[0002] Currently, compared with directly frying ingredients, more and more families or shops choose to use air fryers to cook ingredients, such as cooking chicken wings or chicken legs in air fryers. Using air fryers can not only retain the taste of fried food, but also reduce people’s intake of fat, which is conducive to ensuring people’s dietary health.

[0003] Among them, the use process of the air fryer mainly includes: placing the ingredients to be cooked into the holding cavity of the air fryer, and then the operator sets the cooking temperature and cooking time of the air fryer according to experience or operating instructions. However, practice has found that the current air fryers require manual setting of the cooking temperature and cooking time, which is cumbersome to operate, and the manually set cooking temperature and cooking time cannot guarantee the cooking effect. For example, when the cooking temperature is too low or the cooking time is too short, the ingredients to be cooked will not be cooked thoroughly.

[0064] The present invention discloses an intelligent control method and device of an air fryer, and an air fryer, which can realize intelligent determination of cooking control parameters and realize intelligent cooking of ingredients to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters, which can not only simplify the manual operation of the user, but also improve the cooking effect and cooking efficiency, thereby facilitating improving the user experience. The following are detailed descriptions respectively.

[0065] Embodiment 1

[0066] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of an intelligent control method for an air fryer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described method is applied to a control device, which is used to control the air fryer. The control device can exist independently of the air fryer or can be integrated in the air fryer, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent control method of the air fryer may include the following steps:

[0067] 101. When it is detected that the food to be cooked is placed in the air fryer, identify the food-related information corresponding to the food to be cooked.

[0068] The food-related information corresponding to the food to be cooked may include the food identification of the food to be cooked, and optionally, may also include the first current state information of the food to be cooked. Optionally, the control device may sense whether the food to be cooked is placed in the air fryer through a sensor built into the air fryer (such as a pressure sensor or a gravity sensor, etc.) or detect whether the food to be cooked is placed in the air fryer through the acquisition result of a collector (image collector) built into the air fryer, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] Further optionally, the ingredient identification of the food to be cooked may be an ingredient name identification of the food to be cooked (such as chicken legs, chicken wings, etc.) and / or an ingredient category identification of the food to be cooked (such as meat, vegetables, etc.). The ingredient identification of the food to be cooked may be identified based on the recognition device built into the air fryer, or may be determined based on a recipe manually selected or manually input by the user, or may be determined based on a combination of the two methods, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Further optionally, the first current state information of the food to be cooked includes one or more combinations of the current weight of the food to be cooked, the current contact area between the food to be cooked and the bottom of the air fryer, the composition state of the food to be cooked, the current degree of doneness of the food to be cooked, the current thawing state of the food to be cooked, the surface seasoning state of the food to be cooked, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The composition state of the food to be cooked is used to indicate that the food to be cooked is a complete food (such as a whole chicken steak) or that the food to be cooked consists of multiple sub-ingredients (such as multiple chicken steak pieces, multiple French fries, multiple chicken wings, etc.).

[0071] Further optionally, the first current state information of the food to be cooked can be determined by an image captured by an image acquisition device, or by a built-in sensor in the air fryer, or can be determined based on a combination of the two, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] 102. Determine a model based on food-related information and predetermined target cooking parameters to determine cooking control parameters that match the food to be cooked.

[0073] Among them, the determined cooking control parameters at least include a cooking time set and the cooking temperature information corresponding to each cooking time included in the cooking time set, and the cooking time set includes at least one cooking time. And when the cooking time set includes multiple cooking times, it means that the cooking of the above-mentioned ingredients to be cooked is divided into multiple cooking stages, and different cooking stages correspond to different cooking temperature information. It should be noted that the cooking temperature information corresponding to the cooking time can be a specific temperature value, or it can be specifically power information related to heating, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention can also set different cooking times and cooking temperature information for different cooking stages, which is conducive to realizing refined control of the cooking process of the air fryer.

[0074] Optionally, the cooking control parameters may also include flipping control parameters (such as flipping start time, flipping duration, flipping strength, flipping frequency, etc.) and / or seasoning spraying control parameters, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0075] Optionally, the target cooking parameter determination model is obtained by training the initial cooking parameter determination model based on the collected sample cooking parameters, the sample cooking ingredients corresponding to each sample cooking parameter, and the cooking results of the sample cooking ingredients corresponding to each sample cooking parameter. Furthermore, after the initial cooking parameter determination model is trained, it is also possible to combine the application of the target cooking parameter determination model in different scenarios to form a personalized target cooking parameter determination model for different scenarios, which can improve the matching degree between the determined cooking control parameters and the ingredients to be cooked, and can also realize personalized control operations for the air fryer, which is conducive to further improving the matching degree between the ingredients cooked based on the cooking control parameters and the eating needs of users.

[0076] 103. Based on the determined cooking control parameters, control the air fryer to perform a cooking operation for the food to be cooked.

[0077] It can be seen that the method described in the embodiment of the present invention can realize the intelligent determination of cooking control parameters and realize intelligent cooking of the ingredients to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters, which can not only simplify the user's manual operation, but also improve the cooking effect and cooking efficiency, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:

[0079] In the process of controlling the air fryer to perform a cooking operation for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters, current humidity information inside the air fryer is monitored, and it is determined whether the current humidity information meets the current humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation for the food to be cooked;

[0080] When it is determined that the current humidity information does not meet the current humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation of the food to be cooked, a matching humidity adjustment operation is performed on the interior of the air fryer so that the adjusted humidity information inside the air fryer meets the current humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation of the food to be cooked.

[0081] Optionally, the air fryer can have a built-in humidifier, which can deliver water vapor to the cooking chamber to prevent the surface of the food from being burnt due to high temperature, thereby achieving the best cooking effect.

[0082] In other optional embodiments, during the cooking process, the control device can also monitor the changes in the food ingredients, and determine whether the humidity in the cooking chamber needs to be adjusted based on the changes in the food ingredients. If so, the humidification device is controlled to deliver water vapor to the cooking chamber.

[0083] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also monitor the internal humidity of the air fryer while controlling the air fryer to cook the ingredients to be cooked based on the cooking control parameters determined intelligently, and when the monitored internal humidity does not meet the humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation performed by the air fryer, adaptive adjustment of the internal humidity of the air fryer can be achieved, which is beneficial to improving the matching degree between the internal humidity of the air fryer and the current cooking operation, thereby helping to improve the cooking effect of the air fryer, and can also reduce the occurrence of scorching on the surface of ingredients due to high cooking temperatures.

[0084] Embodiment 2

[0085] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of another intelligent control method for an air fryer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The described method is applied to a control device, which is used to control the air fryer. The control device can exist independently of the air fryer or can be integrated in the air fryer, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent control method of the air fryer may include the following steps:

[0086] 201. When it is detected that the food to be cooked is placed in the air fryer, identify the food related information corresponding to the food to be cooked.

[0087] 202. Determine whether the current state information of the food to be cooked meets the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked. When the determination result of step 202 is yes, step 205 is triggered; when the determination result of step 202 is no, step 203-step 204 is triggered.

[0088] The current state information of the food to be cooked may include the second current state information of the food to be cooked and / or the current state information of the air fryer.

[0089] Further optionally, the second current state information of the food to be cooked includes at least one of a current placement state of the food to be cooked, a current thawing state of the food to be cooked, and a current oil injection state of the food to be cooked.

[0090] Further optionally, the current status information of the air fryer includes at least one of the current status of the paper pad of the air fryer, the dryness status of the inner bottom of the air fryer, and the humidity status inside the air fryer.

[0091] For example, taking the case where the cooking status information includes the second current status information of the food to be cooked and the second current status information is the current thawed status, determining whether the current status information to be cooked meets the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked may include: determining whether the current thawed status of the food to be cooked meets the thawed status conditions required to cook the food (such as complete thaw, or the thaw degree reaches 90%, etc.), if so, triggering step 205; if not, triggering the execution of steps 203-204.

[0092] 203. Determine an influencing factor of why the to-be-cooked state does not meet the cooking conditions of the to-be-cooked food, and judge whether the influencing factor is within the adjustable factor range of the air fryer.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the judgment result of step 203 is yes, step 204 is triggered to be executed. When the judgment result of step 203 is no, the current process can be ended or a prompt can be output to prompt the corresponding personnel to handle it manually.

[0094] 204. When it is determined that the influencing factor is within the adjustable factor range of the air fryer, the air fryer is controlled according to the influencing factor to perform a state information adjustment operation matching the influencing factor, so that the adjusted state information to be cooked satisfies the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked.

[0095] For example, if the influencing factor is that the thawing state does not meet the requirements and the air fryer can achieve thawing control of the ingredients, the control device can control the air fryer to perform the thawing operation according to the current thawing state.

[0096] 205. Determine a model based on the food-related information and the predetermined target cooking parameters to determine cooking control parameters that match the food to be cooked.

[0097] 206. Control the air fryer to perform a cooking operation for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters.

[0098] For other detailed descriptions of step 201, step 205-step 206, please refer to the relevant descriptions of step 101-step 103 in embodiment 1, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated here.

[0099] It can be seen that the method described in the embodiment of the present invention can realize the intelligent determination of cooking control parameters and realize the intelligent cooking of the ingredients to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters, which can not only simplify the manual operation of the user, but also improve the cooking effect and cooking efficiency, thereby helping to improve the user experience. In addition, before determining the matching cooking control parameters, it is judged whether the cooking state information meets the cooking conditions, and the matching operation is performed based on the judgment result, which is conducive to improving the reliability, accuracy and effectiveness of the determined cooking control parameters, and reducing unnecessary cooking control parameter determination operations. In addition, when it is judged that the influencing factor that the state to be cooked does not meet the cooking conditions of the ingredients to be cooked belongs to the adjustable factor range of the air fryer, the influencing factor that the state to be cooked does not meet the cooking conditions of the ingredients to be cooked can be intelligently adjusted, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the determined cooking control parameters and improving the cooking efficiency.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, after executing step 205, the method may further include the following operations:

[0101] Obtaining current status information corresponding to the consumer after the food to be cooked is cooked;

[0102] Determining whether the determined cooking control parameter matches the current state information corresponding to the consumer; when it is determined that the cooking control parameter matches the current state information corresponding to the consumer, triggering the above-mentioned step of controlling the air fryer to perform the cooking operation for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameter;

[0103] When it is determined that the cooking control parameters do not match the current status information corresponding to the eater, an adjustment operation is performed on the determined cooking control parameters based on the status information corresponding to the eater so that the adjusted cooking control parameters match the current status information corresponding to the eater, and the above-mentioned step of controlling the air fryer to perform the cooking operation for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters is triggered.

[0104] Optionally, the current status information corresponding to the eater may include at least one of the eater's current health status, current fat loss status, current taste preference status, etc.

[0105] It can be seen that after determining the cooking control parameters, this optional embodiment can also intelligently determine whether the cooking control parameters match the current state of the eater. If so, intelligent cooking control operations are performed based on the cooking control parameters. If not, the cooking control parameters are adaptively adjusted based on the current state of the eater to improve the matching degree between the cooking control parameters and the current state of the eater, which is beneficial to improve the cooking effect.

[0106] In this optional embodiment, further optionally, after the above-mentioned step of obtaining the current status information corresponding to the eater after the food to be cooked is cooked is completed, the method may further include the following operations:

[0107] Determine whether the current state information corresponding to the consumer matches the normal state information corresponding to the consumer;

[0108] When it is determined that the current state information corresponding to the consumer matches the normal state information corresponding to the consumer, the above-mentioned step of controlling the air fryer to perform a cooking operation for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters is triggered;

[0109] When it is determined that the current state information corresponding to the consumer does not match the normal state information corresponding to the consumer, the above step of determining whether the determined cooking control parameter matches the current state information corresponding to the consumer is triggered. The normal state information corresponding to the consumer is determined based on the state information analysis of the consumer within a period of time, and is specifically used to indicate the general state of the consumer under non-special circumstances.

[0110] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also intelligently determine whether the current status information is the normal status information of the consumer after determining the current status information of the consumer. If so, no further judgment is required, and the air fryer can be directly controlled based on the determined cooking control parameters to perform matching cooking operations. If not, it is further determined whether the determined cooking control parameters match the current status of the consumer. While improving the matching degree between the cooking control parameters and the consumer's eating needs, it can also reduce unnecessary judgment operations, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of determining the cooking control parameters.

[0112] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent control device for an air fryer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The device described is used to control the air fryer. The device can exist independently of the air fryer or can be integrated into the air fryer, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent control device of the air fryer may include:

[0113] The detection module 301 is used to detect whether the food to be cooked is placed in the air fryer;

[0114] The identification module 302 is used to identify the food-related information corresponding to the food to be cooked when the detection module 301 detects that the food to be cooked is placed in the air fryer, and the food-related information includes the food identification of the food to be cooked and the first current state information of the food to be cooked;

[0115] The parameter determination module 303 is used to determine the model according to the food-related information and the predetermined target cooking parameter determination, and determine the cooking control parameters matching the food to be cooked;

[0116] The cooking control module 304 is used to control the air fryer to perform cooking operations for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters, wherein the cooking control parameters at least include a cooking time set and cooking temperature information corresponding to each cooking time included in the cooking time set, and the cooking time set includes at least one cooking time.

[0119] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0120] The monitoring module 305 is used to monitor the current humidity information inside the air fryer and determine whether the current humidity information meets the current humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation for the food to be cooked during the process in which the cooking control module 304 controls the air fryer to perform the cooking operation for the food to be cooked based on the determined cooking control parameters;

[0121] The first adjustment module 306 is used to perform a matching humidity adjustment operation on the interior of the air fryer when the monitoring module 305 determines that the current humidity information does not meet the current humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation of the food to be cooked, so that the adjusted humidity information inside the air fryer meets the current humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation of the food to be cooked.

[0122] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also monitor the internal humidity of the air fryer while controlling the air fryer to cook the food to be cooked based on the intelligently determined cooking control parameters, and when the monitored internal humidity does not meet the humidity requirement corresponding to the current cooking operation performed by the air fryer, adaptively adjust the internal humidity of the air fryer, which is beneficial to improving the matching degree between the internal humidity of the air fryer and the current cooking operation, thereby improving the cooking effect of the air fryer, and can also reduce the occurrence of scorching on the surface of the food caused by high cooking temperature.

[0123] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0124] The acquisition module 307 is used to acquire the current state information corresponding to the eater after the food to be cooked is cooked, after the parameter determination module 303 determines the cooking control parameters matching the food to be cooked according to the food related information and the predetermined target cooking parameter determination model;

[0125] The first judgment module 308 is used to judge whether the determined cooking control parameter matches the current state information corresponding to the eater; when it is judged that the cooking control parameter matches the current state information corresponding to the eater, the cooking control module 304 is triggered to execute the above-mentioned control based on the determined cooking control parameter to control the air fryer to perform the cooking operation for the food to be cooked;

[0126] The second adjustment module 309 is used to perform an adjustment operation on the determined cooking control parameters based on the status information corresponding to the eater when the first judgment module 308 determines that the cooking control parameters do not match the current status information corresponding to the eater, so that the adjusted cooking control parameters match the current status information corresponding to the eater, and trigger the cooking control module 304 to execute the above-mentioned cooking operation for the food to be cooked by controlling the air fryer based on the determined cooking control parameters.

[0127] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4After determining the cooking control parameters, the described device can also intelligently determine whether the cooking control parameters match the current state of the eater. If so, intelligent cooking control operations are performed based on the cooking control parameters. If not, the cooking control parameters are adaptively adjusted based on the current state of the eater to improve the matching degree between the cooking control parameters and the current state of the eater, which is beneficial to improve the cooking effect.

[0128] In another optional embodiment, the first judgment module 308 is also used to determine whether the current status information corresponding to the eater matches the normal status information corresponding to the eater after the acquisition module 307 acquires the current status information corresponding to the eater after the cooking of the food to be cooked is completed; when it is determined that the current status information corresponding to the eater matches the normal status information corresponding to the eater, the cooking control module 304 is triggered to execute the above-mentioned operation of controlling the air fryer based on the determined cooking control parameters to execute the cooking operation for the food to be cooked; when it is determined that the current status information corresponding to the eater does not match the normal status information corresponding to the eater, the first judgment module 308 is triggered to execute the above-mentioned operation of determining whether the determined cooking control parameters match the current status information corresponding to the eater.

[0129] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also intelligently determine whether the current status information is the normal status information of the consumer after determining the current status information of the consumer. If so, no further judgment is required, and the air fryer can be directly controlled to perform matching cooking operations based on the determined cooking control parameters. If not, it is further determined whether the determined cooking control parameters match the current status of the consumer. While improving the matching degree between the cooking control parameters and the consumer's eating needs, it can also reduce unnecessary judgment operations, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of determining the cooking control parameters.

[0130] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0131] The second judgment module 310 is used to judge whether the current state information of the food to be cooked meets the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked after the identification module 302 identifies the food related information corresponding to the food to be cooked. When it is judged that the state information of the food to be cooked meets the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked, the parameter determination module 303 is triggered to execute the above-mentioned operation of determining the cooking control parameters matching the food to be cooked based on the food related information and the predetermined target cooking parameter determination model.

[0132] Among them, the cooking status information includes the second current status information of the ingredients to be cooked and / or the current status information of the air fryer, the second current status information of the ingredients to be cooked includes at least one of the current placement status of the ingredients to be cooked, the current thawing status of the ingredients to be cooked and the current oil spraying status of the ingredients to be cooked, and the current status information of the air fryer includes at least one of the current paper pad status of the air fryer, the dry status of the inner bottom of the air fryer and the humidity status inside the air fryer.

[0133] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also judge whether the cooking status information meets the cooking conditions before determining the matching cooking control parameters, and perform matching operations based on the judgment results, which is conducive to improving the reliability, accuracy and effectiveness of the determined cooking control parameters and reducing unnecessary cooking control parameter determination operations.

[0134] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0135] The second adjustment module 311 is used to determine the influencing factor of why the state to be cooked does not meet the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked, and judge whether the influencing factor is within the adjustable factor range of the air fryer when the second judgment module 310 judges that the state information to be cooked does not meet the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked; when the judgment result is yes, control the air fryer to perform a state information adjustment operation matching the influencing factor according to the influencing factor, so that the adjusted state information to be cooked meets the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked.

[0136] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also realize intelligent adjustment of the influencing factors of the state to be cooked not meeting the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked when it is determined that the influencing factors of the state to be cooked not meeting the cooking conditions of the food to be cooked belong to the adjustable factor range of the air fryer. While improving the accuracy of the determined cooking control parameters, it is also beneficial to improve the cooking efficiency.
