Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of health-care kettles, and in particular to a health-care kettle control method and a health-care kettle for health-care users. Background Art

[0002] A health kettle is an appliance designed for health and wellness that, in addition to boiling water, can also cook a variety of ingredients. During the heating process, different ingredients or water bodies need to be added to the kettle to cook different ingredients according to different user needs. Therefore, existing health kettles have multiple heating modes for users to heat ingredients with different needs. However, users are required to manually adjust the heating mode and set the heating power, water volume, and heating time to cook different ingredients, which brings inconvenience to users.

[0003] There are two typical application scenarios for cooking food: First, rice, a common staple food. Rice contains approximately 80% starch, making it highly digestible. Consuming 400-500g of rice daily can generally meet the body's normal carbohydrate and energy needs. However, these nutrients exceed the nutritional needs of health-conscious consumers. Furthermore, the starch in rice undergoes digestion through the action of hydrolytic enzymes in the digestive tract, ultimately hydrolyzing it into glucose for absorption. However, variations in cooking temperature and cooking time can affect the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch, ultimately affecting glucose absorption and the rate of blood sugar changes. For those with obesity and high cholesterol, improving the resistance of starch to enzymatic hydrolysis and, in turn, the digestive properties of rice can reduce digestion rates, leading to a gradual and gradual rise in blood sugar after a meal and sustained energy release. This promotes satiety while reducing sugar intake from rice.

[0004] Decoction: Traditional Chinese medicine has excellent health benefits, and health-care users can use it to regulate their bodies. Therefore, the health kettle needs to be able to decoct medicine to help health-care users control the intake of medicine. However, the decoction process requires multiple settings of the water volume and heating time in the health kettle, which greatly increases the complexity of the health kettle user.

[0005] The health kettle is too cumbersome to use. This is manifested in the following: it causes the user's rhythm of life to be disrupted at specific times, such as in the morning. The conventional solution is to use the timer function, set the health kettle mode selection in advance, then perform the timer operation, run the relevant functions at the scheduled time, and then keep the cooked food warm. This solution essentially brings the cumbersome operation forward, but the relevant operations still need to be performed, and the amount of operation required for mode switching and setting is still very large.

[0006] The existing solution has the following technical defects: 1. Because the operation of the health kettle is not performed in real time, the corresponding cooking function cannot be provided immediately, and the use is not flexible. In one embodiment, the user sets the time for automatic porridge cooking at 7:10 in the morning. If the user gets up early at 6:30 in the morning, it is necessary to reset the automatic operation time, or manually set it again to start cooking. If the user stays in bed and gets up at 8 o'clock, the health kettle will repeatedly heat the cooked porridge to keep it warm, causing the taste and digestibility of the porridge to fail to meet expectations, affecting the user's use. 2. The timing function makes the health kettle single-purpose during the timing period, affecting the use of regular users. If regular users need to boil water to make coffee, they need to cancel the timing and reset it after use. The above problems have greatly increased the complexity of using the health kettle. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to propose a health kettle control method and health kettle for health care users based on historical records and identity-based mode adjustment, so as to adapt to the user's various control needs for the health kettle over a period of time.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a health kettle control method for health care users, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A method for controlling a health-care kettle for health-care users, the method comprising:

[0010] The corresponding relationship between the time period and the mode operation is set. The specific setting method includes: within a sliding period of thirty days, when the user uses the low-sugar cooking mode or the decoction mode, recording the first corresponding relationship between the operation time, mode and corresponding setting parameters, wherein the operation time includes hours, minutes and seconds, and the setting parameters include heating time, water consumption and heating power; when the number of the first corresponding relationships with the same mode exceeds twenty times within a continuous period of twenty minutes, recording the second corresponding relationship between the time period, mode and corresponding setting parameters, wherein the start time of the time period is the earliest operation time in the first corresponding relationship with the same mode, and the end time is the latest operation time in the first corresponding relationship, and the setting parameter is recorded as the setting parameter used the most times in the first corresponding relationship; the operation mode of the health kettle includes at least two modes for health users, namely the low-sugar cooking mode and the decoction mode, and at least one mode for ordinary users, such as the water boiling mode;

[0011] When a user uses the health pot, the user's identity is verified. If the user is not a health care user, the ingredients in the health pot are cooked according to the user's operation;

[0012] When the user is a health care user, the operation time is retrieved from all time periods of the second corresponding relationships. When the operation time falls within any of the time periods, the health pot is operated in the mode with corresponding set parameters according to the corresponding second corresponding relationship to cook food; when the operation time does not fall within any time period, the ingredients in the health pot are cooked according to the user's operation.

[0013] Furthermore, the method further includes: setting default parameters for the low-sugar cooking mode and the decoction mode, and the user adjusting the default parameters when using the low-sugar cooking mode or the decoction mode to obtain the set parameters and cook;

[0014] When the number of first corresponding relationships for the cooking mode exceeds twenty, the value of the default parameter is replaced by the value of the setting parameter that is used the most times, or when the number of first corresponding relationships for the decoction mode exceeds twenty, the value of the default parameter is replaced by the value of the setting parameter that is used the most times;

[0015] When the setting parameter that is used most frequently changes, the default parameter is updated by the value of the setting parameter to adjust the default parameter of the mode for healthcare users.

[0016] Furthermore, the method further includes: setting a default second correspondence between the low-sugar cooking mode and the decoction mode;

[0017] When recording a second correspondence between a time period, a mode, and a corresponding setting parameter, canceling the default second correspondence when the time period overlaps with the time period of the default second correspondence;

[0018] When the first corresponding relationship with the earliest operation time or the first corresponding relationship with the latest operation time within 20 consecutive minutes changes in the sliding period of 30 days, the time period in the second corresponding relationship is updated.

[0019] Furthermore, when the health pot is operated in the low-sugar cooking mode to cook food, the heating includes:

[0020] Add rice to the health pot through the feeding box;

[0021] Add clean water into the health pot through the water inlet component and drain the water out through the drainage component to wash the rice;

[0022] The water inlet component adds water for cooking rice into the health pot according to the weight of the rice and the set proportion;

[0023] Quickly raise the temperature inside the health pot to the lower limit of the water absorption temperature range;

[0024] slowly heating the food in the pot by low-power heating within the water absorption temperature range until the water temperature reaches the upper limit of the water absorption temperature range and maintaining a constant temperature at the upper limit of the water absorption temperature range;

[0025] When the health kettle works in the water absorption temperature range for a preset time, the water temperature is raised to the quasi-boiling temperature through high-power heating, and the temperature is kept constant at the quasi-boiling temperature until the time the health kettle keeps the constant temperature at the quasi-boiling temperature reaches a preset value, and then the heating is stopped.

[0026] Furthermore, when the health pot is operated in the decoction mode to cook food, the heating includes:

[0027] Add medicinal materials into the health pot through the feeding box;

[0028] Add water to the health pot through the water inlet component, and then drain the water out of the health pot through the drainage component to clean the medicinal materials;

[0029] The water inlet component adds water in the pot according to the weight of the medicinal materials and the set proportion, and the medicinal materials are decocted at a constant temperature according to the set decoction time and temperature;

[0030] The medicinal soup in the health pot is drawn out into the temporary storage chamber through the suction pump and the suction tube.

[0031] Furthermore, the method of adding water according to a set ratio based on the weight of the medicinal materials specifically includes:

[0032] When the kettle is empty, record the empty weight of the health kettle;

[0033] After the medicinal materials are put into the health-preserving pot, the weight of the medicine when the medicine is loaded is recorded, and the weight of the water in the health-preserving pot is determined according to the difference between the weight of the medicine and the weight of the empty pot and the set ratio;

[0034] Add water until the weight of the health pot, medicine and water reaches the water filling weight.

[0035] Furthermore, the constant temperature heating method specifically includes:

[0036] During the process of heating the food in the health pot to the target temperature, the heating power of the health pot and the heating time required to raise the temperature of the food in the health pot by 5 degrees Celsius are recorded and updated;

[0037] When the temperature of the food in the health pot reaches the target temperature, the health pot is heated at a constant temperature through constant temperature power and timing is set;

[0038] When the temperature of the food in the health pot changes by 5 degrees Celsius, the time required for the temperature of the food in the health pot to change by 5 degrees Celsius under constant temperature power is determined according to the timing;

[0039] The power adjustment coefficient is determined by multiplying the ratio between the heating power and the heating time by the ratio between the temperature change time and the constant power;

[0040] The constant temperature power is updated according to the power adjustment coefficient.

[0041] Furthermore, after determining the power adjustment coefficient, the method further includes:

[0042] The weight and temperature of the food in the health pot are detected, and when the change in the weight of the food in the health pot exceeds a weight fluctuation threshold and the change in the temperature of the food in the health pot exceeds a temperature fluctuation threshold, the constant temperature heating is performed.

[0043] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application further provides a health pot adopting the following technical solution:

[0044] A health-preserving kettle, comprising a kettle body, a heating plate, a water pump, a drain valve, a feeding box, a liquid pipe, a liquid pump, a temporary storage chamber, a temperature sensor and a controller, wherein the kettle body is assembled and connected with the heating plate.

[0045] The feeding box is used to put the pre-stored food into the kettle body by opening the baffle at the bottom of the box under the control of the controller;

[0046] The water adding pump is used to add water into the kettle body under the control of the controller;

[0047] The drain valve is used to open under the control of the controller to discharge the waste water used to wash the medicinal materials in the kettle body;

[0048] The liquid suction pump is used to suck the medicinal soup from the pot body into the temporary storage cavity through the liquid suction tube under the control of the controller;

[0049] The temperature sensor is used to obtain the temperature under the control of the controller;

[0050] The controller is also used for timing.

[0051] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure sensor, the heating plate is arranged at the bottom of the kettle body, and the pressure sensor is arranged on the top of the heating plate, and detects the downward pressure of the bottom of the kettle body when the heating plate and the kettle body are assembled. It also includes a slag removal port opened on the side wall of the kettle body for removing residue in the health pot.

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following main beneficial effects: the time when the user uses the health pot in a specific working mode for health care users is recorded through historical records, and the working mode commonly used by the health care user in a specific time period is determined based on a certain amount of historical records, so that in this time period, according to the user's identity as a health care user, the health pot automatically selects the corresponding mode to cook the ingredients in the pot.

[0053] According to the second correspondence between the set time and the working mode, the health kettle is controlled to automatically cook the food in the pot at a specific time. In this way, according to the usage habits of health care users, the health kettle can be started to cook the food in the pot in a specific way according to the user's identity verification at a specific time period.

[0054] By setting three working modes and under the operation of health care users in specific time periods, the health pot can automatically heat the ingredients in specific modes and parameter settings. This simplifies the entire process of operations of the health pot by users, especially health care users, preventing repeated heating and repeated adjustment of functional modes, thereby simplifying the use process of the health pot.

It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0061] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0062] refer to Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of an embodiment of a health kettle control method for health care users according to the present application.

[0063] In this embodiment, the electronic device (eg Figure 1 The server / terminal device shown in the figure can request or receive data and information through a wired connection or a wireless connection. It should be noted that the above-mentioned wireless connection method may include but is not limited to 3G / 4G connection, WiFi connection, Bluetooth connection, WiMAX connection, Zigbee connection, UWB (ultra wideband) connection, and other wireless connection methods currently known or to be developed in the future.

[0064] A method for controlling a health-care kettle for health-care users, the method comprising:

[0065] Step S100: Setting a correspondence between time periods and mode operations. The specific setting method includes: within a sliding period of thirty days, when the user uses the low-sugar cooking mode or the decoction mode, recording a first correspondence between the operation time, mode, and corresponding setting parameters, wherein the operation time includes hours, minutes, and seconds, and the setting parameters include heating time, water consumption, and heating power; when the number of the first correspondences with the same mode exceeds twenty times within a continuous twenty-minute time period, recording a second correspondence between the time period, mode, and corresponding setting parameters, wherein the start time of the time period is the earliest operation time in the first correspondences with the same mode, and the end time is the latest operation time in the first correspondences, and the setting parameters are recorded as the setting parameters used the most times in the first correspondences; the operation modes of the health kettle include at least two modes for health users, the low-sugar cooking mode and the decoction mode, and at least one mode for ordinary users, such as a water boiling mode;

[0066] Operation time is recorded in hours, minutes, and seconds, regardless of date. The system maintains a record of the first correspondence for 30 days and compiles statistics for the operation time in the first correspondence. Because operation time is recorded in hours, minutes, and seconds, if the time interval between hours, minutes, and seconds on different dates is less than 20 minutes, the first correspondence corresponding to the two operation times is included in the statistics for the second correspondence. The aforementioned 30-day period is updated on a sliding basis, meaning that if the health care user's lifestyle changes, the second correspondence is re-established, and any second correspondence that does not reflect the health care user's changes is deleted. The statistics for the first correspondence and the establishment of the second correspondence are only for the two modes for health care users, low-sugar rice cooking mode and decoction mode. Modes for ordinary users, such as boiling water, brewing coffee, and brewing tea, are not counted. These modes are either simple to operate or users are accustomed to controlling them at any time, eliminating the need for automatic control of specific modes at specific times to simplify operation. Therefore, they do not need to be recorded. The second correspondence is only established for specific modes, resulting in clearer control logic and easier operation.

[0067] Step S200: When a user uses the health pot, the user's identity is verified. If the user is not a healthcare user, the ingredients in the health pot are cooked according to the user's operation;

[0068] Step S300: When the user is a health care user, the operation time is retrieved in all time periods of the second corresponding relationship. When the operation time falls within any of the time periods, the health pot is operated in the mode with corresponding set parameters to cook food according to the corresponding second corresponding relationship; when the operation time does not fall within any time period, the ingredients in the health pot are cooked according to the user's operation.

[0069] Regarding the specific method of verifying the user's identity, in one embodiment, a specific button can be used to switch the user's identity. For example, only when the button representing the health care user is pressed and lights up, the operation is judged based on the operation time and the second corresponding relationship. Similarly, user identity control can be based on mechanical or electronic means such as gear shifters and dials. In another embodiment, voice control can be used to inform the health kettle to operate under the identity of the health care user.

[0070] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following main beneficial effects: the time when the user uses the health pot in a specific working mode for health care users is recorded through historical records, and the working mode commonly used by the health care user in a specific time period is determined based on a certain amount of historical records, so that in this time period, according to the user's identity as a health care user, the health pot automatically selects the corresponding mode to cook the ingredients in the pot.

[0071] On the premise of eliminating the impact of setting timing operations on ordinary users' daily use of the health kettle, it helps health care users to operate the health kettle with very few operations, while preventing the problem of repeated heating caused by inaccurate start time due to timing operations.

[0072] According to the second correspondence between the set time and the working mode, the health kettle is controlled to automatically cook the food in the pot at a specific time. In this way, according to the usage habits of health care users, the health kettle can be started to cook the food in the pot in a specific way according to the user's identity verification at a specific time period.

[0073] In one embodiment, the parameters in the water boiling process are set to corresponding gears. For example, the water volume parameters are set to five gears of 1.25L, 1.5L, 1.75L, 2L, and 2.5L. The water volume parameters are selected from these five specific values. Similarly, the heating power is set to three power gears of 100W, 200W, and 300W, and the heating time is set to 3 minutes, 3.5 minutes... and several gears. Therefore, when counting the use of the parameters appearing in the first corresponding relationship, the number of times each parameter option appears can be counted, and the option with the largest number of appearances can be selected as the value of the parameter in the second corresponding relationship.

[0074] By setting three working modes and under the operation of health care users in specific time periods, the health pot can automatically heat the ingredients in specific modes and parameter settings. This simplifies the entire process of operations of the health pot by users, especially health care users, preventing repeated heating and repeated adjustment of functional modes, thereby simplifying the use process of the health pot.

[0075] Furthermore, the method further includes: setting default parameters for the low-sugar cooking mode and the decoction mode, and the user adjusting the default parameters when using the low-sugar cooking mode or the decoction mode to obtain the set parameters and cook;

[0076] When the number of first corresponding relationships for the cooking mode exceeds twenty, the value of the default parameter is replaced by the value of the setting parameter that is used the most times, or when the number of first corresponding relationships for the decoction mode exceeds twenty, the value of the default parameter is replaced by the value of the setting parameter that is used the most times;

[0077] When the setting parameter that is used most frequently changes, the default parameter is updated by the value of the setting parameter to adjust the default parameter of the mode for healthcare users.

[0078] This solution reduces the amount of operations a user performs when using a health kettle by setting default parameters and adjusting the default parameters based on parameter adjustment records made by health care users.

[0079] Furthermore, the method further includes: setting a default second correspondence between the low-sugar cooking mode and the decoction mode;

[0080] When recording a second correspondence between a time period, a mode, and a corresponding setting parameter, canceling the default second correspondence when the time period overlaps with the time period of the default second correspondence;

[0081] When the first corresponding relationship with the earliest operation time or the first corresponding relationship with the latest operation time within 20 consecutive minutes changes in the sliding period of 30 days, the time period in the second corresponding relationship is updated.

[0082] The establishment of the second correspondence is based on statistics within a sliding cycle of 30 days. On this basis, setting at least one set of default second correspondences allows health care users to easily operate the health kettle when they first use it. On this basis, after the user has used the health kettle for a period of time, sufficient data is generated to establish a personalized second correspondence. If the second correspondence generated based on the health care user's use overlaps with the default second correspondence, the new second correspondence replaces the default second correspondence. This ensures that the time period and parameter settings of the second correspondence are more accurate. In addition, the time period in the second correspondence is updated through data changes in the sliding cycle to ensure that the second correspondence is consistent with the usage habits of the health care user. This improves the accuracy of the second correspondence.

[0083] Furthermore, when the health pot is operated in the low-sugar cooking mode to cook food, the heating includes:

[0084] Add rice to the health pot through the feeding box;

[0085] Add clean water into the health pot through the water inlet component and drain the water out through the drainage component to wash the rice;

[0086] The water inlet component adds water for cooking rice into the health pot according to the weight of the rice and the set proportion;

[0087] Quickly raise the temperature inside the health pot to the lower limit of the water absorption temperature range;

[0088] Rice easily absorbs water in higher water temperatures, and excessively high water temperatures can easily cause the starch in the rice to gelatinize, making the nutrients in the rice easily absorbed by the human body. This is not conducive to users who need to control their sugar intake. Therefore, the water absorption temperature range is set according to the temperature range in which rice gelatinizes, and the temperature is controlled within the water absorption temperature range to allow the rice to absorb water as quickly as possible without causing excessive gelatinization, thereby accelerating cooking.

[0089] slowly heating the food in the pot by low-power heating within the water absorption temperature range until the water temperature reaches the upper limit of the water absorption temperature range and maintaining a constant temperature at the upper limit of the water absorption temperature range;

[0090] The gelatinization temperature of rice starch is between 50 and 80 degrees Celsius, and the degree of gelatinization is relatively low below 70 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is appropriate to control the temperature of rice water absorption below 70 degrees Celsius. A water absorption temperature range between 50 and 70 degrees Celsius is set. Within this temperature range, the rice reaches a higher temperature to quickly absorb water without quickly gelatinizing. When the temperature rises to the upper limit of the water absorption temperature range, if the time the rice stays in the water absorption temperature range does not exceed a preset value, the temperature is maintained constant at the upper limit of the water absorption temperature range to promote rice water absorption and prevent rapid gelatinization of the starch in the rice.

[0091] When the health kettle works in the water absorption temperature range for a preset time, the water temperature is raised to the quasi-boiling temperature through high-power heating, and the temperature is kept constant at the quasi-boiling temperature until the time the health kettle keeps the constant temperature at the quasi-boiling temperature reaches a preset value, and then the heating is stopped.

[0092] Boiling rice causes the rice grains to tumble, rub, and collide violently within the pot. To reduce digestibility, the rice needs to be kept boiling for a shorter time while ensuring it's cooked thoroughly. Therefore, the temperature is kept constant at a near-boiling point—97 degrees Celsius in this example—to promote cooking and prevent excessive gelatinization.

[0093] In summary, the primary nutrient in rice is starch, which undergoes gelatinization during cooking. Starch can be categorized according to its digestibility: rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, and resistant starch. Both slowly digestible and resistant starches reduce the digestion rate, maintaining blood sugar homeostasis after eating rice. Further research has found that prolonged cooking promotes starch gelatinization, accelerating starch digestion, leading to a decrease in rice's digestibility and a rapid increase in blood sugar levels after consumption. Furthermore, the degree of gelatinization of rice starch varies at different temperatures. Further research has shown that the gelatinization temperature of rice starch ranges from 50 to 80°C, with minimal gelatinization below 70°C. Therefore, rice cooking can be divided into three stages. In the first stage, the ambient temperature is raised to the water absorption temperature range. In the second stage, the rice is kept within this range to absorb water, reducing the soaking time. In the third stage, the rice is heated to a near-boiling temperature to quickly cook and prevent gelatinization during boiling. This approach effectively controls the difficulty of the sugars in rice being absorbed by the user.

[0094] Add rice to the matching feeding box, add ingredients to the pot at the set time, and then cook, which simplifies the user's operation.

[0095] Furthermore, when the health pot is operated in the decoction mode to cook food, the heating includes:

[0096] Add medicinal materials into the health pot through the feeding box;

[0097] Add water to the health pot through the water inlet component, and then drain the water out of the health pot through the drainage component to clean the medicinal materials;

[0098] The water inlet component adds water in the pot according to the weight of the medicinal materials and the set proportion, and the medicinal materials are decocted at a constant temperature according to the set decoction time and temperature;

[0099] The medicinal soup in the health pot is extracted through the suction pump and the suction tube.

[0100] Specifically, at the set time, the medicinal materials are put into the pot through the feeding box. The decoction of Chinese medicine requires washing the medicinal materials, and then adding water according to the number of decoctions, and decocting the soup at a certain temperature. When extracting the soup, the remaining medicinal materials can be soaked in water and decocted a second time. Usually, a set of Chinese medicine can be decocted two to three times, and then the residue is cleaned. In the decoction mode, water is added according to the weight of the medicinal materials and heated at a specific temperature. The soup is then extracted and stored in the temporary storage chamber, which improves the convenience of diabetic patients in decocting medicines through the health pot.

[0101] Furthermore, when the working time period is the morning period, 8 times the weight of water is added according to the weight of the medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials in the pot are decocted for 2 hours;

[0102] When the working time period is the afternoon period or the night period, 6 times the weight of water is added according to the weight of the medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials in the pot are decocted for 1.5 hours.

[0103] Specifically, Chinese medicine is usually not left overnight. The first decoction is done in the morning, the second in the afternoon, and the second to third times at night. The decoction mode is designed for diabetic patients who use the health kettle at specific times. The decoction mode controls parameters such as water addition and decoction time, taking into account the time period, simplifying the user's convenience. The kettle also automatically adds ingredients, rinses, and adds water at the set time, allowing decoction to proceed according to the set time.

[0104] In one embodiment, the morning period is set to 5:00 AM to 11:00 AM, the afternoon period is set to 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and the night period is set to 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM. According to historical records, users usually use the decoction mode during the working hours of 7:13 AM to 7:27 AM. The second correspondence is set. At the set time of 7:13 AM, the health kettle automatically activates the decoction mode, adds eight times the amount of water according to the weight of the medicinal materials, and decocts the medicinal materials for two hours.

[0105] Furthermore, the method of adding water according to a set ratio based on the weight of the medicinal materials specifically includes:

[0106] When the kettle is empty, record the empty weight of the health kettle;

[0107] After the medicinal materials are put into the health-preserving pot, the weight of the medicine when the medicine is loaded is recorded, and the weight of the water in the health-preserving pot is determined according to the difference between the weight of the medicine and the weight of the empty pot and the set ratio;

[0108] Add water until the weight of the health pot, medicine and water reaches the water filling weight.

[0109] Specifically, the decoction of Chinese medicine and some nourishing stews requires the addition of an appropriate amount of water. The amount of water added is usually proportional to the weight of the medicinal materials and ingredients. The weight of the medicinal materials and ingredients can be determined by recording the change in the reading of the pressure sensor at the bottom of the health pot. The pressure reading is monitored during the water addition process to determine the weight of the added water, thereby realizing the monitoring of the weight of the added water. This solution can accurately control the amount of water added.

[0110] The weight of added water and medicine is monitored using a pressure sensor. The pressure value is obtained by applying vertical pressure to the pressure sensor, which is then converted into the weight of the pot and the ingredients inside. Adding water and medicine typically occur at different times, and the pressure sensor readings change significantly differently when adding water and medicine. Specifically, when adding medicine, because the herbs can be added together over a period of time, the instantaneous change in the pressure sensor is large. However, as water is added, the pressure sensor reading continues to increase. The controller captures and records the weight of the herbs and water added based on the trend of the pressure sensor readings.

[0111] Furthermore, the constant temperature heating method specifically includes:

[0112] During the process of heating the food in the health pot to the target temperature, the heating power of the health pot and the heating time required to raise the temperature of the food in the health pot by 5 degrees Celsius are recorded and updated;

[0113] When the temperature of the food in the health pot reaches the target temperature, the health pot is heated at a constant temperature through constant temperature power and timing is set;

[0114] When the temperature of the food in the health pot changes by 5 degrees Celsius, the time required for the temperature of the food in the health pot to change by 5 degrees Celsius under constant temperature power is determined according to the timing;

[0115] The power adjustment coefficient is determined by multiplying the ratio between the heating power and the heating time by the ratio between the temperature change time and the constant power;

[0116] The constant temperature power is updated according to the power adjustment coefficient.

[0117] Specifically, the power adjustment coefficient is calculated by multiplying the ratio of the heating time by the ratio of the temperature change time to the constant power, and can determine the difference in the existing constant power in order to limit the temperature of the food in the health pot to a constant level. When under constant power, if the temperature variation range is less than 5 degrees Celsius for a long time, it is considered to maintain a constant temperature, and the constant temperature power is not adjusted. This solution can dynamically adjust the heating power of the health pot so that the health pot maintains a constant temperature at different target temperatures. By maintaining a constant temperature at an appropriate temperature to achieve cooking and insulation of food, this solution contributes to the implementation of automated food cooking.

[0118] Furthermore, after determining the power adjustment coefficient, the method further includes:

[0119] The weight and temperature of the food in the health pot are detected, and when the change in the weight of the food in the health pot exceeds a weight fluctuation threshold and the change in the temperature of the food in the health pot exceeds a temperature fluctuation threshold, the constant temperature heating is performed.

[0120] Specifically, when new food or medicinal materials are added to the health pot, the dynamic balance of constant temperature may be broken. At this time, the temperature of the food or medicinal materials in the health pot is detected. If the temperature of the food or medicinal materials has changed significantly, usually decreased, it is necessary to re-execute the constant temperature heating step to control the temperature near the target temperature, and adjust the power to control the food or medicinal materials in the health pot to achieve constant temperature heating near the target temperature.

[0123] Further references Figure 2 , as a response to the above Figure 1 To implement the method shown, the present application also provides an embodiment of a health-preserving kettle.

[0124] A health-preserving kettle, comprising a kettle body 100, a heating plate 200, a water pump 300, a drain valve 400, a liquid pipe 500, a liquid pump 600, a temporary storage chamber 800, a feeding box 900, a temperature sensor and a controller. The kettle body is assembled and connected to the heating plate.

[0125] The feeding box 900 is used to add pre-stored food into the kettle body by opening the baffle at the bottom of the box under the control of the controller;

[0126] The water adding pump 300 is used to add water into the kettle body 100 under the control of the controller;

[0127] The drain valve 400 is used to open under the control of the controller to discharge the waste water used to wash the medicinal materials in the kettle body 100;

[0128] The liquid suction pump 600 is used to suck the medicinal soup from the kettle body 100 into the temporary storage chamber 800 through the liquid suction tube 500 under the control of the controller;

[0129] The temperature sensor is used to obtain the temperature under the control of the controller;

[0130] The controller is also used for timing.

[0131] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding box 900 includes a box body and a baffle. The box body is arranged above the kettle body 100, and the baffle is arranged at the bottom of the box body. The baffle separates the box body and the kettle body 100. Under the control of the controller, the baffle opens, and the food pre-stored in the box falls into the kettle body through the opening between the box body and the kettle body 100 formed after the baffle moves.

[0132] The water pump 300 is connected to the water source and pumps clean water into the kettle body 100 for washing medicinal materials and adding water for decocting medicinal materials or food ingredients. The drain valve is usually set at the bottom of the kettle body 100. Open the drain valve to drain the waste water used to wash the medicinal materials. The suction pipe 500 passes through a point on the side wall of the kettle body 100, so that one end of the suction pipe 500 is inside the kettle body and the other end is outside the kettle body. The suction pump 600 pumps the medicinal soup in the kettle out of the kettle body 100 and into the temporary storage chamber 800 for the user to use. The user receives it through a matching container for drinking. This solution is conducive to the repeated boiling of traditional Chinese medicine in the health kettle.

[0133] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is included. The heating plate 200 is located at the bottom of the kettle body, and the pressure sensor is located on top of the heating plate 200. When the heating plate and kettle body are assembled, the pressure sensor detects the downward pressure from the bottom of the kettle body. This solution detects the pressure exerted by the kettle body 100 and the ingredients inside the kettle body 100 on the pressure sensor and converts it into the change in the weight of the ingredients and water inside the kettle body 100. This solution has a fast response and good timeliness in weight detection, which can improve the accuracy of the weight detection of the ingredients, herbs, and water inside the kettle body 100.

[0134] Furthermore, the invention also includes a slag removal port 700 provided on the side wall of the pot body. This solution facilitates the cleaning of the medicinal residue.
