Intelligence data acquisition based on embedded system in Chinese cuisine cooker (CCICR V1.0)
Abstract
Abstract The Chinese cooking process, intricate and diverse, encompasses a wide range of dishes, generating substantial data that often poses significant challenges for automation. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a versatile, highly reliable, user-friendly, and intelligent data recorder specifically designed for Chinese cuisine-the Chinese Cuisine Intelligent Cooker Recorder-V1.0 (CCICR-V1.0). This device is intended to record data generated during the cooking process and provide essential support for intelligent cooking robot systems. The core of CCICR-V1.0 is a STM32 microcontroller, equipped with sensors that monitor temperature, pressure, and attitude. These sensors facilitate the intelligent collection of data related to dishes, ingredients, and the movements of cookware throughout the cooking process. To ensure efficient data acquisition and storage, CCICR-V1.0 employs a multi-task data buffering storage method that effectively allocates CPU resources. NAND Flash is used as the storage medium, guaranteeing secure storage, management, and preservation of high-frequency, multi-channel data. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of CCICR-V1.0 in achieving multi-channel, high-frequency data acquisition and storage in complex environments. This leads to an increase in automation efficiency of 89.9%. The weighing module demonstrates a maximum relative error of only 0.288%, while the attitude sensor experiment shows an attitude information error of just 0.22°C. Furthermore, the non-contact infrared temperature measurement module exhibits impressive performance with a maximum absolute error of 0.258 $$^\circ C$$ ∘ C and a maximum relative error of 0.88%. Notably, this measurement module has achieved a cost reduction of approximately 91.7% and an accuracy improvement of around 40%. Additionally, the response time of CCICR-V1.0 is less than 3 ms. With its ability to effectively capture data related to Chinese cooking, CCICR-V1.0 holds commercial value for widespread adoption and application in the field of intelligent cooking.
