[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] As the pace of life quickens, people are more pursuing easy and convenient cooking methods. However, they still encounter various troubles when using integrated stoves for cooking: 1. The range hood has a better effect in absorbing oil fumes when working with a large air volume, but the noise is relatively loud; the noise when working with a small air volume is acceptable but the oil fume absorbing effect is not ideal; 2. Because there is no reminder of the water boiling status, the cook can only wait by the integrated stove, otherwise the pot will overflow or dry burning will occur.

[0029] At present, the existing range hood and stove linkage is generally as follows: after the stove is ignited, the range hood automatically operates according to the air volume level received by the wireless module; after the stove is turned off, the range hood operates according to the delayed shutdown command received by the wireless module.

[0030] However, the above-mentioned existing range hood and stove linkage method only involves the range hood and the stove, and cannot intelligently select the range hood air volume and the stove gear according to the amount of oil smoke generated by the pot in different scenarios, and the user experience is average.

[0031] Based on this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a smart cooker, a stove and a range hood, specifically providing a smart cooker. The smart cooker in this embodiment is equipped with a rechargeable battery, an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) detection probe installed at the bottom of the pot, an NTC temperature detection probe installed on the top of the inner side of the pot lid, and a wireless Bluetooth module. The range hood air volume and stove firepower are calculated based on the cooking scene, and notified to the range hood and stove through the Bluetooth module.

[0032] This embodiment can also intelligently adjust the range hood air volume based on the cooking scene; determine whether the water in the pot is boiling based on the temperature information of the pot cover and the bottom of the pot, and remind the user; reduce the stove fire when the water in the pot is boiling, reduce or avoid overflowing the pot. This improves the oil fume absorption effect and reduces the power consumption of the range hood; determines and reminds the user that the water in the pot is boiling, improving the intelligent level of cooking; determines the overflowing pot in advance, reduces or avoids the overflowing pot situation.

[0033] This embodiment aims to provide users with an easier and more convenient cooking method: intelligently select the range hood air volume according to the amount of oil smoke generated by the pot in different scenarios, intelligently judge the boiling water scene and remind the user in time, and notify the stove to reduce the firepower to reduce or avoid overflow.

[0034] To facilitate understanding of the present embodiment, a linkage control method for a cooker, a stove, and a range hood disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention provides a smart cookware, which includes: a cooker body and a cooker cover; a first temperature sensor is provided on the cooker cover, a second temperature sensor is provided on the cooker body, and an in-place detection device is further provided on the cooker cover and / or the cooker body, and the in-place detection device is used to detect the covering state of the cooker cover on the cooker body; the smart cookware is also provided with a communication module and a control module; the communication module is used to establish a communication connection with a cooker and / or a range hood, and the control module is used to control the communication module to send corresponding instruction information to the cooker and / or the range hood according to the first temperature information, the second temperature information and the in-place detection information; wherein the first temperature information is acquired by the first temperature sensor, the second temperature information is acquired by the second temperature sensor, and the in-place detection information is acquired by the in-place detection device.

[0037] First, the smart cooker in this embodiment is introduced. Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram of a smart cookware, a first temperature sensor 5 (which can be a first temperature detection probe) can be installed on the inner top of the cookware lid in this embodiment, and the first temperature information collected by the probe can be used to detect the real-time temperature in the cookware cavity and whether the lid is in place.

[0038] In some embodiments, a first contact is provided at the edge of the pot lid, and a second contact is provided at the edge of the pot body of the cookware; when the pot lid fits the pot body, the first contact abuts against the second contact, the control module of the cookware receives a signal from the first temperature sensor, and determines that the pot lid is in place; when the pot lid does not fit the pot body, the first contact is disengaged from the second contact, the control module of the cookware does not receive a signal from the first temperature sensor, and determines that the pot lid is removed.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, when the pot cover and the pot body cover are in place, the first contact 4 is connected to the second contact 3, and the first temperature detection probe is connected to the control module, and the control module can obtain the real-time temperature in the pot cavity (i.e., the first temperature information) in real time; when the pot cover is removed, the first contact 4 is disconnected from the second contact 3, and the first temperature detection probe is disconnected from the control module. The control module detects the disconnection signal of the first temperature detection probe and can determine that the pot cover is removed. In addition, a second temperature sensor 6 (which can be a second temperature detection probe) is also installed at the bottom of the pot in this embodiment. The second temperature sensor is connected to the control module, and the collected second temperature information can be used to detect the temperature of the bottom of the pot in real time, which is used to prevent the pot from overflowing, preventing the pot from sticking, and preventing dry burning.

[0040] In some embodiments, the stove is provided with a pot detection probe; when the pot is placed on the stove, the pot detection probe is triggered, the control module of the stove determines that the pot state is a pot placed state based on the signal of the pot detection probe, and the control module of the stove sends the pot state to the control module of the cooker; when the pot is not placed on the stove, the pot detection probe is not triggered, the control module of the stove determines that the pot state is a pot not placed state based on the signal of the pot detection probe, and the control module of the stove sends the pot state to the control module of the cooker.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the first contact 4 and the second contact 3 can both be arranged on the handle of the smart cooker, so as to facilitate determining whether the pot cover is removed.

[0042] See also Figure 2 The schematic diagram of a stove is shown, and the stove is provided with a knob 1 and a pot detection probe 2. The pot of this embodiment can realize the range hood air volume and stove fire power adjustment function together with the stove with pot detection and automatic fire power adjustment. When the pot is placed on the stove, the pot detection probe 2 is triggered, and the stove control module receives a low-level signal to determine that the stove has a pot placed thereon. When the pot is removed, the pot detection probe 2 is released, and the stove control module receives a high-level signal to determine that the stove has no pot placed thereon. The stove can also be provided with a communication module (such as a wireless Bluetooth module) to send the pot status, fire power level and ignition information to the pot in real time. The pot will send the required fire power level to the stove, and the pot will also send the range hood air volume to the range hood.

[0043] In the present embodiment, during the cooking process, the control module of the cooker can determine different scenarios in real time based on the first temperature information (used to characterize the temperature of the pot lid), the second temperature information (used to characterize the temperature of the pot bottom) and the in-place detection information (used to characterize the state of the pot lid), and adjust the range hood air volume and stove gear according to different scenarios.

[0044] In some embodiments, the smart cook sends command information to the range hood or the stove respectively through the communication module; alternatively, the smart cook sends command information to the stove through the communication module, and the stove sends the command information to the range hood; alternatively, the smart cook sends command information to the range hood through the communication module, and the range hood sends the command information to the stove.

[0045] In this embodiment, communication modules can be provided in the smart cooker, the range hood and the stove, and the three can communicate with each other. After determining the command information of the range hood or stove, the control module of the smart cooker can directly send the command of the range hood or stove to the communication module of the range hood or stove, respectively, or the communication module of the range hood can forward the command information of the stove to the communication module of the stove, or the communication module of the stove can forward the command information of the range hood to the communication module of the range hood.

[0046] In some embodiments, the smart cook is used to determine whether the state of the cook is a state where the cook is not placed or a state where the cook is placed based on an in-place detection device provided on the pot body; if the state of the cook is a state where the cook is not placed, the smart cook is used to determine that the gear position of the range hood is the first gear; if the state of the cook is a state where the cook is placed, the smart cook is used to determine the gear position of the range hood based on the second temperature information and an in-place detection device provided on the pot lid; the smart cook is used to use the gear position of the range hood as command information for the range hood.

[0047] See also Figure 3 A schematic diagram of determining the gear position of a range hood after a stove is ignited is shown. When the stove is ignited or burning, if the pot is in a state where no pot is placed, the pot sends the first gear (i.e., gear 1, corresponding to weak air volume L1) as command information of the range hood to the range hood.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, if the pot state is the pot placement state, the second temperature information is less than the first temperature threshold TS1 (which can be 80°C), then it is judged as a scene in which the stove has just been started for cooking, and the pot sends the first gear (i.e. gear 1, corresponding to weak air volume L1) as the range hood command information to the range hood.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, if the cooker state is the cooker placement state, the second temperature information is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold TS1 (which can be 80°C) and less than the second temperature threshold TS2 (which can be 150°C), then it is judged that the second temperature information is slightly high and a small amount of oil smoke is generated. The cooker sends the second gear (i.e. gear 2, corresponding to the medium air volume L2) as the range hood command information to the range hood.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, if the pot state is the pot placement state, the second temperature information is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold TS2 (which can be 150°C) and less than the third temperature threshold TS3 (which can be 200°C), it is judged as a scene where the bottom of the pot is high in temperature and a large amount of oil smoke is generated. At this time, it is necessary to determine the gear position of the range hood through the in-place detection device set on the pot cover.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, if the in-place detection information detected by the in-place detection device arranged on the pot cover indicates that the pot cover state is in-place, it is judged as a scene with less oil fume emission. At this time, the cooker sends the third gear (i.e. gear 3, corresponding to strong air volume L3) as the command information of the range hood to the range hood.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, if the in-place detection information detected by the in-place detection device arranged on the pot cover indicates that the pot cover state is the pot cover removed state, it is judged as a scene where more oil smoke is emitted when the pot cover is removed. At this time, the cooker sends the fourth gear (i.e. gear 4, corresponding to super strong air volume L4) as the command information of the range hood to the range hood.

[0053] Furthermore, this embodiment can also perform dry burning detection. Figure 3 As shown, if the second temperature information is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold TS3 (which can be 200°C) and less than the fourth temperature threshold TS4 (i.e., the dry-burning protection temperature, which can be 250°C), it is judged as a scene with more oil smoke. At this time, the cooker sends the fourth gear (i.e., gear 4, corresponding to super strong air volume L4) as the command information of the range hood to the range hood.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, if the second temperature information is greater than or equal to the fourth temperature threshold TS4 (i.e., the dry-burning protection temperature, which can be 250°C), it is judged as a dry-burning scene of the bottom of the pot. At this time, the cooker sends the fourth gear (i.e., gear 4, corresponding to the super strong air volume L4) as the command information of the range hood to the range hood, and the cooker also needs to send a fire-off command to the stove as the command information of the stove, and the stove is turned off.

[0055] See also Figure 4A schematic diagram of determining the range hood gear position after a stove is turned off is shown. When the stove is turned off, if the pot state is that there is no pot placed, the pot sends a hood air volume shut-off instruction to the range hood, and the range hood is turned off. If the pot state is that the pot is placed, the range hood gear position needs to be determined according to the pot cover state.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, if the in-place detection information indicates that the pot lid is in place, the cooker sends the second gear (i.e., gear 2, corresponding to the medium air volume L2) as the range hood instruction information to the range hood. The cooker then continues to detect the temperature of the pot bottom and adjusts the gear of the range hood based on the second temperature information.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, if the second temperature information is less than the second temperature threshold TS2 (which can be 150°C), the cooker sends the first gear (i.e., gear 1, corresponding to the weak air volume L1) to the range hood as the command information of the range hood. Until the second temperature information is less than the first temperature threshold TS1 (which can be 80°C), the cooker sends the range hood air volume closing instruction as the range hood command information, and the range hood is turned off.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, if the in-place detection information indicates that the pot cover state is the pot cover removed state, the cooker sends the fourth gear (i.e., gear 4, corresponding to the super strong air volume L4) as the range hood instruction information to the range hood. The cooker then continues to detect the second temperature information, and then adjusts the gear of the range hood based on the second temperature information.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, if the second temperature information is less than the second temperature threshold TS2 (which can be 150°C), the cooker sends the third gear (i.e., gear 3, corresponding to the strong air volume L3) as the range hood instruction information to the range hood. Until the second temperature information is less than the first temperature threshold TS1 (which can be 80°C), the cooker sends the range hood air volume closing instruction as the range hood instruction information, and the range hood is turned off.

[0060] The embodiment of the present invention can intelligently adjust the range hood air volume and stove gear position based on the cooking scene, comprehensively judge the amount of oil smoke generated by the pot based on the temperature of the pot bottom, the temperature of the pot cover and whether the pot cover is in place, and adjust the range hood air volume and stove gear position based on the amount of oil smoke. When there is a lot of oil smoke, the range hood air volume can be increased, and when there is less oil smoke, the range hood air volume can be lowered, so as to ensure the oil smoke absorption effect while reducing the range hood noise, and the appropriate stove firepower can also be selected.

[0061] The embodiment of the present invention provides a smart cooker, wherein a position detection device is provided on the pot cover and / or pot body of the smart cooker to detect the covering state of the pot cover on the pot body; the control module of the smart cooker controls the communication module to send corresponding instruction information to the cooker and / or the range hood according to the first temperature information collected by the first temperature sensor provided on the pot cover, the second temperature information collected by the second temperature sensor provided on the pot body, and the position detection information collected by the position detection device. In this way, the range hood air volume and the range hood gear can be intelligently selected according to the amount of oil smoke generated by the cooker in different scenarios, which can ensure the oil smoke absorption effect while reducing the noise of the range hood, and can also select the appropriate stove firepower, thereby improving the user experience.

[0062] Embodiment 2:

[0063] This embodiment provides another linkage control method for pots, stoves, and range hoods. The method is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment, and focuses on describing a method of intelligently determining whether water in the pot is boiling and reducing the firepower of the stove when the water is boiling.

[0064] In some embodiments, if the pot status is in the pot placement status, the smart cook is used to determine whether the pot lid status is the pot lid in place status or the pot lid removed status based on an in place detection device provided on the pot lid; if the pot lid status is the pot lid in place status, the smart cook is used to determine whether the water in the smart cook is boiling based on the first temperature information and the second temperature information; if the pot lid status is the pot lid removed status, the smart cook is used to determine whether the water in the smart cook is boiling based on the second temperature information.

[0065] During the cooking process, this embodiment can first determine whether the pot cover is in place or removed based on the in-place detection device set on the pot cover, and then judge whether the water in the pot is boiling based on the first temperature information representing the temperature of the pot cover and the second temperature information representing the temperature information of the bottom of the pot, and remind the user.

[0066] See also Figure 5 A schematic diagram of judging whether water in a pot is boiling is shown. When the pot cover is placed on the pot and the pot is placed on the stove (i.e., the pot state is the pot placement state and the pot cover state is the pot cover in place state), the second temperature information Tb and the first temperature information Tp are recorded in real time. Because there is water in the pot above the second temperature sensor at the bottom of the pot and the pot below is heated by fire, the second temperature information Tb will basically remain stable after rising to a certain level, and the temperature is slightly higher than the water temperature. When the water in the pot is heated, the cavity is gradually filled with steam. Since the boiling point of water is different under different air pressures, the first temperature information Tp of the pot cover will basically stabilize to a certain temperature range after rising to a certain level.

[0067] like Figure 5As shown, when the second temperature information Tb and the first temperature information Tp both reach the stable stage after the rising stage, the second temperature information Tb continues to be stable in the second temperature interval [T0, T1] within t minutes (taking 2 minutes as an example), and the first temperature information Tp continues to be stable in the first temperature interval [T2, T3], taking [95, 105] as an example, it is judged as steaming cooking and the water in the pot has boiled. At this time, both the pot end and the APP (application) end of the mobile phone can remind: the water has boiled, please proceed to the next cooking step.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, when a pot without a lid is placed on the stove (i.e., the pot state is the pot placement state and the lid state is the lid removal state), the second temperature information Tb is recorded in real time. When the second temperature information Tb reaches the stable stage after the rising stage, the second temperature information Tb continues to be stable in the second temperature interval [T0, T1] within t1 minutes (taking 5 minutes as an example). Here, taking [100-120] as an example, it is judged as steaming and cooking and the water in the pot has boiled. At this time, both the pot end and the mobile phone APP end remind: the water has boiled, please proceed to the next step of cooking.

[0069] The embodiment of the present invention can intelligently determine whether the water in the pot is boiling, and comprehensively determine whether the water in the pot is boiling based on the temperature information of the pot cover and the pot bottom. When the water is boiling, the cook is notified in time, saving cooking energy consumption.

[0070] In some embodiments, if the water in the smart cooker boils, the smart cooker is used to determine the gear position of the stove according to the first temperature information, the second temperature information, the pot state and / or the lid state; the smart cooker uses the gear position of the stove as the instruction information of the stove.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment can reduce the firepower of the stove when the water in the pot boils, thereby reducing or avoiding overflowing of the pot.

[0072] After determining that the water has boiled, when the pot lid is placed on the pot and the pot is placed on the stove (that is, the pot state is the pot placement state and the pot lid state is the pot lid in place state), the pot notifies the stove to lower the firepower by one level, and determines whether the second temperature information Tb is stable in the second temperature interval [T0, T1] within t2 minutes (2 minutes as an example), and whether the first temperature information Tp is stable in the first temperature interval [T2, T3], where the temperature range is [95, 105]; if both are within the range, the pot notifies the stove to lower the firepower by another level, until the second temperature information Tb is continuously lower than the first temperature interval [T0, T1] or the first temperature information Tp is continuously lower than the second temperature interval [T2, T3] within t2 minutes, and the pot notifies the stove to increase the firepower by one level and then stabilize the firepower.

[0073] When a pot without a lid is placed on the stove (i.e., the pot state is the pot placement state and the pot lid state is the lid removal state), it is determined whether the second temperature information Tb of the pot is stable in the second temperature interval [T0, T1] within t3 minutes (3 minutes as an example), and the range is selected as [100, 120]. If it is within the range, the pot notifies the stove to reduce the firepower by one level. Until the second temperature information Tb is continuously lower than the second temperature interval [T0, T1] within t2 minutes, the pot notifies the stove to increase the firepower by one level and then stabilize the firepower.

[0074] The embodiment of the present invention can reduce the firepower of the stove when the water boils, thereby reducing or avoiding overflowing of the pot. After the water boils, the pot notifies the stove to reduce the firepower, thereby reducing the boiling degree of the water in the pot, thereby reducing or avoiding overflowing of the pot.

[0075] The above method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can intelligently adjust the air volume of the range hood based on the cooking scene, comprehensively judge the amount of oil smoke generated by the pot based on the temperature of the pot bottom, the temperature of the pot cover and whether the pot cover is in place, and adjust the air volume of the range hood based on the amount of oil smoke. When the amount of oil smoke is large, the air volume of the range hood is increased, and when the amount of oil smoke is small, the air volume of the range hood is reduced, so as to ensure the oil smoke absorption effect while reducing the noise of the range hood. It is possible to intelligently judge whether the water in the pot is boiling, and comprehensively judge whether the water in the pot is boiling based on the temperature information of the pot cover and the bottom of the pot. When the water is boiling, the cook is notified in time to save cooking energy. It is also possible to reduce the firepower of the stove when the water is boiling to reduce or avoid overflowing the pot. After the water boils, the pot notifies the stove to reduce the firepower to reduce the boiling degree of the water in the pot, thereby reducing or avoiding the overflowing pot scene.
