TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a kitchen appliance liquid level and liquid volume real-time monitoring system. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, there are many types of kitchen appliances, including various electric appliances for preparing drinks, such as hot beverage machines, coffee machines, etc. These devices are provided with a liquid cavity, and the liquid level in the cavity needs to be monitored during use to achieve the purpose of controlling the amount of liquid discharged. For example, when a user is brewing a cup of coffee, the device needs to discharge a certain amount of hot water for brewing, and if the device discharges too much or too little hot water, it will result in poor taste of the brewed coffee. Although many kitchen appliances can monitor the change of liquid level or liquid volume in real time, the implementation method is too complex and the cost is generally too high. Currently, the flow control of kitchen appliances usually uses flow meters or program algorithms for control. The use of flow meters has high equipment cost, and the use of program algorithms cannot guarantee the calculation accuracy, which will result in large errors. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a kitchen appliance liquid level and liquid volume real-time monitoring system to solve the problems of cost and accuracy, and to monitor the liquid level in real time.
