Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical control technology, and in particular to a cooking device and its control method, apparatus and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Steam ovens combine steaming, baking, roasting, and frying functions into one device, achieving multiple uses in one appliance. They can replace ovens, steamers, and air fryers, without taking up extra kitchen space. Therefore, steam ovens are becoming increasingly popular among users.

[0003] However, existing cooking equipment, especially steam ovens and fryers, in steam mode, use an internal steam generator to heat the cavity based on the difference between the real-time cavity temperature and the set temperature. When the cooking equipment is opened and closed again to continue working, the temperature inside the cavity is lost. Therefore, the steam generator continues to heat the cavity, and the amount of steam inside the cavity cannot be quickly restored to the amount of steam before the door was opened, which affects the cooking effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a cooking device and its control method, apparatus and storage medium to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, quickly restore the amount of steam in the cavity after the door is opened and closed during the cooking process, and improve the cooking effect.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling a cooking device, comprising:

[0006] When the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the door status of the cooking device is acquired in real time.

[0007] Based on the state of the hatch, determine whether the hatch of the cooking equipment is open;

[0008] If so, when the door of the cooking device is closed, obtain the set temperature of the cooking device in the current steaming mode;

[0009] The cooking device is controlled to operate in full-power mode for the duration specified by the set temperature; the full-power mode is to operate continuously at a preset power.

[0010] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for the specified time based on the set temperature includes:

[0011] Determine whether the set temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature;

[0012] If so, determine whether the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature;

[0013] If so, the cooking device is controlled to operate continuously at the preset power for a time t1.

[0014] Where t1=(ρ*V) / (M*P); ρ is the density of steam in the cooking device, V is the volume of the cooking device, P is the preset power, and M is the mass of steam generated per unit time when the cooking device consumes a unit of power.

[0015] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for the specified time based on the set temperature further includes:

[0016] If the set temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, then determine whether the set temperature is less than or equal to the third preset temperature;

[0017] If so, the cooking device is controlled to operate continuously at the preset power for a time t2; where t2 = k1 * t1; k1 is a positive integer.

[0018] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for the specified time based on the set temperature further includes:

[0019] If the set temperature is greater than the third preset temperature, the cooking device is controlled to work continuously at the preset power for a time t3; where t3 = k2 * t1; k2 is greater than k1, and k2 is a positive integer.

[0020] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for the specified time based on the set temperature further includes:

[0021] If the set temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the cooking device is controlled to work according to the steaming mode; wherein, t1 is greater than or equal to the working cycle of the cooking device working according to the steaming mode.

[0022] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for the specified time based on the set temperature includes:

[0023] The humidity inside the cooking equipment when the door of the cooking equipment is opened is used as the preset humidity;

[0024] Based on the set temperature, the time during which the cooking device operates in full-power mode is determined as the full-power operating time.

[0025] When the cooking device is operating in full power mode, the current humidity inside the cooking device and the current operating time of the cooking device are acquired in real time.

[0026] Determine whether the current working time is greater than or equal to the full-power working time;

[0027] If so, determine whether the current humidity is less than the preset humidity;

[0028] If so, the cooking device is controlled to continue operating in the full-power mode.

[0029] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for the specified time based on the set temperature further includes:

[0030] When the current working time is greater than or equal to the full-power working time, if the current humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the cooking device is controlled to operate according to the steaming mode.

[0031] Optionally, before obtaining the set temperature of the cooking device in the current steaming mode when the door of the cooking device is closed, the method further includes:

[0032] Based on the door status, obtain the interval time from when the door of the cooking device opens to when it closes;

[0033] Determine whether the interval time is greater than or equal to a preset time;

[0034] If so, then the step of obtaining the set temperature of the cooking device in the current steaming mode when the door of the cooking device is closed is performed.

[0035] Optionally, the control method for the cooking equipment further includes:

[0036] If the interval is less than the preset time, the cooking device is controlled to operate according to the steaming mode.

[0037] Optionally, controlling the cooking device to operate according to the steaming mode includes:

[0038] Real-time acquisition of the current temperature inside the cooking equipment;

[0039] Determine whether the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to a first preset difference;

[0040] If so, the duty cycle of the cooking device operating at the preset power is controlled based on the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature.

[0041] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a control device for a cooking apparatus, comprising:

[0042] The door status acquisition module is used to acquire the door status of the cooking device in real time when the cooking device is working in steam mode.

[0043] The door status determination module is used to determine whether the door of the cooking equipment is open based on the door status.

[0044] A temperature acquisition module is configured to acquire the set temperature of the cooking device in the current steaming mode when the door of the cooking device is closed, if it is determined from the door status that the door of the cooking device is open.

[0045] The working mode control module is used to control the cooking device to work in full power mode for a certain period of time according to the set temperature; the full power mode is to work continuously at a preset power.

[0046] Thirdly, the present invention provides a cooking device, comprising: a frame, a door, and a controller;

[0047] One side of the frame is movably connected to one side of the hatch via a drive mechanism;

[0048] The controller is used to execute the control method of the cooking equipment described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0049] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the control method of the cooking apparatus described in any of the preceding claims.

[0050] The technical solution of this invention obtains the status of the cooking device's door in real time when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, thereby determining whether the door is open. If the door is open, the set temperature in the current steam mode is obtained when the door is closed. Based on the set temperature, the cooking device is controlled to operate in full power mode for a certain period of time. In this way, the amount of steam in the cooking device cavity can be quickly restored after the door is opened and closed when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, thereby ensuring the cooking effect and improving user satisfaction with the cooking device. Meanwhile, the specific duration of full-power operation of the cooking equipment, based on the set temperature, can be determined by setting a corresponding full-power mode duration according to the temperature range to which the set temperature falls. Specifically, when the set temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the cooking equipment operates in full-power mode for a shorter time to quickly restore steam. When the set temperature is greater than the second preset temperature and less than or equal to the third preset temperature, the cooking equipment operates in full-power mode for a longer time to achieve rapid steam restoration. Furthermore, when the set temperature is further greater than the third preset temperature, the cooking equipment can operate in full-power mode for an even longer period to ensure rapid steam restoration at that set temperature. In addition, when the cooking equipment is operating in full-power mode, the humidity within the equipment and the operating time can be considered to determine whether the full-power mode duration needs to be extended to ensure accurate and rapid steam restoration, further improving the operational stability of the cooking equipment and ultimately enhancing the quality of the food cooked using this equipment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] This invention provides a control method for a cooking device, applicable to the rapid recovery of steam volume in the cavity after the door is opened and closed during the operation of the cooking device in steam mode. This control method can be executed by the control device of the cooking device provided in this invention. The control device of the cooking device is implemented in hardware and / or software and can be integrated into the controller of the cooking device. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cooking device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. (See reference...) Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the cooking device includes:

[0063] S110. When the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, the status of the cooking equipment door is obtained in real time.

[0064] The cooking equipment may include, but is not limited to, steam ovens and steam-grill-fryer combos. The steam mode can refer to the cooking mode of the cooking equipment that uses steam. The door status of the cooking equipment generally includes an open state and a closed state, which can be obtained through corresponding sensors (such as motion sensors).

[0065] S120. Determine whether the door of the cooking equipment is open based on the door status; if so, proceed to S130.

[0066] Specifically, when the cooking equipment is working in steam mode, the status of the door is monitored in real time. When the door is closed, it means that the door of the cooking equipment is not open. When the door status changes from closed to open, it means that the door of the cooking equipment is open.

[0067] S130. When the door of the cooking equipment is closed, obtain the set temperature of the cooking equipment in the current steam mode.

[0068] In this embodiment, the set temperature in the current steam mode of the cooking device can be the maximum temperature set by the user during the cooking process according to their cooking needs. The set temperature can be set by the user's voice input, through the control panel of the cooking device, or through the user terminal, etc. This embodiment does not limit the set temperature setting method. In one exemplary embodiment, the set temperature can be 80°C, and in another exemplary embodiment, the set temperature can also be 98°C. This embodiment does not limit the specific value of the set temperature.

[0069] S140. Control the cooking equipment to operate in full power mode for the set temperature.

[0070] The full-power mode operates continuously at a preset power. The preset power can be the rated operating power of the evaporator in the cooking appliance.

[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, if the user needs to open the door of the cooking device to add seasonings while the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the door state can be switched from closed to open by the corresponding sensor, thus determining that the cooking device door is open. When the user finishes adding the seasonings and closes the door, the door will be closed again so that the cooking device can continue to work. If the door state is switched from open to closed again by the corresponding sensor, the set temperature of the current steam mode of the cooking device can be obtained, and the cooking device can be controlled to operate in full power mode for the time according to the set temperature.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the status of the cooking device's door is acquired in real time to determine whether the door is open. If the door is open, the set temperature in the current steam mode is acquired when the door is closed. Based on the set temperature, the cooking device is controlled to operate in full power mode for the specified time. In this way, when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the amount of steam in the cooking device cavity can be quickly restored after the door is opened and closed, thereby ensuring the cooking effect and improving user satisfaction with the cooking device.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cooking device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further adds a step on how to control the cooking device to operate in full-power mode for a specified period. (See reference...) Figure 2 As shown, the control method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0075] S210. When the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, the status of the cooking equipment door is obtained in real time.

[0076] S220. Determine whether the door of the cooking equipment is open based on the door status; if so, proceed to S230.

[0077] S230. When the door of the cooking equipment is closed, obtain the set temperature of the cooking equipment in the current steam mode.

[0078] S240. Determine whether the set temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature; if not, execute S250; if yes, execute S260.

[0079] The first preset temperature can be a pre-set threshold temperature that allows the cooking device to operate at full power. When the set temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the temperature change inside the cavity is small after the user opens and closes the door, and the amount of steam inside the cavity changes little before and after opening and closing the door, thus eliminating the need to control the cooking device to operate at full power. Conversely, when the set temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the temperature change inside the cavity is larger after the user opens and closes the door, and the amount of steam inside the cavity changes significantly before and after opening and closing the door. Therefore, it is necessary to control the cooking device to operate at full power for a certain period of time to rapidly increase the amount of steam inside the cavity and improve the cooking effect. In an exemplary embodiment, the first preset temperature can be 90°C.

[0080] S250: Controls the cooking equipment to operate according to the steaming mode.

[0081] In one optional embodiment, controlling the cooking device to operate according to the steaming mode includes: acquiring the current temperature inside the cooking device in real time; determining whether the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to a first preset difference; if so, controlling the duty cycle of the cooking device to operate at a preset power according to the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature.

[0082] The first preset difference can be a threshold difference between the current temperature and the set temperature. For example, when the set temperature is 85℃, the first preset difference can be 3℃. The duty cycle for controlling the cooking device to operate at a preset power can refer to the proportion of the time during which the cooking device operates at a preset power within a working cycle.

[0083] Specifically, when the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature inside the cooking device is less than or equal to the first preset difference, the duty cycle of the cooking device is controlled to operate at a preset power to maintain the optimal amount of steam inside the cooking device, thereby ensuring the cooking effect of the steaming mode; when the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature inside the cooking device is large, the cooking device can be controlled to continue heating at a preset power until the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature inside the cooking device is less than or equal to the first preset difference.

[0084] For example, when the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature in the cooking device is less than or equal to a first preset difference and the difference is small, the duty cycle of the cooking device operating at a preset power can be small. Conversely, when the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature in the cooking device is less than or equal to the first preset difference and the difference is large, the duty cycle of the cooking device operating at a preset power can be large.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, the duty cycle of the cooking device operating at a preset power can also be controlled according to the rate of temperature rise within the cooking device. For example, when the rate of temperature rise within the cooking device is slow, the duty cycle of the cooking device operating at the preset power can be controlled to be larger to accelerate the rate of temperature rise within the cooking device; when the rate of temperature rise within the cooking device is fast, the duty cycle of the cooking device operating at the preset power can be controlled to be smaller, thereby avoiding excessive steam generation by the cooking device from affecting the cooking effect.

[0086] S260. Determine whether the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature; if yes, execute S270; if no, execute S280.

[0087] The second preset temperature can be a pre-set temperature value, and the second preset temperature can be greater than the first preset temperature. In an exemplary embodiment, the second preset temperature can be 95°C.

[0088] S270, Control the cooking equipment to operate continuously at a preset power for a time t1.

[0089] Where t1 = (ρ*V) / (M*P); ρ is the density of steam in the cooking equipment, V is the volume of the cooking equipment, P is the preset power, and M is the mass of steam generated per unit time when the cooking equipment consumes a unit of power; t1 is greater than or equal to the working cycle of the cooking equipment according to the steaming mode.

[0090] It is understood that the steam in the cooking equipment is generated by its evaporator, and the preset power P can be the rated power of the evaporator in the cooking equipment; M can be determined according to the power of the evaporator of the cooking equipment. If the relationship between the power of the evaporator and the mass of steam is 1T / h = 720kw, that is, when the power of the cooking equipment is 720kw, the mass of steam that can be generated per hour is 1T, then when the power of the evaporator is 1kw, the mass of steam M generated per unit power per unit time can be 0.00039kg / (s*kw); in other exemplary embodiments, when the units of time and the units of evaporator power change, the value of M will change adaptively, and can be converted according to the actual needs using the corresponding physical conversion formula. This embodiment of the invention does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, if the density ρ of steam in the cooking appliance is 0.6 m³ / s... 3 / kg, the volume V of the cooking equipment is 40L, the preset power P is 1000W, and the mass of steam M produced per unit power consumed by the evaporator per unit time is 0.00039kg / (s*kw), then t1=(0.6m 3 ( / kg*40L) / (0.00039kg / s*1000W / 1kw)=61s≈1min.

[0092] S280. Determine whether the set temperature is less than or equal to the third preset temperature; if yes, execute S290; if no, execute S2100.

[0093] The third preset temperature can be a pre-set temperature value, and the third preset temperature can be greater than the second preset temperature. In an exemplary embodiment, the third preset temperature can be 98°C.

[0094] S290, Control the cooking equipment to operate continuously at a preset power for a time t2.

[0095] Where t2 = k1 * t1; k1 is a positive integer. In an exemplary embodiment, k1 = 2, then t2 = 2t1.

[0096] S2100, controls the cooking equipment to operate continuously at a preset power for a time t3.

[0097] Where t3 = k2 * t1; k2 is greater than k1, and k2 is a positive integer. In an exemplary embodiment, k2 = 3, t3 = 3t1.

[0098] Specifically, when the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, after the user opens and closes the door of the cooking equipment, if the set temperature in the current steam mode is lower than the first preset temperature, the cooking equipment will continue to operate according to the steam mode. That is, if the steam mode is heating in a duty cycle manner at the moment the door is opened, the evaporator of the cooking equipment will continue to heat in a duty cycle manner after the door is closed; or, if the steam mode is heating continuously at a preset power at the moment the door is opened, the cooking equipment will continue to heat continuously at the preset power after the door is closed. If the set temperature in the current steam mode is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the cooking equipment will continue to operate at the preset power for time t1. If the set temperature in the current steam mode is greater than the second preset temperature and less than or equal to the third preset temperature, the cooking equipment will continue to operate at the preset power for time t2. If the set temperature in the current steam mode is greater than the third preset temperature, the cooking equipment will continue to operate at the preset power for time t3. After the cooking equipment finishes operating at the preset power, it can be controlled to continue operating in steam mode. This ensures that the cooking effect is not affected by steam escaping due to opening the door midway through the steaming process. At the same time, it ensures that the temperature inside the cooking equipment does not exceed the set temperature excessively, further improving the cooking effect.

[0099] For example, the density of steam in the cooking appliance is ρ = 0.6 m³. 3 For example, given a cooking appliance with a volume V = 40L, a preset power P = 1000W, and three preset temperatures of 90℃, 95℃, and 98℃, if the user opens and closes the appliance door, and the current set temperature is below 90℃, the appliance will operate in steam mode. If the set temperature in steam mode is between 90℃ and 95℃, the appliance will operate at the preset power for 1 minute. If the set temperature in steam mode is between 95℃ and 98℃, the appliance will operate at the preset power for 2 minutes. If the set temperature in steam mode is above 98℃, the appliance will operate at the preset power for 3 minutes. After operating at the preset power, the appliance will resume operation in steam mode.

[0100] In this embodiment, when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, if the set temperature in the current steam mode is lower than the first preset temperature after the user opens and closes the door, the cooking device is controlled to operate according to the steam mode. If the set temperature in the current steam mode is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, but less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the cooking device is controlled to operate at a preset power for a duration of t1. If the set temperature in the current steam mode is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, greater than the second preset temperature, and less than or equal to the third preset temperature, the cooking device is controlled to operate at a preset power for a duration of t2. If the set temperature in the current steam mode is greater than the third preset temperature, the cooking device is controlled to operate at a preset power for a duration of t3. This ensures that the amount of steam inside the cooking device can rise rapidly after the door is opened and closed during the steaming process, preventing steam from escaping due to midway opening of the door and affecting the cooking effect, thus improving user satisfaction.

[0101] Example 3

[0102] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cooking device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further adds a step of controlling the operating time of the cooking device in full-mode based on the humidity within the cooking device. (See reference...) Figure 3 As shown, the control method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0103] S310. When the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, the status of the cooking equipment door is obtained in real time.

[0104] S320. Determine whether the door of the cooking equipment is open based on the door status; if so, proceed with S330.

[0105] S330: When the door of the cooking equipment is closed, obtain the set temperature of the current steaming mode of the cooking equipment.

[0106] S340: Obtain the humidity inside the cooking appliance when the door of the cooking appliance is opened as the preset humidity.

[0107] When the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, the humidity inside the cooking equipment can be acquired in real time. The humidity inside the cooking equipment when the door is opened is the humidity acquired last time before the door was opened, and this last acquired humidity can be used as the preset humidity.

[0108] S350: Based on the set temperature, determine the time during which the cooking equipment operates in full-power mode as the full-power operating time.

[0109] Specifically, if the set temperature in the current steam mode of the cooking device determines the time the cooking device operates at full power mode as t1, then the full power operation time is t1; correspondingly, if the set temperature in the current steam mode of the cooking device determines the time the cooking device operates at full power mode as t2, then the full power operation time is t2; if the set temperature in the current steam mode of the cooking device determines the time the cooking device operates at full power mode as t3, then the full power operation time is t3.

[0110] S360: When the cooking equipment is operating in full power mode, the current humidity inside the cooking equipment and the current operating time of the cooking equipment are obtained in real time.

[0111] S370. Determine whether the current working time is greater than or equal to the full power working time; if so, execute S380.

[0112] S380. Determine if the current humidity is lower than the preset humidity; if yes, proceed to S390; if no, proceed to S3100.

[0113] S390, Control the cooking equipment to continue operating in full power mode.

[0114] S3100 controls the cooking equipment to operate according to the steaming mode.

[0115] Specifically, when the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, if the door of the cooking equipment is opened and then closed, the set temperature of the current steam mode is obtained, and the humidity inside the cooking equipment at the moment the door opens is obtained as the preset humidity. Based on the set temperature, the time for the cooking equipment to operate in full-power mode is determined as the full-power operating time. After the door of the cooking equipment is closed, the time for the cooking equipment to operate at the preset power can be timed. If the timed time (i.e., the current operating time) is greater than or equal to the full-power operating time, the cooking equipment can continue to operate at the preset power based on the current humidity level inside the cooking equipment. If the current humidity is less than the preset humidity, the cooking equipment is controlled to continue operating in full-power mode. If the current operating time is greater than or equal to the full-power operating time, and the current humidity is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, the cooking equipment is controlled to continue operating according to the progress of the steam mode.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the cooking device is working in steam mode, after the user opens and closes the door of the cooking device in sequence, the set temperature of the current steam mode of the cooking device is obtained, and the humidity inside the cooking device when the door is opened is obtained as the preset humidity. Based on the set temperature and preset humidity, the time for the cooking device to work in full power mode is determined so that the amount of steam inside the cooking device can quickly reach the amount of steam before the door is opened, ensuring cooking quality and improving customer satisfaction.

[0117] Example 4

[0118] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a cooking device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further adds a step of determining the operating mode of the cooking device based on the interval between the opening and closing of the cooking device's door. (See reference...) Figure 4 As shown, the control method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0119] S410. When the cooking equipment is operating in steam mode, the status of the cooking equipment door is obtained in real time.

[0120] S420. Determine whether the door of the cooking equipment is open based on the door status; if so, proceed to S130.

[0121] S430. Based on the door status, obtain the interval between when the cooking equipment door opens and when it closes.

[0122] S440. Determine whether the interval time is greater than or equal to the preset time; if yes, execute S450; if no, execute S460.

[0123] The preset time can be a pre-defined time value. When the interval between the opening and closing of the cooking appliance door is less than the preset time, less steam is released from the cooking appliance due to the short interval. Therefore, it is not necessary to control the cooking appliance to work in full-power mode to ensure cooking quality. When the interval between the opening and closing of the cooking appliance door is greater than or equal to the preset time, more steam is released from the cooking appliance due to the long interval. If the cooking continues to operate according to the steam mode, the steam volume cannot quickly recover to the amount of steam before the door was opened, thus affecting the cooking quality. For example, the preset time can be 1 minute.

[0124] S450: When the door of the cooking appliance is closed, obtain the set temperature of the current steaming mode of the cooking appliance.

[0125] S460: Controls the cooking equipment to operate according to the steaming mode.

[0126] S470: Controls the cooking equipment to operate in full-power mode for the set temperature.

[0127] The full power mode operates continuously at a preset power level.

[0128] Specifically, when the cooking equipment is working in steam mode, the interval between the opening and closing of the door is obtained based on the door status. If the interval is less than the preset time, the cooking equipment is controlled to continue working according to the working progress of the steam mode. If the interval is greater than or equal to the preset time, the set temperature of the current steam mode is obtained, and the cooking equipment is controlled to work in full power mode for a certain period of time based on the set temperature, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the cooking equipment while ensuring the cooking effect.

[0129] In this embodiment, when the cooking device is operating in steam mode, the interval between the opening and closing of the door is obtained based on the door status. If the interval is less than a preset time, the cooking device is controlled to operate in steam mode. If the interval is greater than or equal to the preset time, the set temperature in the current steam mode is obtained, and the cooking device is controlled to operate in full-power mode based on the set temperature. Thus, when the interval between the opening and closing of the door is short, the cooking device continues to operate in steam mode; when the interval is long, the cooking device is controlled to operate in full-power mode based on the set temperature in the current steam mode. This ensures cooking effectiveness while reducing energy consumption and lowering the cost for users.
