[0001] The present invention relates to a modular food packaging device that is capable of efficiently storing, organizing and transferring various types of food items into containers based on user-specified quantities. The device is designed to enhance the packaging process by automatically detecting container dimensions, selecting appropriate lids, and applying seals to ensure secure and safe packaging.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In the modern food packaging industry, there is a growing need for efficient, automated systems that can manage multiple types of food items and ensure secure, accurate packaging. Existing packaging solutions often lack customization capabilities, which leads to inefficiencies in the process, especially when handling diverse food types and varying container sizes. Additionally, there is a demand for packaging systems that can integrate advanced features like real-time monitoring of food freshness, labeling, and product information tracking.

[0003] Traditional food packaging processes require manual labor, which can result in errors, inconsistencies, and delays. The absence of automation in packaging food with precise quantities and providing relevant food information on the packaging is both time-consuming and error-prone. Furthermore, packaging solutions often fail to address the need for easily accessible information about food items, such as freshness, nutritional content, or origin, leading to a lack of transparency for consumers. Therefore, there is a need for a more efficient, intelligent, and automated packaging solution that can enhance accuracy, provide real-time updates, and streamline the overall packaging process while offering value-added services like information sharing via labels or QR codes.

[0005] CN210212957U discloses about a bagged food packaging device, which comprises a base, wherein the upper end of the base is provided with a stand column, the side wall of the stand column is provided with a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected with a funnel; the funnel is characterized in that opposite cross rods are arranged on the outer wall of the funnel, a push-pull device is hinged to the lower ends of the cross rods, a piston rod of the push-pull device is hinged to the middle of an inner clamping plate, the upper end of the inner clamping plate is hinged to the outer wall of the funnel, and an outer clamping plate capable of being adjusted horizontally is arranged on the outer side of the inner clamping plate; and a supporting plate is arranged at the upper end of the base below the outlet of the funnel. The utility model aims at providing a food packaging equipment in bags can strut the sack of wrapping bag and fix at the funnel lower extreme to make things convenient for the food bagging-off.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed to address the challenges in the food packaging industry. These devices generally focus on automating the packaging process to improve speed and reduce human error. However, existing devices lack the flexibility to handle various types of food, the ability to customize packaging based on user input, and efficient labeling mechanisms that provide consumers with detailed information about the packaged food. Moreover, current devices fail to integrate advanced features such as freshness monitoring and the use of intelligent packaging solutions that offer real-time updates by utilizing environmental sensors such as temperature and gas sensors.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that store multiple types of food items, accurately transfer specified quantities into containers based on user input, and securely seal the containers. The device is able to print coded labels on the containers, enabling users to access detailed information about the food, thereby enhancing the packaging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to a modular food packaging device that is designed to efficiently store, organize and transfer various types of food items into containers based on user-specified quantities. The device is designed to enhance the packaging process by automatically detecting container dimensions, selecting appropriate lids, and applying seals to ensure secure and safe packaging.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a modular food packaging device is illustrated, comprising a hollow cuboidal body 101 with an open top developed to be positioned on fixed surface, a touch interactive display panel 102 is mounted on the body 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 installed inside the body 101, a multi-sectioned chamber 104 installed inside the body 101, a pair of pneumatic rods 105 with curved-shaped member attached to front and back sides of body 101 connected to a motorized slider 106, a receptacle 107 installed within the body 101, a pair of telescopic grippers 108 provided inside the body 101, a robotic arm 109 installed inside the body 101 integrated with a motorized roller, a QR (Quick Response) code generation unit 110 integrated inside the body 101, a printer unit 111 incorporated into the body 101, multiple U-shaped holding units 112 attached inside body 101, a microphone 113 arranged with the body 101 and a multi-sectioned vessel 114 arranged within the body 101.

[0024] The proposed device herein comprises of a hollow cuboidal body 101 with an open top designed to be securely positioned on a fixed surface such as a countertop or table. This open-top design allows easy access for a user to place a food container inside the body 101 for packaging. The body 101 is designed to provide both strength and lightweight properties to ensure ease of use while maintaining robust performance during the packaging process.

[0025] The user is required to press a push button integrated with the device, such that when the user presses the push button, it initiates an electrical circuit mechanism. Inside the push button, there is a spring-loaded contact mechanism that, under normal circumstances, maintains an open circuit. When the button is pressed, it compresses the spring, causing the contacts to meet and complete the circuit. This closure then sends an electrical signal to an inbuilt microcontroller associated with the device to either power up or shut down. Conversely, releasing the button allows the spring to return to its original position, breaking the circuit and sending the signal to deactivate the device.

[0026] The body 101 is equipped with a touch interactive display panel 102 that is mounted on the body’s 101 surface for providing a user-friendly interface for input. Through this display panel 102, the user is able to input specific details about the packaging process, including the type and quantity of food that is to be placed inside the food container. The display panel 102 consists of multiple layers, including a transparent conductive layer such as indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass, which forms the surface that users directly touch.

[0027] Beneath the layer lies a grid of electrodes, typically made of a conductive material like copper or silver, arranged in rows and columns. When the user touches the display panel 102, it creates a measurable change in capacitance at the point of contact, altering the electrical field between the electrodes. This change is detected by the controller circuitry embedded within the display panel 102, which interprets the position and intensity of the touch. The controller then converts this data into digital signals representing user inputs, which are further processed by the microcontroller.

[0028] A multi-sectioned vessel 114 is incorporated within the body 101, with each section holding different types of food containers. Based on the user-specified quantity of food to be packaged, the microcontroller controls the activation of a pair of telescopic grippers 108 within the body 101, enabling the grippers to grip and position a container onto the base portion of the body 101. The telescopic gripper 108 is powered by a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the gripper 108 to grip and position a suitable container on base portion of the body 101.

[0029] Upon processing the user’s input command, the microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 installed within the body 101 to detect the containers dimension. The imaging unit 103 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the container, and the captured images are stored within a memory of the imaging unit 103 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 103 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and detect the container’s dimensions. The user will provide a command specifying the type and quantity of food, such as half portion, extra-large portion, or the number of people for whom the food is being packed. Based on this information, the dimensions of the container will be selected accordingly.

[0030] Inside the body 101, a multi-sectioned chamber 104 is installed with each section dedicated to storing different types of food items. The chamber 104 is designed to accommodate a variety of food types, each section providing organized storage for efficient retrieval. Based on the user-specified details regarding the type and quantity of food to be packaged, the microcontroller processes this input and activates a pair of pneumatic rods 105 equipped with curved-shaped members and are mounted on the front and back sides of the body 101 connected to a motorized slider 106.

[0031] The pneumatic rod 105 is linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the rod 105. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller. Such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston.

[0032] The piston is connected with the rod 105 and due to applied pressure the rod 105 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the rod 105 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the rod 105 in order to position the curved members for scooping out the required amount of food from the designated section in the chamber 104.

[0033] The microcontroller then actuates the motorized slider 106 to move the scooped food toward the container. The slider 106 include sliding rack and rail, such that the rods 105 are mounted over the racks that are electronically operated by the microcontroller for moving over the rails. The slider 106 is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is actuated by the microcontroller by providing required electric current to the motor.

[0034] The motor comprises of a coil that converts the received electric current into mechanical force by generating magnetic field, thus the mechanical force provides the required power to the rack to provide sliding movement to the rods 105 to move the scooped food toward the container transferring the food in a controlled and precise manner, ensuring the correct portions are packaged as per the user's specifications.

[0035] A receptacle 107 is configured within the body 101 which is divided into multiple slots, with each slot designated for storing container lids of various dimensions. As per the detected dimensions of container, the microcontroller actuates a pair of telescopic grippers 108 provided inside the body 101 to grip and position a suitable dimension of lid over the container.

[0036] A robotic arm 109 is installed inside the body 101 and integrated with a motorized roller wrapped with adhesive tape. Once the lid has been positioned over the container, the microcontroller activates the robotic arm 109 and motorized roller to work in synchronization. The robotic arm 109 precisely maneuvers the roller across the perimeter of the lid, while the roller dispenses a layer of adhesive tape.

[0037] The robotic arm 109 is able to perform the designated task with high efficiency and accuracy, wherein the robotic arm 109 consists of mechanical joints and actuators, which are controlled by the microcontroller. The actuators allow various degrees of freedom and movement and the joints are actuated by a DC (Direct Current) motor, providing the necessary force and motion to maneuver the roller across the perimeter of the lid.

[0038] Simultaneously, the microcontroller actuates the roller which is linked with a DC (direct current) motor to provide the required power to the roller to rotate. The motor comprises of a coil that converts the received electric current into mechanical force by generating magnetic field, thus providing the required power to the roller to rotate on its own axis thereby applying the layer of tape over the lid for sealing the container temporarily for maintaining freshness of food item.

[0039] A QR (Quick Response) code generation unit 110 is configured inside the body 101 designed to encode specific information about the food item into a QR code format. The information include details such as ingredients, nutritional value, preparation date and expiry date. The QR code generation unit 110 works on the principle of encoding data into a machine-readable format.

[0040] The QR code generation unit 110 comprises the microcontroller, a data encoder and memory storage. The microcontroller receives food-related information, such as nutritional details or manufacturing dates, and processes it through the data encoder, which converts the information into a QR code pattern consisting of black and white modules. This encoded pattern is then stored temporarily in the memory unit or directly transmitted to the printer unit 111 for printing.

[0041] The printer unit 111 operates on the principle of thermal or ink-based printing, depending on the design and includes a print head, ink or toner supply (for ink-based printers) and a roller. Once the QR code pattern is received from the generation unit 110, the microcontroller in the printer activates the print head, which precisely transfers the QR code pattern onto the container surface. The roller ensures consistent movement of the container or print medium during the printing process, resulting in a clear and accurate QR code.

[0042] The display panel 102 provides real-time information about the freshness of the food being packaged. The display panel 102 ensures accuracy by using data derived from environmental conditions, packaging time and food type to offer precise updates. The user access a microphone 113 installed on the outer surface of the body 101 to provide voice commands. The microphone 113 consists of a diaphragm, typically made of a thin, flexible material such as metal or plastic. When sound waves reach the microphone 113, they cause the diaphragm to vibrate.

[0043] These vibrations are directly proportional to the variations in air pressure caused by the sound waves. The diaphragm is coupled to a coil of wire, as the diaphragm vibrates, the coil moves within a magnetic field, inducing an electric current in the wire. This current is proportional to the amplitude and frequency of the sound waves. The electrical signal generated by the diaphragm-coil is transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller on receiving the signals actuates the display panel 102 to provide real-time information about the freshness of the food being package.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, the device is equipped with environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity, and gas sensors that monitor the storage conditions of the food. These sensors continuously track the factors that affect food freshness, such as the ambient temperature and humidity around the food, as well as the emission of gases (like ethylene) that indicate spoilage. The combined data from the environmental sensors, including temperature, humidity, and gas levels (such as ethylene), is received by the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes this information to assess the current storage conditions of the food. This processed data is then sent to the display panel 102, where it is presented to the user, providing real-time updates on the freshness of the food, including any changes in the remaining freshness time. The display ensures the user is informed about the food's status, helping them take appropriate actions, if necessary, to maintain its quality.

[0045] The printed QR code is precisely applied to the container or lid via the telescopic grippers 108 that extend to pick up the printed QR code label from the printer's output area and securely position the QR code label on the designated area of the container or lid. This automated process ensures accurate placement without misalignment or damage to the label. Once applied, the QR code becomes accessible for scanning using a mobile device or scanner. By scanning the code, the individual retrieve detailed information about the food, such as ingredients, nutritional values, preparation date, and expiration date, providing transparency and enhancing the user's confidence in the product.

[0046] A tactile sensor is embedded with the body 101 to detect the surface characteristics of the container being packaged. The tactile sensor used herein is a piezoresistive tactile sensor works on the principle that the electrical resistance of its material changes when subjected to mechanical pressure. The tactile sensor consists of a pressure-sensitive layer made of piezoresistive material (such as silicon or polymer composites) sandwiched between conductive electrodes on a substrate. When an external force or pressure is applied to the sensor, the material deforms, causing a change in its internal resistance.

[0047] This change is proportional to the amount of applied pressure. The altered resistance is measured as a voltage change across the electrodes when a current flows through the sensor. These changes are measured and translated into electrical signals, which are then processed by an external controller or microcontroller. The processed data provides information about the contact force, shape, or texture, enabling the sensor to detect and respond to various surface characteristics effectively.

[0048] If the tactile sensor identifies that the packaging contains fragile items, the tactile sensor sends a signal to the microcontroller, indicating the detection of a delicate surface or material. This determination is made based on predefined sensitivity thresholds programmed into the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signal, the microcontroller activates the display panel 102 to display the user with a message recommending the use of protective materials, such as bubble wrap, to ensure safe transport. The message also include specific instructions for wrapping or securing the package to prevent damage. This process ensures that fragile items are handled appropriately, enhancing their safety during transit.

[0049] Multiple U-shaped holding units 112 are attached inside the body 101 to securely hold containers during the packaging process. The holding units 112 are connected to the body 101 via motorized ball-and-socket joints which provide a high degree of flexibility and adjustability. The ball-and-socket joints allow the U-shaped holders to rotate and pivot in multiple directions, enabling them to adapt to containers of various shapes and sizes. When a container is placed, the microcontroller actuates the motorized joints, positioning the holding units 112 to firmly grip and stabilize the container. This secure hold prevents the container from shifting or tipping during operations such as food transfer, lid placement, or sealing, ensuring precision and efficiency in the packaging process.

[0050] The microcontroller also customizes the packaging process based on delivery information provided by the user. This information include the delivery destination, expected transit time, and handling conditions. The microcontroller uses this data to determine if additional measures, such as applying a double seal, are necessary to maintain the integrity of the package during transportation. If required, the microcontroller actuates the robotic arm 109 and adhesive roller to apply a second layer of sealing tape over the lid, reinforcing the container's security. This ensures that the packaging remains intact, protects the contents from external factors such as moisture or tampering, and guarantees the safe delivery of the food items. If multiple boxes need to be delivered to the same location/destination, the device will first seal each box individually, then stack them one by one, sealing the entire group together. In case multiple boxes are to be packaged, the device will prioritize packing food for distant destinations faster than for nearby destinations, in order to maintain the freshness of the food.

[0051] The device is associated with a battery for providing the required power to the electronically and electrically operated components including the microcontroller, electrically powered sensors, motorized components and alike of the device. The battery within the device is preferably a lithium-ion-battery which is a rechargeable battery and recharges by deriving the required power from an external power source. The derived power is further stored in form of chemical energy within the battery, which when required by the components of the device derive the required energy in the form of electric current for ensuring smooth and proper functioning of the device.

[0052] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the user inputs packaging details, including food type, quantity, and container preferences through the touch-interactive display panel 102. The microcontroller receives these inputs and activates the imaging unit 103 which captures and processes images of the container to determine its dimensions. Based on this data, the microcontroller coordinates the operation of the multi-sectioned chamber 104 storing various food items. Pneumatic rods 105 are connected to the motorized slider 106 with curved members, scoop out the specified food and transfer it into the container. To securely seal the container, the receptacle 107 equipped with multiple slots containing lids of various sizes is utilized. Telescopic grippers 108 identify and position the appropriate lid over the container. Subsequently, the robotic arm 109 integrated with the motorized roller applies an adhesive tape layer, ensuring a temporary but firm seal to preserve food freshness. The device also generates a QR code, encoded with detailed food information, which is printed and affixed to the container via the grippers 108, enabling easy access to food details through mobile scanning. If fragile items are detected using the tactile sensor, the device prompts the user to wrap the package with protective materials, such as bubble wrap, via the display panel 102. U-shaped holding units 112 attached via motorized ball-and-socket joints, stabilize the container during all operations, ensuring precision and safety. Additionally, the microcontroller customizes packaging based on delivery requirements, applying the double seal when necessary to maintain package integrity during transit.
