排出,目标料盒内的目标调料减少,目标料盒的重量减少,因此,称重组件称量的重量值也逐渐减小。
可以理解,在目标排料管排料过程中,加料控制装置可以实时获取称重组件的当前重量值,具体的,可以是根据预设的频率访问称重组件获取当前重量值,或者称重组件根据预设的频率向加料控制装置发送当前重量值。
步骤S3203、若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于预设的变化阈值,则获取与目标排料管对应的目标流量检测单元检测的目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前调料流量。
可以理解的,在目标驱动单元的工作参数一定的情况下,其在单位时间内所输送的目标调料的重量应该是一定的,因此,可以知道在目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料排出的过程中,目标料盒的重量的变化是线性变化的,因此,称重组件称量的重量值是线性变化的,即称重组件称量的每一当前时刻的重量值应均与其前一时刻的重量值之间的差值相等或相近。
例如,称重组件称量的第一时刻的重量值为300g,第二时刻的重量值为299g,第三时刻的重量值为298g,第三时刻的重量值为297g,即每一当前时刻的重量值与其前一时刻的重量值之间的差值均为1g,由此可以确定称重组件正常工作。
而若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于预设的变化阈值,则可以说明称重组件工作异常,此处预设的变化阈值可以根据多次实验、过往经验进行确定,在不同的应用场景中,变化阈值可以不同。
若在称重组件工作异常时继续基于重量的变化来控制加料,则会导致实际加料量与目标加料量不一致的问题,因此,在当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于变化阈值时,可以获取目标流量检测单元检测的目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前调料流量。
本申请实施例中,目标流量检测单元可以检测目标排料管在输送目标调料时流经目标排料管的目标调料的流量,其仅以流通在目标排料管内的目标调料作为检测对象,因此,相较于称重组件来说,目标流量检测单元更不易受外界环境干扰。
可以理解,在开始排料时,目标流量检测单元便可以开始工作检测流经目标排料管的调料流量,在目标排料管排料过程中,加料控制装置同样可以与目标流量检测单元通信连接,其可以根据预设的访问频率访问目标流量检测单元获取当前调料流量,或者目标流量检测单元可以根据预设的发送频率向加料控制装置发送检测的当前调料流量。
加料控制装置在获取到目标流量检测单元的当前调料流量之后,便可以转而基于该当前调料流量控制加料,以确保实际添加到烹饪容器内的目标调料量与目标加料量一致。
步骤S3204、根据当前调料流量和目标调料流量,控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出。
由于目标调料流量是根据目标调料的目标加料量确定得到的,因此,当当前调料流量小于目标调料流量时,可以确定添加到烹饪容器内的目标调料量还未达到目标加料量,可以继续控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出至烹饪容器;而当当前调料流量达到目标调料流量,则可以确定添加至烹饪容器内的目标调料量已经达到理想值即目标加料量,此时停止向烹饪容器加料,即可以控制目标料盒内的目标调料停止通过目标排料管排出,完成向烹饪容器添加目标调料的进程。
本申请实施例中,通过称重组件对加料过程中料盒的重量变化进行检测,在当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于变化阈值时,获取流量检测单元在加料过程中检测的当前调料流量,转而根据该当前调料流量与目标调料流量控制加料,可以避免称重组件受外界干扰影响加料精度的问题,提高了加料精度,确保了加料装置的抗干扰能力和可靠性。
接下来,继续对图16所示的各步骤以及在实际应用中可能采用的具体实施方式进行详细阐述。
由于称重组件是通过在加料的过程中检测目标料盒内的目标调料减少的重量来确定加料量的,因此,可以理解其是通过绝对的重量控制来确保加料精度的,而目标流量检测单元是基于目标调料的流量即目标调料的体积来确保加料体积的精确性,因此,在一些实施例中,可以设定以称重控制为主要的加料控制手段,流量控制手段作为辅助,来进一步确保加料精准性。
因此,在本申请一些实施例中,根据当前调料流量和目标调料流量,控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出,之后,方法还可以进一步包括:
获取称重组件称量的目标料盒内的目标调料排出前的初始重量值以及目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的累计排料时长;根据累计排料时长和预设的单位时间减重 值,确定总体减重值;若总体减重值与重量差值之差小于预设第一误差阈值,则根据重量差值和目标加料量,控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出;重量差值为初始重量值与当前重量值之差。
可以理解的,初始重量值是开始排料前称重组件称量的重量值,在开始控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出时,加料控制装置可以同步开始计时,从而可以得到排料的过程中每一时刻的累计排料时长。
由于在目标驱动单元的工作参数一定的情况下,目标料盒的重量的变化是线性变化的,称重组件称量的重量值也是线性变化的,因此,可以在加料前提前确定目标驱动单元在单位时间内驱动目标调料排出时,目标料盒的重量变化,即得到单位时间减重值,将该单位时间减重值与计时得到的累计排料时长相乘,便可以得到在累计排料时长内目标料盒应排出的目标调料的总重量,也就是目标料盒应减少的总重量即总体减重值。
若仅是在排料过程中某一时刻或某一小段时间内称重组件因受外界干扰而出现重量值突变,而在累计排料时长内其称量的重量值回归正常状态,则可以继续基于称重控制来确保加料精准性。
因此,在根据流量控制目标料盒内的目标调料继续排出时,称重组件同样可以继续对目标料盒的重量进行称量得到当前重量值,若在累计排料时长内称重组件称量的重量变化回归正常状态,则此时初始重量值与当前重量值之差即重量差值与总体减重值应相等或相差不大。
即当总体减重值与重量差值之差小于预设第一误差阈值时,可以转回到称重控制的加料控制手段控制目标料盒内的目标调料排出。
可以理解,本申请实施例中的预设第一误差阈值可以取值为30、30.31、30.301等任意数值,预设第一误差阈值的取值具体可以根据称重组件的精度以及实际应用场景进行确定,此处不作限定。
转回称重控制的加料控制手段控制目标料盒内的目标调料排出,则可以根据重量差值和目标加料量,控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出。
具体的,若重量差值与目标加料量之差大于预设第二误差阈值,则可以确定添加到烹饪容器内的目标调料量还未达到目标加料量,可以继续控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出至烹饪容器;而若重量差值与目标加料量之差未大于该预设第二误差阈值,则可以确定添加至烹饪容器内的目标调料量已经达到理想值即目标加料量,此时控制目标料盒内的目标调料停止通过目标排料管排出,完成加料。
可以理解,本申请实施例中的预设第二误差阈值可以取值为0、0.1、0.01等任意数值,预设第二误差阈值的取值具体可以根据称重组件的精度以及实际应用场景进行确定,此处不作限定。
根据前述实施例中对加料装置的说明可以知道,在一些实施例中,流量检测单元可以包括圈数检测器件,圈数检测器件可以用于检测对应的驱动单元在驱动对应的料盒内的调料通过对应的排料管排出的过程中的运转圈数,因此,本申请实施例中还可以根据驱动单元的运转圈数控制加料。
本申请一些实施例中,获取称重组件称量的目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前重量值,之后,方法还可以进一步包括:
若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于变化阈值,则根据目标调料流量确定目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元的总运转圈数;获取与目标驱动单元对应的目标圈数检测器件检测目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中的当前运转圈数;根据当前运转圈数和总运转圈数,控制目标驱动单元的运转。
由于当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的变化大于变化阈值时,可以认为称重组件工作异常,因此,此时可以根据目标调料流量确定目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元的总运转圈数。
本申请实施例中,目标驱动单元转动一圈时所排出的目标调料对应的体积即单位排料体积可以预先通过实验获取,因此,将该目标调料流量除以预先存储的单位排料流量,便可以得到目标驱动单元输送目标加料量的目标调料的总运转圈数。
在目标驱动单元驱动目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出的过程中,加料控制装置可以实时目标圈数检测器件检测的目标驱动单元的当前运转圈数,进而根据该当前运转圈数与计算得到的总运转圈数,可以控制目标驱动单元的运转。
具体的,若当前运转圈数小于总运转圈数,则可以确定当前传输至烹饪容器的调料量还未达到目标加料量,因此,可以控制目标驱动单元继续驱动目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出至烹饪容器;
而若当前运转圈数等于总运转圈数时,则可以确定当前传输至烹饪容器的调料量恰好达到目标加料量,此时,便可以关闭目标驱动单元,停止向烹饪容器添加目标调料,完成加料。

若重量差值与目标加料量之差大于预设第二误差阈值,则控制目标料盒内的目标调料通过目标排料管排出;

本申请提供一种管路清洁方法,该管路清洁方法的执行主体可以是管路清洁装置,或者集成了该管路清洁装置的加料装置、烹饪设备、服务器设备、物理主机或者用户设备(User Equipment,UE)等不同类型的设备中,其中,管路清洁装置可以采用硬件或者软件的方式实现,UE具体可以为智能手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑或者台式电脑等终端设备。
该管路清洁方法可以应用于炒菜机、料理机、烹饪机等烹饪设备的加料装置中,用于在烹饪设备结束烹饪后或者长时间不使用烹饪设备前,清洁加料装置输送调料的排料管,以确保排料管的洁净卫生。
本申请实施例的加料装置可以在烹饪过程中,向烹饪设备的烹饪容器添加烹饪所需调料,以及在烹饪结束后,对排料管进行自清洁。
请参阅图20,图20是本申请实施例中提供的加料装置的一个结构示意图,该加料装置可以包括称重组件4106和至少一个料盒4101,各料盒4101配置有对应的排料管4102,称重组件4106可以用于称量各料盒4101的总重量。
该加料装置可以包括一基座4100,各料盒4101均可以设置于该基座4100上,各排料管4102分别与对应的料盒4101连通,用于传输对应料盒4101内的调料。
可以理解的,料盒4101可以是用于存储或容纳烹饪调料的容器,每一个料盒4101均可以配置有容器入口和容器出口,所储存的调料可以由容器入口流通至料盒4101的内腔即容纳腔中;当烹饪设备工作,加料装置需向烹饪设备的烹饪容器提供相应调料时,容纳在料盒4101的内腔中的调料可以由容器出口流出。
值得注意的是,在一些应用场景中,料盒4101的容器入口和容器出口可以为同一个端口,此时,调料既可以从该端口流通至料盒4101的内腔中,又可以从该端口流出,料盒4101的端口设定可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
料盒4101内存储的调料可以是水、油、酱油、醋等液态调料,还可以是盐、糖、鸡精等固体调料溶于水后得到的调料溶液,由于烹饪一道菜肴所需的调料通常不止一种,因此,本申请实施例中的料盒4101可以有不止一个,虽然图20中示出了一个料盒4101,但是,在实际应用中,料盒4101的具体数量可以根据实际应用情况进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
本申请实施例中,各排料管4102可以分别与对应的料盒4101的容器出口连通,以将对应的料盒4101内的调料传输至烹饪容器或者将对应的料盒4101内的清洁液体排出。
若每一排料管4102分别与烹饪容器连通,则烹饪容器上需要预留较多端口,若所需要的调料较多,则各排料管4102的排布复杂,因此,在其他的一些应用场景中,加料装置还可以包括一汇料容器4104,该汇料容器4104可以分别与各排料管4102连通以及通过出料管4107与烹饪容器或者其他外部容器连接,由排料管4102传输至汇料容器4104内的调料可以经由出料管4107流通至烹饪容器,或者由排料管4102传输至汇料容器4104内的清洁液体可以经由出料管4107流通至烹饪容器或与出料管4107连通的其他外部容器。
可以理解的,为了避免汇料容器4104和出料管4107内残留调料或者清洁液体,该汇料容器4104还可以连接有一气泵(图中未示出),该气泵可以为调料或者清洁液体的流通提供动力,将汇料容器4104和出料管4107内的调料或者清洁液体泵至烹饪容器。
如图20所示,各排料管4102可以分别连接有对应的驱动单元4103,以通过驱动单元4103驱动调料或者清洁液体在管道内流通,由于各排料管4102分别与汇料容器4104连通,因此,通过对应的驱动单元4103可以将对应料盒4101内的调料或者清洁液体输送至汇料容器4104,再由汇料容器4104经出料管4107排出。
可以理解的,各驱动单元4103能够在管路中产生负压,从而将调料或者清洁液体吸入到排料管4102中,并沿着排料管4102输送液体,因此,驱动单元4103可以是现有的任一种 驱动泵结构,例如蠕动泵、叶轮式泵等,具体此处不做限定。
为了减小加料装置的体积,基座4100的内腔可以用于容纳加料装置的部分器件,如图20所示,驱动单元4103、汇料容器4104以及部分的排料管4102均可以设置于基座4100的内腔中。
如图20所示,该称重组件4106可以设置于加料装置的基座4100上,各料盒4101可以设置于一负载平台4105上,该称重组件4106可以包括称重传感器,称重传感器设置于负载平台4105下方,用于对负载平台4105以及负载平台4105上的各料盒4101的总重量进行称量。
可以理解的,负载平台4105上可以设置有多个容纳槽(未示出),各容纳槽可以对应放置料盒4101,容纳槽可以对料盒4101进行限位,以避免在移动加料装置时负载平台4105上的料盒4101之间发生碰撞或掉落的情况。
本申请实施例中,排料管4102可以是一体式结构的管路,也可以是由管接头和多段管路连接而成的分体式结构的管路。
在一种具体实现中,驱动单元4103采用蠕动泵,排料管4102采用韧性软管,蠕动泵通过挤压韧性软管来推送韧性软管中的液体流动,如此,可以避免蠕动泵直接与韧性软管中的液体接触,保证液体不被污染。
为了降低排料管4102对称重传感器的称量结果的影响,在一些实施例中,排料管4102可以采用由管接头和多段管路连接而成的分体式结构的管路,其中,多段管路可以采用韧性软管,同时,在对管路的走向进行排布时,可以避免管路与负载平台4105或料盒4101之间的摩擦,从而避免摩擦力对称重传感器的称量结果的影响。
基于上述实施例中的加料装置,本申请的管路清洁方法包括:
确定待清洁的目标排料管;控制与目标排料管对应的目标料盒内的清洁液体通过目标排料管排出;获取称重组件称量的目标排料管将目标料盒内的清洁液体排出过程中的当前重量值;若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于预设的变化阈值,则确定完成对目标排料管的清洁。
请参阅图21,图21是本申请实施例中提供的管路清洁方法的一个流程示意图。需要说明的是,虽然在流程示意图中示出了逻辑顺序,但是在某些情况下,可以以不同于此处的顺序执行所示出或描述的步骤。
本申请实施例中,该管路清洁方法可以用于清洁加料装置的排料管,该管路清洁方法可以包括以下多个步骤。
步骤S4201、确定待清洁的目标排料管。
由于加料装置的料盒可以有多个,而料盒与排料管之间存在一一对应的关系,因此,对于加料装置来说,其排料管也可以有多个。
而烹饪不同的菜肴时,所需添加的调料的种类不同,因此,各排料管的使用频率不同,而不同的使用频率会使残留在排料管内壁上的调料对排料管的影响不同。
举例来说,大多数菜肴在烹饪时都需要添加盐水,因此与存储盐水的料盒相对应的排料管的使用频率较高,由于使用频率较高,则残留在排料管内壁上的盐水不易出现腐烂、发霉等现象;而对于与存储辣油的料盒相对应的排料管来说,只有在烹饪部分菜肴时可能才需要添加辣油,因此,对于该排料管的使用频率相对较低,若长时间不对该排料管进行清洗,则残留在该排料管内壁上的辣油容易出现腐烂、发霉等现象,从而污染排料管。
因此,在一些实施例中,管路清洁装置可以根据对排料管的使用频率来确定待清洁的目标排料管,例如,可以预先为每一个排料管对应配置一个空闲时间阈值,若某一排料管的空闲时间即未被使用的时间距离上一次使用后累计达到对应的空闲时间阈值,则管路清洁装置自动将该排料管确定为待清洁的目标排料管,并且在清洁后重置所累计的空闲时间,以便下一次重新累计。
可以理解的,在其他的一些实施例中,目标排料管也可以是由用户指定的排料管,例如,用户在烹饪结束后,选择所要清洁的目标排料管的编号或名称,然后将包括该编号或名称的信号发送至管路清洁装置,从而管路清洁装置可以根据该信号确定与其中的编号或名称对应的排料管为待清洁的目标排料管。
本申请实施例中,可以根据预先设定的清洗顺序依次对不同的目标排料管进行清洁,需要说明的是,待清洁的目标排料管的数量可以根据实际情况进行确定,具体此处不做限定。
步骤S4202、控制与目标排料管对应的目标料盒内的清洁液体通过目标排料管排出。
本申请实施例中,可以预先向目标排料管对应的目标料盒内排入清洁液体,使得目标料盒存储有可用于清洁排料管的清洁液体,从而在进行管道清洁时,管路清洁装置可以控制目标排料管对应的驱动单元工作,驱动目标料盒内的清洁液体通过目标排料管输出至汇料容器后,再由出料管的出口排出至烹饪容器或者其他外部容器中。
可以理解的,该清洁液体可以是净水或者添加有清洗剂的混合液体,为了提高清洁效果,清洁液体也可以是加热后的净水或混合液体,具体可以根据实际应用场景进行选择,具体此处不做限定。
步骤S4203、获取称重组件称量的目标排料管将目标料盒内的清洁液体排出过程中的 当前重量值。
由于称重组件可以用于称量各料盒的总重量,排料管连接的驱动单元可以被配置为驱动料盒内的调料沿排料管进行排料,以及基于称重组件称量的重量的变化停止排料。
因此,同样也可以根据称重组件称量的重量的变化控制驱动单元工作,从而控制目标排料管对清洁液体的输送。
本申请实施例中,可以根据重量的变化来控制清洁液体的流通,因此为了明确清洁过程中的清洁液体的重量变化,在目标排料管将目标料盒内的清洁液体排出的过程中,可以实时获取称重单元称量的当前重量值,可以理解,随着目标料盒内的目标调料的排出,目标料盒的重量逐渐减轻,称重单元称量的重量值逐渐减小,且减小的重量即为由目标排料管排出的清洁液体的重量。
称重组件如称重传感器可以根据预先设定的采样频率周期性地采样各料盒的总重量,管路清洁装置获取称重组件称量的当前重量值的方式可以是主动获取,例如,可以预先为管路清洁装置设置一访问周期,管路清洁装置根据基于该访问周期周期性地与称重传感器建立通信连接,从而获取到称重传感器称量的当前重量值。
管路清洁装置获取称重组件称量的当前重量值的方式也可以是被动获取,例如,称重传感器每采样一次各料盒的总重量,便可以将得到的当前重量值直接发送至管路清洁装置,以使管路清洁装置获取到称重传感器称量的当前重量值。
步骤S4204、若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于预设的变化阈值,则确定完成对目标排料管的清洁。
由于在目标排料管输送清洁液体的过程中,随着目标料盒内的清洁液体的排出,目标料盒的重量逐渐减轻,称重单元称量的重量值逐渐减小,因此,称重组件每次采样的当前重量值会小于前一采样时刻所采样的重量值,如果称重组件采样的当前重量值与前一采样时刻所采样的重量值之间无变化或者变化较小,则可以确定目标料盒内存储的清洁液体已被全部排出,如此,便可以确定完成本次对目标排料管的清洁。
预设的变化阈值可以是0、0.01、0.1等任意数值,在不同的应用场景中,变化阈值的取值可以不同,具体的变化阈值的选取可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,此处不作限定。
本申请实施例中,通过控制与目标排料管对应的目标料盒内的清洁液体通过目标排料管排出,可以在目标排料管输送清洁液体的过程中,使清洁液体对目标排料管的内壁进行冲刷,从而实现对目标排料管的清洁,避免了调料残留在目标排料管内壁对目标排料管造成污染,确保了目标排料管的洁净卫生,提高了加料装置的安全性和可靠性。
接下来,继续对图21所示的各步骤以及在实际应用中可能采用的具体实施方式进行详细阐述。
在本申请一些实施例中,若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于预设的变化阈值,则确定完成对目标排料管的清洁,可以进一步包括:
若当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于变化阈值,则维持与目标排料管对应的目标驱动单元运转;
当维持目标驱动单元运转的时间达到预设时限时,关闭目标驱动单元,确定完成对目标排料管的清洁。
由于目标排料管是将目标料盒内的清洁液体排出,因此,在目标料盒内的清洁液体恰好被排空的时刻,目标排料管内还存在着流通的清洁液体,如果此刻立即就关停目标驱动单元,则清洁液体会残存在目标排料管中。
因此,在确定当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于变化阈值时,可以维持目标驱动单元的运行状态,此时,由于目标料盒内的清洁液体已经被全部排入目标排料管,因此,目标驱动单元会将目标料盒内的空气泵入目标排料管,从而通过泵入目标排料管内的空气将残留在目标排料管内的清洁液体推出目标排料管,直至目标排料管内的清洁液体被全部排出,则可以确定完成对目标排料管的清洁。
可以理解的,由于不同的料盒的安装位置不同,各排料管的走向则不同,因此,各料盒对应的排料管的长度也不相同,针对于长度较短的排料管来说,在称重组件称量的当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于变化阈值后,维持对应的驱动单元继续工作较短时间,则可以确保将残留在排料管内的清洁液体全部排出;而针对于长度较长的排料管来说,在称重组件称量的当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值之间的重量变化小于变化阈值后,需维持对应的驱动单元继续工作较长时间,才可以确保将残留在排料管内的清洁液体全部排出。
因此,针对于不同的排料管维持其所对应的驱动单元继续运转的预设时限可以不同,例如,较短的排料管对应的预设时限可以设定为3s、5s等,较长的排料管对应的预设时限可以设定为10s、15s等,具体可以排料管的长度进行选择,此处不作限定。
在本申请一些实施例中,确定待清洁的目标排料管,可以进一步包括:
获取清洁指令,根据清洁指令确定目标料盒;根据目标料盒,确定与目标料盒连通的排料管为待清洁的目标排料管。
可以理解的,清洁指令可以是烹饪设备在完成烹饪后自动发送至管路清洁装置的指 令,也可以是用户通过与管路清洁装置通信连接的终端设备发送的指令,若管路清洁装置集成于烹饪设备,则该清洁指令还可以是管路清洁装置在监测到完成烹饪后自动发出的指令。
由于在对目标排料管进行清洁时,目标料盒内应存储有清洁液体,因此,若目标料盒内还存储有目标调料,则排入目标料盒内的清洁液体会污染目标料盒内原有的目标调料,造成目标调料的浪费。
因此,本申请实施例中,目标料盒可以是存储的调料已排空的料盒或者存储的调料较少的料盒。
根据上述实施例中的描述可以知道,料盒与排料管之间存在一一对应的关系,因此,在确定目标料盒之后,便可以将与该目标料盒对应连通的排料管确定为目标排料管。
在一些应用场景中,本申请的加料装置还可以包括与各料盒对应的液位检测单元,根据清洁指令确定目标料盒,可以进一步包括:
响应于清洁指令,获取各液位检测单元检测对应的料盒内的调料液位的液位检测信号;针对每个液位检测单元,若该液位检测单元的液位检测信号表征对应的料盒内的调料液位低于预设的缺料警戒线,则将该液位检测单元对应的料盒确定为目标料盒。
本申请实施例中,液位检测单元可以是现有的任一种液位计、液位探测仪、液位检测传感器或可以用于检测液体液位的其他器件或结构,具体此处不做限定。
对于每一个料盒,可以预先为其配置一缺料警戒线,该缺料警戒线可以用于指示管路清洁装置是否对料盒对应的排料管进行清洁,例如,缺料警戒线可以位于靠近料盒底部的部分,若调料液位低于该缺料警戒线,则可以确定料盒内的调料液位较低,存储的调料较少,即使向其排入清洁液体,也不会造成太多调料的浪费,因此,可以将该料盒确定为目标料盒;而若调料液位未低于该缺料警戒线,则可以确定料盒内的调料液位不低,存储的调料不少,若向其排入清洁液体,不仅清洁效果不好,还会浪费较多调料,因此,可以不将该料盒确定为目标料盒。
可以理解,设置缺料警戒线的目的是为了不造成调料的浪费,因此,该缺料警戒线还可以与料盒的内腔底部持平,在此场景下,通过液位检测单元可以检测料盒内是否有调料存在,只有在料盒内不存在调料时,才将该料盒确定为目标料盒,进而对其对应的目标排料管进行清洁。
本申请实施例中,各料盒对应的缺料警戒线可以相同,也可以不同,并且每一缺料警戒线的高度或位置可以根据调料成本、调料来源以及实际应用场景进行确定,在此不再过 多赘述。
当烹饪设备完成烹饪后,可以自动向管路清洁装置发送一清洁指令,当管路清洁装置获取到清洁指令后,便可以响应于该清洁指令获取各液位检测单元对对应的料盒内的调料液位进行检测的液位检测信号,对于每一个液位检测单元,如果其输出的液位检测信号表征对应的料盒内的调料液位低于缺料警戒线,则可以认为该料盒内的调料液位较低,进而可以将该料盒确定为目标料盒;反之,如果液位检测信号表征对应的料盒内的调料液位未低于缺料警戒线,则可以认为该料盒内的调料液位不低,不将该料盒确定为目标料盒,即本次清洁不对该料盒对应的排料管进行清洁。
在一种具体实现中,当料盒内的调料液位低于缺料警戒线时,液位检测单元输出高电平的液位检测信号,而当料盒内的调料液位未低于该缺料警戒线时,液位检测单元输出低电平的液位检测信号,因此,若管路清洁装置获取到的液位检测信号为高电平信号,则可以确认料盒内的调料液位低于缺料警戒线,若管路清洁装置获取到的液位检测信号为低电平信号,则可以确认料盒内的调料液位未低于缺料警戒线,从而根据液位检测信号便可以确定目标料盒,进而根据目标料盒确定目标排料管。
在其他的应用场景中,低电平的液位检测信号也可以用于表征料盒内的调料液位低于缺料警戒线,此时,高电平的液位检测信号则用于表征料盒内的调料液位未低于缺料警戒线,在此不再过多赘述。
在本申请另一些实施例中,根据清洁指令确定目标料盒,还可以进一步包括:
解析清洁指令,提取清洁指令中携带的目标料盒标识码;各料盒关联配置有唯一的料盒标识码;根据目标料盒标识码,将与目标料盒标识码关联的料盒确定为目标料盒。
本申请实施例中,当烹饪设备完成烹饪后,可以提示用户对是否进行排料管的清洁进行选择,具体的,烹饪设备可以配置有交互界面,该交互界面上可以显示清洁选择按键以及与各料盒对应的按键,用户可以通过交互界面上的按键对是否进行排料管清洁,以及具体对哪些排料管进行清洁进行选择,从而烹饪设备可以将携带有用户选择的清洁指令发送至管道清洁装置。
在另一种实现方式中,管道清洁装置还可以通信连接有终端设备,该终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等现有的智能终端,终端设备与烹饪设备之间可以通过任何通信方式实现网络通信,包括但不限于,基于第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)、长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)、全球互通微波访问(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)的移动通信,基于TCP/IP协 议族(TCP/IP Protocol Suite,TCP/IP)、用户数据报协议(User Datagram Protocol,UDP)的计算机网络通信,或基于蓝牙(Bluetooth)、行动热点(Wi-Fi)、紫峰(Zigbee)的无线网络通信等。
用户可以通过在终端设备所配置的相应程序中对是否进行排料管清洁,以及具体对哪些排料管进行清洁进行选择,然后终端设备通过向管道清洁装置发送清洁指令,以将用户所选择的是否进行排料管清洁,以及具体对哪些排料管进行清洁的信息发送至管道清洁装置。
本申请实施例中,每一个料盒都关联配置有唯一标识其身份的料盒标识码,在用户选择进行排料管清洁以及确定待清洁的目标排料管之后,便可以选择与目标排料管对应的目标料盒的按键,从而将目标料盒对应的目标料盒标识码配置在清洁指令中,以使清洁指令携带该目标料盒的目标料盒标识码,当管道清洁装置获取到清洁指令后,对该清洁指令进行解析,便可以从清洁指令中提取到目标料盒标识码,从而将与目标料盒标识码关联的料盒确定为目标料盒。
举例来说,管道清洁装置中可以配置一标识码关联表,当管道清洁装置从清洁指令中提取到目标料盒标识码之后,可以调用该标识码关联表,在标识码关联表中查找与目标料盒标识码对应的料盒,从而将该料盒确定为目标料盒,进而根据目标料盒确定待清洁的目标排料管,然后控制该目标排料管对应的驱动单元工作,将目标料盒内的清洁用水通过目标排料管排出,实现对目标排料管的清洁。
在本申请一些实施例中,根据清洁指令确定目标料盒,之后,方法还可以进一步包括:
检测目标料盒内是否存在目标调料;
若检测到目标料盒内存在目标调料,则发出表征排空目标调料的排料提示或者控制目标料盒排出目标调料。
本申请实施例中,同样可以根据液位检测单元检测目标料盒内的目标调料液位的液位检测信号确定目标料盒内是否还有目标调料,若目标料盒内还存在目标调料,则管路清洁装置可以控制驱动单元工作,以通过驱动单元将目标料盒内的目标调料经排料管排出。
或者,管路清洁装置也可以发出用于表征排空目标调料的排料提示,以提示用户清空目标料盒内的目标调料,避免目标料盒内的原有调料的浪费。
可以理解,该排料提示可以通过烹饪设备的交互界面或者扬声器、指示灯进行显示,也可以显示在与管道清洁装置通信连接的终端设备上。
在本申请一些实施例中,各料盒可以分别连接存储清洁液体的储液容器,控制与目标 排料管对应的目标料盒内的清洁液体通过目标排料管排出,之前,方法可以进一步包括:
获取称重组件称量的初始重量值;控制储液容器内的清洁液体排入目标料盒;获取称重组件称量的清洁液体排入目标料盒的过程中的实时重量值;若实时重量值与目标重量值之间的差值小于预设误差阈值,则控制储液容器内的清洁液体停止排入目标料盒;目标重量值为初始重量值与目标料盒对应的预设重量阈值之和。
本申请实施例中,可以根据重量的变化来控制清洁液体的流通,称重单元称量的初始重量值可以是清洁前各料盒的总重量。
为了避免输送至目标料盒的清洁液体超过目标料盒的最大容积,可以根据目标料盒的最大容积计算得到用清洁液体充满该目标料盒的内腔容量时,所用的清洁液体的重量,此时计算得到的清洁液体的重量则可以设定为预设重量阈值,即在目标料盒内的目标已被排空的前提下,当流入目标料盒的清洁液体的重量小于该预设重量阈值时,可以确定目标料盒未被充满,可以控制储液容器继续向目标料盒排入清洁液体,当流入目标料盒的清洁液体的重量等于或者大于该预设重量阈值时,可以确定目标料盒被充满,停止向目标料盒排入清洁液体。
由于称重单元称量的初始重量值是排入清洁液体之前,各料盒的总重量,为了明确向目标料盒排入清洁液体过程中的重量变化,在向目标料盒排入清洁液体的过程中,可以实时获取称重单元称量的实时重量值,可以理解,随着清洁液体排入目标料盒,目标料盒的重量逐渐增加,称重单元称量的重量值逐渐增大,且增大的重量即为排入至目标料盒的清洁液体的重量。
因此,实时重量值减去初始重量值则是排入至目标料盒的清洁液体的重量值,当实时重量值与初始重量值之间的差值达到预设重量阈值时,则可以控制储液容器内的清洁液体停止排入目标料盒。
但是,在此过程中,由于每一次称量得到实时重量值之后,都需要与初始重量值作一次减法,然后再与预设重量阈值进行比较,存在一定的耗时,有可能影响排出至目标料盒的清洁液体的重量精度。
基于这一问题,本实施例中,可以在实时重量值与目标重量值之间的差值小于预设误差阈值时,控制储液容器内的清洁液体停止排入目标料盒。
可以理解的,称重单元称量的初始重量值加上预设重量阈值所得到的重量值即为完成清洁液体排入后称重单元应称量得到的目标重量值,因此,本申请实施例中,可以将每一次获取得到的实时重量值与该目标重量值进行比较,当实时重量值与目标重量值一致时, 则可以认为排入至目标料盒的清洁液体恰好充满目标料盒,从而停止继续排入清洁液体,此场景中,只需在开始排入清洁液体前,对初始重量值和预设重量阈值作一次加法得到目标重量值,在排入清洁液体的过程中,每一次称量得到的实时重量值可直接与该目标重量值进行比较,可以确保排入至目标料盒的清洁液体的重量精度。
例如,目标调料充满目标料盒的预设重量阈值为200g,初始重量值为800g,则完成排入清洁液体时的目标重量值应为1000g,因此,在排入清洁液体的过程中,当称重单元称量的实时重量值为1000g时,管道清洁装置可以发出停止信号至储液容器,以使储液容器停止向目标料盒排入清洁液体。
在其他的一些应用场景中,为了避免器件延时带来的称重干扰,还可以预先设置一预设误差阈值,将实时重量值与目标重量值之间的差值与该预设误差阈值进行比较,当实时重量值与目标重量值之间的差值未小于该预设误差阈值时,可以认为排入的清洁液体还未充满目标料盒,进而可以控制储液容器继续向目标料盒输送清洁液体,而当实时重量值与目标重量值之间的差值小于该预设误差阈值时,则可以认为清洁液体已充满目标料盒,进而可以控制储液容器停止向目标料盒排入清洁液体。
可以理解的,该预设误差阈值可以为0.01g、0.1g、1g等任意数值,具体可以根据过往经验或者多次实验进行确定,不同的应用场景中,预设误差阈值也可以不同,在此不再过多赘述。
在本申请一些实施例中,加料装置还可以包括与各料盒对应的液位检测单元,各料盒分别连接存储清洁液体的储液容器,控制与目标排料管对应的目标料盒内的清洁液体通过目标排料管排出,之前,方法可以进一步包括:
控制储液容器内的清洁液体排入目标料盒;获取与目标料盒对应的目标液位检测单元检测目标料盒内的清洁液体液位的液位检测信号;若液位检测信号表征清洁液体液位未低于预设的液位上限线,则控制储液容器内的清洁液体停止排入目标料盒。
由于目标料盒的容积有限,在向目标料盒排入清洁液体的过程中,为了避免排入目标料盒内的清洁液体从目标料盒溢出,本申请实施例中,可以为每一料盒配置一液位检测单元,通过该液位检测单元对清洁液体排入过程中目标料盒内的液位高度进行检测。
本申请实施例中,液位检测单元可以是现有的任一种液位计、液位探测仪、液位检测传感器或可以用于检测液体液位的其他器件或结构,具体此处不做限定。
对于每一个料盒,可以预先为其配置一液位上限线,该液位上限线可以用于指示料盒内的液体液位是否达到料盒能承受的最高液位,例如,液位上限线可以位于靠近料盒顶部 的部分,若液体液位低于该液位上限线,则可以确定料盒内的液体液位较低,可以继续容纳清洁液体;而若液体液位未低于该液位上限线,则可以确定料盒内的液体液位较高,存储的清洁液体将近充满料盒的容积,若继续向其排入清洁液体,则可能会导致液体溢出。
可以理解,设置液位上限线的目的是为了避免目标料盒内的清洁液体溢出,因此,在一些应用场景中,该液位上限线还可以与目标料盒的内腔顶部持平,在此场景下,通过液位检测单元输出的液位检测信号可以确定目标料盒的内腔是否被充满,在目标料盒未被充满时,可以继续向目标料盒排入清洁液体,而在目标料盒被充满时,需停止排入清洁液体。
本申请实施例中,各料盒对应的液位上限线可以相同,也可以不同,具体的每一液位上限线的高度或位置可以根据实际应用场景进行确定,在此不再过多赘述。
在一种具体实现中,当目标料盒内的清洁液体液位低于液位上限线时,液位检测单元输出高电平的液位检测信号,而当目标料盒内的清洁液体液位未低于该液位上限线时,液位检测单元输出低电平的液位检测信号,因此,若管路清洁装置获取到的液位检测信号为高电平信号,则可以确认目标料盒内的清洁液体液位低于液位上限线,可以控制储液容器继续向目标料盒排入清洁液体;若管路清洁装置获取到的液位检测信号为低电平信号,则可以确认目标料盒内的清洁液体液位未低于液位上限线,此时可以认为目标料盒已被充满,从而可以控制储液容器停止向目标料盒排入清洁液体。
在其他的应用场景中,低电平的液位检测信号也可以用于表征目标料盒内的清洁液体液位低于液位上限线,此时,高电平的液位检测信号则用于表征目标料盒内的清洁液体液位未低于液位上限线,在此不再过多赘述。

应用场景三
烹饪设备的当前烹饪程序结束后,自动触发一清洁指令发送至加料装置,加料装置响应于该清洁指令,获取与各料盒对应的液位检测单元输出的液位检测信号,根据各液位检测信号将调料液位低于缺料警戒线的料盒确定为目标料盒,进而确定与目标料盒对应的排料管为目标排料管。

获取排出过程中称重组件称量的当前重量值,从当前重量值与前一时刻的重量值相等时开始计时,若在410s内的当前重量值始终与其前一时刻的重量值相等,则关闭目标驱动单元,确定完成对目标排料管的清洁。
请参阅图25,本申请的实施例提供一种加料装置5100,其用于为一烹饪容器提供调料。在此,所述加料装置5100包括料盒5140(请见图26)、称重组件5110和输料组件5120。
其中,请参阅图26,所述料盒5140用于存储烹饪用的调料,此处,所述调料包括但不限于水、油、盐或盐水、酱油、老抽、生抽、辣椒油、醋及其混合物等。在此,所述料盒5140的数量被设置为至少两个,其中一个料盒5140用于存储油,其余料盒5140用于存储其他调料,这是由于油和其他调料通常需要分别进行投放,以避免油与其他调料中的液体同时加入烹饪容器中所可能导致的液体飞溅问题。在此基础上,所述料盒5140的具体数量可以按需要进行设置,例如对应于所需调料的数量进行设置为2个、3个、5个、8个等,本实施例并不对其进行限制。并且,各个所述料盒5140的体积及容量可以根据需要设置,示例性地,此处设置有1个第一料盒5141和7个第二料盒5142,其中所述第一料盒5141用于储存水,7个所述第二料盒5142用于储存其他调料。由于在烹饪过程中水的用量相较于其他调料的用量更多,因此所述第一料盒5141的体积和容量大于所述第二料盒5142的体积和容量,以减少烹饪过程中补充水的次数和频率。当然,在其他实施例中,各个所述料盒5140的体积和容量可以与上述示例不同,本实施例并不对其进行限制。
所述料盒5140被设置在所述称重组件5110上,所述称重组件5110用于对所述料盒5140进行称量,从而对所述料盒5140中所存储的调料进行称量,以便获得调料的用量和/或储量信息,进而便于进行相应的操作。在一个示例中,所述称重组件5110对所述料盒5140进行一次称量并进行去皮处理,以获得所述料盒5140中调料的重量。在另一个示例中,所述称重组件5110对所述料盒5140进行前后两次测量,两次测量的差值即为所述调料的用量。
在一些实施例中,请再参阅图25,所述称重组件5110包括称重传感器5111和负载平台5112。其中,所述称重传感器5111可以为重量传感器,所述负载平台5112设置在所述称重传感器5111上,所述负载平台5112用于承载所述料盒5140(请见图26)。示例性地,所述加料装置5100包括基座5130,所述称重组件5110还包括连接支架5113。所述连接支架5113连接在所述基座5130上,所述称重传感器5111设置在所述连接支架5113上,即所述称重传感器5111通过所述连接支架5113被安装在所述基座5130上。所述负载平台 5112固定在所述称重传感器5111上,并且所述料盒5140以可拆卸的方式连接在所述负载平台5112上,进而所述料盒5140中的调料的重量得以被所述称重传感器5111称量。同时,此处,所述料盒5140与所述负载平台5112之间以可拆卸的方式相互连接,用户可将所述料盒5140由所述负载平台5112上拆卸以便进行清洗和换装调料等操作。
在此,承前所述,所述负载平台5112上设置有至少两个所述料盒5140。所述称重传感器5111可以对应于所述料盒5140的数量和位置进行设置,从而对各个料盒5140的重量进行称量。或者,也可以总共只设置一个称重传感器5111,该一个称重传感器5111用于称量所有的料盒5140的总重量,并通过所有的料盒5140的总重量的变化,来确定调料的用量。示例性地,在取用某一种调料后,根据总重量的减少量来确定该种调料的用量。
并且,为了便于在实际使用时对所述料盒5140中调料的取用,通常地将储存有特定种类的调料的料盒5140装载在所述负载平台5112上的特定位置。示例性地,所述负载平台5112上依次设置有若干装载位,所述装载位用于装载所述料盒5140。具体地,请参阅图25,其中示出了第一装载位51121和第二装载位51122,所述第一装载位51121被设置为用于装载储存有酱油的料盒5140,所述第二装载位51122被设置为用于装载储存有醋的料盒5140。此处,用户在使用时可能错放料盒5140的位置,例如将储存有醋的料盒5140装载至第一装载位51121上,进而可能导致后续使用时对调料的取用发生错误。
因此,在本申请的实施例中,所述负载平台5112的每个装载位上均设置有连接部51123,在此,所述连接部51123具体为对位凸起并且每个所述对位凸起具有不同的形状。与此相对应地,所述料盒5140与所述连接部51123相对应设置,每个所述料盒5140上分别设有用于与相对应的所述连接部51123相配合的配合部(图未示),在此,所述配合部为对位凹陷。此处,相对应设置的连接部51123和配合部可以相互对接,以使所述料盒5140被可拆卸地装配至所述负载平台5112上,并且不相对应的连接部51123和配合部形状不同无法对接以形成防呆配合,有助于防止用户将储液容器安装至错误的位置。当然,可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,所述连接部51123可以为对位凸起,相对应地,所述配合部为对位凹陷,本实施例并不对其进行限制。
如前所述,所述料盒5140的数量被设置为至少两个,此处,所述输料组件5120的数量也被设置为至少两个,并且所述输料组件5120的数量是一一对应于所述料盒5140的数量进行设置的,每个所述输料组件5120均与相对应设置的所述料盒5140相连接。示例性地,请参阅图26,在本实施例中,所述料盒5140的数量被设置为8个。请同时结合图27,相对应地,所述输料组件5120的数量也被设置为8个,每个所述输料组件与其相对应的 所述料盒5140连接,以用于将对应的所述料盒5140内的调料输出至烹饪容器中。当然,承前所述,所述料盒5140的数量可以被设置为其他数量,相对应地所述输料组件的数量也可以被设置为其他数量,本实施例并不对其进行限制。
请参阅图28,每个所述输料组件5120各自包括输料管道5121、第一管段连接件5122、第二管段连接件5123和驱动件5124。
在此,请结合图29,所述输料管道5121包括第一管段51211和第二管段51212。所述第一管段51211具有第一端51213和第二端51214,所述第一端51213连接至所述第一管段连接件5122,所述第二端51214连接至所述第二管段连接件5123,即所述第一管段51211连接所述第一管段连接件5122和所述第二管段连接件5123。所述第二管段51212具有第三端51215和第四端51216,所述第三端51215连接至所述第二管段连接件5123,所述第四端51216连接至所述驱动件5124,即所述第二管段51212连接所述第二管段连接件5123和所述驱动件5124,并且所述第一管段51211和所述第二管段51212通过所述第二管段连接件5123连通。
所述第一管段连接件5122用于连接所述料盒5140(请见图26)与第一管段51211,并在所述料盒5140和所述第一管段51211之间形成用于供给调料的通路。示例性地,请参阅图25,所述负载平台5112可以包括向远离所述基座5130的方向延伸的侧边延伸部51124,使用时所述侧边延伸部51124位于所述料盒5140的一侧,以便对所述料盒5140进行侧边的支撑。所述第一管段连接件5122设置在所述负载平台5112的侧边延伸部51124上。在此,所述第一管段连接件5122设置在所述侧边延伸部51124上。其中,所述输料组件5120可以包括一装载件5125,此处,所述装载件5125大致呈板状且被设置在所述侧边延伸部51124的顶部,当然,本实施例并不对其结构和具体位置进行限定。至少两个所述输料组件5120的第一管段连接件5122均设置在所述装载件5125上,并通过所述装载件5125与所述负载平台5112的侧边延伸部51124固定。当然,在其他实施例中,各个所述输料组件5120的第一管段连接件5122也可分别连接至所述负载平台5112,本实施例并不对其进行限制。
请再参阅图29,所述第一管段连接件5122具有连通的第一接口51221和第二接口51222。其中,所述第一接口51221用于可拆卸地连接至所述料盒5140(请见图26),例如通过管道与所述料盒5140连接等,在需要将所述料盒5140由所述负载平台5112上拆卸时,可以解除所述料盒5140与所述第一接口51221之间的连接,以便对所述料盒5140进行移动。所述第二接口51222用于连接所述输料组件5120。此处,所述连接件5122之间 的间距以及连接件5122的形状等可以根据需要进行设置,例如根据对应的储液容器5140的大小进行设置,本实施例并不对其进行限制。
此处,请参阅图30,在一些实施例中,所述第一接口51221被设置为呈沿着靠近所述第二接口51222的方向内径渐缩的漏斗状。具体地,在图25所示的状态下,所述第一接口51221和第二接口51222沿着竖直方向相对设置,且所述第一接口51221位于上侧。此处,在使用后,可能有残留的部分调料位于所述第一接口51221处,由于所述第一接口51221呈内径渐缩的漏斗状,因而使得残留的调料易于向第一接口51221内侧流动,即所述第一接口51221的表面不易残留调料,用户在拆卸和安装所述料盒5140时不易于接触到残留的调料,以避免用户的手被调料污染。
此外,在一些实施例中,在所述第一管段连接件5122内还可以设置有单向阀(图未示),调料可由所述第一管段连接件5122向远离所述料盒5140的方向流动但不可反向流动,以避免调料反向向所述料盒5140内回流。
所述第二管段连接件5123设置在所述基座5130上,以与所述驱动件5124相固定,所述驱动件5124可以为泵等结构。此处,请参阅图28,所述输料管道5121还具有一连接至烹饪容器的出料口5126,该出料口5126可以设置在所述驱动件5124的下游或其他位置,所述驱动件5124被配置在所述输料管道5121中以用于驱动调料沿所述输料管道5121移动并被供给至烹饪容器中。在一些优选的实施例中,所述驱动件5124具体为蠕动泵,蠕动泵具有精度高的优点,通过调节蠕动泵的转速可以便捷、精确地调节所述输料管道5121的流量。
在此,所述驱动件5124运作时将产生振动,通常地,所述振动将由所述输料管道5121传递至料盒5140,并通过所述料盒5140传递至所述称重组件5110,并影响所述称重组件5110对所述料盒5140的称量。进而烹饪时的调料用量将产生偏差,烹饪的口味将受到影响。尤其是当所述驱动件5124为蠕动泵时,由于蠕动泵是通过对输料管道5121进行挤压以实现调料的泵出的,其更容易导致所述输料管道5121的振动并影响调料称量的准确性。
为此,在本申请的实施例中,所述输料管道5121被设置为第一管段51211和第二管段51212两部分,所述第一管段51211和所述第二管段51212不直接相连而是通过固定设置的所述第二管段连接件5123相连,相较于将第一管段51211和第二管段51212设置为一个管道的方案,第一管段51211的振动需要传递至设置在所述第一管段51211和所述第二管段51212之间的第二管段连接件5123后才能传递至所述第二管段51212,固定设置的所述第二管段连接件5123有助于增加振动在传递至所述第二管段51212的过程中的衰减,进 而减少了振动向所述第二管段51212的传递。从而,所述驱动件5124的振动主要被传递至所述第二管段51212,传递至与所述料盒5140相连的第一管段51211的振动相对较少,有助于减少振动所造成的称量误差。
并且,在一些实施例中,所述第一管段51211被设置为软管,并且第一管段51211的两端分别被第一管段连接件5122和第二管段连接件5123固定,当所述驱动件5124运作时产生的振动传递至所述第一管段51211时,由于所述第一管段51211为柔性结构,因此所述第一管段51211将产生摆动进而吸收所述振动,有助于进一步减少所述振动对称量造成的影响。可以理解的是,所述第一管段51211的长度长于所述第二管段连接件5123至所述第一管段连接件5122之间的距离,在所述第一管段51211未受外力时,所述第一管段51211处于松弛状态,即所述第一管段51211不处于绷紧的状态,否则所述第一管段51211将无法摆动并进而有效吸收振动。当然,在其他实施例中,所述第一管段51211也可仅部分设置为软管以形成柔性结构并实现对振动的吸收。或者,所述第一管段51211上也可以设置成其他的柔性结构,例如所述第一管段51211的表面可以设置有螺旋状的波纹结构以呈波纹管状,进而在受到振动时所述波纹结构可以展开或收缩以将振动吸收。即,所述第一管段51211的至少部分被设置为柔性,进而柔性的部分可通过位移或者形变来吸收振动,以减少传递至料盒5140的振动,并进而改善称重的准确度。
在进一步的实施例中,所述第二管段51212的至少部分也可以被设置为柔性,以减少振动的传递。示例性地,所述第二管段51212也被设置为软管,进而,所述第二管段51212可以产生位移以吸收所述驱动件5124运行时所导致的振动,传递至所述第一管段51211的振动将减少,进而传递至称重组件的振动也将减少。该采用软管的设置较为便捷且成本较低,软管便于弯曲有助于适应不同的环境空间并实现各部件支架的连接。当然,在其他实施例中,所述第二管段51212也可以被设置为硬管等,本实施例并不对其进行限制。
在一些实施例中,所述基座5130具有一容纳腔室(图未示),所述驱动件5124设置在所述容纳腔室内,有助于对所述驱动件5124进行保护,同时也对所述基座5130内的空间进行合理利用。请再参阅图25,所述称重组件5110和所述第二管段连接件5123设置在所述基座5130的一侧,所述基座5130的一侧的外壁所在的平面为第一平面,所述称重组件5110、料盒5140和输料组件5120在所述第一平面上的至少部分投影均位于所述基座5130在所述第一平面上的投影之内。通常地,所述基座5130的一侧是指所述基座5130沿着竖直方向的上侧,所述第一平面为水平面,在如此设置时,所述称重组件5110、料盒5140和输料组件5120在水平面上的占用空间较小,有助于适用于台面空间较小的环境中。
在一些实施例中,沿着竖直方向,所述驱动件5124设置在所述料盒5140的下侧,在此,将重量相对较大的驱动件5124设置在下侧,以实现配重的效果。该设置有助于提高加料装置5100的整体结构稳定性,减少由于上侧的重量过重而可能导致的倾倒等风险。
在一些实施例中,所述加料装置5100还包括汇集件(图未示),若干对应于所述料盒5140设置的输料组件5120的出料口5126均连接至所述汇集件,所述汇集件用于连接至一烹饪容器。在此,所述加料装置5100还可以包括排空组件(图未示),所述排空组件可以为气泵等,其连接至所述汇集件以用于向所述汇集件增压,以将所述汇集件内的调料排空至所述烹饪容器中,避免调料残留在汇集件中进而影响实际的调料量的投放,并减少调料长期残留在汇集件中的风险。
在一些实施例中,所述称重组件5110与所述第二管段51212在所述基座5130上的至少部分投影重叠。该设置有助于使得第二管段51212尽量缩短,便于对调料的泵出,同时也有助于减小所述基座5130的体积。示例性地,所述基座5130被放置在一大致呈水平的平面上,所述称重组件5110的称重传感器5111与所述第二管段51212在所述基座5130上的投影即为两者在水平面上的投影,所述称重传感器5111与所述第二管段51212在水平面上的占用空间较小,进而,所述基座5130在水平面上的占用空间也较小,有助于使得所述加料装置5100更适用于台面空间较小的环境中。
在一些实施例中,烹饪过程中对不同调料的用量差异是较大的,但用同一流量的驱动件5124很难达到加料精度和加料时间的平衡。流量较大的驱动件5124的加料精度将难以控制,但流量较小的驱动件5124会导致加料时间的增加,可能无法及时添加调料,进而影响菜品质量。因此,在本申请的实施例中,如前所述,可以设置有不同体积和容量的所述料盒5140。示例性地,请再参阅图26,此处设置有容量较大的第一料盒5141和容量较小的第二料盒5142,容量较大的第一料盒5141用于储存用量较大的调料。与此相对应,本实施例还设置有不同流量的第一驱动件51241和第二驱动件51242,其中第一驱动件51241的流量大于所述第二驱动件51242的流量。所述第一驱动件51241对应连接至所述第一料盒5141,所述第二驱动件51242对应连接至所述第二料盒5142。进而,对于储存有用量大的调料的第一料盒5141采用大流量的第一驱动件51241,对于储存有用量小的调料的第二料盒5142采用小流量的第二驱动件51242,以通过驱动件5120的不同流量实现加料精度和加料时间的平衡。
在上述实施例中,主要以所述输料组件5120对应于所述料盒5140设置的实施例来进行描述,当然可以理解的是,在其他实施例中,也可以仅设置有一个所述输料组件5120, 所述输料组件5120的第一管段连接件5122通过阀组等可选择地连通至各个所述料盒5140以实现调料的供给。
并且,在其他实施例中,也可以不设置有所述第一管段连接件5122,而是将所述输料管道5121的第一管段51211直接连接至所述料盒5140。
在此,通常地,所述加料装置5100为炒菜机等烹饪设备中的一个部件。因此,相应地,本申请的实施例还提供一种烹饪设备,所述烹饪设备包括加料装置5100和烹饪容器(图未示)。
其中,所述加料装置5100包括称重组件5110、料盒5140和输料组件5120。所述料盒5140设置在所述称重组件5110上,所述输料组件5120包括输料管道5121、第一管段连接件5122、第二管段连接件5123和驱动件5124,所述输料管道5121包括第一管段51211和第二管段51212,所述第一管段51211连接所述第一管段连接件5122和所述第二管段连接件5123,所述第一管段连接件5122与所述称重组件5110相固定,所述第二管段51212连接所述第二管段连接件5123和所述驱动件5124,所述第二管段连接件5123与所述驱动件5124相固定。
所述加料装置5100用于为烹饪容器提供调料。示例性地,所述烹饪容器包括锅具、加热装置、翻炒装置等。在使用时,所述加料装置5100可以设置在锅具的一侧,并且通过所述输料组件5120与锅具连通,以向锅具供应调料。加热装置能够对投入锅具中的食材进行加热,翻炒装置能对锅具中的食材进行翻炒。
在一些实施例中,所述第一管段51211的至少部分呈柔性以吸收所述驱动件5124运作时产生的振动。
在一些实施例中,所述第一管段51211为软管。
在一些实施例中,所述第二管段51212为软管。
在一些实施例中,所述称重组件5110包括称重传感器5111和负载平台5112,所述负载平台5112设置在所述称重传感器5111上,所述负载平台5112上设置有所述第一管段连接件5122。
在一些实施例中,所述称重传感器5111与所述第二管段51212在水平面上的投影至少部分相重叠。
相应地,本申请的实施例还提供一种加料结构,包括称重组件5110和输料组件5120,所述输料组件5120包括输料管道5121、第一管段连接件5122、第二管段连接件5123和驱动件5124,所述输料管道5121包括第一管段51211和第二管段51212,所述第一管段 51211用于接入调料且连接至所述第二管段连接件5123,所述第二管段51212连接所述第二管段连接件5123和所述驱动件5124,所述第二管段连接件5123与所述驱动件5124相固定。

应用场景六
在应用场景六中,提供有一种加料装置5100,其结构与应用示例一中大致是相同的。区别在于,所述第一管段51211被设置为软管,所述驱动件5124被设置为蠕动泵,所述蠕动泵运作时将产生振动,振动传递至第一管段51211时,第一管段51211发生摆动以吸收该振动。
应用场景七
在应用场景七中,提供有一种加料装置5100,其结构与应用示例二中大致是相同的。区别在于,还包括第一管段连接件5122。所述第一管段连接件5122与所述称重组件5110相固定。所述第一管段连接件5122用于连接在料盒5140和第一管段51211之间,在此,由于所述第一管段连接件5122是固定设置的,因此其固定所述第一管段51211与其相连的端部,减少振动向料盒5140及与料盒5140相接触的称重组件5110的传递。
应用场景八
在应用场景八中,提供有一种加料装置5100,其结构与应用示例三中大致是相同的。区别在于,所述第二管段51212也被设置为软管。

在此过程中,由于第一管段51211两端被固定,并且第一管段51211为软管,因此第一管段51211通过摆动吸收了蠕动泵的振动,减少了振动向料盒5140和称重组件5110的传递,提高了称量的准确性。
由于食客对口味的敏感度,调料的稍许变化对烹调效果都有显著影响,因此,能够精确的对加料装置中的各个料盒中调料添加量进行计量,对最终烹饪效果影响显著;而对调料添加进行计量的过程中,由于各种偶尔环境因素,都会对计量精度产生影响;为此,本申请实施例提供了一种可以对加料装置的调料添加中的精准计量的环境因素进行隔离的技术方案。
图31是一种加料装置的示意性结构图。加料装置6100可以应用在烹饪设备中。
加料装置6100包括基座6110、负载平台6113和多个料盒6121至6127。负载平台上表面露出基座6110的上方。多个料盒6121至6127放置在负载平台6113上。
用户将多种调料分别投入各个料盒6121至6127;在本实施例的具体场景中,上述各个料盒中存放的是调料,并且以液态形式存放;各个料盒中具体存放何种调料,可以根据预先设定的存放要求存放,也可以由用户自主选择,并通过烹饪设备的操作界面进行标识。
为了将料盒中的调料加入烹饪设备的烹饪容器中,基座6110内对应每个料盒设置有对应的泵。每个泵用于将其对应的料盒中的调料抽出。
基座6110上设置有料输出接口6111和电接口6112。从料盒抽出的调料可以通过料输出接口6111经输料管道输送至烹饪设备的烹饪容器;电机口6112则连接相关的电源线。
烹饪容器可以位于烹饪设备的主体机;主体机可以通过上述电接口6112为加料装置6100供电,以及进行信号联系。
烹饪设备的主体机与烹饪设备的加料装置6100之间可以进行信息交互;主体机与加料装置6100可以通过有线或无线的方式进行通信。其中,无线通信方式可以为但不限于蓝牙、紫蜂(ZigBee)、无线保真技术(wireless-fidelity,Wi-Fi)等。
主机体与加料装置6100之间通过信息交互可以实现相应的各种功能。比如,设在主机体上的处理器可以基于主机体与加料装置间的信息交互,控制加料装置6100自动向位于主体机的烹饪容器621内添加调料、接收加料装置6100对料盒内是否无料等的检测结果。
加料装置可以设置有称重传感器,以检测各个料盒的出料量。示例性地,可以在料盒6121至6127中每个料盒下方设置称重传感器。在某个料盒出料的过程中,可以根据称重创传感器的检测结果,确定该料盒的出料量。根据该出料量,还可以确定该料盒中是否缺 料,在缺料的情况下提醒用户加料。例如,可以通过异常指示灯闪烁,蜂鸣器发出蜂鸣,或扬声器进行语音播报等方式,提醒用户补充调料。
或者,加料装置中的称重传感器可以用于检测多个料盒6121至6127的总重量。
称重传感器需要在静态环境才能实现精准的重量检测。用户误触料盒,或者由于空气流动使得料盒受到风力作用,都会对称重传感器的检测结果准确度产生影响。从而使得加料装置向烹饪容器中添加的调料量不准确。
菜品中需要的某些调料的用量可能很少,这些调料的添加量对制作的菜品的口感产生很大影响。加料装置向烹饪容器中添加的调料量不准确,可能导致烹饪设备制作的菜品的口感较差,影响用户体验。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种加料装置。下面结合图32至图36,对本申请实施例提供加料装置进行说明。
图32是本申请实施例提供的一种加料装置的基座的示意性结构图。加料装置的基座可以位于加料装置中。加料装置可以是烹饪设备的一部分,该烹饪设备用于实现自动化烹饪,具体可以是一种烹饪机器人。
基座6210包括重传感器6211和限位部6212。
基座6210可以用于放置料盒6220。料盒6220可以用于承载调料。
在所述基座6210内设置有称重传感器6211,称重传感器6211用于检测料盒6220的重量。
基座6210上放置的料盒6220的数量可以是一个或多个,称重传感器6211的数量也可以是一个或多个。每个称重传感器可以用于检测一个或多个料盒的重量。示例性地,称重传感器6211用于检测多个料盒6220的总重量。
基座6210用于支撑防护罩6230。防护罩6230罩住料盒6220。限位部6212用于限制防护罩6230与基座6210的位置关系,以使得防护罩6230与被罩住的料盒6220之间存在空隙。
通过在基座6210上设置限位部6212以使得罩住料盒6220的防护罩6230与料盒6220之间存在空隙,从而防护罩6230不会接触料盒6220,并且能够避免用户误触料盒6220,以及避免外部环境对料盒6220产生影响,从而减小外界因素对称重传感器6211称重结果的影响,提高称重传感器6211对料盒6220的重量检测结果的准确度。
基座6210中还可以设置有传输管道。传输管道用于传输所述料盒6220输出的物料。
传输管道可以与料盒6220一一对应。每个传输管道可以传输对应的料盒中盛装的物料。每个传输管道6213上可以设置有动力装置,为物料在传输管道中的传输提供动力。 动力装置例如可以是蠕动泵。
料盒6220中的物料经传输管道传输可以排出加料装置。
或者,基座6210还可以包括汇料装置。料盒6220中的物料经传输管道可以传输至汇料装置,汇料装置中盛装的物料可以经过输料管道排出加料装置。
所述限位部6212可以有多种实现方案;总体上,限位部6212是设置位于基座6210的侧壁或上表面的结构。以下介绍三种可能的限位部6212实现方式。
方式一,限位部6212可以是设置在基座6210的侧壁的环状凸起。环状凸起的上表面可以支撑防护罩6230的侧壁。限位部6212与基座6210的侧壁配合,可以限制防护罩6230侧壁的位置,从而限制与基座6210的位置关系。
方式二,限位部6212也可以是设置在基座6210上表面的凹槽。凹槽的底部可以支撑防护罩6230的侧壁。也就是说,如果防护罩6230放置在基座6210上,则防护罩6230的侧壁的底部可以位于凹槽中。凹槽的侧壁可以限制防护罩6230侧壁底部的位置,从而限制防护罩6230与基座6210的位置关系。
方式三,限位部6212是位于基座6210上表面的外边缘的下陷的环状台阶面。台阶面可以支撑防护罩6230的侧壁,即防护罩6230的侧壁支撑于台阶面。从而,台阶面的内侧边缘与基座上表面之间的高度差形成的台阶立面可以限制防护罩6230侧壁底部的位置,从而限制防护罩6230与基座6210的位置关系。
与方式一采用的环状凸起的方式相比,将限位部6212设计为基座6210上表面的环状凹槽或下陷的环状台阶面,使得基座6210和防护罩6230的结构更为简单,可以有效降低基座6210和防护罩6230的工艺复杂度。
而对比方式二的环状凹槽与方式三的下陷的环状台阶面这两种形式的限位部6212,将限位部6212设置为下陷的环状台阶面,可以沿着外沿清洁限位部6212,能够使基座6210的清洁过程更为容易。
上述凹槽、以及下陷的环状台阶面可以环绕在料盒6220所在区域6221之外。即如图33所示,凹槽、台阶面的内边缘可以环绕在料盒6220所在区域6221之外。也就是说,凹槽、台阶面环绕在料盒6220并且与料盒6220所在区域6221之间存在第一设定距离,不与区域6221接触。
显然,凹槽(显然开口向上)、下陷的环状台阶面位于基座6210的上表面。料盒6220所在区域6221,可以理解为料盒6220在基座6210的上表面的投影区域。凹槽、台阶面的内边缘环绕在料盒6220所在区域6221之外,防护罩6230采用更为简单的结构即可实现与料盒6220之间的空隙,降低防护罩6230的制造成本。
应当理解,靠近料盒6220在基座6210的上表面的投影区域中心的一侧可以理解为内侧,远离料盒6220在基座6210的上表面的投影区域中心的一侧可以理解为外侧。
示例性地,基座6210可以设置为长方体或圆柱体等具有竖直方向中心轴线的形状。靠近该竖直方向中心轴线的一侧可以理解为内侧,远离该中心轴线的一侧可以理解为外侧。
防护罩6230的侧壁可以从下至上向内侧倾斜。从而,防护罩的制作工艺较为简单,制造成本较低。
在防护罩6230的侧壁可以从下至上向内侧倾斜的情况下,为了避免防护罩6230与料盒6220接触,可以根据防护罩6230侧壁的倾斜程度对凹槽、下陷的环状台阶面的位置进行合理设置,以避免防护罩6230与料盒接触。
具体设置方式为,防护罩6230的侧壁顶端与底端之间倾斜的距离小于台阶面或凹槽的内边缘与料盒6220所在区域6221之间的距离。在上述设置方式下,可以避免防护罩6230的侧壁在基座6210上表面的投影落入料盒6220所在区域6221,从而使得防护罩6230与料盒6220之间存在空隙,避免防护罩6230接触料盒6220。
在限位部6212为位于基座6210上表面的外边缘的下陷的环状台阶面的情况下,防护罩6230的侧壁底部不超出台阶面的外边缘,可以使得包括基座6210、料盒6220和防护罩6230的加料装置的整体形态更加美观,并使得防护罩6230为料盒6220提供更好的密闭性以避免空气流动产生的风力作用在料盒6220上,提高称重传感器6211的检测结果的准确度。
可以通过对台阶面宽度的设置,使得防护罩6230的侧壁底部不超出基座6210的侧壁,即使得防护罩6230的侧壁底部不超出台阶面的外边缘。
示例性地,台阶面与防护罩6230的侧壁底部可以均为圆环,台阶面的宽度可以大于或等于防护罩6230的侧壁底部的内径减去台阶面的内径的差值与防护罩6230的侧壁底部的内外半径差值之和。
如图33所示,台阶面与防护罩6230的侧壁底部的横截面也可以均为长方形,第一方向是与台阶面的一个边垂直的方向,则台阶面该一个边的宽度l2,可以大于或等于沿第一方向防护罩6230的侧壁环状底部的第一内侧距离d1减去沿第一方向环状台阶面的第二内侧距离d2的差值与防护罩6230的侧壁底部的长方形环厚度l1之和。防护罩6230的侧壁底部的长方形环的位于各个边的部分的厚度可以是相等的。
第一内侧距离d1减去第二内侧距离d2的差值,可以理解为防护罩6230沿第一方向的最大移动距离。沿第一方向的最大移动距离,也可以理解为沿第一方向的最大活动范围。 该最大移动距离与防护罩6230的侧壁底部的长方形环厚度l1之和,可以理解为沿第一方向防护罩6230的侧壁底部的最外端与台阶面的内边缘之间的最大距离。
台阶面的宽度l2大于或等于防护罩6230的侧壁底部的最外端与台阶面的内边缘之间的最大距离,则防护罩6230的侧壁底部不会超出基座6210的侧壁。
也就是说,在台阶面沿任一方向的宽度,大于或等于防护罩6230的侧壁底部沿该任一方向的第一内边缘距离减去该台阶面沿该任一方向的第二内边缘距离的差值,与防护罩6230的侧壁底部沿该任一方向的宽度之和的情况下,防护罩6230的侧壁底部不超出台阶面的外边缘。
应当理解,防护罩6230放置在台阶面上,因此第一内边缘距离大于第二内边缘距离。
基座6210还可以包括负载平台。负载平台可以露出基座6210的上表面。负载平台可以用于承载料盒6220,称重传感器6211可以用于检测负载平台承载的物体重量。防护罩6230可以罩住负载平台。限位部6212使得防护罩6230的侧壁与负载平台之间存在空隙。
通过设置负载平台,料盒6220可以放置在负载平台上,称重传感器6211可以用于对负载平台承载料盒6220进行重量检测。负载平台的设置,使得对料盒6220总重量的检测更为简便,并且可以使得料盒6220的放置状态更加平稳。
限位部6212使得防护罩6230的侧壁与负载平台之间存在空隙,避免防护罩6230与负载平台接触,可以避免防护罩6230对称重传感器6211的检测结果产生影响。防护罩6230罩住负载平台,可以避免用户误触负载平台,从而减小外界因素对称重传感器6211称重结果的影响,提高称重传感器6211对料盒6220的重量检测结果的准确度。
负载平台的外边沿环绕料盒6220所在区域,并与该区域具有第二设定距离。从而,负载平台可以为料盒6220提供更稳定的支撑。
所述限位部6212可以设置在基座6210上表面且环绕在负载平台所在区域之外。
凹槽、台阶面的内边缘环绕在负载平台所在区域之外,防护罩6230可以采用更为简单的结构以实现与负载平台之间的空隙,降低防护罩6230的制造成本。
图34是本申请实施例提供的一种加料装置的示意性立体结构图。
在图34所示的加料装置6400中,防护罩6430可以放置在基座6410上。防护罩6430和基座6410的外壳可以采用塑料或其他材料。防护罩6430可以采用面状或网格状结构。采用面状结构,即防护罩6430具有一定密闭性,不仅能够避免用户误触料盒和负载平台,也可以避免料盒和负载平台受到风力或其他作用力。例如,防护罩6430可以采用面状结构的透明塑料材料。
图35是图34所示的加料装置去除防护罩6430后的示意图。
将防护罩6430拿起后,如图35所示,加料装置6400的基座上方可以放置多个料盒6420。该多个料盒6420可以放置在负载平台6440上。负载平台6440露出基座6410的上表面
图36是图34所示的加料装置的截面示意图。
在基座6410内设置有上固定架6413和下固定架6414,下固定架6414可以固定在基座6410内。基座6410内还设置有称重传感器6411,位于上固定架6413和下固定架6414之间。负载平台6440可以固定在上固定架6413上。
也就是说,负载平台6440与上固定架6413可以装配为一体,下固定架6414与基座6410可以装配为一体。
称重传感器6411可以用于检测负载平台6440上承载的物体的重量。多个料盒6420放置在负载平台6440上,即称重传感器6411可以用于多个料盒6420的总重量。
防护罩6430放置在基座6410上方的情况下,防护罩6430罩住负载平台6440和多个料盒6420。通过对防护罩6430与基座6410进行合理的结构设置,使得防护罩6430与负载平台6440之间、与多个料盒6420之间均存在空隙,防护罩6430不会碰到负载平台6440和多个料盒6420。从而,负载平台6440和多个料盒6420均处于相对静止的环境,称重传感器6411对该多个料盒6420总重量的检测不会受到外界干扰,提高称重结果的精度和准确度。
基座6410内还可以设置有传输管道(未示出)。传输管道用于传输多个料盒6420输出的物料。经传输管道的传输,多个料盒6420中盛装的物料可以排出加料装置。
图37是图36所示的加料装置中A区域的放大图。
基座6410上表面的外边缘设置有下陷的环状台阶面6412。台阶面6412支撑防护罩6430的侧壁。
利用台阶面6412限制防护罩6430与基座的相对位置,而台阶面6412的清洁方式较为简便,提高用户清洁加料装置6400所需的时间和成本。
台阶面6412与基座6110上表面之间存在高度差。台阶面6412的内边缘可以通过平面形状或曲面形状的连接面与基座6110的上表面连接。示例性地,该连接面可以从下至上向内侧倾斜。
台阶面6412的内边缘6412a环绕在负载平台6440所在区域的外侧。负载平台6440的外边沿环绕在多个料盒6420所在区域的外侧。负载平台6440的外边沿与多个料盒6420所在区域之间可以存在设定距离。负载平台6440可以为多个料盒6420提供稳定的支撑。
从而,防护罩6430的侧壁底部无需延伸至负载平台6440和多个料盒6420的下方, 可以具有更为简单的结构,制作成本较低。
防护罩6430的侧壁可以沿竖直方向或近似竖直的方向设置。为了降低工艺成本,防护罩6430的侧壁从下至上可以向内侧倾斜。
为了避免防护罩6430与多个料盒6420或负载平台6440接触,防护罩6430的侧壁可以位于负载平台6440所在区域之外。
也就是说,在防护罩放置在基座6410上方时,防护罩6430的侧壁在水平方向的投影可以环绕在负载平台6440所在区域之外。负载平台6440所在区域可以理解为负载平台6440在水平方向上的投影。
示例性地,防护罩6430的侧壁顶端与底端之间倾斜的距离可以小于台阶面6412的内边缘6412a与负载平台6440所在区域之间的距离d3
负载平台6440的外边沿环绕在多个料盒6420所在区域的外侧,即负载平台6440所在区域包括多个料盒6420所在区域。因此,防护罩6430的侧壁顶端与底端之间倾斜的距离也小于台阶面6412的内边缘6412a与多个料盒6420所在区域之间的距离。
根据防护罩6430的侧壁倾斜程度,确定台阶面6412的内边缘6412a的位置,从而可以降低防护罩6430的制造成本。
防护罩6430的侧壁底部可以设置有向外侧延伸的伸出部6431。设置伸出部6431,可以提高防护罩6430的强度,降低防护罩6430变形或损坏的可能性。
为了加料装置6400整体的美观和使用便利,可以合理设置台阶面6412的宽度,以避免防护罩6430的伸出部6431超出基座6410的侧壁。
台阶面6412的宽度l2可以大于防护罩6430的侧壁底部的厚度l1
防护罩6430的侧壁底部的厚度l1,可以理解为伸出部6431的最外端与基座6410上表面所在高度处的防护罩的6430侧壁内部位置6430a之间的水平距离。
台阶面6412与防护罩6430的侧壁底部也均为长方形,台阶面的宽度l2可以大于或等于防护罩6430的侧壁底部的第一内侧距离d1减去台阶面6412的第二内侧距离d2的差值与防护罩6430的侧壁底部的长方形环厚度l1之和。防护罩6230的侧壁底部的长方形环的位于各个边的部分的厚度可以是相等的。
第一内侧距离d1可以理解为位置6430a的高度处的防护罩的6430相对的两个内侧侧壁之间的距离。第二内侧距离d2可以理解为用于支撑防护罩的6430该相对的两个内侧侧壁的两段相对的台阶面6412的内边缘之间的距离。
第一内侧距离d1减去第二内侧距离d2的差值,可以理解为防护罩6430沿与长方形某个边的方向的最大移动距离。该最大移动距离与防护罩6430的侧壁底部的长方形环厚度l1 之和,可以理解为沿该方向伸出部6431的最外端与台阶面的内边缘之间的最大距离。
台阶面的宽度l2大于或等于伸出部6431最外端与台阶面的内边缘之间的最大距离,则伸出部6431不会超出基座6410的侧壁。
本申请实施例还提供一种加料装置,包括防护罩、料盒和上文所述的基座。
本申请实施例还提供一种烹饪设备,所述烹饪设备包括烹饪容器以及前文所述的加料装置。
结合具体的应用场景对本申请实施例提供的技术方案进行说明。
应用场景十一
烹饪设备被启动以开始烹饪一菜品。在烹饪过程中,烹饪设备的控制器输出出料指示信息,以使得加料装置的多个料盒中的装盐水和装糖水的两个料盒依次出料。称重传感器对该多个料盒的总重量进行周期性检测,处理器根据称重传感器的检测结果确定料盒的实际出料量。从而,实现对料盒进行出料量的监控。加料装置的防护罩罩住该多个料盒,并且防护罩与该多个料盒之间存在空隙。用户在装盐水和装糖水的两个料盒出料的过程中碰触加料装置,不会称重传感器的检测结果产生影响,提高对料盒出料量检测的准确度。
以上步骤所提供的介绍,只是用于帮助理解本申请的方法、结构及核心思想。对于本技术领域内的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请原理的前提下,还可以对本申请进行若干改进和修饰,这些改进和修饰也同样属于本申请权利要求保护范围之内。
