[0048] According to another aspect of this application, a storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described control method for a drum cooker.

[0049] According to another aspect of this application, a drum cooker is provided, including a storage medium, a processor, and a computer program stored on the storage medium and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the above-described method of the drum cooker.

[0050] By employing the above technical solution, this application provides a method and device for controlling the shaking of a drum-type cooking pot, a storage medium, and the pot itself. In shaking mode, the drum-type cooking pot can rotate alternately in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to achieve back-and-forth shaking of the pot body. Simultaneously, the amplitude of the alternating rotation of the drum-type cooking pot is limited by keeping a preset positioning component within a target motion range. By allowing the drum-type cooking pot to shake back and forth within a certain range, the traditional flipping operation of a traditional cooking pot is replaced, effectively reducing food breakage caused by pot rotation while cooking the ingredients inside, thus improving the quality of the dish. Furthermore, since the ingredients are less likely to break during the shaking process, the control method of this application allows for longer cooking times compared to traditional flipping operations. For ingredients requiring long cooking times to absorb flavor, this application can improve the flavor absorption effect.

[0051] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following are specific embodiments of this application.

[0061] 401 Stirring component, 402 Non-food covered area, 403 Food covered area, 404 First motion boundary, 405 Second motion boundary. Detailed Implementation

[0062] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0063] This embodiment provides a method for controlling the shaking of a drum-type pot, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0064] Step 101: In response to the shaking mode trigger signal of the drum pot, determine the target motion range corresponding to the preset positioning component in the drum pot under the shaking mode.

[0065] The shaking method for a drum cooker provided in this application is mainly used to solve the problem of food breakage caused by the rotation of existing drum cookers during cooking.

[0066] Based on this, in step 101 above, a shaking mode trigger signal for the drum pot is obtained. This signal is used to trigger the drum pot to enter the shaking mode. Before entering the shaking mode, it is first determined how the pot body should shake in this mode. Specifically, the target movement range of the positioning component is first determined. The positioning component is pre-set in the drum pot and can be used to position the rotation angle of the drum pot. Therefore, the rotation amplitude of the drum pot can be determined by controlling the target movement range corresponding to the preset positioning component.

[0067] Step 102: Obtain the current position of the preset positioning component, and control the target working parameters of the drum pot according to the current position and the target movement range, so that the drum pot rotates alternately in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions in the shaking mode, and the preset positioning component is within the target movement range.

[0068] After determining the target motion range and current position of the preset positioning component, the target working parameters of the drum pot in this mode can be determined. This allows the drum pot to be controlled to operate according to the target working parameters and enter the shaking mode. Specifically, the drum pot's rotation speed and direction can be controlled to make it rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, that is, the drum pot shakes back and forth. During the alternating rotation, the preset positioning component is always kept within the target motion range, so that the drum pot is always kept within a certain range in this mode, thereby avoiding excessive rotation that could cause the food to break.

[0069] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the pot can enter the shaking mode upon receiving a shaking mode trigger signal. In shaking mode, the drum pot can rotate alternately in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to achieve back-and-forth shaking of the pot body. At the same time, the amplitude of the alternating rotation of the drum pot is limited by keeping the preset positioning component within the target motion range.

[0070] This application replaces the traditional tossing operation of a drum-shaped wok by causing it to sway back and forth within a certain range. This effectively reduces food breakage caused by the wok's rotation while cooking the ingredients, thus improving the quality of the dish. Furthermore, because the ingredients are less likely to break during the swaying process, the control method of this application allows for longer cooking times compared to traditional tossing. For ingredients requiring longer cooking times to absorb flavor, this application can improve the flavor absorption.

[0071] Furthermore, as a refinement and extension of the specific implementation of the above embodiments, and to fully illustrate the specific implementation process of this embodiment, another method for controlling the shaking of the pot is provided. In this method, the preset positioning component includes the stirring component 401 of the drum pot, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0072] Step 201: In response to the shaking mode trigger signal of the drum pot, obtain the cooking ingredient attributes and / or cooking ingredient specifications corresponding to the drum pot.

[0073] When a shaking mode trigger signal is received, the attributes and / or specifications of the cooking ingredients can be obtained first, and then the target movement range corresponding to the preset positioning component can be determined based on this information.

[0074] For example, after obtaining the specifications of the ingredients, if the drum cooker contains a large amount of ingredients, the target range of motion can be set larger, allowing the drum cooker to rotate more significantly and better turn the ingredients. Conversely, if the ingredients are fragile, such as tofu, the target range of motion can be set smaller, resulting in a smaller rotation and preventing the tofu from breaking. Ingredient attributes can also include the characteristics of the ingredients under specific cooking requirements. For instance, in a recipe requiring pan-fried fish to be golden brown on both sides, fish itself is not fragile, but because it needs to be fried until golden brown on both sides, it's necessary to avoid frequent flipping while frying one side. Therefore, the drum cooker's rotation should be smaller to prevent the fish from flipping frequently during the alternating shaking of the drum.

[0075] Furthermore, the properties and / or specifications of cooking ingredients can be obtained through sensors, or by receiving user input or information from electronic recipes.

[0076] Step 202: Determine the target motion range corresponding to the preset positioning component based on the properties and / or specifications of the cooking ingredients. The target motion range includes the first motion boundary 404 and the second motion boundary 405 corresponding to the target stirring area or the target avoidance area. The target stirring area includes the food coverage area of ​​the drum pot, and the target avoidance area includes the non-food coverage area of ​​the drum pot.

[0077] Specifically, a drum cooker includes a food-covered area and a non-food-covered area. The food-covered area generally refers to the area where food, after being placed in the drum cooker, covers the bottom of the pot due to gravity. During cooking, the drum cooker is typically tilted; therefore, the food covers the bottom side of the pot, and this area is also the main heating area of ​​the drum cooker's heating element. The target movement range includes a target stirring area or a target avoidance area. The target stirring area includes the food-covered area, and the target avoidance area includes the non-food-covered area.

[0078] After obtaining the attributes and / or specifications of the cooking ingredients, it can be determined whether the stirring component 401 stirs the ingredients during the cooking process. For example, when cooking fragile ingredients, the stirring component 401 does not need to stir the ingredients. In this case, the stirring component 401 can be kept within the target avoidance area to prevent it from stirring the ingredients. Since the preset positioning component includes the stirring component 401 of the drum cooker, the preset positioning component is also always located within the target avoidance area. In this case, the target movement range can be determined, such that the target movement range includes the first movement boundary 404 and the second movement boundary 405 of the target avoidance area.

[0079] Conversely, if the stirring component 401 stirs the food, then the target motion range can include the first motion boundary 404 and the second motion boundary 405 of the target stirring area, that is, the target motion range includes the area covered by the food.

[0080] In the above embodiments, by acquiring the attributes and / or specifications of the cooking ingredients, the target motion range is determined when stirring is required, including the two motion boundaries corresponding to the target stirring area; when stirring is not required, the target motion range is determined, including the two motion boundaries of the target avoidance area. Different target motion ranges are determined for specific usage scenarios, enabling or disabling the stirring function, making the control of the cooking process more aligned with the actual needs of the ingredients.

[0081] Alternatively, the target movement range can be determined by receiving user input. For example, user input can be received via touchscreen, voice, wireless network, or Bluetooth, among other methods; no specific method is specified here.

[0082] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method may further include:

[0083] Step 301: Determine the boundaries of the first and second cooking ingredients based on their specifications.

[0084] The boundaries between the two cooking ingredient boundaries are determined based on the size and specifications of the ingredients. Specifically, if there are more ingredients, the area they cover will also be larger, and the distance between the first and second cooking ingredient boundaries will be correspondingly greater. Conversely, if there are fewer ingredients, the area they cover will be smaller, and the first and second cooking ingredient boundaries can be closer together.

[0085] Step 302: Based on a preset stirring angle, the boundary of the first cooking ingredient, or the boundary of the second cooking ingredient, determine the first movement boundary 404 and the second movement boundary 405 of the target movement range; wherein, when the target movement range is a target avoidance area, the first movement boundary 404 is within the coverage area of ​​the cooking ingredient, and the angle between the first movement boundary 404 and the boundary of the first cooking ingredient is the preset stirring angle; or, the second movement boundary 405 is within the coverage area of ​​the cooking ingredient, and the angle between the second movement boundary 405 and the boundary of the second cooking ingredient is the preset stirring angle.

[0086] Specifically, when stirring is not required, the target movement range includes the target avoidance area. Since the food is not stirred, there is a risk of scorching, and the risk of scorching is even greater at the edges of the food-covered area, i.e., at the boundaries between two cooking ingredients. In this situation, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the first moving boundary 404 or the second moving boundary 405 is within the coverage area of ​​the cooking ingredients, and the angle between the first moving boundary 404 and the first cooking ingredient boundary or the angle between the second moving boundary 405 and the second cooking ingredient boundary is a preset stirring angle, so that the stirring component 401 can just scrape the first cooking ingredient boundary or the second cooking ingredient boundary, thereby preventing the boundary part from sticking to the pot.

[0087] Furthermore, it should be noted that this method only places either the first motion boundary 404 or the second motion boundary 405 within the area covered by the cooking ingredients, and only sets the angle between the first motion boundary 404 and the first cooking ingredient boundary, or the angle between the second motion boundary 405 and the second cooking ingredient boundary, as the preset stirring angle. It does not place both motion boundaries within the cooking ingredient coverage area and set the angles between the first motion boundary 404 and the first cooking ingredient boundary, and the second motion boundary 405 and the second cooking ingredient boundary, as the preset stirring angles. This method avoids the need for the pot to rotate at preset stirring angles on both sides, as excessive rotation angles can affect the integrity of the ingredients. Of course, when the amount of ingredients is too large or if necessary, both motion boundaries can be placed within the cooking ingredient coverage area, and the angles between the first motion boundary 404 and the first cooking ingredient boundary, and the angles between the second motion boundary 405 and the second cooking ingredient boundary, can be set as preset stirring angles. The angles between the first motion boundary 404 and the first cooking ingredient boundary and the second motion boundary 405 and the second cooking ingredient boundary can be the same or different, meaning the preset stirring angles on both sides can be different.

[0088] like Figure 5 As shown, when the target motion range includes the first motion boundary 404 and the second motion boundary 405, the method may further include:

[0089] Step 501: In response to the shaking mode trigger signal of the drum pot, determine the target motion range corresponding to the preset positioning component in the drum pot under the shaking mode.

[0090] Step 502: Obtain the planned cooking power of the drum cooker;

[0091] Specifically, the planned cooking power can be the default cooking power of the drum cooker, or it can be set by the user, or it can be determined according to the recipe corresponding to the dish being cooked.

[0092] Step 503: When the planned cooking power is greater than the preset power threshold, adjust the working power of the drum pot to the preset power threshold; otherwise, use the planned cooking power as the working power of the drum pot.

[0093] When the planned cooking power exceeds the preset power threshold, the pot heats up too quickly and reaches a high temperature, making it prone to burning. In this case, the pot's power should be adjusted to the preset power threshold to prevent burning. Conversely, if the power is low, the pot temperature will be lower, making it less likely to burn, so the planned cooking power should be used.

[0094] Furthermore, the preset power threshold can be a default setting or a setting based on the ingredients' properties and / or specifications.

[0095] In this embodiment, by comparing the planned cooking power with the preset power threshold, it is determined whether there is a risk of burning the food. Based on this, the working power of the drum cooker is adjusted to avoid burning the food, ensure the quality of the dishes, and make the drum cooker easy to clean.

[0096] Step 504: Determine the shaking speed corresponding to the shaking mode based on the working power and / or the properties and / or specifications of the cooking ingredients.

[0097] After determining the operating power, the shaking speed in the shaking mode is determined based on one or more of the operating power, the properties of the ingredients being cooked, and the specifications of the ingredients. For example, when the operating power is higher, the pot heats up faster, and the shaking speed can be increased accordingly to prevent food from burning; when the operating power is lower, the pot heats up slower, and the shaking speed can be decreased accordingly to ensure that the food in the pot is heated more thoroughly.

[0098] Step 505: Determine if the drum pot is stationary; if yes, proceed to step 506; if no, proceed to step 509.

[0099] Step 506: Obtain the preset stopping position of the preset positioning component as the current position;

[0100] If the drum is stationary, the preset stopping position of the preset positioning component is taken as the current position. The preset stopping position of the preset positioning component is its current position. Since the preset positioning component is stationary relative to the drum, its position can be used to indicate the rotation angle of the drum.

[0101] Step 507: When the drum is stationary, if the current position is outside the target movement range, determine the first angle between the current position and the first movement boundary 404 and the second angle between the current position and the second movement boundary 405, and obtain the boundary corresponding to the smaller value of the first angle and the second angle as the entry boundary. Determine the initial direction of the drum based on the positional relationship between the current position and the entry boundary; or use the preset default direction as the initial direction of the drum.

[0102] If the current position is outside the target movement range, then the drum is rotated first to bring the preset positioning component into the target movement range. Specifically, the preset positioning component can enter the target movement range from either the first movement boundary 404 or the second movement boundary 405. Since the distance of the preset positioning component from the two movement boundaries may be different, the time required for it to enter the target movement range from the first movement boundary 404 and the second movement boundary 405 may also be different.

[0103] Therefore, the first included angle between the current position and the first motion boundary 404 and the second included angle between the current position and the second motion boundary 405 are determined respectively. If the first included angle is smaller than the second included angle, it means that the preset positioning component is closer to the first motion boundary 404 and the time required to enter the target motion range from the first motion boundary 404 is shorter. Therefore, the first motion boundary 404 can be used as the entry boundary. Otherwise, the second motion boundary 405 is used as the entry boundary. Finally, the initial direction is determined according to the entry boundary.

[0104] Of course, the preset default direction can also be used as the initial direction of the drum pot, without having to determine the size of the first and second included angles, thus simplifying the control logic.

[0105] Step 508: Control the drum to rotate in the initial direction so that the preset positioning component enters the target movement range from the entry boundary;

[0106] After determining the entry boundary, the initial direction of the drum is determined based on the entry boundary. The preset positioning component is then positioned in the direction of the entry boundary as the initial direction, and the drum rotates in this direction, causing the preset positioning component to enter the target motion range from the entry boundary. Furthermore, after the preset positioning component enters the target motion range, the drum continues to operate with certain parameters, causing the preset positioning component to oscillate back and forth within the target motion range in a shaking mode, thus achieving the shaking effect of the drum.

[0107] This embodiment determines the initial direction of the drum pot by comparing the angle between the preset positioning component and the two movement boundaries. The drum pot rotates in the initial direction so that the preset positioning component enters the target movement range in a shorter time, reducing preparation time and improving cooking efficiency.

[0108] Step 509: While the drum pot is in motion, obtain the current direction of the drum pot and the shaking speed corresponding to the shaking mode.

[0109] Step 510: Take the current direction as the initial direction of the drum pot;

[0110] If the drum is in motion, the current direction of the drum is taken as the initial direction. This ensures that the initial direction is the same as the current direction, so the drum does not need to change direction, thus avoiding the time to enter the target motion range being longer due to the change of direction.

[0111] Step 511: Control the drum pot to rotate in the initial direction according to the shaking speed;

[0112] During the process of controlling the rolling pot to enter the target motion range, the drum pot rotates according to the shaking speed. Since the shaking mode involves forward and reverse rotation during normal operation, the drum pot's speed changes when the direction changes; that is, the speed in one direction drops to 0 before rotation in the other direction can begin. Therefore, within the motion range, excluding the two short preset distances at the ends, the shaking speed in the shaking mode can be considered a constant speed. The shaking speed in the shaking mode can refer to the shaking speed during the constant speed phase in the middle.

[0113] It should be noted that controlling the drum pot to rotate according to the shaking speed means using the shaking speed as the adjustment target, and does not mean that the current actual speed has been adjusted to the shaking speed. For example, when the shaking mode is started, if the current position is close to the target movement range, the drum pot's speed may not have been adjusted to the shaking speed even when the preset positioning component enters the target movement range.

[0114] In this embodiment of the application, the target operating parameters may include preparation stage parameters and shaking stage parameters. Optionally, step 508 may further determine the target operating parameters of the drum cooker and control the drum cooker's operation in shaking mode in the following manner:

[0115] S1, based on the preset preparation speed corresponding to the shaking mode, determine the first preparation time required for the preset positioning component to reach the entry boundary when the drum pot rotates in the initial direction, and based on the shaking speed corresponding to the shaking mode, determine the first time for the preset positioning component to move from the entry boundary to the exit boundary when the drum pot rotates in the first direction, wherein the first direction is the initial direction.

[0116] S2, determine the first preparation stage parameters of the drum pot according to the preset preparation speed, the initial direction and the first preparation time, and determine the first shaking stage parameters according to the shaking speed, the first direction and the first time, and determine the second shaking stage parameters according to the shaking speed, the second direction and the second time, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction and the second time is the same as the first time.

[0117] S3, after controlling the drum pot to work according to the first preparation stage parameters, it rotates alternately according to the first shaking stage parameters and the second shaking stage parameters.

[0118] In the first preparation stage, the drum is controlled to rotate according to the parameters of the first preparation stage, so that the preset positioning component enters the target motion range; then, the first shaking stage and the second shaking stage are alternately performed according to the parameters of the first shaking stage and the second shaking stage, so that the drum rotates alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, so that the preset positioning component is always within the target motion range.

[0119] In addition, if it is determined in step 505 that the drum pot is stationary and the current position of the preset positioning component is within the target motion range, the target operating parameters of the drum pot can be determined and the drum pot can be controlled to operate in the shaking mode in the following manner:

[0120] S4, if the current position is within the target motion range, then based on the shaking speed corresponding to the shaking mode, determine the second preparation time required for the preset positioning component to reach any boundary when the drum pot rotates in the preset preparation direction, and determine the third time from any boundary to another boundary when the drum pot rotates in a third direction, wherein the third direction is opposite to the preset preparation direction.

[0121] S5, determine the second preparation stage parameters of the drum pot based on the shaking speed, the preset preparation direction and the second preparation time, determine the third shaking stage parameters based on the shaking speed, the third direction and the third time, and determine the fourth shaking stage parameters based on the shaking speed, the fourth direction and the fourth time, wherein the fourth direction is opposite to the third direction and the fourth time is the same as the third time.

[0122] S6, after controlling the drum pot to work according to the second preparation stage parameters, it rotates alternately according to the third shaking stage parameters and the fourth shaking stage parameters.

[0123] In the second preparation stage, the drum is controlled to rotate according to the parameters of the second preparation stage, so that the preset positioning component moves from the target motion range to the first motion boundary 404 or the second motion boundary 405; then the third and fourth shaking stages are performed alternately according to the parameters of the third and fourth shaking stages, so that the drum rotates alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, so that the preset positioning component is always within the target motion range.

[0124] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, steps 510 and 511 may specifically include:

[0125] S7, obtain the current rotation speed and current direction of the drum pot, and determine the third preparation time required for the preset positioning component to reach any boundary when the drum pot rotates at the current rotation speed and current direction, and determine the fifth time from any boundary to another boundary when the drum pot rotates in the fifth direction, wherein the fifth direction is the direction in which the preset positioning component rotates from any boundary to the other boundary within the target motion range;

[0126] S8, determine the third preparation stage of the drum pot based on the current direction, the current rotation speed and the third preparation duration, determine the parameters of the fifth shaking stage based on the shaking speed, the fifth direction and the fifth duration, and determine the parameters of the sixth shaking stage based on the shaking speed, the sixth direction and the sixth duration, wherein the sixth direction is opposite to the fifth direction and the sixth duration is the same as the fifth duration.

[0127] Step 512: Receive the shaking mode cancellation signal and control the drum cooker to work according to the initial working parameters of the drum cooker before entering the shaking mode; or, receive the shaking mode cancellation signal and control the drum cooker to stop working when the shaking mode cancellation signal does not contain a trigger signal for other modes.

[0128] Upon receiving the shake-to-cook cancellation signal, the drum cooker exits the shake-to-cook mode and resumes operation according to the parameters it used before entering shake-to-cook mode. For example, if the drum cooker was in tilting mode before entering shake-to-cook mode, it can return to tilting mode and continue operating using the parameters it had when in tilting mode after receiving the shake-to-cook cancellation signal.

[0129] In another possibility, upon receiving the shaking cancellation signal, the shaking cancellation signal is parsed. If the signal contains a trigger signal for other modes, then the shaking mode is exited and the mode corresponding to the trigger signal is entered. If the signal does not contain a trigger signal for other modes, then the drum cooker is directly controlled to stop working.

[0130] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, different movement methods are set according to the position of the preset positioning component and the current state of the drum pot. Specifically, the drum pot is first rotated to make the preset positioning component reach the first movement boundary 404 or the second movement boundary 405 of the target movement range, and then the drum pot is rotated alternately to make the preset positioning component reciprocate between the two movement boundaries. If the drum pot is currently stationary, it is rotated first to make the preset positioning component reach the movement boundary with the shorter distance, and then rotated alternately; if the drum pot is currently in motion, it is rotated in the current direction until the preset positioning component reaches a movement boundary, and then rotated alternately. Of course, during the process of rotating the drum pot to make the preset positioning component reach the first movement boundary 404 or the second movement boundary 405 of the target movement range, the drum pot can also be controlled to rotate in a preset default direction. This embodiment uses shaking the pot instead of the traditional flipping method, and by setting different movement methods, the drum pot can enter the normal shaking state more quickly, improving cooking efficiency.

[0131] Furthermore, as Figure 1 In a specific implementation of the method, this application provides a shaking control device 600 for a drum-type pot, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device 600 includes a range determination module 610 and a parameter control module.
