This project is originated from reality, so the practical applicability is very high.It will be able to bring Pho to the world with new way of how to buy and enjoy a bowl of Pho. In addition, this machine can help busy people, who do not have enough time cooking, can have a quick dish for themself. Pho vending machine can be placed at bus stop, airport, big building, where is no need for a salesperson or waiter. Customers can easily enjoy a bowl of Pho with high quality, quickly and conveniently.
The purpose of this project is to develop “Pho vending machine” to meet needs of food in Vietnamese life and international export. Besides, this project can provide experience for researchers through using mechatronic knowledge to design and develop a machine with wide application.
The first target of this project is to produce a machine which can be able to work automatically, and meet the Vietnamese need.This machine have to store approximately fifty bowls, every part has to work exactly, stablity and as quick as possible. We have to make sure that customers fell satisfied after using us machine. The noodles is full of flavor with high quality and meet the requirement of food safety.
Detail objectives of the project consist of: designing and developing Pho storage mechanism (capacity to store 50 bowl), the structure of Pho softening mechanism, Pho pushing-out mechanism and chopsticks delivery mechanism. Designing and developing a simple mechanical mechanism to store and heat Pho. Pho is stored in a fridge with temperature is 5 to 10 degree and feeded by the conveyor. After that, Pho is softed by pouring hot water twice. In order to have a complete bowl of Pho, soup will be poured into the bowl and finally the bowl will be pushed out.
