[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describes a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0020] If similar descriptions of "first / second" appear in the application documents, the following explanation is added. In the following description, the terms "first\second\third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific order for the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] The present application embodiment provides a thawing control method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method can be executed by the control component of the thawing device, which can be a cooking device with only a thawing function, such as a vacuum thawing device or a heating thawing device; of course, it can also be a cooking device with both thawing and cooking functions, such as a food processor, a chef machine, a steam-bake combination machine, a microwave oven, etc. The thawing control method includes:

[0023] Step S101, in response to a thawing start instruction, obtaining usage scenario information of the food to be thawed in the cooking cavity and starting to thaw the food to be thawed.

[0024] Here, the thawing start instruction can be a voice instruction issued by the user, wherein the voice instruction includes a thawing command word and a qualifier of the food to be thawed. For example, the thawing instruction issued by the user is "thaw beef", "thaw" is the thawing command word, and "beef" is the qualifier of the food to be thawed. The thawing start instruction can be an instruction input or selected by the user through a control panel in the thawing device. For example, the user can input the instruction "thaw pork" through a touch screen. The thawing start instruction can also be an instruction obtained from a remote control terminal (such as a mobile phone, a remote control, etc.). For example, the user can choose to start the thawing device on the mobile phone, and then the mobile phone sends the instruction for instructing the thawing device to start to the thawing device via a network connection. The thawing device enters the thawing mode in response to the thawing start instruction. During implementation, the network connection can be Bluetooth or a wireless network.

[0025] Here, the food material to be thawed can be various food materials, for example, mutton, beef, pork, chicken, quick-frozen food, and seafood.

[0026] Here, the thawing device includes a cooking cavity and a thawing assembly. The cooking cavity can be a cavity in a food processor or chef machine that can be used for cooking and thawing, or can be a thawing cavity in a vacuum thawing machine for holding food material to be thawed. The cooking cavity can be used to hold food material to be thawed, or can be a cavity that is used to hold food material to be thawed and to cook the thawed food material after thawing. In this way, the food material can be cooked directly after thawing, eliminating the need to remove the thawed food material from the thawing cavity and place it in the cooking cavity, improving user experience.

[0027] Here, the thawing method of the thawing assembly can be at least one of the following: heating wire thawing, heating pipe thawing, heating plate thawing, vacuum thawing, microwave oven thawing, electrolytic thawing, air thawing, and water thawing. For example, using a vacuum thawing method to thaw tuna can speed up the thawing process, reduce or avoid oxidation and deterioration of the tuna during thawing, and reduce juice loss after thawing.

[0028] The usage scenario information can be determined by the thawing device or input by the user through a terminal or control panel of the thawing device. It can include easy processing or direct cooking, and is not limited here. The usage scenario information of the food material to be thawed in the cooking cavity can be obtained by the control assembly of the thawing device from the terminal or the control panel of the thawing device.

[0029] In step S102, based on the usage scenario information of the food material to be thawed, the thawing termination condition of the food material to be thawed is determined.

[0030] In some embodiments, the thawing termination condition includes at least one of the following: the temperature of the food material to be thawed meets a preset temperature, the thawing time meets a preset time, the hardness of the food material to be thawed meets a preset hardness, and the juice loss rate meets a preset juice loss rate.

[0031] Here, the thawing termination condition of the thawing food material can be determined according to the type of the thawing food material and the use scenario information. For example, the thawing food material is beef, and the use scenario information is easy processing, the overall meat is hard, the surface is slightly soft, the meat does not slide during processing, the knife is easy to cut, the meat contains small ice crystals, and the like, and the determined thawing termination condition of the thawing food material is that the temperature of the center of the beef is between -2 degrees Celsius (℃, referred to as degree) and 0℃, and the hardness of the beef is between 48 Newton (N, referred to as Newton) and 65N. For another example, the thawing food material is pork chop, and the use scenario information is direct cooking, the overall meat is soft, the recovered meat is like fresh meat, and the overall temperature is uniform, and the determined thawing termination condition of the thawing food material is that the temperature of the center of the pork chop meat is between 0℃ and 4℃, and the hardness of the pork chop meat is less than 30N. In implementation, a person skilled in the art can determine the thawing termination condition of the thawing food material according to requirements, which is not limited here.

[0032] Step S103, during the thawing of the thawing food material, a thawing process parameter is acquired.

[0033] In some embodiments, the thawing process parameter can include at least one of the following: the temperature of the thawing food material, the thawing duration, the hardness of the thawing food material, and the juice loss rate. The temperature of the thawing food material can be the temperature of the center of the thawing food material. In implementation, the thawing device can further include a detection assembly, the thawing process parameter can be detected by the detection assembly, and the control assembly acquires the thawing process parameter from the detection assembly. When the thawing parameter includes the temperature of the thawing food material, the detection assembly can be a temperature measurement assembly such as a temperature sensor. When the thawing parameter includes the thawing duration of the thawing food material, the detection assembly can be a timing assembly. When the thawing parameter includes the hardness of the thawing food material, the detection assembly can be a hardness detection assembly such as a force sensor probe. In use, the probe presses the surface of the thawing food material at a low speed, and the maximum force value detected is determined as the hardness of the thawing food material. When the thawing parameter includes the juice loss rate of the thawing food material, the detection assembly can be a weighing assembly for weighing the initial mass and the mass during the thawing process of the thawing food material, so as to calculate the juice loss rate.

[0034] Step S104, when the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition, the thawing of the thawing food material is ended.

[0035] Here, the control assembly of the thawing device can acquire the thawing process parameter from the detection assembly, and judge whether the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition. In the case of meeting, the thawing of the thawing food material is ended. In the case of not meeting, the control assembly continues to acquire the thawing process parameter from the detection assembly, and continues to judge whether the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition.

[0036] In some embodiments, the thawing termination condition comprises at least one of the following: a temperature of the food material to be thawed satisfying a preset temperature, a thawing duration satisfying a preset duration, a hardness of the food material to be thawed satisfying a preset hardness, and a juice loss rate satisfying a preset juice loss rate; and correspondingly, the ending the thawing of the food material to be thawed when the thawing process parameter satisfies the thawing termination condition comprises: the temperature of the food material to be thawed reaching the preset temperature, or the thawing duration reaching the preset duration, or the hardness of the food material to be thawed reaching the preset hardness, or the juice loss rate reaching the preset juice loss rate.

[0037] The thawing control method provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises: obtaining usage scenario information of food material to be thawed in a cooking cavity and starting thawing of the food material to be thawed; determining a thawing termination condition of the food material to be thawed based on the scenario information; obtaining a thawing process parameter during the thawing of the food material to be thawed; and ending the thawing of the food material to be thawed when the thawing process parameter satisfies the thawing termination condition. In this way, the thawing termination condition of the food material to be thawed can be determined according to different usage scenarios during the thawing of the food material to be thawed, different requirements can be met, and user experience can be improved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: receiving recipe information; and determining the usage scenario information based on the recipe information. Here, the recipe information can be received through a terminal or a control panel of a thawing device; and / or, the recipe information can be received by inputting in an input box, selecting in a drop-down menu or selection box, voice input or text input. For example, the food material to be thawed is mutton, the recipe information input by a user through a control panel is to slice the mutton and cook hot pot, the usage scenario information is determined to be easy to process based on the recipe information, the thawing termination condition of the mutton is determined to be -2 degrees Celsius (℃, simply referred to as degrees) to 0℃ based on the usage scenario information, and the hardness of the mutton is 48 Newton (N, simply referred to as Newton) to 65N; during the thawing of the mutton, the temperature of the mutton is detected by using a temperature sensor, and the thawing is ended when the temperature reaches -2℃.

[0039] In some embodiments, the step S104 is followed by:

[0040] In step S105, a cooking parameter of the food material to be thawed is obtained based on the usage scenario information of the food material to be thawed.

[0041] Here, the control component of the thawing device can obtain the cooking parameter of the food material to be thawed; the cooking parameter includes but is not limited to cooking method, cooking start time, cooking end time, type of cooking food material, quantity of cooking food material, shape of cooked food material, taste of cooked food material, etc.

[0042] Taking the pork as an example, the use scene information is direct cooking, the control component of the thawing device acquires the cooking parameters of the pork according to the use scene, including: the cooking method is stew, the cooking start time is 11 o'clock in the morning, the cooking end time is 11:30 in the morning, the cooking material is pork, the cooking material quantity is half catty of pork, the cooking pork form is block, and the single pork block volume is between 2 cubic centimeters (cm 3 ) and 4 cm 3 , and the cooking material taste is slightly sweet.

[0043] Step S106, cooking the thawed food material based on the cooking parameters.

[0044] Here, the control component of the thawing device cooks the thawed food material according to the cooking parameters of the thawed food material.

[0045] In the embodiment of the application, the cooking parameters of the thawed food material are acquired, and the thawed food material is cooked according to the cooking parameters of the thawed food material, which can integrate thawing and cooking, save the operation of taking the thawed object out of the thawing cavity and putting it into the cooking cavity, improve user experience, and have practicality.

[0046] The embodiment of the application provides a thawing control method, as shown in Figure 2 , the method can be executed by the control component of the thawing device, including:

[0047] Step S201, in response to a thawing start instruction, acquiring use scene information of a thawed food material in a cooking cavity and starting thawing of the thawed food material; the use scene information of the thawed food material includes first use scene information or second use scene information.

[0048] Step S202, in the case that the use scene information of the thawed food material is the first use scene information, determining that the preset temperature is -2℃, and / or the preset hardness of the thawed food material is 65N; in the case that the use scene information of the thawed food material is the second use scene information, determining that the preset temperature is 0℃, and / or the preset hardness of the thawed food material is 30N.

[0049] Here, the first use scene information can be easy processing, and the second use scene information can be direct cooking.

[0050] Step S203, acquiring thawing process parameters in the process of thawing the thawed food material.

[0051] Here, the thawing process parameters can be the temperature of the thawed food material, or the hardness of the thawed food material, or the temperature of the thawed food material and the hardness of the thawed food material.

[0052] Step S204, when the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition, ending the thawing of the food material to be thawed.

[0053] When the control component of the thawing device monitors that the temperature of the food material to be thawed reaches the preset temperature, and / or the hardness of the food material to be thawed reaches the preset hardness, the thawing of the food material to be thawed is ended.

[0054] The thawing control method provided by the embodiments of the present application determines the thawing termination condition based on the first use scenario information and the second use scenario information, which is conducive to accurately monitoring and judging whether the state of the food material to be thawed meets different use scenarios, thereby meeting different needs of users and improving user experience.

[0055] The embodiments of the present application provide a thawing control method, as shown in Figure 3 The method can be executed by a control component of a thawing device, and includes:

[0056] Step S301, in response to a thawing start instruction, obtaining use scenario information of a food material to be thawed in a cooking cavity and starting the thawing of the food material to be thawed.

[0057] Step S302, determining a thawing termination condition of the food material to be thawed based on the use scenario information of the food material to be thawed.

[0058] Step S303, obtaining a thawing process parameter in the process of thawing the food material to be thawed.

[0059] Step S304, when the thawing process parameter meets a first preset condition, determining whether the food material to be thawed is cut.

[0060] In implementation, the first preset condition can be at least one of the following: a first temperature threshold, a first time length threshold, a first temperature range, and a first time length range. The specific values can also be determined according to actual conditions, for example, the first temperature threshold is -4℃, the first time length threshold is 10 minutes (min), the first temperature range is -4±4℃, and the first time length range is 10 min to 2 hours (h). Here, no limitation is made.

[0061] Step S305, after determining that the food material to be thawed is cut, continuing to thaw the cut food material to be thawed.

[0062] Step S306, when the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition, ending the thawing of the food material to be thawed.

[0063] Here, the steps S301 to S303 described above correspond to the steps S101 to S103 described above, and in implementation, the steps S101 to S103 can be implemented with reference to the implementation of the steps S101 to S103; the step S306 described above corresponds to the step S104 described above, and in implementation, the step S104 can be implemented with reference to the implementation of the step S104.

[0064] The thawing control method provided by the embodiment of the present application can determine whether the food material to be thawed is cut when the thawing process parameter meets the first preset condition, and continue to thaw the cut food material to be thawed after it is determined that the food material to be thawed is cut. In this way, in the first aspect, the food material to be thawed can no longer be repeatedly thawed and frozen, the original quality and taste of the thawed food material can be maintained, the breeding of bacteria can be reduced, and the food safety quality can be ensured; in the second aspect, the food material to be thawed is cut when it is not completely thawed, the food material to be thawed is easy to be shaped when it is cut, and the processing is facilitated; in the third aspect, the thawing efficiency is improved because the volume of the food material to be thawed is reduced after it is cut.

[0065] In daily life, users often directly freeze large pieces of food material, and then use it repeatedly for slow thawing, which has a great impact on the quality of the food material. For example, -2 to +2℃ is the phase change point of the food material thawing, and the longer the time in this stage, the greater the damage of the ice crystals between cells to the muscle tissue and cell membrane, and the greater the damage to the meat quality. Therefore, for food material that only needs to be partially thawed, the first preset condition can be set, the food material is cut when the thawing process parameter meets the first preset condition, and then thawed, which can avoid repeated thawing and reduce the impact on the quality of the food material. The cutting can be performed by the user when the thawing process parameter meets the first preset condition, or by the thawing equipment when the thawing process parameter meets the first preset condition, which is not limited here. The food material quantity of the food material to be thawed is reduced, the image information of the food material to be thawed is changed, and the volume of the food material to be thawed is changed, which can determine that the food material to be thawed is cut.

[0066] In step S304, the method for determining whether the food material to be thawed is cut can include two ways, wherein the first way can be realized by steps S31 to S33, wherein:

[0067] Step S31, when the thawing process parameter meets the first preset condition, determining a first food material quantity of the food material to be thawed. Here, the thawing device comprises a weighing assembly, and the first food material quantity of the food material to be thawed can be determined by the weighing assembly. For example, the first food material quantity of the food material to be thawed can be obtained by a gravity sensor. In practice, the selection can be made according to actual conditions, which is not limited herein. Step S32, when it is detected that the food material to be thawed is placed in, determining a second food material quantity of the food material to be thawed. Here, the user takes out the food material to be thawed from the cooking cavity, cuts it or cannot cut it because the food material to be thawed is too hard, and then places the cut food material to be thawed or the food material to be thawed without cutting in the cooking cavity. When it is detected that the food material to be thawed is placed in, the second food material quantity of the food material to be thawed is determined by the weighing assembly. Step S33, when the second food material quantity is less than the first food material quantity, determining that the food material to be thawed is cut. Here, when the second food material quantity is less than the first food material quantity, it indicates that the user has cut the food material to be thawed. The tool used for cutting can be a knife or other tools or devices that can cut the food material to be thawed.

[0068] The second method can be implemented by steps S34 to S36.

[0069] Step S34, when the thawing process parameter meets the first preset condition, obtaining a first image of the food material to be thawed. Here, the first image or the second image of the food material to be thawed can be obtained by an image acquisition device such as a camera, which is not limited herein. Step S35, when it is detected that the food material to be thawed is placed in, obtaining a second image of the food material to be thawed. Here, as in step S32, the food material to be thawed placed in can be the cut food material to be thawed or the food material to be thawed without cutting. Step S36, comparing the image texture of the food material to be thawed in the first image and the second image to determine whether the food material to be thawed is cut.

[0070] Here, the first image and the second image can be preprocessed and feature extracted, and the texture of the food material to be thawed in the first image and the second image can be analyzed respectively, and the image texture of the food material to be thawed in the first image and the second image can be compared. If the image texture of the two is different, it indicates that the food material to be thawed is cut; if the image texture of the two is the same or the difference is very subtle, it indicates that the food material to be thawed is not cut.

[0071] In some embodiments, step S36 can also be comparing the pixel information of the food material to be thawed in the first image and the second image to obtain the cutting state information, that is, the cutting state information is obtained by analyzing the pixel information.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the thawing process parameters meet the first preset condition, the method further includes: step 304a, obtaining cutting parameters of the food to be thawed; the cutting parameters are set or determined based on the attribute information of the food to be thawed.

[0073] Here, the thawing device may also include user interaction components such as a control panel, an audio and video acquisition component, etc. The cutting parameters may be set by the user on the user interaction component according to actual needs. For example, they may be input through the control panel of the thawing device or through a remote control terminal. The cutting parameters may also be determined by the control component based on the attribute information of the food to be thawed. During implementation, the cutting parameters may be determined according to actual needs and are not limited here. For example, the cutting parameters may include at least one of the following: the size, volume, thickness of the slices, the total amount of food required, the shape of the cuts, the number of cuts, and the position of the cuts; for another example, the cutting parameters may also be determined based on a recipe; the attribute information may include at least one of the following: the type, purpose, volume, quality, hardness, etc. of the food to be thawed.

[0074] For example, if a user wants to fry beef steak, they can enter the cutting parameters on their phone: 1-2 cm thick slices, a steak weighing between 250 and 500 grams, and a total of five slices. The thawing device will then receive the user's input cutting parameters and cut the steak accordingly. For another example, if a user wants beef rolls for hot pot, they can enter the cutting parameters on the thawing device's control panel: slices with a thickness of 2 mm and a total weight of 250 grams. The thawing device will then receive the user's input cutting parameters and cut the beef rolls accordingly.

[0075] Step 304b: cutting the food to be thawed based on the cutting parameters of the food to be thawed.

[0076] Here, the thawing device may further include a cutting assembly, which can be used to cut the food to be thawed. The cutting assembly can be a knife, a cutting wire, etc., which is not limited here. During implementation, the cutting assembly can move up and down, left and right, and rotate in the cooking chamber to cut the thawed food.

[0077] The thawing control method provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the cutting parameters of the food to be thawed when the thawing process parameters meet the first preset condition, and cuts the food to be thawed based on the cutting parameters of the food to be thawed. In this way, automatic thawing and automatic cutting of the food to be thawed can be achieved, reducing the need for users to manually operate the thawing process, solving the problem of users having difficulty cutting the food to be thawed, and providing users with a better user experience and greater practicality.

[0078] In some embodiments, step S306 is followed by further comprising:

[0079] Step S307, obtaining a cooking parameter of the food material to be thawed based on the usage scenario information of the food material to be thawed.

[0080] Step S308, cooking the food material to be thawed based on the cooking parameter.

[0081] Embodiments of the present application provide a thawing control method, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the method can be executed by a control component of a thawing device, comprising: Figure 4a

[0082] Step S401, a user selects a function according to a requirement;

[0083] Here, the user selects a function according to a usage scenario requirement through a control panel or a terminal of the thawing device, and the thawing device can obtain usage scenario information of a food material to be thawed in a cooking cavity from the control panel or the terminal.

[0084] Step S402, determining a thawing end point;

[0085] Here, a thawing termination condition of the food material to be thawed can be determined based on the usage scenario information of the food material to be thawed.

[0086] Step S403, starting a thawing program;

[0087] In response to a thawing start instruction, the thawing device is started to begin thawing the food material to be thawed.

[0088] Step S404, monitoring the thawing end point;

[0089] Here, in the process of thawing the food material to be thawed, the control component of the thawing device obtains a thawing process parameter from the detection component.

[0090] Step S405, judging whether the thawing end point is reached;

[0091] Step S406, stopping the thawing program in the case where the thawing end point is reached.

[0092] Here, the control component of the thawing device judges whether the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition, and ends the thawing of the food material to be thawed when the thawing process parameter meets the thawing termination condition; otherwise, step S404 and step S405 are continuously executed.

[0093] ​In some embodiments, the center temperature of the food material to be thawed can be used as an index to monitor the thawing endpoint, and an infrared temperature measurement, a temperature sensor or the like component can be used to detect the center temperature of the food material to be thawed. When the temperature is greater than 0°C and the temperature change rate is greater than 1°C / min, it is judged that the thawing endpoint has not been reached. When the temperature is greater than 0°C and the temperature change rate is in the range of 0.5°C / min to 1°C / min, it is judged that the thawing endpoint of the food material to be thawed meets the requirement of the easy processing scenario. When the temperature is greater than 0°C and the change rate is less than 0.3°C / min, it is judged that the thawing endpoint of the food material to be thawed meets the requirement of the direct cooking scenario.

[0094] Based on the above method, an embodiment of the present application provides a thawing device, as shown in Figure 4b The device includes: a cooking cavity 410 for containing the food material to be thawed 440;

[0095] A thawing assembly 420 is configured to thaw the food material to be thawed 440 in the cooking cavity 410.

[0096] A temperature measurement assembly 430 is configured to detect the temperature at the center of the food material to be thawed 440.

[0097] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 4b The device further includes a shelf 450 for placing the food material to be thawed 440.

[0098] In some embodiments, the temperature measurement assembly can be an infrared temperature measurement assembly or a temperature sensor. The infrared temperature measurement assembly can be located at the top of the cooking cavity, and the temperature sensor can be located on the shelf.
