[0002] In restaurant kitchens, preparing multiple food items simultaneously across multiple burners can be a challenging task, especially when managing diverse cooking requirements such as varying temperatures, utensils, and ingredient tracking. This often results in inconsistencies in cooking, inefficient use of energy, and errors in ingredient addition. The traditional cooking process heavily relies on manual monitoring, which not only increases the workload on kitchen staff but also leads to inefficiencies and errors due to human limitations. Another common issue faced in restaurant kitchens is the wastage of fuel caused by uneven heating and flame misdirection, leading to improper cooking and excessive energy consumption.
[0003] Traditionally, the user uses tools to enhance efficiency, safety, and precision of cooking processes in restaurant kitchens by relying on manual equipment such as temperature probes, timers, flame adjusters, and basic utensils for handling food items. Chefs and kitchen staff manually monitor cooking temperatures, adjust flames, and track ingredients being added to dishes, which requires constant attention and physical effort. Tools like lids, spatulas, and heat diffusers are used to manage cooking conditions, but these require significant user intervention and do not guarantee uniform heating or accurate ingredient tracking.

A pair of horizontal plates 102 are assembled at ends of the frame 101 provides stability to the frame 101. Upon positioning of the frame 101 on the stove, a pair of suction cups 113 equipped with each of the plates 102 adheres the plates 102 on the stove in a secured manner. The cups 113 create partial vacuum within the cups 113 upon pressing over the surface by squeezing out air from the cups 113 due to a negative pressure is generated inside suction area. Herein, atmospheric pressure outside the cups 113 presses down low-pressure area inside the cups 113 to generate suction to adhere the surface and affix the plates 102 with the surface thereby accommodating the plates 102 over the surface in an appropriate manner.
[0024] After that the user accesses a user-interface inbuilt in a computing unit wirelessly associated with the device to give input commands regarding different food items being prepared in the utensils. The computing mentioned, herein includes but not limited to a mobile and laptop that comprises a processor where the input received is stored to process and retrieve the output data in order to display in the computing unit. A microcontroller is wirelessly linked with the computing unit via a communication module which includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication). The communication module acts as a medium between various electronic unit for establishing communication between the computing unit and device to process the input.
[0025] Upon processing the input given by the user, the microcontroller accesses a database linked with the microcontroller for fetching temperature at which the food items are to be prepared. For example: If the user selects "Pizza," the microcontroller fetches the database entry specifying a cooking temperature of 220°C for 12 minutes. The device adjusts the temperature for the set duration. For "Grilled Chicken," the microcontroller identifies a required temperature of 180°C for 25 minutes and ensures uniform heat distribution to achieve proper grilling. Similarly, for "Chocolate Cake," the device might set the oven to 160°C for 30 minutes to ensure even baking without overcooking.
[0026] An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 mounted on the frame 101 for detecting the burners placed with the utensils. The imaging unit 103 mentioned herein comprises of comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to capture and process the images of the burners. The camera firstly captures multiple images of the burners, wherein the camera comprises of a body, electronic shutter, lens, lens aperture, image sensor, and imaging processor that works in sequential manner to capture images of the burners. After capturing of the images by the camera, the shutter is automatically open due to which the reflected beam of light coming from the surrounding due to light is directed towards the lens aperture. After that the reflected light beam passes through the image sensor.
[0027] The image sensor now analyzes the beam to retrieve signal from the beams which is further calibrate by the sensor to capture images of the burners in electronic signal. Upon capturing images, the imaging processor processes the electronic signal into digital image. When the image capturing is done, the processor associated with the imaging unit 103 processes the captured images by using a protocol of artificial intelligence to retrieve data from the captured image in the form of digital signal. The detected data in the form of digital signal is now transmitted to the linked microcontroller based on which the microcontroller acquires the data to detect the burners placed with the utensils.
[0028] Based on detecting the burners placed with the utensils, the microcontroller actuates multiple motorized sliders 104 configured on the frame 101 for translating multiple L-shaped telescopically operated rods 105 arranged with the sliders 104 in proximity to the utensils. The slider 104 comprises of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the sliding unit moves. The slider carriage, also called a stage or platform equipped with a mechanism to minimize friction and ensure smooth motion.
[0029] The sliding unit incorporates a motor and a drive mechanism to generate linear motion. The motor is connected to a drive mechanism, such as a belt, lead screw, or ball screw. The drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling the slider carriage along the rail unit to translate the rods 105 in proximity to the utensils to provide thermal insulation over peripheral region of the utensil. After positioning of the rods 105 in proximity to the utensils, a laser acuity sensor positioned either on a first expandable cylindrical hollow body 106 installed with each of the rods 105 or on a second expandable cylindrical hollow body 107 installed with the first expandable cylindrical hollow body 106 detects diameter of the utensils.
[0030] The laser acuity sensor mentioned herein works by emitting a focused laser beam onto the surface of the utensils, and then measuring the reflected light to calculate the precise diameter of the utensils. This measurement is used by the microcontroller to ensure accurate positioning and alignment of the rods 105 in proximity to the utensils. Based on detecting the diameter of the utensils, the microcontroller actuates a drawer arrangement integrated with each of the bodies 106, 107 to adjust the size as per detected dimension of the utensils. The drawer arrangement comprises of a carriage assembly and a DC (direct current) motor that works in collaboration to extend and retract the bodies 106, 107.
[0031] The carriage assembly fitted with two rails that are used for sliding the block up and down. The block opening located at the end of the rail and have two clips that are used to secure the ring with the bodies 106, 107. To extend the drawer, the drawer is pushed to open and the carriage assembly slide outward. This creates an opening to allow extension and retraction of the bodies 106, 107 as per diameter of the utensils. Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a pneumatic unit integrated with a rod to extend for accommodating the bodies 106, 107 around the utensils. The pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves i.e. Inlet and outlet valve and piston that works in collaboration to aid extension and retraction of the rod.
[0032] The air compressor is coupled with a motor that gets activated by the microcontroller to compress the air from surroundings upon entering from the inlet valve to compressed and pumped out via the outlet valve. The air valve allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston moves. And upon closing of the valve, the compressed air exit out from the cylinder thereby decreasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The increasing and decreasing of the air pressure from the cylinder aids in movement of the piston in a to and fro direction that turns in aiding extension and retraction of the rods 105 for accommodating the bodies 106, 107 around the utensils.
[0033] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates an expandable pulley arrangement 110 configured with a circular lid 108 arranged with each of the first bodies 106 to expand the lid 108. The pulley arrangement 110 comprises of multiple links attached to a central rotating disc that gets rotated at a uniform speed via a motorized pinion gear conjoined with a central disc. A motor is paired with the gear that is activated by the microcontroller for providing a rotational motion to the gear. Upon rotating of the pinion gears in anti-clockwise, then the central disc starts rotating in a clockwise direction that helps in thrusting studs fastened with links in outward orientation results in expansion of the pulley.
[0034] Similarly, the pinion gear starts rotating clockwise, then the central disc starts rotating in an anti-clockwise direction that helps in thrusting studs fastened with links in inward orientation that in turn contract the pulley to contract the lid 108. The expansion and contraction of the disc to increase and decrease diameter of the lid 108. The expansion and contraction of the bodies 106, 107 along with the expansion and contraction of lid 108 is done based on the diameter of the utensil to properly accommodate the utensil. After that the microcontroller actuates a motorized pivot joint 109 integrated with the lid 108 for tilting and deploying the lid 108 to cover mouth top portion of the bodies 106. The pivot joint 109 comprises of a rotary motor coupled with a hinge mechanism that is activated by the microcontroller to provide smooth and precise angular motion. The joint allows the lid 108 to move along both vertical and horizontal planes as needed, ensuring accurate alignment with the top portion of the lid 108 to cover mouth top portion of the bodies 106 for cooking the food in the utensils appropriately.
[0035] During cooking of the food items, multiple curved-shaped members 201 installed with each of the second bodies 107 via multiple motorized hinges 202 that are actuated by the microcontroller for tilting and deploying the members 201 to re-direct flame towards the utensil to allow maximum heating of the utensil and preventing wastage of fuel used to burn flame on the burners in cooking. The hinge 202 typically refers to a motorized rotational joint that allows the curved members 201 to move with precision. The hinge 202 consists of a rotary motor coupled with a pivoting mechanism, enabling smooth angular motion for ensuring accurate deployment and retraction of the curved members 201 to re-direct flame towards the utensil and allow maximum heating of the utensil that aids to prevent wastage of fuel used to burn flame on the burners in cooking.
[0036] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates a circular motorized slider 203 configured with between the first and second bodies 106, 107 to rotate the second bodies 107 along with the utensil to spread heat uniformly on the utensil. The circular slider 203 works in similar manner that the slider 104 do as mentioned above in circular manner to rotate the second bodies 107 along with the utensil to evenly heat the utensil. After that the user accesses a microphone 114 installed with each of the first bodies 106 to give voice commands for opening the lid 108 s. The microphone 114 receives sound waves generated by energy emitted from the voice command in the form of vibrations. After then, the sound waves are transmitted towards a diaphragm configured with a coil.
[0037] Upon transmitting the waves within the diaphragm, the diaphragm strikes with the waves due to which the coil starts moving the diaphragm with a back-and-forth movement in presence of magnetic field generated from the coil. After then the electric signal is emitted from the coil due to back-and-forth movement of the diaphragm which is further transmitted to a microcontroller linked with the microphone 114 to process the signal to analyze the signal for detecting voice command given by the user. Upon processing the voice commands, the microcontroller actuates the pivot joint 109 for tilting the lid 108 in view of allowing the user to add ingredients that is detected by the microcontroller via the imaging unit 103.
[0038] During addition of the ingredients in the utensils, the microcontroller actuates a holographic projection unit 115 mounted on each of the first bodies 106 for projecting hologram regarding the ingredients already added by the user for preventing addition of same ingredient multiple times. The holographic projection unit 115 comprises of holograms, shutter, beam splitters, diverging lenses and a mirror utilized to project holograms. Firstly, the projector emits the laser beam and passed through the shutter to impact on the beam splitter. After the impact of laser beam, the splitter splits the laser beam into two directions.
[0039] First part is passed through a diverging lens where it scatters to impact on the mirror and produce reflected beam and another part is passed to another mirror directly where it reflects the beam and pass through another diverging lens. After then, the reflected beam from first part produce an image. Lastly, the projector compares the resultant beams and produce hologram regarding the ingredients already added by the user to prevent addition of same ingredient multiple times and allow the user to cook the food items appropriately.
[0040] Additionally, a thermal imaging camera 111 installed on each of the first bodies 106 for detecting temperature of flame for cooking of the food items. The thermal camera works by capturing the infrared radiation emitted by the flame and converting into a thermal image or data. Herein. The infrared radiation intensity is directly proportional to temperature, allowing the camera to accurately measure the flame's temperature in real time. The detected data is transmitted to the microcontroller where it analyzes to detect the temperature of flame for cooking of the food items. Based on detecting the temperature, if the detected temperature exceeds the fetched temperature, then the microcontroller activates a speaker 112 integrated on each of the bodies 106 to notify the user to reduce the flame for preventing burning of the food items.
[0041] The speaker 112 operates by converting electrical signals into sound waves. The speaker 112 consists of a diaphragm that vibrates in response to an electrical signal, which is generated by the microcontroller or audio unit when an alert or message is triggered. The diaphragm's movement produces sound that is emitted from the speaker 112, allowing the user to hear alerts regarding reduction of the flame in view of preventing burning of the food items.
[0042] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so the user effectively carry out their appropriate functions.
[0043] The present invention works best in following manner that includes the elongated frame 101 developed to be positioned on stove installed in a kitchen of a restaurant and having multiple burners for cooking multiple food items at a same time in different utensils. Herein, the horizontal plates 102 provides stability to the frame 101. After that the user requires user-interface inbuilt in a computing unit to give input commands regarding different food items being prepared in the utensils based on that the microcontroller wirelessly linked with the computing unit processes the input commands and accesses a database linked with the microcontroller for fetching temperature at which the food items are to be prepared. Herein, the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 detects the burners placed with the utensils, based on that the microcontroller actuates the motorized sliders 104 for translating multiple L-shaped telescopically operated rods 105 for positioning the rods 105 in proximity to the utensils, Herein, the laser acuity sensor detects diameter of the utensils, in accordance to which the microcontroller actuates the first and second bodies 106, 107 to expand via the drawer arrangement, followed by actuation of the rods 105 to retract for accommodating the bodies 106, 107 around the utensils. Further, based on the detected dimeter of the utensils, the microcontroller actuates the expandable pulley arrangement 110 to expand the lid 108, followed by actuation of the pivot joint 109 in view of tilting and deploying the lid 108 to cover mouth top portion of the bodies 106. After that the motorized hinges 202 that are actuated by the microcontroller for tilting and deploying the members 201 to re-direct flame towards the utensil to allow maximum heating of the utensil and preventing wastage of fuel used to burn flame on the burners.
[0044] In continuation, the microcontroller synchronously actuates the circular motorized slider 203 to rotate the second bodies 106 along with the utensil to evenly heat the utensil. Herein, the microphone 114 enabling the user to give voice commands for opening the lids 108, based on that activates the pivot joint 109 for tilting the lid 108 in view of allowing the user to add ingredients, and the microcontroller simultaneously activates the imaging unit 103 for the ingredients being added by the user.
