Description

訂製飲食輸送裝置Customized Diet Conveyor

本發明涉及訂製飲食輸送裝置。The present invention relates to a customized diet delivery device.

近年來,在餐廳中進行使用輸送裝置的飲食的提供(例如參照專利文獻1)。 專利文獻1:日本專利公開公報特開2016-152904號In recent years, food and drink using a conveying device has been provided in restaurants (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2016-152904

在輸送訂製的飲食的情況下,例如可以考慮將飲食的餐盤載放在從廚房到客人坐席的帶式輸送機上進行輸送。但是,在用一個帶式輸送機形成從廚房到客人坐席的輸送路徑的情況下,在帶式輸送機將餐盤向客人坐席運送的期間,無法在廚房將接下來的餐盤載放到帶式輸送機上。因此,難以高效地提供訂製飲食。尤其是,如果到達客人坐席的帶式輸送機的路徑長,則帶式輸送機的動作時間長,因此訂製飲食的提供效率顯著降低。In the case of conveying a customized meal, for example, it is conceivable to place a plate of the meal on a belt conveyor from the kitchen to the guest seat and convey it. However, when the conveyance path from the kitchen to the guest seat is formed by one belt conveyor, the next plate cannot be placed on the belt conveyor in the kitchen while the plate is being conveyed to the guest seat by the belt conveyor. on the conveyor. Therefore, it is difficult to efficiently provide the customized diet. In particular, when the route of the belt conveyor to the guest seat is long, the operation time of the belt conveyor is long, and thus the efficiency of providing the ordered meal is remarkably lowered.

因此,為了能夠在廚房將飲食高效地載放到帶式輸送機上,可以考慮在廚房側另行延伸設置帶式輸送機,如果載放到廚房側的帶式輸送機上的飲食的餐盤向客人坐席側的帶式輸送機移動,則停止廚房側的帶式輸送機,使得能夠載放接下來要輸送的飲食的餐盤。在採用這樣的系統構成的情況下,為了檢測載放在客人坐席側的帶式輸送機上的飲食的餐盤在客人坐席被拿起的情況,例如使用沿著帶式輸送機的長邊方向發出檢測光的光學式感測器是合理的。但是,該感測器由於需要不檢測載放在廚房側的帶式輸送機上的飲食的餐盤,所以受光部或者發光部配置在廚房側的帶式輸送機與客人坐席側的帶式輸送機之間。並且,為了防止由帶式輸送機輸送的飲食的餐盤與該感測器接觸,例如迫切需要使感測器為可動式的。Therefore, in order to efficiently load food and drink on the belt conveyor in the kitchen, it is conceivable to extend the belt conveyor on the kitchen side. When the belt conveyor on the side of the guest seat moves, the belt conveyor on the kitchen side stops, so that the plate of the food and drink to be conveyed next can be placed. In the case of adopting such a system configuration, in order to detect that the plate of food and drink placed on the belt conveyor on the side of the guest seat is picked up by the guest seat, for example, the use of the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor is used. Optical sensors that emit detection light are reasonable. However, since this sensor needs a plate that does not detect food and drink placed on the belt conveyor on the kitchen side, the light-receiving part or the light-emitting part is arranged on the belt conveyor on the kitchen side and the belt conveyor on the guest seat side. between machines. Furthermore, in order to prevent the plate of food and drink conveyed by the belt conveyor from coming into contact with the sensor, for example, it is necessary to make the sensor movable.

但是,由於光學式感測器的受光部與發光部需要精密地定位,所以如果感測器的一部分或者全部成為可動式的,則有可能導致機構的複雜化、感測器的檢測不良。However, since the light-receiving part and the light-emitting part of the optical sensor need to be precisely positioned, if part or all of the sensor is movable, the mechanism may be complicated and the detection of the sensor may be poor.

因此,本發明公開了一種能夠通過光學式感測器高精度地檢測飲食的餐盤的訂製飲食輸送裝置。Therefore, the present invention discloses a customized food delivery device capable of detecting a food tray with high accuracy through an optical sensor.

為了解決上述問題,在本發明中,在從由主帶式輸送機形成的廚房側到客人坐席的輸送路徑的延長線上偏離的位置通過副帶式輸送機形成輸送路徑,並且在兩種帶式輸送機之間設置中間帶式輸送機以及引導件,所述中間帶式輸送機具有到達主帶式輸送機形成的輸送路徑的延長線上與副帶式輸送機形成的輸送路徑的延長線上雙方的橫向寬度,所述引導件將載放在中間帶式輸送機上的飲食的餐盤從副帶式輸送機的終端部向主帶式輸送機的始端部引導,將檢測載放在主帶式輸送機上的飲食的餐盤的有無的光學式感測器的受光部或者發光部配置在主帶式輸送機形成的輸送路徑中的廚房側的延長線上。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, the conveyance path is formed by the sub-belt conveyor at a position deviated from the extension line of the conveyance path from the kitchen side formed by the main belt conveyor to the guest seat, and the two belt conveyors An intermediate belt conveyor and a guide are provided between the conveyors, and the intermediate belt conveyor has both an extension line reaching the conveying path formed by the main belt conveyor and an extension line of the conveying path formed by the sub belt conveyor. Horizontal width, the guide guides the food and drink plates placed on the intermediate belt conveyor from the end portion of the sub belt conveyor to the beginning end portion of the main belt conveyor, and the detection is placed on the main belt conveyor. The light-receiving part or the light-emitting part of the optical sensor for the presence or absence of a plate of food and drink on the conveyor is arranged on the extension line on the kitchen side in the conveyance path formed by the main belt conveyor.

When a conveyance start request is made, as shown in FIG. 4(A) , the main belt conveyor 20 , the intermediate belt conveyor 30M, and the sub belt conveyor 30 are operated, and the main belt conveyor 20 , and the sub belt conveyor 30 are placed on the sub belt conveyor 30 . The upper plates 1 are sequentially sent out to the intermediate belt conveyor 30M. As shown in FIG. 4(B) , the dishes 1 sent out from the end portion of the sub-belt conveyor 30 to the intermediate belt conveyor 30M are guided to the start end portion of the main belt conveyor 20 by the guides 30G1 and 30G2 . Then, as shown in FIG. 4(C) , the plate 1 sent out from the intermediate belt conveyor 30M to the main belt conveyor 20 moves toward the guest seat 3 at the conveyance destination on the main belt conveyor 20 . Then, as shown in (D) of FIG. 4 , the plate 1 conveyed by the main belt conveyor 20 arrives at the guest seat 3 of the conveyance destination soon and stops. Then, if the guest at the guest seat 3 removes the plate 1 and all the plates 1 disappear from the main belt conveyor 20, a positive judgment is made in step S108.

由訂製飲食輸送裝置10的控制裝置實現的主要的動作內容如以上所說明的那樣。在上述訂製飲食輸送裝置10中,如果載放在副帶式輸送機30上的全部的餐盤1都載放到主帶式輸送機20上,則即使在主帶式輸送機20動作的期間,副帶式輸送機30也停止,因此廚房2的工作人員能夠立即將下一個餐盤1載放到副帶式輸送機30上。因此,即使在飲食的訂製多的情況下,也能夠高效地將訂製的飲食向客人坐席輸送。上述訂製飲食輸送裝置10產生的這樣的效果在由主帶式輸送機20形成的輸送路徑長的餐廳中特別顯著。The main contents of the operation realized by the control device of the customized meal delivery device 10 are as described above. In the above-described food and drink conveying apparatus 10, if all the plates 1 placed on the sub-conveyor 30 are placed on the main belt conveyor 20, even when the main belt conveyor 20 is operating During this period, the sub-belt conveyor 30 is also stopped, so that the staff of the kitchen 2 can immediately place the next plate 1 on the sub-belt conveyor 30 . Therefore, even when there are many orders for food and drink, the ordered food and drink can be efficiently delivered to the guest seats. Such an effect produced by the above-mentioned custom-made food conveying apparatus 10 is particularly remarkable in a restaurant with a long conveying path formed by the main belt conveyor 20 .

並且,如果是上述實施方式的訂製飲食輸送裝置10,則通過中間帶式輸送機30M以及引導件30G1、30G2,在主帶式輸送機20的輸送路徑的延長線上沒有副帶式輸送機30,因此,檢測載放在主帶式輸送機20上的餐盤1的有無的光學式感測器24的受光部24J以及檢測載放在副帶式輸送機30上的餐盤1的有無的光學式感測器34的受光部34J不會妨礙餐盤1的去路。並且,光學式感測器24的受光部24J以及光學式感測器34的受光部34J無需為了避免與餐盤1的接觸而設為可動式,因此導致機構的複雜化、感測器的檢測不良的可能性也低。Furthermore, in the case of the custom-made food and drink conveying apparatus 10 of the above-described embodiment, there is no sub-belt conveyor 30 on the extension line of the conveyance path of the main belt conveyor 20 via the intermediate belt conveyor 30M and the guides 30G1 and 30G2 Therefore, the light-receiving portion 24J of the optical sensor 24 for detecting the presence or absence of the plate 1 placed on the main belt conveyor 20 and the detection of the presence or absence of the plate 1 placed on the sub belt conveyor 30 The light-receiving portion 34J of the optical sensor 34 does not obstruct the passage of the plate 1 . In addition, the light-receiving portion 24J of the optical sensor 24 and the light-receiving portion 34J of the optical sensor 34 do not need to be movable in order to avoid contact with the plate 1, which leads to complication of the mechanism and detection of the sensor. The possibility of bad is also low.

圖10是將第四變形例的訂製飲食輸送裝置的副帶式輸送機附近放大的圖。訂製飲食輸送裝置10除了用於控制輸送裝置的感測器以外,例如也可以具備用於監視飲食的狀態的感測器。例如如圖10所示,訂製飲食輸送裝置10還具備相機S9,所述相機S9拍攝載放在中間帶式輸送機30M上的餐盤1。如果訂製飲食輸送裝置10具備這樣的相機S9,則能夠取得通過中間帶式輸送機30M的餐盤1的圖像,因此,例如能夠通過由相機S9取得的圖像的自動分析等檢測向主帶式輸送機20送出的飲食的外觀有無異常。FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the sub-belt conveyor of the made-to-order food and drink conveying device of the fourth modification. In addition to the sensor for controlling the delivery device, the customized meal delivery device 10 may include, for example, a sensor for monitoring the state of eating and drinking. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 , the customized food delivery device 10 is further provided with a camera S9 that photographs the plate 1 placed on the intermediate belt conveyor 30M. If the ordered-meal conveying apparatus 10 is provided with such a camera S9, since an image of the plate 1 passing through the intermediate belt conveyor 30M can be acquired, it is possible to detect, for example, an automatic analysis of the image acquired by the camera S9. Whether or not there is any abnormality in the appearance of the food and drink fed from the belt conveyor 20 .

相機S9可以是始終拍攝載放在中間帶式輸送機30M上的飲食的相機,也可以是與中間帶式輸送機30M動作同時進行拍攝的相機。由相機S9取得的圖像能夠用於確認載放在餐盤4上的壽司的翻倒、載放在壽司飯上的食材的位置偏離、其他各種異常的有無。圖像可以是廚房的工作人員在目視的監視中參照的圖像,或者也可以是由分析圖像而判斷有無異常的圖像分析裝置參照的圖像。The camera S9 may be a camera that always photographs the food and drink placed on the intermediate conveyor 30M, or may be a camera that photographs simultaneously with the operation of the intermediate conveyor 30M. The image acquired by the camera S9 can be used to confirm the overturning of the sushi placed on the plate 4, the positional deviation of the ingredients placed on the sushi rice, and the presence or absence of various other abnormalities. The image may be an image referred to by a kitchen worker during visual monitoring, or an image referred to by an image analysis device that analyzes the image and determines whether or not there is an abnormality.

另外,由相機S9取得的圖像例如也可以用於帶式輸送機的狀態監視。由相機S9取得的圖像例如可以用於帶式輸送機的帶表面的污垢、帶的綻開等帶本身的損傷、異物混入帶式輸送機的間隙部分等各種異常的感測。In addition, the image acquired by the camera S9 can also be used for the state monitoring of a belt conveyor, for example. The image acquired by the camera S9 can be used for sensing various abnormalities such as dirt on the belt surface of the belt conveyor, damage to the belt itself such as belt rips, and foreign matter entering the gap of the belt conveyor.
