[0022] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for cabinet control, comprising:

[0024] Step S101, obtaining the firepower value of the stove and its corresponding duration;

[0025] Step S102, obtaining the cooking type according to the firepower value and its corresponding duration;

[0026] Step S103, obtaining the remaining cooking time according to the cooking type;

[0027] Step S104, triggering the cabinet to open according to the remaining cooking time.

[0028] By adopting the method for cabinet control provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cooking type and the remaining cooking time can be obtained through the firepower value of the stove and its corresponding duration, and the cabinet can be controlled to perform related actions according to the obtained remaining cooking time. The cabinet and the stove can be linked, which is convenient for the user to take the tableware in time when the cooking is finished, thereby improving the user's cooking experience.

[0029] In some embodiments, the fire power value of the cooker is obtained through a potentiometer.

[0030] Optionally, the cooking type is obtained according to the firepower value and its corresponding duration, including: obtaining a sample point according to the firepower value and its corresponding duration; and obtaining the cooking type corresponding to the sample point according to the sample point.

[0031] Optionally, the horizontal coordinate of the sample point is the firepower value, and the vertical coordinate of the sample point is the duration corresponding to the firepower value; or, the horizontal coordinate of the sample point is the duration corresponding to the firepower value, and the vertical coordinate of the sample point is the firepower value.

[0032] In some embodiments, in order to avoid poor cooking type determination results caused by data type imbalance, the firepower value and the duration corresponding to the firepower value are normalized, and then sample points are obtained based on the normalized firepower value and the duration corresponding to the firepower value. The normalized firepower value H is obtained, H′ is the detected firepower value, and H max is the preset maximum firepower, H min is the preset minimum firepower value. Optionally, calculate The normalized firepower value Th is obtained, Th′ is the duration corresponding to the firepower value H′, Th maxis the preset maximum duration value, Th min The above scheme balances the role of the firepower value and its duration in determining the cooking type, ensures the reliability of the cooking type, and improves the accuracy of the cabinet linkage.

[0033] Optionally, obtaining the cooking type corresponding to the sample point according to the sample point includes: obtaining the distance between the sample point and each cooking reference point; obtaining the cooking type corresponding to the sample point according to the distance between the sample point and each cooking reference point. Optionally, obtaining the distance between the sample point and each cooking reference point includes: calculating Get the distance JL between the sample point and the jth cooking reference point j ; JL j is the distance from the sample point to the jth cooking reference point, H j is the fire value of the jth cooking reference point, Th j is the fire value H of the jth cooking reference point j The corresponding duration, H is the firepower value of the sample point, Th is the duration corresponding to the firepower value H of the sample point, and j is a positive integer.

[0034] Optionally, obtaining the cooking type corresponding to the sample point according to the distance between the sample point and each cooking reference point includes: determining the cooking type corresponding to the sample point according to the minimum distance between the sample point and each cooking reference point. When the distance between the sample point and the i-th cooking reference point is the shortest, the cooking type of the i-th cooking reference point is determined as the cooking type of the sample point, i∈j and i is an integer. For example, there are 7 cooking reference points, and the distance between the sample point and the 4th cooking reference point is the shortest, then the cooking type of the 4th cooking reference point is determined as the cooking type of the sample point.

[0035] Optionally, obtaining the remaining cooking time according to the cooking type includes: determining the cooking time according to the cooking type; and obtaining the remaining cooking time according to the cooking time. Obtaining the remaining cooking time according to the cooking time includes:

[0036] Optionally, determining the cooking time according to the cooking type includes: matching the cooking time corresponding to the cooking type from a preset first database.

[0037] Optionally, determining the cooking time according to the cooking type includes: matching a reference cooking time data set corresponding to the cooking type from a preset second database; when all the firepower values ​​obtained within the first set time period are within the set firepower range, obtaining these reference firepower values ​​within the set firepower range within the first set time period, that is, the reference firepower value satisfies the set firepower range within the first set time period; obtaining the corresponding reference cooking time in the reference cooking time data set according to the reference firepower value; and aggregating the reference cooking times into the cooking time. Optionally, aggregating the reference cooking times into the cooking time includes: calculating Get cooking time T, THC x is the duration corresponding to the xth reference firepower value in the first set time period, TC x is the reference cooking time corresponding to the xth reference firepower value, THZ is the first set time period, x is a positive integer, and n is a positive integer. In actual operation, the firepower value is usually in different states during a cooking process. The above scheme can consider the different effects of multiple firepower values, and can more accurately predict the cooking time. By dynamically adjusting the cooking time according to the different cooking methods of the user, the cabinet linkage can be better achieved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first database and the second database are the same database.

[0039] Optionally, after the cooking time is obtained, the remaining cooking time is obtained by subtracting the firing time from the cooking time. Optionally, after the firing time is subtracted from the cooking time, the remaining cooking time is obtained by subtracting the preset time, so that the cabinet can be opened in advance, which is convenient for the user to take the tableware.

[0040] In some embodiments, the database is a database of cooking times corresponding to preset cooking types, as shown in Table 1, which is an example table of a database of cooking times corresponding to preset cooking types.

[0041] Cooking Type Cooking time Stir-fry 3 minutes stew 120 minutes Braised 40 minutes

[0042] Table 1 Example database table of preset cooking types corresponding to cooking times

[0043] Optionally, triggering the cabinet to open according to the remaining cooking time includes: triggering the cabinet to open when the remaining cooking time satisfies a first set condition.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the remaining cooking time is less than or equal to a set time threshold, a signal is sent to the first motor in the cabinet so that the first motor drives the transmission mechanism to push open the cabinet door, which makes it convenient for the user to take the tableware in time when the cooking is finished. Optionally, the first motor is connected to a worm gear transmission mechanism, which is connected to a plane crank four-bar linkage through a set of meshing drive wheels, and the bracket is connected to the inner side of the cabinet box, and the plane crank four-bar linkage is movably connected to the cabinet door through its connecting rod. Under the action of the first motor, the worm gear transmission mechanism is driven to work and the meshing drive wheel is rotated, which drives the plane crank four-bar linkage to move, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the cabinet door.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the remaining cooking time is less than or equal to a set first time threshold, a signal is sent to the second motor in the cabinet so that when the cabinet door is opened, the second motor drives the transmission mechanism to push the dish rack in the cabinet out, so that the user can take the tableware more conveniently. Optionally, after the cabinet door is opened for a second time threshold, a signal is sent to the second motor in the cabinet so that the second motor drives the transmission mechanism to push the dish rack in the cabinet back into the cabinet, and then a signal is sent to the first motor in the cabinet so that the first motor drives the transmission mechanism to close the cabinet door.

[0046] Optionally, triggering the cabinet to open according to the remaining cooking time includes: reminding the user when the remaining cooking time meets the second set condition; optionally, reminding when the remaining cooking time is less than or equal to the set time threshold. Optionally, triggering the cabinet to open if no user cancellation instruction is received within a second set time period after the reminder; or, triggering the cabinet to open if a user movement instruction is received within a third set time period after the reminder; or, directly triggering the cabinet to open after reminding the user.

[0047] As time changes, the cooking types monitored at different times may change, and the corresponding time will also change. Triggering the opening and closing of cabinets according to instructions can accurately and dynamically predict the remaining cooking time, improve the accuracy of the linkage between stoves and cabinets, and enhance the user's cooking experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the remaining cooking time is equal to 60 seconds, an alarm is sent to remind the user; within a second set time period of 30 seconds when the alarm is sounded, if no instruction from the user to cancel opening the cabinet is received, a signal is sent to the motor installed in the cabinet, the motor drives the push rod to move, and the moving push rod pushes the cabinet door open, which makes it convenient for the user to take the tableware in time when cooking is finished, and also reminds the user to turn off the fire in time.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the remaining cooking time is equal to 60 seconds, an alarm is sent to remind the user; within a third set time period of 20 seconds when the alarm is sent, if a movement instruction from the user to open the cabinet is received, a signal is sent to the motor installed in the cabinet, the motor drives the push rod to move, and the moving push rod pushes the cabinet door open, which makes it convenient for the user to take the tableware in time when cooking is finished, and also reminds the user to turn off the fire in time.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the remaining cooking time is equal to 60 seconds, an alarm is sent to remind the user, and at the same time, a signal is sent to the motor installed in the cabinet, the motor drives the push rod to move, and the moving push rod pushes the cabinet door open, which makes it convenient for the user to take the tableware in time when the cooking is finished, and also reminds the user to turn off the fire in time.

[0051] In some embodiments, the firepower value of the stove is obtained as 3kw, and the duration corresponding to the 3kw firepower value is 100 minutes. According to the 3kw firepower value and the corresponding duration of 100 minutes, the cooking type is obtained as stew, and the cooking time of the stew cooking type matched from the database is 120 minutes. When it is detected that the remaining cooking time is less than or equal to 30 seconds, a signal is sent to the motor installed in the cabinet, the motor drives the push rod to move, and the moving push rod pushes the cabinet door open, which makes it convenient for the user to take the tableware in time when the cooking is finished.
