Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to home appliance technology, and more particularly to a heating control method, device, electric ceramic stove, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] An electric ceramic cooktop is a cooking appliance that uses electric infrared radiation to heat cookware. The cooktop plate consists of nickel-chromium wire and an insulating plate. When the electric ceramic cooktop is working, the cooktop plate generates far-infrared rays, which are then transmitted through the cooktop panel to bake and heat the cookware.

[0003] When the area of ​​the cookware base is smaller than the heating area of ​​the stove plate, the far-infrared rays within the range of the cookware base will be absorbed by the cookware base, but the far-infrared rays outside the range of the cookware base will pass through the electric ceramic stove panel and dissipate into the air, resulting in a waste of heat and electricity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a heating control method, device, electric ceramic stove, storage medium, and program product that reduces the waste of heat and electrical energy.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a heating control method applied to an electric ceramic stove, wherein a first infrared receiving device and a second infrared receiving device are arranged symmetrically around the cover plate of the electric ceramic stove with the center point of the stove plate as the reference point; the method includes:

[0006] Receives a heating command from an electric ceramic cooker, the heating command including a power setting;

[0007] The heating plate is controlled to heat at minimum power, and the heating power of the heating plate is positively correlated with the heating area of ​​the heating plate;

[0008] The process involves acquiring a first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and a second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver; determining whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to a first threshold; if both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold, controlling the heating plate to heat at a higher power level to increase the heating area of ​​the heating plate, and determining whether the current power has reached the set power; if the current power has not reached the set power, repeating this step until the set power is reached, or until the first intensity and / or the second intensity are greater than the first threshold.

[0009] In the heating control method, when the electric ceramic stove starts working, it heats at the minimum power to minimize the heating area. Then, based on the intensity of the detected infrared signal, the infrared signal spillage is determined to determine whether to continue increasing the heating area, thereby matching the heating area with the cookware and reducing the waste of heat and electricity.

[0010] In one implementation, determining whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to a first threshold includes:

[0011] Determine whether the difference between the first intensity and the second intensity is greater than or equal to a second threshold; if the difference is less than the second threshold, then determine whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0012] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0014] The heating control method, when the electric ceramic stove is working, determines whether the cookware is misaligned by detecting the intensity of infrared signals on both sides. Only if the cookware is not misaligned will it determine whether to increase the heating area. If the cookware is misaligned, the user will be notified, thus avoiding the waste of heat and electricity due to cookware misalignment.

[0024] If the third intensity is less than or equal to the third threshold, the first infrared emitting device is turned off, and the furnace plate is controlled to heat at minimum power.

[0025] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0026] If the third intensity is greater than the third threshold, a second prompt message is output, which is used to prompt the user that no cookware has been detected.

[0027] The heating control method uses an infrared heating device to generate infrared light before the electric ceramic stove starts heating, and uses the intensity of the infrared signal detected by the infrared receiving device to determine whether a pot has been placed. If no pot is placed, a prompt message is output to avoid wasting heat and electricity by heating without a pot.

[0032] In one implementation, the second control module is used to:

[0033] Determine whether the difference between the first intensity and the second intensity is greater than or equal to a second threshold; if the difference is less than the second threshold, then determine whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] An electric ceramic cooktop is a cooking appliance that uses electric infrared radiation to heat cookware. The cooktop plate consists of nickel-chromium wire and an insulating plate. When the cooktop heats up, the cooktop plate generates far-infrared rays, which penetrate the cooktop's panel to heat the cookware. The heating area of ​​the cooktop plate is usually fixed; for example,... Figure 1 As shown, the area of ​​circular region 10 is the heating area of ​​the heating plate. When heating the cookware, as... Figure 2 As shown, when the area of ​​the cookware base is smaller than the heating area of ​​the stove plate, the far-infrared rays within the range of the cookware base will be absorbed by the cookware base, but the infrared rays outside the range of the cookware base will pass through the electric ceramic stove panel and dissipate into the air, resulting in a waste of heat and electricity.

[0066] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a heating control method based on an electric ceramic cooker with a variable heating area. In this method, when the electric ceramic cooker starts working, it is controlled to heat at the minimum power to minimize the heating area. Then, based on the detected infrared signal dispersion, it is determined whether to continue increasing the heating power, i.e., whether to increase the heating area, thereby matching the heating area with the cookware and reducing the waste of heat and electricity.

[0067] First, the electric ceramic stove in the embodiments of this application will be described. (Refer to...) Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the electric ceramic stove includes a cover plate 1, an outer shell assembly 2, a first infrared module 3, and a second infrared module 4. A cooking plate is disposed below the cover plate 1.

[0068] The first infrared module 3 and the second infrared module 4 are positioned symmetrically around the cover plate 1 of the ceramic cooker, with the center point of the heating area of ​​the cooktop as the reference point. For example, as shown... Figure 3 The circular area on the middle cover plate 1 is the heating area of ​​the furnace plate, and the center point of the heating area of ​​the furnace plate is as follows: Figure 3 Point B is shown in the diagram.

[0069] The first infrared module 3 includes a first infrared receiving module, and the second infrared module 4 includes a second infrared receiving module. Optionally, the first infrared module 3 may also include a first infrared emitting module. Optionally, the second infrared module 4 may also include a second infrared emitting module. The infrared emitting modules in the first infrared module 3 and the second infrared module 4 can be used to emit infrared light, and the infrared receiving modules can be used to receive infrared light.

[0070] The heating power and heating area of ​​the heating plate are positively correlated; that is, the higher the heating power, the larger the heating area. Optionally, the heating structure of the heating plate can be designed as a concentric circle structure, expanding the heating radius of the heating plate with each increase in power. For example, such as... Figure 4 The grid-like area shown represents the minimum heating area of ​​the cooktop, such as... Figure 5 The grid-like area shown represents the maximum heating area of ​​the heating element.

[0071] Optionally, multiple sets of infrared modules can be installed around the cover plate 1 of the ceramic cooker, namely, multiple sets of first infrared modules 3 and second infrared modules 4 arranged symmetrically with the center point of the heating area of ​​the cooktop as the reference point. When multiple sets of infrared modules are working, they can be controlled in a time-sharing manner, with one set of first infrared modules 3 and second infrared modules 4 working at preset time intervals, in a sequential cycle. For example, if there are 4 sets of infrared module components numbered #1, #2, #3, and #4, #1 is turned on every 0.25 seconds, and #2, #3, and #4 are turned off. After #1 works for 0.25 seconds, #2 is turned on, and #1, #3, and #4 are turned off. After #2 works for 0.25 seconds, #3 is turned on again, and #1, #2, and #4 are turned off. After #3 works for 0.25 seconds, #4 is turned on again, and #1, #2, and #3 are turned off. This avoids multiple sets of infrared modules working simultaneously, which could cause confusion in the infrared signals received by each module.

[0072] The heating control method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the electric ceramic stove described above, through specific embodiments. It is understood that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0073] Figure 6 A flowchart illustrating a heating control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0074] S601, Receive heating command from electric ceramic stove.

[0075] The heating command includes setting the power.

[0076] Heating commands for the ceramic cooktop can be input by the user through the cooktop's control panel, or sent by a terminal or other device. The set power can be the power setting corresponding to the power option selected by the user, or it can be the power setting corresponding to the heating function selected by the user; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] S602, Control the heating plate to heat at minimum power.

[0078] Among them, the heating power of the furnace plate is positively correlated with the heating area of ​​the furnace plate.

[0079] To avoid excessive heating area, the heating plate is controlled to heat at minimum power when heating starts, that is, the heating plate is controlled to heat with the minimum heating area. For example, as shown in the example... Figure 4 The minimum heating area of ​​the furnace plate shown is used for heating.

[0080] S603. Obtain the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver.

[0081] S604. Determine whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold; if yes, execute S605; if no, repeat S603.

[0082] When the ceramic cooktop is heating, both the first and second infrared receivers operate to detect the presence of spilled infrared light signals. The first threshold is a preset threshold for the infrared signal intensity when the heating area is blocked by the cookware base. Specifically, when the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver are both less than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the infrared light generated by the heating element is largely blocked by the cookware base and cannot be transmitted through the lid; that is, the cookware base is larger than or equal to the heating area at this time. For example,... Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the grid area represents the base of the pot, and the shaded area represents the heating area. At this point, you can continue with the subsequent steps to increase the heating power.

[0083] When either the first intensity or the second intensity exceeds the first threshold, it indicates that the infrared light generated by the heating element is not completely blocked by the cookware base, and infrared light is already being transmitted through the lid. In other words, the cookware base is smaller than the heating area at this point. For example,... Figure 8 As shown, the grid area represents the pot base, and the shaded area represents the heating area. Therefore, the heating area cannot be increased further at this point; the current heating area must be maintained, i.e., the current heating power must be maintained, and this step must be repeated.

[0084] S605. Control the heating plate to heat at a higher power level to increase the heating area of ​​the heating plate.

[0085] When both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold, that is, when the pot base is greater than or equal to the current heating area, the heating plate is controlled to heat at a higher power level, thereby increasing the heating area of ​​the heating plate.

[0086] S606. Determine whether the current power has reached the set power; if not, repeat S603; if yes, continue heating according to the set power.

[0087] After increasing the power level, it is determined whether the current power has reached the set power. If not, S603-S604 are executed again to determine whether the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver are both less than or equal to the first threshold after increasing the power level. That is, it is determined whether the infrared light generated by the heating plate after the heating area increases is still completely blocked by the bottom of the pot. If both are less than the first threshold, S605 is executed again to control the heating plate to heat at a higher power level. This process is repeated. By gradually judging in this way, the heating area of ​​the heating plate gradually increases from small to large until the set power is reached and heating is carried out at the set power, or until either the first intensity or the second intensity is detected to be greater than the first threshold in S604, that is, heating is maintained at the heating power at the time of detection.

[0088] The heating control method provided in this application embodiment heats the electric ceramic stove at the minimum power when it starts working, so as to minimize the heating area. Then, the intensity of the detected infrared signal is used to determine the infrared signal diffusion, so as to determine whether to continue to increase the heating area, thereby matching the heating area with the cookware and reducing the waste of heat and electricity.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, before determining whether the first strength and the second strength are both less than or equal to the first threshold, it is also possible to first determine whether the cookware is biased based on the first strength and the second strength. Figure 9 A flowchart illustrating a heating control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figure 9As shown, the method includes:

[0090] S901, Receives heating command from electric ceramic stove.

[0091] S902, Control the heating plate to heat at minimum power.

[0092] S901-S902 are similar to S601-S602 in the previous embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0093] S903. Obtain the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver.

[0094] S904. Determine whether the difference between the first intensity and the second intensity is greater than or equal to the second threshold; if yes, proceed to S906; if no, proceed to S905.

[0095] S905. Determine whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold; if yes, execute S907; if no, repeat S903.

[0096] S906, Output the first prompt message.

[0097] The first prompt message is used to remind the user that the cookware is misaligned.

[0098] S907, control the heating plate to heat at a higher power level to increase the heating area of ​​the heating plate.

[0099] S908. Determine whether the current power has reached the set power; if yes, continue heating according to the set power; if no, repeat S903.

[0100] After acquiring the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver, the difference between the first and second intensities is used to determine whether the cookware is biased. It is understood that if the cookware is biased, the heating area covered by the cookware base is asymmetrical relative to the center point of the heating area of ​​the stove plate. In this case, more infrared light may emanate from one side of the cookware base, and less from the other side, resulting in a larger difference between the first and second intensities. The second threshold value is a preset threshold deviation of the cookware bias infrared signal intensity. When the difference between the first and second intensities is greater than or equal to the second threshold, a first prompt message is output to alert the user that the cookware is biased. Only when the difference between the first and second intensities is less than the second threshold is step S905 executed to determine whether both the first and second intensities are less than or equal to the first threshold, and then subsequent steps S907-S908 are executed. S905 and S907-S908 are similar to the aforementioned embodiments and will not be described again here.

[0101] The heating control method provided in this application determines whether the cookware is misaligned by detecting the infrared signal intensity on both sides when the electric ceramic stove is working. Only if the cookware is not misaligned does it determine whether to increase the heating area. If the cookware is misaligned, the user is notified, thus avoiding the waste of heat and electricity due to cookware misalignment.

[0102] Based on the above embodiments, the heating control method provided in this application can further perform cookware detection before heating begins. Figure 10 A flowchart illustrating a heating control method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 3 .like Figure 10 As shown, the method includes:

[0103] S1001, Receive heating command from electric ceramic stove.

[0104] S1001 is similar to S601 in the previous embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0105] S1002, Control the first infrared emitting device to emit infrared light.

[0106] S1003. Determine whether the third intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver is less than or equal to the third threshold; if yes, execute S1004; if no, output the second prompt message and repeat S1003.

[0107] The second prompt message is used to inform the user that no cookware has been detected.

[0108] S1004. Turn off the first infrared emitting device and control the furnace plate to heat at minimum power.

[0109] After receiving a heating command, the ceramic cooktop first emits infrared light using a first infrared emitter. Based on the third intensity of the infrared signal received by a second infrared receiver positioned opposite the first emitter, it can determine whether there is any obstruction between the two devices, i.e., whether a pot is placed on the lid. Understandably, if a pot is placed, it will block the infrared light emitted by the first emitter, resulting in a lower third intensity of the infrared signal received by the second receiver. If the pot is not placed, there is no obstruction, leading to a higher third intensity of the infrared signal received by the second receiver. The third threshold is a preset threshold for the infrared signal intensity when a pot is present. When the third intensity is less than or equal to the third threshold, the first infrared emitter is turned off, and heating begins at minimum power. When the third intensity is greater than the third threshold, a second prompt message is output to inform the user that no pot has been detected, while the first infrared emitter remains on to continuously monitor whether a pot has been placed.

[0110] S1005. Obtain the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver.

[0111] S1006. Determine whether the difference between the first intensity and the second intensity is greater than or equal to the second threshold; if yes, proceed to S1008; if no, proceed to S1007.

[0112] S1007. Determine whether both the first intensity and the second intensity are less than or equal to the first threshold; if yes, execute S1009; if no, repeat S1005.

[0113] S1008, Output the first prompt message.

[0114] The first prompt message is used to remind the user that the cookware is misaligned.

[0115] S1009. Control the heating plate to heat at a higher power level to increase the heating area of ​​the heating plate.

[0116] S1010: Determine whether the current power has reached the set power; if yes, continue heating according to the set power; if no, repeat S1005.

[0117] S1005-S1010 are similar to S903-S908 in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0118] The heating control method provided in this application embodiment heats infrared light through an infrared heating device before the electric ceramic stove starts heating, and uses the intensity of the infrared signal detected by the infrared receiving device to determine whether a pot has been placed. If no pot is placed, a prompt message is output to avoid wasting heat and electricity due to heating without a pot.

[0119] As previously described, multiple sets of first infrared receiving devices and second infrared receiving devices are arranged around the lid of the electric ceramic stove. Based on this, in the heating control method provided in this application embodiment, when using the infrared receiving devices to obtain the intensity of the infrared signal, each set of first infrared receiving devices and second infrared receiving devices can be controlled sequentially to receive the infrared signal, and the first intensity of the infrared signal received by each set of first infrared receiving devices and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by each set of first infrared receiving devices can be obtained. Thus, when the difference between at least one set of first intensity and second intensity is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the offset position of the cookware is determined based on at least one set of first intensity and second intensity.

[0120] Multiple sets of first and second infrared receivers around the lid of the ceramic cooktop can be positioned in different directions. For example, two sets of first and second infrared receivers can be positioned on the four sides of the lid. When the difference between at least one set of first and second intensities is greater than or equal to a second threshold, it indicates that the cookware is biased in at least one direction. For example, if the first intensity is greater, it indicates that the cookware is biased towards the side of the second infrared receiver. The bias position of the cookware can be determined based on at least one set of first and second intensities, thereby providing more accurate prompts to the user to make adjustments, so that the heating area is more matched with the cookware, reducing the waste of heat and electricity.

[0121] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of a heating control device provided in an embodiment of this application. The heating control device is applied to an electric ceramic stove, and a first infrared receiving device and a second infrared receiving device are symmetrically arranged around the cover plate of the electric ceramic stove with the center point of the stove plate as the reference point. Figure 11 As shown, the heating control device 110 includes:

[0122] Receiver module 111 is used to receive heating commands from the electric ceramic stove, the heating commands including the set power;

[0123] The first control module 112 is used to control the furnace plate to heat at the minimum power, and the heating power of the furnace plate is positively correlated with the heating area of ​​the furnace plate.

[0124] The second control module 113 is used to acquire the first intensity of the infrared signal received by the first infrared receiver and the second intensity of the infrared signal received by the second infrared receiver; determine whether the first intensity and the second intensity are both less than or equal to a first threshold; if the first intensity and the second intensity are both less than or equal to the first threshold, control the furnace plate to heat at a higher power level to increase the heating area of ​​the furnace plate, and determine whether the current power has reached the set power; if the current power has not reached the set power, repeat this step until the set power is reached, or until the first intensity and / or the second intensity are greater than the first threshold.

[0125] In one implementation, the second control module 113 is used to:
