Abstract
Infrared thermal cameras are often used to detect gas and liquid leaks. The use of infrared thermal cameras can detect and warn of leaks in time. With the increase in demand for food delivery, beverages often leak during delivery due to bumps in delivery and damaged packaging. One way to solve this problem is to use infrared thermal cameras to detect leaks in beverages. In this study, an infrared thermal camera was used to monitor the leakage of hot and cold beverages in an insulated food delivery box. It was found that even the viewing angle of the infrared thermal camera was blocked by the top of the paper cup, the hot water leakage could be found within 120 s after the leakage began. Cold water leakage could be found within 60 s. However, the water leakage could not be detected by the data of the thermocouple. Infrared thermal cameras have broad application prospects in packaging liquid leakage monitoring.
