Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to an automated freezer which stores frozen food in a cartridge and automatically removes the frozen food from the cartridge of the freezer component in response to a request for the food.
- Freezers are used to keep objects frozen, such as food. Freezers are commonly used in residences, grocery stores, and restaurants. In the restaurant or food service industry, food is often stored in a freezer prior to preparation and serving. The food is usually manually placed into the freezer by an employee. When the food is to be prepared and served, the food is manually removed by an employee. A drawback to the prior art freezers is that additional manual labor is needed to remove the food from the freezer.
- the food is manually stacked on a platform in the freezer compartment.
- the platform is raised and a removal device removes the food from the automated freezer.
- a drawback to this prior automated freezer is that the food is manually stacked in the automated freezer, and the freezer door is therefore open during stacking, allowing cool air to escape. It would be beneficial to use an automated freezer that employs a cartridge that is loaded with the food outside of the automated freezer.
- the automated freezer of the present invention freezes food items stacked in a removable cartridge.
- the upper end of the cartridge is received in a buffer that retains the food items in the buffer when the cartridge is removed from the automated freezer.
- the cartridge includes a first portion and a second portion both including a half- circular bottom portion having a half-circular cutout. Food items are stacked and loaded in one of the portions. The other portion is then attached to the loaded portion to retain the food items in the cartridge. When the cartridge is assembled, the half-circular cutouts form a circular cutout.
- the loaded cartridge is positioned in the automated freezer by receiving the upper end of the cartridge in an inner passage of the buffer.
- a platform rises and passes through the circular cutout. As the platform rises, the food items raise upwardly and pass through the inner passage of the buffer.
- a sensor senses that a food item is proximate to an opening in the automated freezer, a removal device pushes the food item out of the automated freezer.
- the buffer includes a plurality of arms moveable between a first position in which the arms enter the inner passage of the buffer and a second position substantially perpendicular to the first position in which the arms do not enter the inner passage of the buffer.
- the arms are biased in the first position by a resilient member.
- the resilient members bias the plurality of arms into the first position, retaining any food items in the buffer and preventing them from falling out of the buffer.
- the upper end is again inserted into the buffer.
- the food items lift, the food items push the arms into the second position to allow passage of the food items through the buffer.
- Figure 3 schematically illustrates a perspective view of an assembled cartridge
- Figure 4A schematically illustrates a side view of the buffer before the cartridge is inserted into the buffer and a food item is received in the buffer
- Figure 4B schematically illustrates a bottom view of the buffer before the cartridge is inserted into the buffer and a food item is received in the buffer
- Figure 5 A schematically illustrates a side view of the buffer when the food items are received in the buffer
- Figure 5B schematically illustrates a bottom view of the buffer when the food items are received in the buffer'
- Figure 6 A schematically illustrates a side view of the buffer after the cartridge is removed from the freezer to retain a food item
- Figure 6B schematically illustrates a bottom view of the buffer after the cartridge is removed from the freezer to retain a food item.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the automated freezer 20 of the present invention.
- the automated freezer 20 stores and freezes food items 22.
- the food items 22 are hamburger patties.
- the freezer 20 can use forced air convection or can be a cold wall freezer.
- the temperature in the automated freezer 20 is between -18°C and -21°C.
- a door 24 is pivotally attached to the automated freezer 20 with hinges 26.
- the door 24 is pivoted to an open position to allow access to a freezer compartment 28 inside the automated freezer 20 (as shown in Figure 1) and is pivoted to a closed position to prevent access to the freezer compartment 28.
- the food items 22 are stacked in a cartridge 30 loaded in the automated freezer 20.
- the cartridge 30 When the cartridge 30 is loaded in the freezer compartment 28, the upper end 32 of the cartridge 30 is inserted into an opening 100 in a buffer 34.
- the buffer 34 When the cartridge 30 is removed from the automated freezer 20, the buffer 34 retains any food items 22 remaining in the buffer 34 and prevents them from falling.
- the buffer 34 is removably attached to the automated freezer 20.
- the automated freezer 20 includes a projection 36 sized and shaped to fit into a hole 38 in the buffer 34.
- the buffer 34 is slid such that the projection 36 is received in the hole 38, securing the buffer 34 to the automated freezer 20.
- the buffer 20 can be removed from the automated freezer 20 by sliding the buffer 34 in the opposite direction to remove the projection 36 from the hole 38.
- the automated freezer 20 can include the hole 38 and the buffer 34 can include the projection 36.
- an input 40 sends a signal to a control 42.
- the control 42 sends a signal to a motor 44, raising a platform 46 under the food items 22.
- the food items 22 move upwardly through the cartridge 30 and through the buffer 34.
- a sensor 48 senses the food item 22 is proximate to an opening 50 in the automated freezer 20
- a motor 52 pivots an arm 54 about a pivot 56 to slide the food item 22 out of the opening 50.
- the arm 54 then returns to the rest position.
- the food item 22 exiting the automated freezer 20 enters an automated grill for cooking the food item 22.
- the input 40 includes a POS (point of service) register.
- POS point of service
- the POS register sends the signal to the control 42, which responsively dispenses the desired number of food items 22 from the automated freezer 20.
- an operator inputs into the input 40 the numbers of food items 22 that are to be dispensed from the automated freezer 20 through the opening 50.
- the automated freezer 20 further includes a sensor 98 that detects when the platform 46 reaches a predetermined location in the automated freezer 20. When the platform 46 reaches the predetermined located, the automated freezer 20 and the cartridge 30 needs to be reloaded with food items 22. When the sensor 98 detects the platform 46, the motor 44 automatically lowers the platform 46.
- a visual indicator 100 on the door 24 indicates that the automated freezer 20 and the cartridge 30 must be reloaded with food items 22 to alert an operator to load additional food items 22.
- the cartridge 30 includes a first portion 58 and a second portion 60.
- the first portion 58 includes a half-circular bottom portion 62 having a half-circular cutout 64
- the second portion 60 includes a half-circular bottom portion 66 having a half-circular cutout 68.
- the first portion 58 also includes an attachment feature 70 having a hole 72
- the second portion 60 includes an attachment feature 74 having a protrusion 76 sized and shaped to fit in the hole 72.
- the cartridge 30 includes two of each attachment features 70, 74. However it is to be understood that any number of attachment features 70, 74 can be employed. Also, it is to be understood that the first half 58 can include the attachment feature 74 and the second half 60 can include the attachment feature 70.
- the food items 22 are loaded into the cartridge 30 by a manufacturer when the food items 22 are produced.
- the cartridge 30 would be shipped to the user of the automated freezer 30 with the food items 22 already stacked. After the cartridge 30 is empty, the cartridge would be disposed of.
- An attachment feature 80 on the first portion 58 engages an attachment feature 82 on the second portion 60 to secure the first portion 58 to the second portion 60.
- the half-circular cutouts 64, 68 form a circular cutout 84 located above the bottom edge 86 of the cartridge 30.
- the cartridge 30 further includes a cutout 88 along the bottom edge 86.
- the upper end 32 is first inserted into the opening 100 of the buffer 32.
- the upper end 32 of the cartridge 30 has an outer diameter less than the inner diameter of the opening 100 in the bottom of the buffer 34.
- the cartridge 30 is pushed slightly upwardly into the buffer 32 to then allow the bottom edge 86 to enter the freezer compartment 28.
- the platform 46 passes through the cutout 88 in the cartridge 30 to allow the bottom edge 86 of the cartridge 30 to enter the freezer compartment 28.
- the circular cutout 84 is aligned with the platform 46.
- the platform 46 rises in response to a request for a food item 22, the platform 46 passes upwardly through the cutout 88 and into the cartridge 30.
- the diameter of the cutout 88 is greater than the diameter of the platform 46 to allow the platform 46 to pass through the cutout 88, but smaller than the diameter of the food items 22 to retain the food items 22 in the cartridge 30.
- FIGS 4A and 4B illustrate the buffer 34 before the cartridge 90 is loaded into the automated freezer 90.
- the plurality of arms 90 are in a first position and extend into an inner passage 96 of the buffer 34.
- the plurality of arms 90 are moveable between the first position (shown in Figures 4A and 4B) and a second position (shown in Figures 5A and 5B) substantially perpendicular to the first position.
- the arms 90 are biased to the first position by a resilient member 92.
- any number of arms 90 can be employed.
- the cartridge 30 is removed from the freezer compartment 28 when the cartridge 30 needs to be refilled with food items 22.
- the resilient member 92 biases the arms 90 into the first position and into the inner passage 96, retaining any food items 22 remaining in the buffer 34 and preventing the food items 22 from falling from the buffer 34 and into the bottom of the freezer compartment 28.
- the upwardly moving food items 22 push the arms 90 upwardly into the second position, allowing the food items 22 to once again enter the buffer 34.
- the buffer 34 does not include arms 90.
- any food items 22 that remained in the buffer 34 would fall out of the buffer 34 when the cartridge 30 is removed from the freezer compartment 28. The food items 22 could then be added to the cartridge 30 when it is reloaded with additional food items 22.
