Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of control, in particular to a control method and device of a cooking device, a cooking device and a readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] The execution logic of the pre-order function of the existing wall breaking machine is as follows: receiving the setting function and time, ending the cooking when the timing reaches the set time.

[0003] For example, the user sets 10 hours to make soy milk, and then starts whipping after 9 hours and a half, and finally completes the cooking when the timing reaches 10 hours.

[0004] The skilled in the art finds that the execution logic of the pre-order function has the following disadvantages: the wall breaking machine starts whipping before the timing reaches the set 10 hours, and the noise generated by the whipping affects the user's rest. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to at least solve one of the problems in the prior art or related art.

[0006] To this end, the first aspect of the present application provides a control method of a cooking device.

[0007] The second aspect of the present application provides a control device of a cooking device.

[0008] The third aspect of the present application provides a cooking device.

[0009] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a readable storage medium.

[0010] Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present application, a control method of a cooking device is provided, the cooking device comprising a heating device and a whipping device, the control method comprising: receiving a first input of starting a pre-set pre-order mode, controlling the heating device to operate to heat the cooked food material; receiving a second input of starting the whipping device, and controlling the whipping device to start to make the whipping device whip the heated cooked food material.

[0011] The technical solution of the present application provides a control method of a cooking device, which can effectively reduce the above-mentioned situation and reduce the noise generated by the whipping device in the cooking device, thereby increasing the applicable use scenarios of the cooking device.

[0012] Specifically, the cooking device comprises a heating device for heating the food to be cooked and a whipping device for whipping the food to be cooked. When the first input is received, the preset reservation mode is started. When the cooking device is in the preset reservation mode, the heating device is started to heat the food to be cooked so that the food to be cooked is cooked. The whipping device is not controlled by the program but is controlled by the user. When the second input of the user is received by the cooking device, the whipping device is started to whip the heated food to be cooked. In the above control process, the stage of generating noise during the operation of the cooking device such as a blender is the operation of the whipping device. In the control process, the operation of the whipping device is controlled by the user. The user can control the timing of starting the whipping device according to the actual use demand, so that the influence of the noise generated by the operation of the whipping device on the user can be reduced.

[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, the first input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input entered by a terminal interacting with the cooking device, for example, triggering of a button marked "preset reservation mode" on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0014] In any of the above embodiments, the second input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input entered by a terminal interacting with the cooking device. For example, the second input can be triggering of a button marked "start" or the like on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0015] In addition, it is worth noting that "whipping the food to be cooked" in the present application includes two parts, namely "stirring" and "beating". The "stirring" is the stirring process of the food to be cooked, and the "beating" is the destructive process of the food to be cooked, such as breaking the skin, shell and pulp of the food to be cooked.

[0016] In addition, the control method of the cooking device in the above technical solution provided by the present application can further have the following additional technical features:

[0017] In the above technical solution, after receiving the first input of starting the preset reservation mode and controlling the heating device to operate to heat the food to be cooked, the method further comprises: determining the operation duration of the heating device; and determining that the operation duration is greater than or equal to a first preset duration, and controlling the heating device to stop operating.

[0018] In the technical solution, considering that the role of the heating device in the above stage is to heat the cooked food material so as to cook the cooked food material, in the technical solution of the application, a first preset time length is introduced to determine the running time length of the heating device in this stage. Specifically, when the running time length of the heating device is less than the first preset time length, the heating device is controlled to continue running, and when the running time length of the heating device is greater than or equal to the first preset time length, the heating device is controlled to stop running.

[0019] In this process, it can be ensured that the cooked food material can be cooked while avoiding energy waste caused by long running time of the heating device.

[0020] It is worth pointing out that, under the condition that the heating power of the heating device is constant, the setting of the first preset time length is positively correlated with the weight of the cooked food material, that is, as the weight of the cooked food material increases, the first preset time length increases accordingly, and in the technical solution of the application, the value range of the first preset time length is not limited.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, after the step of receiving a first input of starting a preset reservation mode and controlling the heating device to run to heat the cooked food material, the method further comprises: obtaining the activity of urease in the cooked food material; and based on the inactivation of urease in the cooked food material, controlling the heating device to stop running.

[0022] In the technical solution, considering that the cooking equipment such as a blender can make soybean drinks such as soy milk, and for such soybean drinks, the way to determine whether they are cooked can be determined by judging the activity of urease in the cooked food material, so in the technical solution of the application, whether the cooked food material is cooked can be determined by judging the activity of urease in the cooked food material. In this process, on the basis of determining that the cooked food material is cooked, the situation of over-heating the cooked food material by the heating device to cause the cooked food material to be burnt can be reduced.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the activity of urease in the cooked food material is not limited here.

[0024] In any of the above technical solutions, after the step of receiving a first input of starting a preset reservation mode and controlling the heating device to run to heat the cooked food material, the method further comprises: obtaining the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment; and based on the cooking temperature being greater than or equal to the target temperature, controlling the heating device to stop running.

[0025] In the technical solution, another way for determining whether the heating device needs to stop heating is specifically defined, and the cooking equipment can control the heating device when other control logics for controlling the heating device to stop running are abnormal, such as failing to obtain the heating duration or failing to obtain the activity of urease in the cooked food, thereby ensuring the reliability of the cooking equipment.

[0026] In any of the above technical solutions, after the step of controlling the heating device to stop running, the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment is obtained, and the heating device is controlled to start again until the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment is maintained within the preset temperature range based on the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment being less than or equal to the preset temperature range.

[0027] In the technical solution, after the heating device stops running, the temperature of the cooked food gradually decreases because the cooking equipment is not supplied with heat, that is, the cooked food gradually cools down. Considering that the temperature value of the cooked food is not suitable to be too low, if the temperature is too low, the user's taste will be affected when eating the cooked food.

[0028] To reduce the above situation, the technical solution of the present application detects the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment when the heating device stops running, and controls the heating device to start again to heat the cooked food when the detected temperature value is less than or equal to the preset temperature range, so as to ensure that the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment can be maintained within the preset temperature range to meet the temperature requirement of the user when eating and ensure the taste.

[0029] In any of the above technical solutions, the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment can be obtained by a temperature sensor arranged on a pot body for containing the cooked food.

[0030] In any of the above technical solutions, the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment can also be obtained by arranging a temperature probe, such as inserting the temperature probe into the cooked food to obtain the cooking temperature of the cooking equipment.

[0031] In any of the above technical solutions, the heating power of the heating device during the process of starting again is less than or equal to the rated power.

[0032] In one of the technical solutions, the heating power before the heating device stops running is a first power, and the heating power when the heating device starts again is a second power, and at this time, the second power is less than the first power. By limiting the relationship between the first power and the second power, the power is low when the heating device starts again to perform the heat preservation process on the cooked food, and therefore, the probability of the cooked food being scorched in the heat preservation stage is reduced.

[0033] In any of the above technical solutions, any temperature value in the preset temperature range is greater than or equal to 55 DEG C and less than or equal to 65 DEG C.

[0034] In this technical solution, the value range of the preset temperature range is specifically limited, by limiting any temperature value to be not lower than 55 DEG C, to avoid the temperature of the cooked food material being too low to affect the user's eating taste, and in addition, to ensure that the food material after whipping can be directly eaten without temperature drop after the user starts the whipping device, and by limiting any temperature value to be not higher than 65 DEG C, to reduce the occurrence of the user being scalded.

[0035] In any of the above technical solutions, the first input includes a second preset time length, and the control method of the cooking device further includes: determining a third preset time length according to the second preset time length, wherein the third preset time length is less than or equal to the second preset time length; receiving the first input for starting the preset reservation mode, and controlling the heating device to operate to heat the cooked food material, specifically including: starting timing based on receiving the first input for starting the preset reservation mode; determining that the timing duration is greater than or equal to the third preset time length, and controlling the heating device to start.

[0036] In this technical solution, the preset reservation mode, as the name implies, is a function that is reserved without the user manually starting, and the first input entered by the application when the preset reservation mode is started includes a second preset time length, wherein the second reservation time length represents the time length that the user wants to reserve, and wherein in the preset reservation mode, the heating device is not always in a heating state, but starts heating when the timing reaches the third reservation time length. In this process, the timing of starting the heating device is limited, and under the premise of ensuring that the cooked food material is cooked, energy waste caused by the heating device being always started is avoided.

[0037] In any of the above technical solutions, it further includes: starting timing based on receiving the first input for starting the preset reservation mode; determining that the timing duration is greater than or equal to a fourth preset time length, controlling the heating device to stop operating, and outputting warning information; wherein the fourth preset time length is greater than the second preset time length.

[0038] In this technical solution, the control logic of the cooking device in the case that the cooking device is started for too long is specifically limited, and specifically, when the timing duration exceeds the fourth preset time length, the heating device is controlled to stop operating, to avoid control failure during the operation of the cooking device, so that the heating device does not stop heating according to the first preset time length, causing the cooked food material to be burnt, and in this process, the reliability of the operation of the cooking device is ensured.

[0039] In addition, by outputting the warning information, the user is aware of the current state of the cooked food, and the probability of the user eating the food cooked for too long and feeling uncomfortable is reduced.

[0040] According to a second aspect of the present application, the present application provides a control device of a cooking device, the cooking device comprising a heating device and a whipping device, the control device of the cooking device comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a first input for starting a preset reservation mode; a control unit configured to control the heating device to operate to heat a cooked food; the receiving unit is further configured to receive a second input for starting the whipping device; and the control unit is further configured to control the whipping device to start to whip the cooked food heated.

[0041] The technical solution of the present application provides a control device of a cooking device, which can effectively reduce the above-mentioned situation and reduce the influence of the noise generated by the whipping device of the cooking device on the user, thereby increasing the applicable use scenarios of the cooking device.

[0042] Specifically, the cooking device comprises a heating device for heating a cooked food and a whipping device for whipping the cooked food. After receiving the first input, the preset reservation mode is started. When the cooking device is in the preset reservation mode, the heating device is started to heat the cooked food so that the cooked food is cooked. The start of the whipping device is not controlled by the program, but by the user. When the cooking device receives the second input of the user, the whipping device is started to whip the cooked food heated. In the above control process, the stage of generating noise during the operation of the cooking device such as a blender is the operation of the whipping device. In this control process, the operation of the whipping device is controlled by the user. The user can control the timing of starting the whipping device according to the actual use demand, so that the influence of the noise generated by the operation of the whipping device on the user is reduced.

[0043] In any of the above technical solutions, the first input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input entered by a terminal interacting with the cooking device, for example, triggering of a button marked "preset reservation mode" on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0044] In any of the above embodiments, the second input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input entered by a terminal interacting with the cooking device. For example, the second input can be triggering of a button marked "start" on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0045] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the "whipping the cooked food material" in the present application includes two parts, namely the "stirring" and "beating" two parts, wherein the "stirring" is the stirring treatment of the cooked food material, and the "beating" is the destructive treatment of the cooked food material, such as breaking the skin, shell and pulp of the cooked food material.

[0060] To better understand the above aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0061] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for controlling a cooking apparatus, the cooking apparatus including a heating device and a mixing device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the control methods for the cooking equipment include:

[0064] Step 102: Receive the first input, wherein the first input is used to instruct the activation of the preset reservation mode and control the heating device to start until the food is cooked.

[0065] At step 104, a second input is received, and the whipping device is controlled to operate so as to whip the heated cooked food material.

[0066] Embodiments of the present application propose a control method of a cooking device, by which the above-mentioned situation can be effectively reduced, and the noise generated by the whipping device of the cooking device when operating can be reduced to affect the user, so as to increase the applicable use scenarios of the cooking device.

[0067] Specifically, the cooking device comprises a heating device for heating the cooked food material and a whipping device for whipping the cooked food material. When a first input is received, a preset reservation mode is started, and when the cooking device is in the preset reservation mode, the heating device is started to heat the cooked food material so as to cook the cooked food material, and the whipping device is not controlled by the program but controlled by the user, and when the cooking device receives a second input of the user, the whipping device is started to whip the heated cooked food material. In the above-mentioned control process, the stage of generating noise during the operation of the cooking device such as a blender is the operation of the whipping device, and in the control process, the operation of the whipping device is controlled by the user, and the user can control the timing of starting the whipping device according to the actual use demand, so as to reduce the influence of the noise generated by the whipping device when operating on the user.

[0068] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input inputted by a terminal interacting with the cooking device, for example, triggering of a button marked as “preset reservation mode” on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0069] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the second input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input inputted by a terminal interacting with the cooking device, for example, the second input can be triggering of a button marked as “start” on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0070] In addition, it is worth mentioning that “whipping the cooked food material” in the present application includes two parts, i.e., “whipping” and “beating”, wherein “whipping” is the stirring treatment of the cooked food material, and “beating” is the destructive treatment of the cooked food material, such as breaking the skin, shell and pulp of the cooked food material.

[0071] Embodiment Two

[0072] In this embodiment, the control logic of controlling the heating device to start until the cooked food material is cooked is specifically limited, and specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , it comprises:

[0073] Step 202, record the running time of the heating device;

[0074] Step 204, in the case that the running time of the heating device exceeds the first preset time length, control the heating device to stop running.

[0075] In this embodiment, considering that the role played by the heating device in the above stage is to heat the cooked food material so as to cook the cooked food material, therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the first preset time length is introduced to determine the running time of the heating device in this stage, specifically, in the case that the running time of the heating device is less than the first preset time length, control the heating device to continue running, and in the case that the running time of the heating device is greater than or equal to the first preset time length, control the heating device to stop running.

[0076] In this process, it can be ensured that the cooked food material can be cooked while avoiding energy waste caused by the long running time of the heating device.

[0077] It is worth pointing out that in the case that the heating power of the heating device is constant, the setting of the first preset time length is positively correlated with the weight of the cooked food material, that is, as the weight of the cooked food material increases, the first preset time length increases accordingly, and in the embodiment of the present application, the value range of the first preset time length is not limited.

[0078] Embodiment three

[0079] In this embodiment, the control logic for controlling the heating device to start until the cooked food material is cooked is specifically limited, specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , it includes:

[0080] Step 302, obtain the activity of urease in the cooked food material;

[0081] Step 304, in the case that the urease in the cooked food material is inactivated, control the heating device to stop running.

[0082] In this embodiment, considering that the cooking equipment such as a blender can make soybean drinks such as soy milk, and for this kind of soybean drinks, the way to determine whether it is cooked can be determined by judging the activity of urease in the cooked food material, therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, whether the cooked food material is cooked can be determined by judging the activity of urease in the cooked food material, and in this process, on the basis of determining that the cooked food material is cooked, the situation of over-heating the cooked food material by the heating device to cause the cooked food material to be scorched can be reduced.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the activity of urease in the cooked food material is not limited here.

[0084] In one of the embodiments, after the step of receiving the first input to start the preset reservation mode and controlling the heating device to operate to heat the cooking material, the method further comprises: obtaining the cooking temperature of the cooking device; and based on the cooking temperature being greater than or equal to the target temperature, controlling the heating device to stop operating.

[0085] In this embodiment, another way to determine whether the heating device needs to stop heating is specifically defined. When other control logic for controlling the heating device to stop operating is abnormal, such as being unable to obtain the heating duration or being unable to obtain the activity of urease in the cooking material, the cooking device can control the heating device. In this process, the reliability of the operation of the cooking device is ensured.

[0086] Embodiment Four

[0087] In this embodiment, the control logic after the cooking material is cooked is specifically defined. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , the method comprises:

[0088] Step 402: obtaining the cooking temperature of the cooking device;

[0089] Step 404: in the case that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is lower than the preset temperature range, controlling the heating device to start again until the cooking temperature of the cooking device is maintained within the preset temperature range.

[0090] In one of the embodiments, in the control process in which the cooking temperature of the cooking device is maintained within the preset temperature range in step 404, if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is lower than the preset temperature range, the heating device is controlled to start again, and if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is higher than the preset temperature range, the heating device is controlled to stop operating.

[0091] In one of the embodiments, in the control process in which the cooking temperature of the cooking device is maintained within the preset temperature range in step 404, if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is lower than the preset temperature range, the heating power of the heating device is increased, and if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is higher than the preset temperature range, the heating power of the heating device is decreased or the heating device is controlled to stop operating.

[0092] In this embodiment, after the heating device stops operating, the temperature of the cooking material gradually decreases, i.e., the cooking material gradually cools down, because the cooking device is not supplied with heat. Considering that the temperature value of the cooking material is not suitable to be too low, if the temperature is too low, the user will be affected in taste when eating the cooking material.

[0093] In order to reduce the occurrence of the above situation, the embodiment of the present application will detect the cooking temperature of the cooking device when the heating device stops running, and in the case that the detected temperature value is less than or equal to the preset temperature range, the heating device is started again to heat the cooked food, so as to ensure that the cooking temperature of the cooking device can be maintained within the preset temperature range to meet the temperature requirement of the user when eating, and ensure the eating taste.

[0094] In any of the above embodiments, the cooking temperature of the cooking device can be obtained by a temperature sensor arranged on the pot body for containing the cooked food.

[0095] In any of the above embodiments, the cooking temperature of the cooking device can also be obtained by arranging a temperature probe, such as inserting the temperature probe into the cooked food to obtain the cooking temperature of the cooking device.

[0096] In any of the above embodiments, the heating power of the heating device during the re-starting operation is less than or equal to the rated power.

[0097] In one embodiment, the heating power before the heating device stops running is a first power, and the heating power when the heating device is restarted is a second power, and at this time, the second power is less than the first power. By limiting the relationship between the first power and the second power, the power is low when the heating device is restarted to perform the heat preservation process on the cooked food, so as to reduce the probability of the cooked food being burnt in the heat preservation stage.

[0098] In any of the above embodiments, any temperature value in the preset temperature range is greater than or equal to 55℃ and less than or equal to 65℃.

[0099] In this embodiment, the value range of the preset temperature range is specifically limited, by limiting any temperature value to be not lower than 55℃, to avoid that the temperature of the cooked food is too low to affect the eating taste of the user, and also to ensure that the food after stirring can be directly eaten without temperature drop after the user starts the stirring device. By limiting any temperature value to be not higher than 65℃, to reduce the occurrence of the situation that the user is scalded.

[0100] Embodiment five

[0101] In this embodiment, the control logic of receiving the first input to control the heating device to start until the cooked food is cooked is specifically limited, specifically, the first input includes a second preset time, and a third preset time is determined according to the second preset time, wherein the third preset time is less than or equal to the second preset time; as shown in the following table, including: Figure 5

[0102] ​Step 502, start timing in the case of receiving the first input of starting the preset reservation mode;

[0103] Step 504, control the heating device to start in the case of the timing duration being greater than or equal to the third preset duration.

[0104] In this embodiment, the preset reservation mode, as the name implies, is a function that is reserved to be executed without manual starting by the user. The first input entered by the application when starting the preset reservation mode includes a second preset duration, where the second reservation duration represents the duration that the user wants to reserve. In the preset reservation mode, the heating device is not always in the heating state, but starts heating when the timing reaches the third reservation duration. In this process, the timing of starting the heating device is limited, and under the premise of ensuring that the cooked food is cooked, the energy waste caused by the heating device being always started is avoided.

[0105] Embodiment six

[0106] In this embodiment, the control logic when the duration of the cooking device is greater than the duration set by the user is specifically limited. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , it includes:

[0107] Step 602, start timing in the case of receiving the first input of starting the preset reservation mode;

[0108] Step 604, control the heating device to stop running and output warning information in the case of the timing duration being greater than or equal to the fourth preset duration.

[0109] The fourth preset duration is greater than the second preset duration.

[0110] In this technical solution, the control logic of the cooking device in the case of the cooking device starting to run for too long is specifically limited. Specifically, when the timing duration exceeds the fourth preset duration, the heating device is controlled to stop running to avoid control failure during the running of the cooking device, and the heating device does not stop heating according to the first preset duration, causing the cooked food to be burnt, etc. In this process, the reliability of the cooking device is ensured.

[0111] In addition, by outputting the warning information, the user can know the current state of the cooked food, and the probability of the user eating the food with a long preservation time and feeling uncomfortable is reduced.

[0112] Embodiment seven

[0113] The embodiments of the application propose a control device 700 of a cooking device, which includes a heating device and a whipping device, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the control device 700 of the cooking device comprises: a receiving unit 702 configured to receive a first input, wherein the first input is used to indicate starting of a preset reservation mode; a control unit 704 configured to control the heating device to start until the cooked food material is cooked; the receiving unit 702 is further configured to receive a second input; and the control unit 704 is further configured to control the whipping device to operate so that the whipping device whips the heated cooked food material.

[0114] The embodiment of the present application provides a control device 700 of a cooking device. By controlling the cooking device through the control device 700, the occurrence of the above-mentioned situation can be effectively reduced, and the influence of the noise generated by the operation of the whipping device in the cooking device on the user is reduced, so that the use scenarios of the cooking device are increased.

[0115] Specifically, the cooking device comprises a heating device configured to heat the cooked food material and a whipping device configured to whip the cooked food material. After receiving the first input, the preset reservation mode is started. When the cooking device is in the preset reservation mode, the heating device starts to heat the cooked food material so that the cooked food material is cooked. The starting of the whipping device is not controlled by the program but controlled by the user. When the cooking device receives the second input of the user, the whipping device starts to whip the heated cooked food material. In the above-mentioned control process, the stage of generating noise in the operation process of the cooking device such as the blender is the operation of the whipping device. In the control process, the operation of the whipping device is controlled by the user. The user can control the timing of starting the whipping device according to the actual use demand, so that the influence of the noise generated by the operation of the whipping device on the user is reduced.

[0116] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input inputted by a terminal interacting with the cooking device, for example, triggering of a button marked as “preset reservation mode” on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0117] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the second input can be understood as an input on the control panel of the cooking device, or an input inputted by a terminal interacting with the cooking device. For example, the second input can be triggering of a button marked as “start” on the control panel of the cooking device.

[0118] In addition, it is worth noting that “whipping the cooked food material” in the present application comprises two parts, i.e., “stirring” and “beating”. The “stirring” is stirring treatment of the cooked food material, and the “beating” is destructive treatment of the cooked food material, such as breaking the skin, shell and pulp of the cooked food material.

[0119] In one of the embodiments, the control logic for controlling the heating device to start until the cooked food material is cooked is defined, and specifically, the control unit 704 is specifically configured to record the running time of the heating device; in the case that the running time of the heating device exceeds a first preset time length, the control unit 704 is configured to control the heating device to stop running.

[0120] In this embodiment, considering that the role played by the heating device in the above stage is to heat the cooked food material so as to cook the cooked food material, therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the first preset time length is introduced to determine the running time of the heating device in this stage, and specifically, in the case that the running time of the heating device is less than the first preset time length, the control unit 704 is configured to control the heating device to continue running, and in the case that the running time of the heating device is greater than or equal to the first preset time length, the control unit 704 is configured to control the heating device to stop running.

[0121] In this process, it can be ensured that the cooked food material can be cooked while avoiding the energy waste caused by the long running time of the heating device.

[0122] It is worth pointing out that in the case that the heating power of the heating device is constant, the setting of the first preset time length is positively correlated with the weight of the cooked food material, that is, with the increase of the weight of the cooked food material, the first preset time length increases, and in the embodiments of the present application, the value range of the first preset time length is not limited.

[0123] In one of the embodiments, the control logic for controlling the heating device to start until the cooked food material is cooked is defined, and specifically, the control unit 704 is specifically configured to obtain the activity of urease in the cooked food material; in the case that the urease in the cooked food material is inactivated, the control unit 704 is configured to control the heating device to stop running.

[0124] In this embodiment, considering that the cooking device such as the blender can make soybean drinks such as soybean milk, and for this kind of soybean drink, the way to determine whether it is cooked can be determined by judging the activity of urease in the cooked food material, therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, whether the cooked food material is cooked can be determined by judging the activity of urease in the cooked food material, and in this process, on the basis of determining that the cooked food material is cooked, the situation that the cooked food material is burnt caused by the excessive heating of the heating device to the cooked food material can be reduced.

[0125] In the above embodiments, the activity of urease in the cooked food material is not specifically limited here.

[0126] In one of the embodiments, the control logic for controlling the heating device to start until the cooked food material is cooked is defined, and specifically, the control unit 704 is specifically configured to obtain the cooking temperature of the cooking device; based on the cooking temperature being greater than or equal to the target temperature, the control unit 704 is configured to control the heating device to stop running.

[0127] In this embodiment, another way for determining whether the heating device needs to stop heating is specifically defined, and the cooking device can implement control of the heating device when other control logic for controlling the heating device to stop running is abnormal, such as being unable to obtain the heating duration or being unable to obtain the activity of urease in the cooked food, in this process, the reliability of the cooking device is ensured.

[0128] In one of the embodiments, the control logic after the cooked food is cooked is defined, specifically, the receiving unit 702 is further configured to obtain the cooking temperature of the cooking device; and the control unit 704 is further configured to control the heating device to start again until the cooking temperature of the cooking device is maintained within the preset temperature range, if the cooking temperature of the cooking device is lower than the preset temperature range.

[0129] In one of the embodiments, specifically, in the control process in which the cooking temperature of the cooking device is maintained within the preset temperature range, if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is lower than the preset temperature range, the heating device is controlled to start again, and if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is higher than the preset temperature range, the heating device is controlled to stop running.

[0130] In one of the embodiments, specifically, in the control process in which the cooking temperature of the cooking device is maintained within the preset temperature range, if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is lower than the preset temperature range, the heating power of the heating device is increased, and if it is detected that the cooking temperature of the cooking device is higher than the preset temperature range, the heating power of the heating device is decreased or the heating device is controlled to stop running.

[0131] In this embodiment, after the heating device stops running, the temperature of the cooked food gradually decreases, that is, the cooked food gradually cools down, and considering that the temperature value of the cooked food is not suitable to be too low, if the temperature is too low, the user will be affected in taste when eating the cooked food.

[0132] In order to reduce the occurrence of the above situation, the embodiments of the present application will detect the temperature of the cooked food when the heating device stops running, and in the case that the detected temperature value is less than or equal to the preset temperature range, the heating device is controlled to start again to heat the cooked food, so as to ensure that the temperature of the cooked food can be maintained within the preset temperature range, to meet the temperature requirement of the user when eating, and ensure the eating taste.

[0133] In any of the above embodiments, the cooking temperature of the cooking device can be obtained by a temperature sensor arranged on a pot body for containing the cooked food.

[0134] In any of the above embodiments, the cooking temperature of the cooking device can also be obtained by setting a temperature probe, such as inserting the temperature probe into the food being cooked, so as to obtain the cooking temperature of the cooking device.

[0135] In any of the above embodiments, the heating power of the heating device is less than or equal to its rated power during the process of restarting the operation of the heating device.

[0136] In one of the embodiments, the heating power before the heating device stops operating is a first power, and the heating power when the heating device is restarted is a second power, at this time, the second power is less than the first power, by limiting the relationship between the first power and the second power, the power is low when the heating device restarts the heat preservation process of the food being cooked, therefore, the probability of the food being cooked being scorched during the heat preservation stage is reduced.

[0137] In any of the above embodiments, any temperature value in the preset temperature range is greater than or equal to 55℃ and less than or equal to 65℃.

[0138] In this embodiment, the value range of the preset temperature range is specifically limited, by limiting any temperature value to be not lower than 55℃, to avoid the temperature of the food being cooked being too low to affect the eating taste of the user, in addition, it can also ensure that the food after being stirred can be directly eaten without temperature drop after the user starts the stirring device, by limiting any temperature value to be not higher than 65℃, to reduce the occurrence of the user being scalded.

[0139] In one of the embodiments, the control logic of receiving the first input and controlling the heating device to start until the food being cooked is cooked is specifically limited, specifically, the first input includes a second preset time, and the third preset time is determined according to the second preset time, wherein the third preset time is less than or equal to the second preset time; specifically, the control unit 704 is also used to start timing in the case of receiving the first input of starting the preset reservation mode; in the case that the timing duration is greater than or equal to the third preset time, the heating device is controlled to start.

[0140] In this embodiment, the preset reservation mode, as the name implies, is a function that needs to be reserved without manual starting by the user, the first input entered when the preset reservation mode is started by the application includes a second preset time, wherein the second reservation time is used to represent the time length that the user wants to reserve, wherein in the preset reservation mode, the heating device is not always in the heating state, but starts heating when the timing reaches the third reservation time. In this process, the timing of starting the heating device is limited, which avoids the waste of energy caused by the heating device being always started under the premise of ensuring that the food being cooked is cooked.

[0141] In one of the embodiments, the control logic is defined when the running time of the cooking device is greater than the time set by the user, the control unit 704 is further configured to start timing when the first input to start the preset reservation mode is received, and control the heating device to stop running and output warning information when the timing duration is greater than or equal to the fourth preset time duration.

[0142] In one of the embodiments, the control logic is defined when the running time of the cooking device is greater than the time set by the user, the control unit 704 is further configured to start timing when the first input to start the preset reservation mode is received, and control the heating device to stop running and output warning information when the timing duration is greater than or equal to the fourth preset time duration.

[0143] In this technical solution, the control logic of the cooking device is specifically defined when the cooking device is running for too long, specifically, when the timing duration exceeds the fourth preset time duration, the heating device is controlled to stop running, so as to avoid the occurrence of control failure during the running of the cooking device, and the heating device does not stop heating according to the first preset time duration, causing the occurrence of the situation that the cooked food material is burnt, etc. In this process, the reliability of the cooking device is ensured.

[0144] In addition, the warning information is outputted so as to inform the user of the current state of the cooked food material, and reduce the probability of the occurrence of the situation that the user eats the food material that has been kept warm for too long and feels uncomfortable.
