[0002] When users use the temperature probe, due to different cooking experiences and different probe insertion depths, if the probe insertion depth is not appropriate, the temperature probe may fail due to high temperature, resulting in damage to the temperature probe. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a temperature detection device.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides a control method.

[0006] A third aspect of the present invention provides a control device.

[0007] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a control device.

[0008] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a readable storage medium.

[0009] A sixth aspect of the present invention provides a device.

[0010] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a temperature detection device, comprising: a first shell, including a working end; an insulating member, connected to the first shell, located at an end away from the working end; a second shell, connected to the insulating member; an electrode, located in the inner cavity of the first shell and / or the inner cavity of the second shell; a capacitance detection device, connected to the electrode and the second shell, for detecting the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell.

[0011] The technical solution of the present application proposes a temperature detection device, specifically, the temperature detection device includes an insulating member, a first shell and a second shell connected by the insulating member, an electrode located in the inner cavity of the first shell and / or the second shell, and a capacitance detection device. Among them, based on the connection relationship between the capacitance detection device and the electrode and the second shell, it can be known that the capacitance detection device is used to detect the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Since the temperature detection device needs to insert the working end into the food when in use, if the temperature detection device is inserted into the food to a relatively deep depth, the food will contact the first shell and the second shell. In this case, the capacitance value detected by the capacitance detection device is no longer the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell, but the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode. Obviously, the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode is larger than the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Based on this principle, the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food can be characterized by obtaining the capacitance value of the capacitance detection device, thereby realizing automatic detection of the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food. Compared to existing technology solutions, the temperature detection device proposed in this application can automatically detect the insertion depth of the temperature detection device into the food, eliminating the need for the user to visually observe the insertion depth of the temperature detection device when using the temperature detection device. This process reduces the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to improper insertion depth into the food, improves the reliability of the temperature detection device during use, and also increases the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0012] In addition, the temperature detection device proposed in this application also has the following additional technical features.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the capacitance detection device is located in the inner cavity of the first shell.

[0014] In this technical solution, the capacitance detection device is prone to failure in a high temperature environment.

[0015] In order to avoid the above situation, the technical solution of the present application is to set the capacitance detection device in the inner cavity of the first shell so that when the temperature detection device is inserted into the food and used, the first shell can be wrapped by the food. Correspondingly, the capacitance detection device can be wrapped by the food without excessive temperature increase, thereby reducing the probability of failure of the capacitance detection device due to high temperature, thereby improving the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0016] In any of the above technical solutions, the temperature detection device also includes: a communication antenna, located in the inner cavity of the first shell and / or the inner cavity of the second shell; an integrated circuit board, located in the inner cavity of the first shell, the integrated circuit board having a communication circuit integrated thereon, the communication circuit being connected to the communication antenna for outputting the capacitance value through the communication antenna.

[0017] In this technical solution, the temperature detection device also includes a communication antenna, which transmits the detected capacitance value. This capacitance value can then be used to determine whether the temperature detection device has been properly inserted into the food. Furthermore, using a communication antenna to transmit the capacitance value eliminates the need for wired connections to transmit the capacitance value, freeing the device from the constraints of wired connections. This also reduces the chance of the temperature detection device malfunctioning due to damage to the wired line over time.

[0018] In any of the above technical solutions, the temperature detection device further includes: an energy storage device connected to the integrated circuit board, located in the inner cavity of the first shell, and used to supply power to the integrated circuit board.

[0019] In this technical solution, the temperature detection device is limited to include an energy storage device so that the energy storage device can be used to supply power to the integrated circuit board. In this process, the temperature detection device can be freed from the constraints of the power supply line, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, the integrated circuit board is integrated with: a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature value of the working end so that the communication antenna can output temperature information.

[0021] In this technical solution, the integrated circuit board includes a temperature sensor, which detects the temperature of the working end using the temperature sensor, thereby detecting the temperature of the food. The temperature value is then output via a communication antenna, allowing a device connected to the temperature detection device to obtain the temperature value and perform control based on the temperature value.

[0022] In any of the above technical solutions, the temperature detection device further includes: an identification member located on the insulating member and arranged along the outer peripheral wall of the insulating member.

[0023] In this technical solution, an identification piece is provided to guide the user to apply force according to the identification piece when using the temperature detection device to control the insertion depth of the temperature detection device, thereby reducing the probability of high-temperature failure caused by improper use of the temperature detection device.

[0024] In any of the above technical solutions, the temperature detection device further includes: a handle connected to the second shell and away from one end of the insulating member.

[0025] In this technical solution, a handle is provided to facilitate the user to take the temperature detection device during use.

[0026] In any of the above technical solutions, the charging end is connected to the handle and is located at an end away from the second shell, and the energy storage device is respectively connected to the first shell and the charging end so as to charge the energy storage device through the first shell and the charging end.

[0027] In this technical solution, by limiting the temperature detection device to also include a charging end, based on the connection relationship between the energy storage device, the charging end, and the first shell, power supply to the energy storage device can be achieved. During this process, the energy storage device can be charged without removing the energy storage device from the first shell.

[0028] In any of the above technical solutions, the temperature detection device includes: a probe center thermometer.

[0029] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a control method for a temperature detection device as described in any one of the first aspects, comprising: obtaining the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell; and outputting a reminder message based on the comparison result between the capacitance value and the preset capacitance value.

[0030] This application proposes a control method that, by operating this control method, can automatically detect the insertion depth of a temperature detection device into food, eliminating the need for the user to visually observe the insertion depth of the temperature detection device into the food when using the temperature detection device. In this process, the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to improper insertion depth into the food is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature detection device during use and also increasing the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0031] Specifically, as can be seen from the above, the temperature detection device includes an insulating member, a first shell and a second shell connected by the insulating member, an electrode located in the inner cavity of the first shell and / or the second shell, and a capacitance detection device. Among them, based on the connection relationship between the capacitance detection device and the electrode and the second shell, it can be seen that the capacitance detection device is used to detect the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Since the temperature detection device needs to insert the working end into the food when in use, if the temperature detection device is inserted into the food to a relatively deep depth, the food will contact the first shell and the second shell. In this case, the capacitance value detected by the capacitance detection device is no longer the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell, but the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode. Obviously, the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode is larger than the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Based on this principle, the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food can be characterized by obtaining the capacitance value of the capacitance detection device, thereby realizing automatic detection of the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food.

[0032] Based on this, the technical solution of the present application determines the size of the collected capacitance value by comparing the collected capacitance value with the preset capacitance value, thereby automatically detecting the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food.

[0033] In addition, the control method proposed in this application also has the following additional technical features.

[0034] In the above technical solution, outputting reminder information according to the comparison result between the capacitance value and the preset capacitance value includes: outputting first reminder information when the capacitance value is greater than the preset capacitance value.

[0035] In this technical solution, specific conditions for outputting the first reminder information are given, that is, when the capacitance value exceeds the preset capacitance value, the first reminder information is output to remind the user that the current temperature detection device is inserted into the food at a reasonable depth, without the user having to adjust it. This reduces the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to an unreasonable depth of insertion into the food, improves the reliability of the temperature detection device during use, and at the same time, increases the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0036] In the above technical solution, outputting reminder information according to the comparison result between the capacitance value and the preset capacitance value includes: outputting second reminder information when the capacitance value is less than or equal to the preset capacitance value.

[0037] In this technical solution, by outputting a second reminder message to guide the user to timely adjust the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food, the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to unreasonable insertion depth into the food is reduced, the reliability of the temperature detection device during use is improved, and at the same time, the service life of the temperature detection device is also increased.

[0038] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a control device for a temperature detection device as described in any one of the first aspects, comprising: an acquisition unit for acquiring a capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell; and a comparison unit for outputting a reminder message based on a comparison result between the capacitance value and a preset capacitance value.

[0039] This application proposes a control device that utilizes a temperature detection device to automatically detect the insertion depth of the temperature detection device into food, eliminating the need for the user to visually observe the insertion depth of the temperature detection device into the food. This process reduces the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperatures due to improper insertion depth into the food, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature detection device during use and also increasing its service life.

[0040] Specifically, as can be seen from the above, the temperature detection device includes an insulating member, a first shell and a second shell connected by the insulating member, an electrode located in the inner cavity of the first shell and / or the second shell, and a capacitance detection device.

Obviously, the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode is larger than the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Based on this principle, the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food can be characterized by obtaining the capacitance value of the capacitance detection device, thereby realizing automatic detection of the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food.

[0041] Based on this, the technical solution of the present application determines the size of the collected capacitance value by comparing the collected capacitance value with the preset capacitance value, thereby automatically detecting the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food.

[0061] In order to more clearly understand the above aspects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0062] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0063] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 7 A temperature detection device and a control method, device, readable storage medium, and apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a temperature detection device, including: a first shell 102, including a working end; an insulating member 104, connected to the first shell 102, located at an end away from the working end; a second shell 106, connected to the insulating member 104; an electrode 108, located in the inner cavity of the first shell 102 and / or the inner cavity of the second shell 106; a capacitance detection device 110, connected to the electrode 108 and the second shell 106, for detecting the capacitance value between the electrode 108 and the second shell 106.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application provides a temperature detection device. Specifically, the temperature detection device includes an insulating member 104, a first shell 102 and a second shell 106 connected by the insulating member 104, an electrode 108 located in the inner cavity of the first shell 102 and / or the second shell 106, and a capacitance detection device 110. Based on the connection relationship between the capacitance detection device 110 and the electrode 108 and the second shell 106, it can be seen that the capacitance detection device 110 is used to detect the capacitance value between the electrode 108 and the second shell 106, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, since the temperature detection device needs to insert the working end into the food when in use, if the temperature detection device is inserted into the food to a relatively deep depth, the food will contact the first shell 102 and the second shell 106. In this case, the capacitance value detected by the capacitance detection device 110 is no longer the capacitance value between the electrode 108 and the second shell 106, but the capacitance value between the first shell 102, the second shell 106, the food and the electrode 108. Obviously, the capacitance value between the first shell 102, the second shell 106, the food and the electrode 108 is larger than the capacitance value between the electrode 108 and the second shell 106. Based on this principle, the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food can be characterized by obtaining the size of the capacitance value of the capacitance detection device 110, thereby realizing automatic detection of the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food. Compared with the existing embodiment, the temperature detection device proposed in this application can realize automatic detection of the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food, without the user having to observe the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food with the human eye when using the temperature detection device. In this process, the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to unreasonable insertion depth into the food is reduced, the reliability of the temperature detection device during use is improved, and at the same time, the service life of the temperature detection device is also increased.

[0067] In one embodiment, the working end can be understood as the end of the temperature detection device for inserting into food.

[0068] In one embodiment, the first shell 102 is configured as a cylindrical structure. Similarly, the second shell 106 is also configured as a cylindrical structure to facilitate user gripping.

[0069] In one embodiment, an insulating member 104 is provided to separate the first shell 102 and the second shell 106, providing a basis for connecting the first shell 102 and the second shell 106 using food, so as to determine whether the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food is reasonable based on the capacitance value obtained by detection.

[0070] In one embodiment, the working end is configured in a conical shape to facilitate insertion of the temperature detection device into food.

[0071] In one embodiment, the first shell 102 and the second shell 106 are metal shells. The metal shells ensure the structural strength of the shells while also ensuring the temperature transfer speed between the food and the shells, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the temperature detection device.

[0072] In one embodiment, the electrode 108 is a strip-shaped structure, which extends from the first shell 102 to the second shell 106. Specifically, the electrode 108 passes through the insulating member 104, with a portion located in the cavity corresponding to the first shell 102 and the other portion located in the cavity corresponding to the second shell 106, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the electrode 108.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the capacitance detection device 110 is located in the inner cavity of the first housing 102 .

[0074] In this embodiment, the capacitance detection device 110 is prone to failure in a high temperature environment.

[0075] In order to avoid the above situation, the embodiment of the present application arranges the capacitance detection device 110 in the inner cavity of the first shell 102, so that when the temperature detection device is inserted into the food and used, the first shell 102 can be wrapped by the food. Correspondingly, the capacitance detection device 110 can be wrapped by the food without excessive temperature increase, thereby reducing the probability of failure of the capacitance detection device 110 due to high temperature, thereby improving the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0076] In one embodiment, the capacitance detection device 110 is located at one end close to the working end.

[0077] In this embodiment, by limiting the end of the capacitance detection device 110 close to the working end, when the temperature detection device is in use, as the capacitance detection device 110 is inserted into the food to an increasing depth, the degree of protection of the capacitance detection device 110 can be improved, thereby reducing the probability of failure of the capacitance detection device 110.

[0078] In any of the above embodiments, the temperature detection device also includes: a communication antenna 112, located in the inner cavity of the first shell 102 and / or the inner cavity of the second shell 106; an integrated circuit board 114, located in the inner cavity of the first shell 102, and a communication circuit integrated on the integrated circuit board 114, which is connected to the communication antenna 112 and is used to output the capacitance value through the communication antenna 112.

[0079] In this embodiment, the temperature detection device further includes a communication antenna 112, so that the detected capacitance value can be transmitted using the communication antenna 112, thereby determining whether the temperature detection device has been inserted into the food at a reasonable depth based on the capacitance value. Furthermore, using the communication antenna 112 to transmit the capacitance value eliminates the need for the temperature detection device to transmit the capacitance value through a wired connection, freeing it from the constraints of wired connections. This also reduces the chance of the temperature detection device malfunctioning due to damage to the wired line over long-term use.

[0080] In addition, the communication antenna 112 is used to transmit the capacitance value, so that the temperature detection device can be constructed as a whole, reducing the probability of the integrated circuit board 114 being damaged due to the entry of liquid.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the communication circuit may be a Bluetooth communication circuit, a WIFI communication circuit, or other communication circuits.

[0082] In one embodiment, the communication antenna 112 is a strip antenna, and is disposed along a direction from the first housing 102 to the second housing 106 .

[0083] In one embodiment, the integrated circuit board 114 is limited to be located in the cavity of the first shell 102 so that when the temperature detection device is in normal operation, the portion of the first shell 102 containing the integrated circuit board 114 is inserted into the interior of the food, thereby reducing the risk of the integrated circuit board 114 being exposed to the cooking cavity and damaged by the high temperature environment of the cooking cavity.

[0084] In one embodiment, the capacitance detection device 110 is integrated on the integrated circuit board 114. In this case, there is no need to arrange and install the capacitance detection device 110 and the integrated circuit board 114 in the cavity of the first shell 102. Therefore, the occupation of the cavity space by the capacitance detection device 110 and the integrated circuit board 114 is reduced, providing a basis for reducing the volume of the temperature detection device.

[0085] In any of the above embodiments, the temperature detection device further includes: an energy storage device 116 , connected to the integrated circuit board 114 and located in the inner cavity of the first shell 102 , for supplying power to the integrated circuit board 114 .

[0086] In this embodiment, the temperature detection device is limited to include the energy storage device 116 so that the energy storage device 116 can be used to supply power to the integrated circuit board 114. In this process, the temperature detection device can be freed from the constraints of the power supply line, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0087] In one embodiment, the energy storage device 116 includes one or more supercapacitors. The supercapacitors are used for power supply, thereby ensuring the reliability of the temperature detection device while realizing the power supply of the temperature detection device.

[0088] In one embodiment, the energy storage device 116 is installed in the first housing 102 so as to reduce the operating temperature of the energy storage device 116 during use of the temperature detection device, thereby improving the reliability of the energy storage device 116 .

[0089] In any of the above embodiments, the integrated circuit board 114 is integrated with: a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature value of the working end so that the communication antenna 112 can output temperature information.

[0090] In this embodiment, the integrated circuit board 114 includes a temperature sensor, which is used to detect the temperature of the working end, thereby detecting the temperature of the food. The temperature value is output through the communication antenna 112 so that a device connected to the temperature detection device can obtain the temperature value and perform control based on the temperature value.

[0091] In one embodiment, the temperature sensor is integrated on the integrated circuit board 114 , thereby reducing the space occupied by the cavity when the temperature sensor and the integrated circuit board 114 are arranged at the same time, and providing a basis for reducing the volume of the temperature detection device.

[0092] In one embodiment, the temperature sensor may be a negative temperature coefficient sensor, such as a negative temperature coefficient temperature sensor.

[0093] In any of the above embodiments, the temperature detection device further includes: an identification member 118 , which is located on the insulating member 104 and is provided along the outer peripheral wall of the insulating member 104 .

[0094] In this embodiment, an identification piece 118 is provided to guide the user to apply force according to the identification piece 118 when using the temperature detection device to control the insertion depth of the temperature detection device, thereby reducing the probability of high-temperature failure caused by improper use of the temperature detection device.

[0095] In one embodiment, the identification member 118 is a strip-shaped pattern and is arranged along the circumference of the shell so that the user can clearly observe the identification member 118 when using the temperature detection device.

[0096] In one embodiment, the identification element 118 has a color, and the color can be set according to actual use needs, such as selecting red.

[0097] In one embodiment, the identification members 118 are spaced apart along the outer peripheral wall of the insulating member 104 to enhance the aesthetic design of the temperature detection device.

[0098] In one embodiment, laser screen printing is used to engrave the outer peripheral wall of the insulating member 104 to obtain the identification member 118 .

[0099] In any of the above embodiments, the temperature detection device further includes: a handle 120 connected to the second shell 106 and away from one end of the insulating member 104 .

[0100] In this embodiment, a handle 120 is provided to facilitate the user to hold the temperature detection device during use.

[0101] In one embodiment, the handle 120 is sealed with polyetheretherketone plastic, which ensures that it does not deform at high temperatures and has better stability.

[0103] In one embodiment, the handle 120 is an insulated handle 120 .

[0104] In any of the above embodiments, the charging end 122 is connected to the handle 120 and is located at an end away from the second shell 106 , and the energy storage device 116 is respectively connected to the first shell 102 and the charging end 122 so as to charge the energy storage device 116 through the first shell 102 and the charging end 122 .

[0105] In this embodiment, by limiting the temperature detection device to also include a charging terminal 122, based on the connection relationship between the energy storage device 116, the charging terminal 122, and the first shell 102, power supply to the energy storage device 116 can be achieved.

[0109] Example 2

[0110] In one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a control method for the temperature detection device of the first embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes:

[0111] Step 502, obtaining the capacitance value between the electrode and the second housing;

[0112] Step 504: outputting a reminder message based on the comparison result between the capacitance value and the preset capacitance value.

[0113] This application proposes a control method that, by operating this control method, can automatically detect the insertion depth of a temperature detection device into food, eliminating the need for the user to visually observe the insertion depth of the temperature detection device into the food when using the temperature detection device. In this process, the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to improper insertion depth into the food is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature detection device during use and also increasing the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0114] Specifically, as can be seen from the above, the temperature detection device includes an insulating member, a first shell and a second shell connected by the insulating member, an electrode located in the inner cavity of the first shell and / or the second shell, and a capacitance detection device. Among them, based on the connection relationship between the capacitance detection device and the electrode and the second shell, it can be seen that the capacitance detection device is used to detect the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Since the temperature detection device needs to insert the working end into the food when in use, if the temperature detection device is inserted into the food to a relatively deep depth, the food will contact the first shell and the second shell. In this case, the capacitance value detected by the capacitance detection device is no longer the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell, but the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode. Obviously, the capacitance value between the first shell, the second shell, the food and the electrode is larger than the capacitance value between the electrode and the second shell. Based on this principle, the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food can be characterized by obtaining the capacitance value of the capacitance detection device, thereby realizing automatic detection of the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food.

[0115] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application determines the size of the collected capacitance value by comparing the collected capacitance value with the preset capacitance value, thereby automatically detecting the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food.

[0116] The preset capacitance value may be set according to the actual usage scenario of the temperature detection device. Specifically, the preset capacitance value may be a calibrated capacitance value between the second shell and the electrode when the temperature detection device is not inserted into food.

[0117] In one embodiment, the preset capacitance value can be the sum of the calibrated capacitance value between the second shell and the electrode and the first capacitance value when the temperature detection device is not inserted into the food, wherein the first capacitance value can be understood as a fluctuating value, such as between five percent and ten percent of the calibrated capacitance value between the second shell and the electrode.

[0118] In the above embodiment, outputting the reminder information according to the comparison result between the capacitance value and the preset capacitance value includes: outputting the first reminder information when the capacitance value is greater than the preset capacitance value.

[0119] In this embodiment, specific conditions for outputting the first reminder information are given, that is, when the capacitance value exceeds the preset capacitance value, the first reminder information is output to remind the user that the current temperature detection device is inserted into the food at a reasonable depth, and the user does not need to adjust it. This reduces the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to an unreasonable depth of insertion into the food, improves the reliability of the temperature detection device during use, and at the same time, increases the service life of the temperature detection device.

[0120] In the above technical solution, outputting reminder information according to the comparison result between the capacitance value and the preset capacitance value includes: outputting second reminder information when the capacitance value is less than or equal to the preset capacitance value.

[0121] In this technical solution, by outputting a second reminder message to guide the user to timely adjust the depth of the temperature detection device inserted into the food, the probability of the temperature detection device failing due to high temperature due to unreasonable insertion depth into the food is reduced, the reliability of the temperature detection device during use is improved, and at the same time, the service life of the temperature detection device is also increased.

[0122] In one embodiment, the reminder information may be in the form of one or more of a sound reminder, a text reminder, an animation reminder, and a light reminder.

[0123] For example, when it is determined that the temperature detection device is inserted into the food at an unreasonable depth, a voice message such as "The temperature detection device is not inserted deep enough, please reinsert it" is output so that the user can adjust the insertion depth of the temperature detection device in time after hearing the above voice message.

[0124] In one embodiment, when the capacitance value is less than a preset capacitance value, the temperature value collected by the temperature detection device is output.

[0125] In this embodiment, control is performed based on the output temperature value.

[0128] This application proposes a control device 600. Utilizing a temperature detection device within the control device, the device can automatically detect the depth of insertion of the temperature detection device into food, eliminating the need for the user to visually observe the insertion depth of the temperature detection device into the food.
