Method and apparatus for automatically cooking user-customized food

A modular automation apparatus, the apparatus comprising M (M is a positive integer) or more cooking modules comprising:

• a first frame part having a predetermined shape;
• N (N is a positive integer) or more ingredient discharge units comprising a storage part located inside the first frame part to store an ingredient;
• and a discharge part disposed on one surface of the storage part to discharges the ingredient stored in the storage part in such a manner that a discharge port is selectively opened or closed;
• and
• a first container moving part comprising N or more first conveyor belts respectively located in front of the N or more ingredient discharge units so as to allow a container to move toward an ingredient discharge unit in a next sequence;
• and weight detection sensors located on the N or more first conveyor belts, respectively, so as to detect a weight of the container located on the first conveyor belt,
• wherein the first conveyor belt comprises:
• a position detection part that detects an area with which the container currently comes into contact within a surface area of the first conveyor belt to check a position of the container, and detects an angle or position of the discharge part to calculate an optimal position where the container can accurately and precisely contain the ingredient discharged by the discharge part;
• and
• an adjustment driving part that receives the optimal position calculated by the position detection part to automatically adjust the position of the container so as to allow the container to reach the optimal position,
• wherein the storage part comprises an inclined surface that allows the ingredient to roll down to a lower end of the storage part so as to be neatly loaded from the lower end,
• the modular cooking automation device further comprising:
• a container supply module comprising a second frame part to supply a container to the cooking module;
• and
• a lifting module comprising a third frame part to receive a container from the cooking module so as to lift it to the outside, and
• wherein the container supply module, the M cooking modules, and the lifting module can be arranged in any one of a horizontal () shape, a vertical (I) shape, an L-shape and a -shape according to a user's space by connecting the first frame part, the second frame part, and the third frame part.
