[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of this application, a cooking control method for cooking rice is provided.

[0005] Optionally, the operating parameters include heating time, heating temperature, and heating power. Based on the relationship between the second time and the preset time range, the operating parameters of the cooking appliance during the rice-cooking stage are determined, including: when the second time is less than the maximum value of the preset time range but greater than the minimum value of the preset time range, the heating temperature is determined to be a first temperature, the heating time to be a third time, and the heating power to be a first power; when the second time is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset time range, the heating temperature is determined to be a second temperature, the heating time to be a fourth time, and the heating power to be a second power; when the second time is less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset time range, the heating temperature is determined to be a third temperature, the heating time to be a fifth time, and the heating power to be a third power, wherein the third temperature, the first temperature, and the second temperature increase sequentially; the fifth time, the third time, and the fourth time increase sequentially; and the third power, the first power, and the third power increase sequentially.

[0006] Optionally, controlling the cooking appliance to operate with the operating parameters includes: controlling the cooking appliance to operate with the heating power, such that after the temperature of the temperature sensing bulb at the bottom of the cooking cavity is maintained at the heating temperature for the heating duration, controlling the cooking appliance to turn off.

[0007] Optionally, determining a preset duration range based on the first duration includes: obtaining a preset threshold; determining, based on the first duration and the preset threshold, that the maximum value of the preset duration range is the sum of the first duration and the preset threshold, and the minimum value of the preset duration range is the difference between the first duration and the preset threshold.

[0008] Optionally, obtaining the first duration includes: starting a timer when the cooking appliance enters the heating stage and acquiring the temperature of the temperature sensor at the top of the cooking cavity in real time; stopping the timer and determining the timer duration as the predetermined heating duration when the temperature of the temperature sensor at the top rises to a fourth temperature; and adding the difference between the predetermined heating duration and the predetermined duration to obtain the first duration.

[0009] Optionally, obtaining the second duration includes: starting a timer when the cooking appliance moves from the heating stage to the boiling stage, and acquiring the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom of the cooking cavity in real time, wherein the temperature of the bottom temperature sensor corresponding to the cooking appliance moving from the heating stage to the boiling stage is a fifth temperature, and the fifth temperature is greater than the fourth temperature; stopping the timer and determining the timer duration as the second duration when the temperature of the bottom temperature sensor rises to a sixth temperature.

[0010] According to another aspect of this application, a cooking control device for cooking rice is provided. When the cooking appliance is in the rice cooking mode, the cooking appliance sequentially passes through a heating stage, a boiling stage, and a simmering stage. The device includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit is used to acquire a first duration and a second duration in the rice cooking mode. The first duration is determined based on a predetermined heating duration and a predetermined duration difference. The predetermined heating duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance in the heating stage. The predetermined duration difference is the difference between the duration of the boiling stage and the duration of the heating stage. The second duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity in the boiling stage. The determination unit is used to determine a preset duration range based on the first duration and, based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset duration range, determine the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the simmering stage. The control unit is used to control the cooking appliance to operate according to the operating parameters when the cooking appliance is in the simmering stage.

[0011] According to another aspect of this application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium including a stored program, wherein, when the program is executed, it controls the device on which the computer-readable storage medium is located to perform any of the methods described.

[0012] According to another aspect of this application, a processor is provided for running a program, wherein the program, when running, performs any of the methods described.

[0013] According to another aspect of this application, a cooking system is provided, including a cooking appliance and a control device for the cooking appliance, the control device including: one or more processors, a controller, a memory, and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including methods for performing any one of the methods described.

[0014] Applying the technical solution of this application, the cooking control method for cooking rice in this application firstly, in the rice cooking mode, a first duration determined based on a predetermined heating time and a predetermined time difference, and a second duration determined based on the heating time of the cooking chamber in the boiling stage are obtained; then, a preset duration range is determined based on the first duration, and the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the rice simmering stage are determined based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset duration range; finally, when the cooking appliance is in the rice simmering stage, the cooking appliance is controlled to operate according to the operating parameters. Compared to existing technologies that struggle to precisely control the rice-to-water ratio, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and negatively impacting the user's cooking experience, this application addresses the problem of determining a predetermined time difference by considering the duration of the boiling phase and the heating phase. A predetermined heating time is then determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the heating phase. A first time is determined based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference, and a preset time range is established using this first time. A second time is then compared to this preset time range to obtain a relationship between the two. This relationship reflects the actual rice-to-water ratio in the cooking appliance. Based on this relationship, the operating parameters for the rice-cooking phase are determined, and the cooking appliance is controlled according to these parameters. This reduces the differences in rice texture caused by varying rice-to-water ratios during the rice-cooking phase, improving the rice's texture and ensuring a better cooking experience for the user.

Furthermore, in the specification and claims, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, the element may be "directly connected" to the other element, or "connected" to the other element via a third element.

[0023] As described in the background section, the existing technology suffers from the problem of difficulty in precisely controlling the amount of rice and water, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and affecting the user's cooking experience. To solve the above problems, embodiments of this application provide a cooking control method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, processor, and cooking system for cooking rice.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking control method for cooking rice is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0027] Figure 1This is a flowchart of a rice cooking control method according to an embodiment of this application. When the cooking appliance is in rice cooking mode, the cooking appliance sequentially goes through a heating stage, a boiling stage, and a simmering stage, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S101: In the above-mentioned cooking mode, a first duration and a second duration are obtained. The first duration is determined based on a predetermined heating duration and a predetermined duration difference. The predetermined heating duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance during the heating phase. The predetermined duration difference is the difference between the duration of the boiling phase and the duration of the heating phase. The second duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the boiling phase.

[0029] To better describe the relationship between the multiple durations mentioned above in this application, the predetermined heating duration determined by this application based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance in the heating stage is set as t1, the first duration is set as t2, the second duration is set as t3, and the predetermined duration difference is set as n1.

[0030] Specifically, the preset duration range is determined based on the aforementioned first duration, including:

[0031] Step S1011: Obtain the preset threshold;

[0032] Step S1012: Based on the first duration and the preset threshold, determine that the maximum value of the preset duration range is the sum of the first duration and the preset threshold, and the minimum value of the preset duration range is the difference between the first duration and the preset threshold.

[0033] In this application, the preset threshold is set to n2. Since the maximum value of the preset duration range is the sum of the first duration and the preset threshold, and the minimum value of the preset duration range is the difference between the first duration and the preset threshold, the preset threshold can be set to (t2-n2, t2+n2).

[0034] It should be noted that the acquisition of the first duration mentioned above in this application includes: starting timing when the cooking appliance enters the heating stage and acquiring the temperature of the temperature sensor at the top of the cooking cavity in real time; stopping timing when the temperature of the temperature sensor at the top rises to a fourth temperature and determining the timing duration as the predetermined heating duration; and adding the predetermined heating duration to the difference between the predetermined heating duration and the predetermined duration to obtain the first duration. By acquiring the time taken for the temperature of the temperature sensor at the beginning of the heating stage to rise to the temperature at the end of the heating stage, the actual heating duration is determined. Based on the actual heating duration, the first duration can be determined more accurately, further ensuring that a clear preset duration range can be determined based on the accurate first duration, ensuring an accurate rice-to-water ratio range, and ensuring that the cooked rice has a better texture.

[0035] In a more specific embodiment, this application uses an average power greater than 80% of the rated power for heating, causing the temperature of the top temperature sensor to rise to a fourth temperature. During the heating phase, the aforementioned average power greater than 80% of the rated power can be used for continuous heating using a duty cycle or full power. Furthermore, this application sets the fourth temperature to between 80°C and 95°C. During the heating phase, the time for the top temperature sensor to rise from the initial temperature to the fourth temperature is 5 to 30 minutes. Of course, the aforementioned fourth temperature, the time for the top temperature sensor to rise to the fourth temperature, and the heating power during the heating phase are not limited to the aforementioned 80°C to 95°C, 5 to 30 minutes, and average power greater than 80% of the rated power. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set these parameters according to actual conditions.

[0036] To obtain the actual boiling time and further ensure that the cooked rice has a better texture, in a more specific embodiment, obtaining the second duration includes: starting a timer when the cooking appliance transitions from the heating stage to the boiling stage, and acquiring the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom of the cooking cavity in real time. The temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom when the cooking appliance transitions from the heating stage to the boiling stage is a fifth temperature, which is greater than the fourth temperature. When the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom rises to a sixth temperature, the timer is stopped, and the timed duration is determined to be the second duration. Specifically, the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom of the cooking appliance is recorded at the beginning of the boiling stage, and the timer is stopped when the temperature sensor at the bottom rises to the fifth temperature, thus obtaining the actual boiling time.

[0037] In one optional embodiment, the boiling stage of this application uses 30% to 80% of the rated power for heating, and the temperature range of the fifth temperature is set to 105°C to 120°C. Generally, during the boiling stage, the temperature range of the bottom temperature sensor of the cooking appliance is set to 95°C to 105°C. Of course, the average power, the fifth temperature, and the temperature of the bottom temperature sensor during the boiling stage are not limited to 30% to 80% of the rated power, 105°C to 120°C, and 95°C to 105°C as described above. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set these parameters according to actual conditions.

[0038] Step S102: Determine the preset time range based on the first time range, and determine the operating parameters of the cooking appliance during the rice-cooking stage based on the relationship between the second time range and the preset time range.

[0039] In a more specific embodiment, the operating parameters include heating time, heating temperature, and heating power. Based on the relationship between the second time and the preset time range, the operating parameters of the cooking appliance during the rice-cooking stage are determined, including:

[0040] Step S1021: If the second duration is less than the maximum value of the preset duration range and greater than the minimum value of the preset duration range, the heating temperature is determined to be the first temperature, the heating duration is determined to be the third duration, and the heating power is determined to be the first power.

[0041] Step S1022: If the second duration is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset duration range, the heating temperature is determined to be the second temperature, the heating duration is determined to be the fourth duration, and the heating power is determined to be the second power.

[0042] Step S1023: If the second duration is less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset duration range, the heating temperature is determined to be the third temperature, the heating duration to be the fifth duration, and the heating power to be the third power. The third temperature, the first temperature, and the second temperature increase sequentially, the fifth duration, the third duration, and the fourth duration increase sequentially, and the third power, the first power, and the second power increase sequentially.

[0043] In the above-described determination of the operating parameters of the cooking appliance during the rice-cooking stage, if the second duration is less than the maximum value of the preset duration range but greater than the minimum value, it indicates that the rice-to-water ratio in the cooking appliance is appropriate. In this case, the cooking appliance heats at the first power to raise the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom of the cooking cavity to the first temperature and maintain the first temperature, thus controlling the rice-cooking time within the third duration. If the second duration is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset duration range, it indicates that the actual boiling stage duration is longer than the preset boiling time of the cooking appliance. In this case, there is more water in the cooking cavity and less rice added. In this case, the second power is used to heat the cooking cavity... The temperature of the bottom-sensing bulb rises to the second temperature and is maintained at the second temperature, controlling the cooking time to the fourth duration. This increases the cooking time and temperature, thereby increasing the evaporation of moisture in the cooking cavity. If the second duration is less than or equal to the minimum of the preset time range, it indicates that the actual boiling time is shorter than the preset boiling time of the cooking appliance. In this case, there is less water in the cooking cavity and more rice is added. In this situation, heating is performed at the third power, raising the temperature of the bottom-sensing bulb in the cooking cavity to the third temperature and maintaining the third temperature, controlling the cooking time to the fifth duration. This reduces the cooking time and temperature, thereby reducing moisture evaporation in the cooking cavity and ensuring that the cooked rice has a better texture.

[0044] More specifically, in this application, the first power, the second power, and the third power are set to be less than 50% of the rated power. The temperature ranges of the first temperature, the second temperature, and the third temperature are set to be 85℃~100℃, 98℃~103℃, and 80℃~95℃, respectively. The third duration, the fourth duration, and the fifth duration are set to 5~15 minutes, 8~20 minutes, and 1~10 minutes, respectively. Of course, the duration, temperature, and power of this application are not limited to the data mentioned above, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set them according to the actual situation.

[0045] Step S103: When the cooking appliance is in the rice-cooking stage, control the cooking appliance to operate with the above operating parameters.

[0046] The process of controlling the cooking appliance to operate with the aforementioned operating parameters includes: controlling the cooking appliance to operate with the aforementioned heating power, maintaining the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom of the cooking cavity at the aforementioned heating temperature for the aforementioned heating duration, and then controlling the cooking appliance to turn off. Based on steps S1021, S1022, and S1021, it is determined whether the rice-to-water ratio in the cooking cavity is appropriate, thereby controlling the cooking appliance to operate with different operating parameters to ensure that the cooked rice has a better texture.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, this application records the actual heating time t1 of the cooking appliance during the heating stage. Then, it determines the first time t2 based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference. Then, it obtains the actual time of the boiling stage based on the time it takes for the bottom temperature sensor to rise to the fifth temperature. Finally, it determines the preset time range (t2-n2, t2+n2) based on the first time t2, and determines the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the rice-cooking stage based on the relationship between the second time t3 and the preset time range.

[0048] In the cooking control method for cooking rice in this application, firstly, in the rice cooking mode, a first duration determined based on a predetermined heating time and a predetermined time difference is obtained, and a second duration determined based on the heating time of the cooking chamber in the boiling stage is obtained; then, a preset duration range is determined based on the first duration, and the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the rice simmering stage are determined based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset duration range; finally, when the cooking appliance is in the rice simmering stage, the cooking appliance is controlled to operate according to the operating parameters. Compared to existing technologies that struggle to precisely control the rice-to-water ratio, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and negatively impacting the user's cooking experience, this application addresses the problem of determining a predetermined time difference by considering the duration of the boiling phase and the heating phase. A predetermined heating time is then determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the aforementioned heating phase. A first time is then determined based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference, and a preset time range is established using this first time. A second time is then compared to this preset time range to obtain a relationship between the two. This relationship reflects the actual rice-to-water ratio in the cooking appliance. Based on this relationship, the operating parameters for the rice-cooking phase are determined, and the cooking appliance is controlled according to these parameters. This reduces the differences in rice texture caused by varying rice-to-water ratios during the rice-cooking phase, improving the rice's texture and ensuring a better cooking experience for the user.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] and Figure 1 Corresponding to the method shown, this application also provides a cooking control device for cooking rice. It should be noted that the cooking control device for cooking rice in this application can be used to execute the cooking control method for cooking rice provided in this application. The cooking control device for cooking rice provided in this application is described below.

[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a cooking control device for cooking rice according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the specific explanation is as follows:

[0052] The rice cooking control device described in this application, when the cooking appliance is in rice cooking mode, sequentially passes through a heating stage, a boiling stage, and a simmering stage. The device includes an acquisition unit 10, a determination unit 20, and a control unit 30. The acquisition unit 10 is used to acquire a first duration and a second duration in the rice cooking mode. The first duration is determined based on a predetermined heating duration and a predetermined duration difference. The predetermined heating duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance during the heating stage. The predetermined time difference is the difference between the duration of the boiling phase and the duration of the heating phase. The second time is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the boiling phase. The determining unit 20 is used to determine a preset time range based on the first time and to determine the operating parameters of the cooking appliance during the rice-cooking phase based on the relationship between the second time and the preset time range. The control unit 30 is used to control the cooking appliance to operate with the operating parameters when the cooking appliance is in the rice-cooking phase.

[0053] The cooking control device for cooking rice disclosed in this application, when the cooking appliance is in the rice cooking mode, sequentially passes through a heating stage, a boiling stage, and a simmering stage. The device acquires, in the rice cooking mode, a first duration determined based on a predetermined heating duration and a predetermined duration difference, and a second duration determined based on the heating duration of the cooking chamber in the boiling stage, through an acquisition unit. The device determines a preset duration range based on the first duration and determines the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the simmering stage based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset duration range. The device controls the cooking appliance to operate according to the operating parameters when the cooking appliance is in the simmering stage, through a control unit. Compared to existing technologies that struggle to precisely control the rice-to-water ratio, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and negatively impacting the user's cooking experience, this application addresses the problem of determining a predetermined time difference by considering the duration of the boiling phase and the heating phase. A predetermined heating time is then determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the aforementioned heating phase. A first time is then determined based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference, and a preset time range is established using this first time. A second time is then compared to this preset time range to obtain a relationship between the two. This relationship reflects the actual rice-to-water ratio in the cooking appliance. Based on this relationship, the operating parameters for the rice-cooking phase are determined, and the cooking appliance is controlled according to these parameters. This reduces the differences in rice texture caused by varying rice-to-water ratios during the rice-cooking phase, improving the rice's texture and ensuring a better cooking experience for the user.

[0054] The aforementioned operating parameters include heating duration, heating temperature, and heating power. The aforementioned determining unit includes a first determining module, a second determining module, and a third determining module. The first determining module is used to determine the heating temperature as a first temperature, the heating duration as a third duration, and the heating power as a first power when the second duration is less than the maximum value of the preset duration range but greater than the minimum value of the preset duration range. The second determining module is used to determine the heating temperature as a second temperature, the heating duration as a fourth duration, and the heating power as a second power when the second duration is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset duration range. The third determining module is used to determine the heating temperature as a third temperature, the heating duration as a fifth duration, and the heating power as a third power when the second duration is less than or equal to the minimum value of the preset duration range. The third temperature, the first temperature, and the second temperature increase sequentially; the fifth duration, the third duration, and the fourth duration increase sequentially; and the third power, the first power, and the second power increase sequentially.

[0055] The control unit includes a control module, which controls the cooking appliance to operate at the heating power, so that the temperature of the temperature sensor at the bottom of the cooking cavity is maintained at the heating temperature for the heating duration, and then controls the cooking appliance to turn off.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the determining unit includes a first acquisition module and a fourth determining module, wherein the first acquisition module is used to acquire a preset threshold; the fourth determining module is used to determine, based on the first duration and the preset threshold, that the maximum value of the preset duration range is the sum of the first duration and the preset threshold, and the minimum value of the preset duration range is the difference between the first duration and the preset threshold.

[0057] Specifically, the aforementioned acquisition unit includes a second acquisition module, a fifth determination module, and a calculation module. The second acquisition module is used to start timing when the cooking appliance enters the heating stage and acquire the temperature of the temperature sensing bag at the top of the cooking cavity in real time. The fifth determination module is used to stop timing and determine the timing duration as the predetermined heating duration when the temperature of the temperature sensing bag at the top rises to a fourth temperature. The calculation module is used to add the predetermined heating duration to the difference between the predetermined heating duration and the predetermined duration to obtain the first duration.

[0058] The acquisition unit of this application includes a third acquisition module and a sixth determination module. The third acquisition module is used to start timing when the cooking appliance enters the boiling stage from the heating stage and acquire the temperature of the bottom temperature sensor in the cooking cavity in real time. The temperature of the bottom temperature sensor when the cooking appliance enters the boiling stage from the heating stage is the fifth temperature, which is greater than the fourth temperature. The sixth determination module is used to stop timing and determine the timing duration as the second duration when the temperature of the bottom temperature sensor rises to the sixth temperature.

[0060] According to an embodiment of this application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium including a stored program, wherein, when the program is executed, it controls the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located to perform the cooking control method for cooking rice.

[0061] Step S101: In the above-mentioned cooking mode, a first duration and a second duration are obtained. The first duration is determined based on a predetermined heating duration and a predetermined duration difference. The predetermined heating duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance during the heating phase. The predetermined duration difference is the duration difference between the boiling phase and the heating phase. The second duration is determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the boiling phase.

[0062] Step S102: Determine the preset time range based on the first time range, and determine the operating parameters of the cooking appliance during the rice-cooking stage based on the relationship between the second time range and the preset time range.

[0063] Step S103: When the cooking appliance is in the rice-cooking stage, control the cooking appliance to operate with the above operating parameters.

[0064] Example 4

[0065] This invention provides a cooking system, including a cooking appliance and a control device for the cooking appliance. The control device includes one or more processors, a controller, a memory, and one or more programs. The one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more programs include methods for performing any of the methods described above.

[0066] The cooking system of this application includes a cooking appliance and a control device for the cooking appliance. The control device includes one or more processors, a controller, a memory, and one or more programs. The one or more programs include a method for performing any of the above-mentioned methods. The method firstly, in a rice cooking mode, acquires a first duration determined based on a predetermined heating time and a predetermined time difference, and a second duration determined based on the heating time of the cooking chamber in the boiling stage. Then, it determines a preset time range based on the first duration, and determines the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the rice simmering stage based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset time range. Finally, when the cooking appliance is in the rice simmering stage, it controls the cooking appliance to operate according to the operating parameters. Compared to existing technologies that struggle to precisely control the rice-to-water ratio, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and negatively impacting the user's cooking experience, this application determines a predetermined time difference by considering the duration of the boiling phase and the heating phase. It then determines a predetermined heating time based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the aforementioned heating phase. A first time is determined based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference, and a preset time range is established using this first time.

[0080] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects:

[0081] 1) In the cooking control method for cooking rice in this application, firstly, in the rice cooking mode, a first duration determined based on a predetermined heating time and a predetermined time difference is obtained, and a second duration determined based on the heating time of the cooking chamber in the boiling stage is obtained; then, a preset duration range is determined based on the first duration, and the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the rice simmering stage are determined based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset duration range; finally, when the cooking appliance is in the rice simmering stage, the cooking appliance is controlled to operate according to the operating parameters. Compared to existing technologies that struggle to precisely control the rice-to-water ratio, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and negatively impacting the user's cooking experience, this application addresses the problem of determining a predetermined time difference by considering the duration of the boiling phase and the heating phase. A predetermined heating time is then determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the aforementioned heating phase. A first time is then determined based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference, and a preset time range is established using this first time. A second time is then compared to this preset time range to obtain a relationship between the two. This relationship reflects the actual rice-to-water ratio in the cooking appliance. Based on this relationship, the operating parameters for the rice-cooking phase are determined, and the cooking appliance is controlled according to these parameters. This reduces the differences in rice texture caused by varying rice-to-water ratios during the rice-cooking phase, improving the rice's texture and ensuring a better cooking experience for the user.

[0082] 2) The cooking control device for cooking rice according to this application, when the cooking appliance is in the cooking mode, the cooking appliance sequentially goes through a heating stage, a boiling stage and a simmering stage. The device, through an acquisition unit, acquires a first duration determined based on a predetermined heating duration and a predetermined duration difference, and a second duration determined based on the heating duration of the cooking chamber in the boiling stage, in the cooking mode. Through a determination unit, a preset duration range is determined based on the first duration, and the operating parameters of the cooking appliance in the simmering stage are determined based on the relationship between the second duration and the preset duration range. Through a control unit, the cooking appliance is controlled to operate according to the operating parameters when it is in the simmering stage. Compared to existing technologies that struggle to precisely control the rice-to-water ratio, resulting in inconsistent rice texture and negatively impacting the user's cooking experience, this application addresses the problem of determining a predetermined time difference by considering the duration of the boiling phase and the heating phase. A predetermined heating time is then determined based on the heating duration of the cooking cavity during the aforementioned heating phase. A first time is then determined based on the predetermined heating time and the predetermined time difference, and a preset time range is established using this first time. A second time is then compared to this preset time range to obtain a relationship between the two. This relationship reflects the actual rice-to-water ratio in the cooking appliance. Based on this relationship, the operating parameters for the rice-cooking phase are determined, and the cooking appliance is controlled according to these parameters. This reduces the differences in rice texture caused by varying rice-to-water ratios during the rice-cooking phase, improving the rice's texture and ensuring a better cooking experience for the user.
