“AUTOMATED COLD PRESS MACHINE FOR PREPARING AND DISPENSING JUICES”

We, Generation Infinite Machines Pvt Ltd, an Indian company, having a place of business at B2, 2nd Floor, B-Block, Mahalakshmi Apartments (Opp. to Raj Theatre), Abdul Razak Street, Anna Nagar, West Saidapet, Tamil Nadu - 600015, India

The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to the juice preparation and dispensing system. More specifically, the present invention relates to an automated cold press machine, system and method of operations thereof, for preparing and dispensing fresh fruit juice and vegetable juice for individual consumption.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The global fresh fruit juice and vegetable juice market is increasing gradually due to the rise in health consciousness among the general population. The demand for these juices has led to the innovation of many juice preparation techniques for providing different varieties of juice to the consumers.
At present high powered blenders and mixers are used to prepare these juices. Juices prepared by these machines may have nutritional loss because of the heat generated in the machine while blending the juice.
Vending machines are the most common solution known in the art for providing beverages such as fruit juices and the like readily. These vending machines typically use packaged and frozen juices with preservatives, colourings, sweeteners, etc. which are not healthy and are of great health concern.
Although the demands for fresh juices have increased, consumers prefer buying juices from outside rather than making it at home. Juice centres or restaurants that sell fresh juices also employ the conventional method of grinding the fruits in a mixer grinder or a juicer. This process is chaotic and needs intensive cleaning. Thus, there exists a need for a system that can prepare fresh juices in a clean and healthy way. Fruit juice centres cannot cater in case of high demand due to the inability to prepare and serve juices simultaneously. It takes manual effort to clean, peel, chop different fruits and vegetables accordingly. Cleaning the station after every order is also tedious. Hence, the vendors either tend to skip the cleaning process or do it inefficiently. Thus, there exists a need for a system that may prepare different types of juices simultaneously and clean it efficiently to keep it clean and hygienic.
Typically, the juice sellers dispose the remnants/ dregs after the juice is extracted with other non-food waste that cause a huge environmental impact and can cause serious problems. Thus, there exists a need for a system that may collect and manage the waste in an efficient manner by reusing them in the form of fertilizers, etc.
Further, in conventional juice centres, in-person store orders are prioritized over online orders made via food delivery applications and websites. It is chaotic to prioritize, handle and manage multiple orders manually. Thus, there exists a need for a system to manage orders systematically and efficiently for improved service to the customers.
The existing juice preparing system is limited by its inability to prepare juices without any manual support and to deliver it to the customer at the right time. Thus, a system that can automate the juice preparation process and can prepare the juices in a healthy and clean way may be beneficial.

To overcome the problems mentioned above, the present invention provides an automated system to prepare the juices and reduces (or) eliminates the manual involvement in the juice preparation process. This system provides a systematic and efficient management system that prioritizes the orders and prepares juice on a “first come first serve basis”. Also, the present invention provides a waste management system that effectively collects and manages the waste which reduces the risk of environmental impact and consumer health.
Briefly, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an automated cold press machine for making and dispensing juices is disclosed. The present invention is an all-in-one juice machine that can be installed autonomously and can be operated with ease by any individual to prepare different kinds of beverages like fresh fruit and vegetable juice, cock tail/mock tails etc. by an operating module provided in the system. This system is an internet enabled device and can be remotely operated by the authorized user other than the operator. Thus, this system works as a standalone unit that is owned, remotely operated and monitored by a first user who is the authorized owner and is operated by a second user who is an operator.
The system of the present disclosure can prepare different types of drinks like fresh fruit juice, vegetable juice, mock tails, milk shakes, smoothies etc. with minimal (or) no human involvement. The operator can stock the system with different types of fruits. Once the consumer orders for a drink, the operator selects for the drink and gives specification according to the consumer requirements by the operating module in the system. The operator can select from different recipes that are already pre-fed in the cloud. The system prepares the drink according to the requirements of the consumer.
The consumers can also order the juice through online food delivery platforms and the system prioritizes the order and prepares the juice on a “first come first serve basis”. Thus, this system effectively manages the order and provides an improved customer service.
The device consists of multiple cold storage hoppers that can store different types of fruits. There are sensors placed in the hopper to identify the type of fruits and their condition. If the fruit (or) vegetable is not in good condition, it is directly sent to the solid waste collection unit in the waste management module. The hoppers contain valves based on the fruit type to dispose them into the loading container. The loading container moves in a bidirectional conveyor belt to collect the required amount of fruits from the hopper and to put them in the respecting crushing units. The crushing unit includes two sub-systems, one for citrus fruits and the other one for fruits other than citrus fruits. The crushing unit for citrus fruits has a blade that cuts the fruits in half and the one for other fruits has a shredder that shreds the fruit. The fruits that are cut (or) shred then fall into a porous bag that is held between two platens that work as a press to extract the juice from the fruits.
The crushing unit may also have a bag rolling unit that rolls out a new porous bag every time an order is made and when the juice is to be prepared. The porous bag is placed between the platens and the cut (or) shred fruits fall into the bag. The platens press the bag and the juice is extracted from the fruits. Then the bag with the remains of the fruits and the vegetables accordingly is sent to the waste management module. This process is repeated every time a juice is prepared.
When the required juice is selected by the operator through the operating module a cup is dispensed from the cup storage module. The cup is kept in place in the dispensing belt by the cup holder. The dispensing belt first moves the cup to the ice dispensing unit. The ice is dispensed in the cup if the customer asks for it. Or else, the belt moves the cup the crushing unit. After the juice is collected from the crushing unit, the dispensing belt moves the cup to the sweetener discharge module that contains various cartridges to store various sweetening agents like sugar, honey etc. and toppings like Choco chips, chia seeds, nuts etc. The required toppings fall into the cup. Then the cup is moved to the mixing module where the ingredients in the cup are mixed by a stirrer (or) by air blowing mechanism.
When the consumer asks for a milk shake, the dispensing belt moves the cup the dairy module after collecting the juice from the crushing unit. The dairy module contains milk and ice cream. The ingredient as required is dispensed in the cup and the cup is moved to the mixing module to mix the ingredients in the cup.
When the selected drink is a cock tail (or) mock tail, the conveyor belt directly moves the cup to the alcohol unit after collecting the fresh juice from the crushing unit. The alcohol unit may contain storage cartridges to store different types of alcohol and may also contain a brewing unit to prepare and store beer. The required type of alcohol (or) beer falls into the cup and the cock tail/ mock tail is prepared.
After the required juice is prepared, the cup is sealed in the sealing unit and is dispensed to the consumer by the dispensing belt. There is a waste collection module that collects different types of waste in different waste collection units. There is a unit for collecting solid waste, a unit for collecting waste water that is used for cleaning the system at regular intervals and a unit for collecting the remains of the fruits and vegetables from the juice is extracted. There is also an excess juice collection chamber which collects the excess juice prepared. There are level sensors in the waste management module that indicate the operator to remove the waste once the waste reaches a certain level.
The operator and the authorised user can remotely monitor the system and the data collected from the system. The operator details, salary, number of juices prepared, the billing and other operations may also be monitored and kept in track via cloud.
There is an inbuilt AI system that may collect data from all the different geographical locations, analyses the preferences of the customers, keeping in account the market trends and constantly improve the type and the quality of the beverage being served.
The above summary is illustrative only and is not intended to be in any way limiting. In addition to the illustrative aspects, example embodiments, and features described above, further aspects and features will become apparent by reference to the drawings and the following detailed description.
