Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main modules of a food preparation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vegetable preparation system 10, including: a server 11 and a storage cabinet 12; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the storage cabinet 12 includes: at least one storage bay 121, a communication module 122, and a processing module 123;

the processing module 123 is configured to determine a current storage state of the at least one storage cell 121, and send the current storage state to the server 11 through the communication module 122;

the server 11 is used for determining information of dishes to be prepared; determining a first storage cell in an idle state from the at least one storage cell 121 according to the information of the dishes to be prepared and the current storage state of the at least one storage cell 121, and sending a first control message to the storage cabinet 12 through the communication module 122, where the first control message indicates identification information of the first storage cell; and recording current dish information respectively corresponding to the at least one storage grid 121, wherein the current dish information indicates the name and the number of dishes.

And the processing module 123 in the storage cabinet is configured to control the first storage cell corresponding to the identification information to send a stock preparation prompt according to the first control message received by the communication module 122, so that the operating device stores the dish corresponding to the information of the dish to be prepared to the first storage cell according to the stock preparation prompt.

In order to keep dishes fresh and store the dishes, the storage cabinet is generally a refrigerator or a freezer. Under different scenes, the server can determine the dish information to be prepared according to different information. For example, before daily business, the server may determine a currently required dish according to historical dish information, and determine the information of the dish to be prepared according to the currently required dish and the dish stored in the storage grid. The historical dish information may be a dish name and a dish number corresponding to a dish stir-frying task received by the dish preparation system in a certain period in the past, and the dish number may be an average number of dishes in the period. For example, during the past week, the dish preparation system received dish frying tasks that include recipe 1 and recipe 2. The dishes needed by the dish type 1 are dish A and dish B, the quantity of the dish A needed by frying one dish type 1 is 100g, and the quantity of the dish B needed by frying is 200 g. The dishes required by the dish type 2 are dish A and dish C, the quantity of the dish A required by frying one dish type 2 is 50g, and the quantity of the dish C required by frying one dish is 300 g. The number of received dish frying tasks in the week is shown in table 1 below, and the number of different dishes and the names and numbers of dishes required by the different dishes shown in table 1 can be used as historical dish information.

TABLE 1

Date	Vegetable formula 1	Vegetable type 2
			Monday	20	30
Tuesday	15	40
			Wednesday	10	28
Thursday	40	12
			Friday of week	28	18
Saturday	25	25
			Sunday	16	36

As can be seen from table 1, when the total number of recipes 1 is 154 and the total number of recipes 2 is 189 during the week, the average consumption of dish a is 3550g, the average consumption of dish B is 4400g, and the average consumption of dish C is 8100g per day during the week. Then, the average consumption of each dish per day in the past week may be taken as the number of currently required dishes. That is, the server determines the currently required dish according to historical dish information (the number of each dish, the name and the number of dishes required by each dish) in the past week, wherein the currently required dish comprises the name of the currently required dish and the number of the currently required dish; then, according to the dishes stored in the storage grid, the information of the dishes to be prepared, namely the information of the dishes which need to be supplemented can be determined. For example, when the number of dish a, the number of dish B, and the number of dish C stored in the storage compartment is 1750g, 2000g, and 4500g, the number of dish a, the number of dish B, and the number of dish C that need to be supplemented, indicated by the to-be-prepared dish information, is 1800g, 2400g, and 3600 g.

It should be mentioned that the dishes stored in one storage grid generally correspond to one dish type, that is, each storage grid can store a plurality of dishes corresponding to the same dish type, and the number of each dish is the number required by one dish type. Also taking the above-mentioned dish formulas 1 and 2 as examples, the storage grid 1 stores dishes corresponding to the dish formula 1, that is, the storage grid 1 stores 100g of dish a and 200g of dish B; storage bay 2 stores dishes corresponding to dish type 2, that is, storage bay 2 stores dish a 50g and dish C300 g.

Then, when the dish information to be prepared is determined according to the historical dish information, the dishes to be supplemented and the number of the dishes can be determined from the dish type dimension. Still taking the information shown in table 1 as the historical dish information for example, the total number of dishes 1 is 154 and the total number of dishes 2 is 189 for a week, and then the average number of dishes 1 per day is 22 and the average number of dishes 2 per day is 27 for the week. And taking the average number as the currently required dishes, and if the dishes corresponding to the dish type 1 and the dish corresponding to the dish type 2 stored in each storage grid in the storage cabinet are 10 parts and 15 parts, determining that the information of the dishes to be prepared is 12 parts of the dishes corresponding to the dish type 1 and 12 parts of the dishes corresponding to the dish type 2.

In addition, the server can also determine the information of the dishes to be prepared by utilizing the algorithm model, for example, historical dish information is used as the input of the algorithm model, and the output of the algorithm model is used as the information of the dishes to be prepared.

Further, the server can determine that 24 storage grids in an idle state are needed according to the information of the dishes to be prepared, so as to respectively store the dishes corresponding to the 12 dishes in the formula 1 and the dishes corresponding to the 12 dishes in the formula 2. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dishes are stored in a manner that one dish is stored in one storage cell as described above. It will be appreciated that the way in which the dishes are stored (by type of dish or by type of dish) only affects the process of storing or retrieving the dishes by the operating equipment or the operator, for example, when the dishes are stored according to the types of the dishes, the operating equipment can take out the dishes corresponding to one dish from one storage grid, when storing the dishes according to the types of the dishes, the operating device may need to take the dish corresponding to one dish from a plurality of storage compartments, but different dish storage modes do not influence the dish preparation process (the processes of determining the information of the dishes to be prepared, determining the storage grid in an idle state, sending a stock preparation prompt and the like) and the execution process of the dish processing task, therefore, for convenience of description, the following embodiments describe the dish preparation system provided by the embodiments of the present invention by taking the way of storing according to the dish type as an example.

In the embodiment of the invention, another scenario for determining the information of the dishes to be prepared is as follows: and determining the information of the dishes to be prepared when the dishes are short of the materials. Specifically, the server may receive the dish processing task, and determine the information of the dishes to be prepared according to a difference between the second number and the first number if the difference between the second number of the dishes required by the dish processing task and the first number of the dishes corresponding to the dish processing task, which is stored in the storage grid, is smaller than a preset threshold.

For example, the dish processing task is a dish frying task, and the dish frying task is executed by taking out the corresponding dish from the storage grid and frying the dish. The dish frying task indicates a dish name and a first number of dishes required by the dish frying task. For example, when the name of the task of cooking dishes is "cooking of 10 dishes formula 1", since the server records current dish information corresponding to each storage bay in the storage cabinet, the current dish information indicating the name of the dish and the number of the dishes, the server may determine the second number of the dishes corresponding to the task of cooking dishes, which are stored in the storage bay, according to the current dish information. From this, the difference between the second number and the first number can be calculated. When the difference value is smaller than the preset threshold value, the server can determine the dish information to be prepared, so that the sum of the third number m + the second number n indicated by the dish information to be prepared is not smaller than the sum of the first number k and the preset threshold value a, namely, m + n-k is larger than or equal to a.

It is understood that the current menu information may directly include the menu name and the menu number, or may represent the corresponding menu name and menu number by specific fields, for example, the fields "a" represents menu a, "B" represents menu B, "100" represents number 100g, and "200" represents number 200 g. Then, if the current dish information corresponding to storage bay 1 is a100B200, it indicates that the dish names stored in storage bay 1 are dish a and dish B, and the corresponding dish numbers are 100g and 200g, respectively.

It should be noted that when the dishes are stored in the storage grid according to the types of the dishes, the dish frying task can indicate the name of the dishes and the number of the dishes, and then the second number determined by the server is the number of the dishes indicated by the dish frying task stored in the storage grid. In this example, the task of cooking the dishes is "cooking 10 dishes in formula 1", if the server determines that 12 storage compartments store dishes corresponding to formula 1, that is, the second quantity is 12, and if the preset threshold is 5, the server may determine that the difference between the second quantity and the first quantity is 2, that is, less than 5, then the information of the dishes to be prepared, which may be determined by the server at this time, is 3 dishes in formula 1, that is, 3 dishes in formula 1 need to be supplemented.

In addition, when the server determines that the difference value between the second quantity and the first quantity of the dishes required by the dish frying task and stored in the storage grid is smaller than the preset threshold value, the server sends a material shortage prompt about the dishes required by the dish frying task to the display, so that the display displays the material shortage prompt, and the operating equipment or the operating personnel supplements corresponding dishes according to the material shortage prompt. Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, when the difference value between the second quantity of the dishes stored in the storage grid and the first quantity indicated by the dish frying task is smaller than the preset threshold value, that is, when the remaining quantity of the dishes stored in the storage cabinet is small, the server determines the information of the dishes to be prepared, and enables the display to display the corresponding material shortage prompt, so that the corresponding dishes can be supplemented in time, and the situation that the next dish frying task of the current dish frying task cannot be completed due to insufficient remaining quantity of the dishes is avoided. In this example, if the number of remaining dish formulas 1 in the storage cabinet is 2 after the current dish frying task is executed, and if the dish corresponding to dish formula 1 is not supplemented in time, if the next dish frying task is received during or after the current dish frying task is executed, and the dish frying task also indicates dish formula 1, smooth execution of the next dish frying task may be affected due to insufficient remaining amount of dish formulas 1 in the storage cabinet.

In addition, when the server determines the dish information to be prepared according to the difference between the second quantity and the first quantity, the sum of the third quantity m + the second quantity n indicated by the dish information to be prepared is not less than the sum of the first quantity k and a preset threshold a, namely, m + n-k is larger than or equal to a. That is, the information of the dishes to be prepared determined in the above example is 3 dishes, and formula 1 is the minimum amount to be supplemented for the dishes. When the server determines the information of the dish to be prepared, the information of the dish to be prepared can be directly determined according to the minimum amount, and the information of the dish to be prepared can also be determined according to a preset floating range, for example, each dish type corresponds to a floating range, the floating range corresponding to the dish type 1 is 5-10, and then the server can determine that the information of the dish to be prepared is 8-13 supplementary dish types 1. When the material shortage prompt is output, the server can directly output the range indicated by the material shortage information to the display, if the material shortage prompt is '8-13 parts of dish type 1 need to be supplemented', or optionally output one quantity in the range to the display, if the material shortage prompt is '10 parts of dish type 1 need to be supplemented'.

As shown in fig. 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, the dish preparation system may further include a display 13, where the display 13 may further display information of the dish to be prepared and various information such as the corresponding first storage grid, the current remaining amount of the dish or the dish type, in addition to the material shortage prompt. After determining the information of the dish to be prepared and the first storage grid for storing the dish corresponding to the information of the dish to be prepared, the server 11 may send the identification information of the first storage grid and the information of the dish to be prepared to the display 13, and the display 13 may correspondingly display the identification information of the first storage grid and the information of the dish to be prepared, so that an operator or operating equipment correspondingly stores the dish corresponding to the information of the dish to be prepared in the first storage grid according to the identification information correspondingly displayed by the display and the information of the dish to be prepared.

In this embodiment, after the information of the dish to be prepared and the first storage cell are determined, the server not only enables the first storage cell to send a preparation prompt through the first control message, but also enables the display to correspondingly display the information of the dish to be prepared and the first storage cell. Therefore, the operator or the operating equipment can conveniently correspondingly store the dishes corresponding to the information of the dishes to be prepared to the first storage grid according to the information displayed by the display. And if the information of other dishes to be prepared is determined in the preparation process, the display content can be newly added through the display so as to correspondingly display the information of other dishes to be prepared and the corresponding first storage grid. For example, in the process of executing the material preparation of the dish formula 1, at this time, the display only correspondingly displays the identification information of the dish formula 1 and the corresponding first storage grid, and if the dish formula 1 has not finished the material preparation, the material preparation information about the dish formula 2 is received, then the display can newly display the identification information of the dish formula 2 and the corresponding first storage grid, because the material preparation prompts sent by the first storage grid corresponding to the dish formula 1 and the first storage grid corresponding to the dish formula 2 may be the same, if the first storage grid sends the material preparation prompt through a light, the way of correspondingly displaying the information of the dish to be prepared and the identification information of the first storage grid through the display is more favorable for an operator or operating equipment to correspondingly store the dish corresponding to the information of the dish to be prepared to the first storage grid according to the information displayed by the display.

It can be understood that the display correspondingly displays the information of the dishes to be prepared and the first storage grid in the dish dimension. For example, when the server determines that the information of the dish to be prepared is 12 dishes corresponding to the dish formula 1, and the dish corresponding to the dish formula 2 is 12 dishes, and determines that the first storage grid for storing the 12 dishes formula 1 is 1 to 12, and the first storage grid for storing the 12 dishes formula 2 is 13 to 24, then, the information of the dish to be prepared correspondingly displayed by the display may be as shown in table 2 below, or may be as shown in table 3 below. It can be understood that only part of the information to be prepared and the identification information of the corresponding first storage cell are shown in table 2, where the ellipsis part is the identification information of the corresponding dish style and the corresponding first storage cell when actually displayed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the display may further display a corresponding operation button, such as an operation button corresponding to a stock preparation operation. For example, when the display correspondingly displays the information of the dish to be prepared and the identification information of the first storage grid in the manner shown in table 3, the display may also correspondingly display a preparation button corresponding to the information of the dish to be prepared, for example, the display may display an operation button corresponding to a preparation operation in the manner shown in table 4.

TABLE 4

Ready forFood and vegetable information	Identification information of a first storage compartment	Operating button

The display may be in various forms, such as a large display screen, a PC terminal, a mobile terminal, or the like, and the dish preparation system may include one display or a plurality of displays. For example, the dish preparation system may employ two displays (a large display screen and a mobile terminal), the large display screen may be used to correspondingly display the information of the dish to be prepared and the identification information of the first storage cell, and the mobile terminal may display the operation button. Of course, the dish preparation system can also only adopt one display, and the display can simultaneously display various information such as dish information to be prepared, identification information of the first storage grid, operation buttons and the like.

In addition, after the server determines the dish information to be prepared, the dish type and the quantity of the dish type corresponding to the dish information to be prepared can be sent to the display, so that the display can correspondingly display the dish type and the quantity of the dish type, and the operation button corresponding to the preparation operation is correspondingly displayed after the dish type of the dish needs to be supplemented. For example, when the information of the dish to be prepared is 12 dishes corresponding to the dish formula 1 and 12 dishes corresponding to the dish formula 2, the information displayed by the display may be as shown in table 5.

TABLE 5

Information of dishes to be prepared	Identification information of a first storage compartment	Prepared material portion	Operating button

The preparation number can be set by a material preparation worker or material preparation equipment in a user-defined mode, the maximum value which can be set is the dish type number corresponding to the dish information to be prepared, and the minimum value is 1. When a material preparing person or material preparing equipment prepares materials of corresponding dishes, the material preparing number of each dish type corresponding to the information of the dishes to be prepared can be set firstly, then the operation buttons corresponding to the material preparing operation respectively corresponding to each dish type on the display are clicked, the display can transmit the corresponding dish type and the material preparing number to the server, the server can change the current storage state of the corresponding first storage grid from an idle state to a locking state, a first control message is issued through the communication module of the storage cabinet, so that the processing module of the storage cabinet changes the current storage state of the corresponding first storage grid to the locking state, and the corresponding first storage grid is controlled to send a material preparing prompt according to the identification information of the first storage grid indicated by the first control message.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first storage compartment may issue a stock preparation prompt via a light emitter. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the dish preparation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include a dish container 14; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the dish container 14 is configured to store dishes corresponding to the information of the dishes to be prepared, place the dishes corresponding to the information of the dishes to be prepared in the first storage grid, and take out the dishes from the second storage grid when executing the task of processing the dishes.

In one embodiment of the present invention, with continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the storage compartment 121 may include: a photoelectric sensor 1211, a light emitter 1212 and a lattice body 1213; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

as shown in fig. 4, when the dish container 14 is placed on the grid body 1213, the dish container 14 can block the light signal emitted by the light emitter;

the processing module 123 is configured to control, according to the first control message, the light emitter 1212 in the first storage bay to emit the optical signal to emit the stock preparation prompt, and when receiving the first signal sent by the photoelectric sensor 1211 of the first storage bay, determine that the current storage state of the first storage bay is an idle state; when receiving a second signal sent by the photoelectric sensor 1211 of the first storage grid, determining that the dish container is placed in the first storage grid, and updating the current storage state of the first storage grid to an occupied state;

the photoelectric sensor 1211 of the first storage cell sends a first signal to the controller when sensing the optical signal; when the dish container 14 is placed in the first storage bay, the photoelectric sensor 1211 of the first storage bay sends a second signal to the processor.

When the communication module of the storage cabinet receives the first control message sent by the server, the first control message is forwarded to the processing module of the storage cabinet. The processing module controls the light emitter of the corresponding first storage cell to emit a light signal according to the identification information indicated by the first control message, for example, when the light emitter is a light bulb, the light emitter is controlled to light. When the illuminator emits light, since the first storage cell is still in an idle state at the moment, that is, no dish container exists in the first storage cell, the light signal emitted by the illuminator is not shielded by the dish container, and the light signal can be used as a stock preparation prompt to remind stock preparers or stock preparation equipment that the first storage cell is in an idle state. Of course, if the server locks the first storage cell, the current storage state of the first storage cell recorded by the server at this time is a locked state, but for the material preparer or the material preparer, the idle state here indicates that the first storage cell is not put into the dish container, that is, the corresponding dish is not put into the first storage cell, so that for the material preparer or the material preparer, it can be determined that the first storage cell is in the idle state according to the light signal emitted by the light emitter.

As shown in fig. 3, when the dish container is not placed in the first storage grid, the photoelectric sensor in the same first storage grid as the light emitter can sense the light signal emitted by the light emitter, and at this time, the photoelectric sensor can send a first signal (such as a high-frequency signal) to the processing module, and if the movement direction of the dish container is the up-down direction shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first signal is a rising edge signal, and the processing module can determine that the dish and the dish container are not placed in the first storage grid according to the first signal.

When a material preparing person or material preparing equipment prepares the dishes corresponding to the information of the dishes to be prepared, and stores the dishes in the dish container, the dish container is put into the first storage grid with the light on one by one. As shown in fig. 4, after the dish container is placed in the first storage cell, since the dish container blocks the optical signal emitted by the illuminator, the photoelectric sensor cannot sense the optical signal emitted by the illuminator, and the photoelectric sensor sends a second signal (e.g., a low-frequency signal) to the processing module, when the movement direction of the dish container is the up-down direction shown in fig. 3 and 4, the second signal is a falling edge signal, the processor can determine that the first storage cell is in an occupied state according to the second signal, that is, the dish and the dish container are placed in the corresponding first storage cell, and the processor can report the state change of the first storage cell to the server through the communication module, so that the server updates the current storage state of the first storage cell in real time.

After each dish container with dishes is placed into the corresponding first storage grid, the server can receive the current storage state (occupation state) of each first storage grid returned by the storage cabinet, can determine that the dishes are prepared, correspondingly records dish information corresponding to each storage grid, and can inform the storage cabinet to enable the illuminator in the first storage grid to stop emitting the optical signal.

The process is shown in fig. 3, wherein a dotted line represents a dish container, a solid line represents a first storage grid, and an arrow represents a movement direction of the dish container, and it can be understood that the sizes and shapes of the dish container and the storage grid shown in fig. 3 are only examples. After corresponding dish containers are placed in each first storage grid, the server can determine that the dish preparation is completed. When the corresponding dish needs to be fried or cleaned, the dish container is taken out from the corresponding second storage compartment, so that the preparation person or the preparation equipment can take out the corresponding dish from the dish container, as shown in fig. 4, wherein the dotted line represents the dish container, the solid line represents the first storage compartment, and the arrow represents the moving direction of the dish container. It is understood that the first storage compartment in fig. 3 and the second storage compartment in fig. 4 are both storage compartments in the storage cabinet, and the storage compartments when the dish container is stored and the storage compartments when the dish container is taken out are distinguished for convenience of description only.

According to the embodiment, the server can also obtain the dish processing task and determine the second storage grid corresponding to the dish processing task; sending a second control message to the storage cabinet through the communication module, wherein the second control message indicates identification information of the second storage slot; sending the dish processing task and the identification information of the second storage grid to the display;

the display can be used for correspondingly displaying the dish processing task and the identification information of the second storage grid;

the processing module may be configured to control the second storage grid to send a material taking prompt according to the second control message received by the communication module, so that an operating device takes out dishes corresponding to the dish processing task from the second storage grid according to the material taking prompt and/or information displayed by the display, so as to execute the dish processing task.

It will be appreciated that the process of removing the dish from the second storage compartment in the bin is the reverse of the process of placing the dish into the first storage compartment in the bin. Since the process of putting dishes into the first storage compartment has been described in detail in the above embodiments, the process of performing a task of processing dishes, that is, taking dishes out of the second storage compartment, will be briefly described below.

Specifically, after the server obtains the dish processing task, the second storage grid corresponding to the dish processing task can be determined according to the name and the number of the dishes indicated by the dish processing task. Then, the server sends a second control message to the storage cabinet through a communication module of the storage cabinet, so that the processor in the storage cabinet controls the corresponding second storage grid to send a material taking prompt (for example, the light emitter in the second storage grid is controlled to emit light), the server also can enable the display to correspondingly display the dish processing task and the identification information of the second storage grid, and the material preparing personnel and the material preparing equipment can take out the dish container from the corresponding second storage grid according to the information displayed by the display. After the dish container is taken out of the second storage grid, the server can update the current storage state of the second storage grid from the occupied state to the idle state, so that the second storage grid can store other dishes again.

Specifically, when the dish processing task is a dish stir-frying task, the dish stir-frying task indicates a dish name and a first number of required dishes, and the server is configured to determine a second storage bin corresponding to the dish stir-frying task from the at least one storage bin according to the current dish information and the dish name indicated by the dish stir-frying task.

For example, when the dish processing task is a stir-frying task of 5 dishes in formula 1, the server may determine 5 second storage slots in which dishes in formula 1 are stored according to the current dish information corresponding to each storage slot recorded by the server. If the number of the second storage cells storing the dish 1 is larger than 5, the server can randomly select 5 second storage cells. Then, the server sends a second control message to the storage cabinet through a communication module of the storage cabinet, so that the processor in the storage cabinet controls the corresponding second storage grid to send a material taking prompt (for example, the light emitter in the second storage grid is controlled to emit light), the server also can enable the display to correspondingly display the dish processing task and the identification information of the second storage grid, and the material preparing personnel and the material preparing equipment can take out the dish container from the corresponding second storage grid according to the information displayed by the display so as to take out the corresponding dish for stir-frying.

In addition, when the dishes in the storage cabinet need to be cleaned due to long storage time of the dishes, the dish preparing and preparing system can also execute a task of cleaning the dishes. In one embodiment of the invention, when the dish processing task is a dish cleaning task, the dish cleaning task indicates a third storage cell where the dish to be cleaned is located; the server is configured to send a third control message to the storage enclosure through the communication module, where the third control message indicates identification information of the third storage slot; sending the identification information of the dish cleaning task and the third storage grid to the display;

the display is used for correspondingly displaying the dish cleaning task and the identification information of the third storage grid;

and the processing module is used for controlling the third storage grid to send a cleaning prompt according to the third control message received by the communication module, so that the operating equipment can take out the dishes to be cleaned according to the cleaning prompt and/or the information displayed by the display.

It will be appreciated that the process of performing the dish cleaning task and the dish frying task is substantially the same during the dish removal phase. Wherein, the material suggestion of getting that the second storage bin sent and the clearance suggestion that the third storage bin sent can be the same, if the optical signal that the squaring light ware that is corresponding storage bin sent, the material suggestion of getting that the second storage bin sent and the clearance suggestion that the third storage bin sent also can be inequality, if adopt the suggestion of the light representation different grade type of different colours.

The dish cleaning task may be initiated actively by the stock preparer, or by the stock preparation equipment, which, in one embodiment of the invention, the display can display the operation buttons corresponding to the prepared materials and also can display the operation buttons corresponding to the cleaned dishes, after the preparation personnel or the preparation personnel click the operation buttons corresponding to the cleaned dishes, the server can receive the corresponding dish cleaning tasks, then the server determines a third storage grid corresponding to the dish cleaning task, updates the current state of the third storage grid to be a locking state, and causes the third storage cell to emit a cleaning prompt, such as by emitting a light signal through a light emitter in the third storage cell, to emit a cleaning prompt, and meanwhile, the display correspondingly displays the dish cleaning task and the identification information of the third storage cell, so that the material preparing personnel and the material preparing equipment take out the dish container in the third storage cell according to the cleaning prompt of the third storage cell. When the dish container is taken out from the third storage grid, the photoelectric sensor in the third storage grid can sense an optical signal, at the moment, the photoelectric sensor sends a first signal to the processing module in the storage cabinet to inform the processing module that the dish container is taken out from the third storage grid, the processing module can report the current storage state of the third storage grid to the server, the server releases the locking state of the third storage grid, updates the current storage state to an idle state and can inform the storage cabinet to enable the illuminator in the corresponding third storage grid to stop emitting light. And when the current storage state of each third storage cell corresponding to the dish cleaning task is updated to be an idle state, the dish cleaning task is finished, and the server modifies the corresponding current dish information, namely deletes the dish name and the quantity of the dishes corresponding to the third storage cell.

It will be appreciated that when a dish cleaning task is performed, some of the dishes in the holding cabinet are cleaned, which may result in the dishes being out of stock. In this case, the server can make the display send out the short-of-material suggestion of corresponding vegetable to make operating equipment or operating personnel in time supply corresponding vegetable according to the short-of-material suggestion.

In addition, the dish material preparation system provided by the embodiment of the invention can further comprise a voice broadcasting module, when the display sends a material shortage prompt, the server can also control the voice broadcasting module to broadcast the corresponding material shortage prompt so as to prompt the material preparer or the material preparing equipment from multiple dimensions, and the material preparer or the material preparing equipment can supplement corresponding dishes in time.

The dish preparation system provided by the embodiment of the invention can further comprise an operation device, wherein the operation device can store dishes corresponding to the dish information to be prepared to the first storage grid according to the preparation prompt, and can also take out dishes or dish containers from the corresponding second storage grid or third storage grid, so that the dish preparation system can realize full automation of dish preparation, dish frying and dish cleaning, and the efficiency of dish preparation and dish processing is improved.

According to the dish preparation system disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the processing module in the storage cabinet automatically determines the current storage state of the storage grid and reports the current storage state to the server. After the server determines the information of the dishes to be prepared, a first storage cell capable of storing the dishes corresponding to the information to be prepared can be determined according to the current storage state of the storage cell, and a corresponding first control message is sent to the storage cabinet, so that the storage cabinet can control the first storage cell to send a material preparation prompt according to the first control message, and the operation equipment can store the dishes corresponding to the information to be prepared to the first storage cell according to the material preparation prompt. From this, fix a position out the first storage bin that is in idle state from a plurality of storage bins fast through the server to make first storage bin send the suggestion of prepareeing material, so that deposit first storage bin with the dish that treats the dish information of prepareeing material correspondence fast, thereby improve the efficiency that the dish was prepared material. And the server automatically records the current dish information corresponding to the storage grid, so that the storage grid where the dish is located is conveniently and quickly positioned when the dish is taken out in the follow-up process, and the execution efficiency of the dish processing task is improved.

As shown in fig. 5, another form of dish preparation system 50 is provided in one embodiment of the present invention, and unlike the dish preparation system 10 shown in fig. 1, the dish preparation system 50 does not require a separate server, but rather integrates a processor with a storage bay. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the dish preparation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention may include: at least one storage cell 51, processor 52 and support 53; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

said at least one storage compartment 51 and said processor 52 are arranged on said support 53;

said processor 52 for determining a current storage state of said at least one storage bay 51; determining the information of dishes to be prepared; determining a first storage cell in an idle state from the at least one storage cell according to the information of the dishes to be prepared and the current storage state of the at least one storage cell, and controlling the first storage cell to send a preparation prompt so that an operating device stores the dishes corresponding to the information of the dishes to be prepared to the first storage cell according to the preparation prompt; and recording current dish information corresponding to the at least one storage grid respectively, wherein the current dish information indicates the name of the dish, the number of the dishes and the storage grid corresponding to the dish.
