Abstract

Technology empowers people′s livelihood, and people′s pursuit of a better quality of life is constantly rising. The fully automatic intelligent coffee latte art machine realizes latte art automation through the integration of multi-field technologies, which not only drives technological innovation in the food industry, but also meets people′s consumption demand for a better life with high-quality and personalized experience. Inspired by 3D food printing technology, it takes STM32F103ZET6 as the core control unit and constructs three core units: motion platform, image processing and motion latte art. In the research, image processing algorithms are used to complete image preprocessing including image binarization, connected domain marking and edge detection, realizing the conversion from original images to path motion parameters. The seven-segment S-curve acceleration and deceleration algorithm is adopted to regulate the motion of stepping motors, and photoelectric isolation technology is combined to eliminate signal interference and ensure the accuracy of motion control. A screw rotary feeding structure and replaceable injection nozzles are designed to adapt to latte art materials with different viscosities, realizing the application of mechanical automation in the coffee latte art industry. The equipment features good stability and reliability during continuous operation, which can effectively replace manual latte art and reduce the repetitive work of professional baristas. It helps the coffee industry cut labor costs and improve operational efficiency, and at the same time provides support for the technological modernization and brand differentiation of the catering industry, boasting broad application prospects in high-end coffee shops and household consumption scenarios.
