The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present application.

[0027] In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the application. It will be apparent to one ordinarily skilled in the art that the application can be practiced without the specific details presented. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated upon in order to avoid unnecessary detail, which can obscure the description of the application. Accordingly, the present application is not intended to be limited by the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0028] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a liquid management method, which can be applied to a cooking device to effectively manage the liquid in the liquid box of the cooking device, reduce the cleaning frequency of the user and improve the timeliness of the liquid cleaning prompt. The management method includes S10-S30. Here, the cooking device can generate liquid during cooking, and the liquid is collected by setting a liquid box. The cooking device can include a cooking body and a liquid box, the cooking body can directly cook the cooking materials, and the liquid box can collect the liquid.

[0029] S10: Obtain the current opening cover number N of the cooking device.

[0030] Obtain the current opening cover number N of the cooking device. After the cooking device completes a cooking task, the opening cover number N is increased by 1 with the opening of the pot cover, and the value corresponding to the opening cover number N at this time is obtained, so as to subsequently determine whether the current value of the opening cover number N reaches the preset opening cover number threshold. Once opening operation corresponds to the update of the opening cover number N, and the opening operation refers to the operation of the user to the cooking device after the cooking device completes a cooking task. After the cooking task is completed, whether the cooking device is opened is detected, and after the opening operation of the cooking device is detected, the opening cover number corresponding to this opening operation can be determined.

[0031] S20: Determine whether the current opening cover number N of the cooking device reaches the preset opening cover number threshold.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, it is determined whether the current opening cover number N of the cooking device reaches the preset opening cover number threshold, if yes, step S30 is executed; if no, step S10 is executed.

[0033] After obtaining the opening frequency threshold N, the opening frequency threshold N is compared with a preset opening frequency threshold to determine whether the opening frequency N has reached the preset opening frequency threshold. If the opening frequency N has not reached the preset opening frequency threshold, it indicates that there is no risk of overflow in the liquid collection box, and the liquid collection box has space to continue collecting liquid. The preset opening frequency threshold is a critical value set for the opening frequency N. When the opening frequency N reaches the preset opening frequency threshold, it indicates that the amount of liquid in the liquid collection box of the cooking device has reached the liquid volume threshold. The preset opening frequency threshold represents the number of cooking cycles and can be estimated and set based on experimental data. For example, in one embodiment of this application, the preset opening frequency threshold can be set to 25, indicating that when the opening frequency N = 25, the amount of liquid in the liquid collection box has reached the liquid volume threshold, and the liquid collection box needs to be cleaned. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the preset opening frequency threshold can be set to other values ​​according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this. When the number of times the lid is opened (N) is less than a preset threshold, it indicates that the amount of liquid in the liquid collection box of the cooking device has not yet reached the threshold, and the collection box can still hold the liquid generated from a single cooking session. By using the preset threshold for the number of times the lid is opened to determine whether the amount of liquid in the collection box has reached the threshold, it is possible to determine whether the collection box needs to be cleaned, thus reducing the probability of false positives.

[0034] S30: In response to determining that the current number of times the lid of the cooking device is opened N has reached the preset number of times the lid is opened threshold, the liquid collection box is processed.

[0035] When the number of times the lid is opened (N) reaches a preset threshold, it indicates that the current liquid level in the liquid collection box has reached the threshold. The remaining space in the box is completely insufficient to hold any more liquid, or to hold any liquid generated after the cooking equipment has been opened once. At this point, the liquid in the box needs to be emptied to prevent overflow. A prompt message is issued to remind the user to clean the liquid, preventing overflow and spillage due to untimely emptying, and ensuring the cleanliness of the cooking equipment and surrounding environment. The prompt message may include, but is not limited to, voice prompts, display screen messages, and LED light messages; this embodiment does not specifically limit the types of prompts.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the current liquid volume in the liquid collection box can be indirectly calculated based on the number of times the cooking appliance lid is opened (N). In one embodiment of this application, S10 may include S11 to S17.

[0037] S11: Determine whether the lid of the cooking device is closed.

[0038] Before acquiring the temperature in the pot body of the cooking device, it is necessary to determine whether the pot cover of the cooking device is closed. In the case where it is determined that the pot cover has been closed, the temperature in the pot body is detected, so as to avoid calculation error of the liquid accumulation amount.

[0039] S12: In response to determining that the pot cover of the cooking device is closed, a temperature parameter in the pot body of the cooking device is acquired.

[0040] The temperature parameter refers to the temperature value in the pot body after the cooking device starts a cooking task. The temperature value changes with the change of heating time and heating power. The preset temperature interval refers to a preset temperature range, which is a standard for determining whether the timer starts timing. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the preset temperature interval can be 80-140 DEG C. In other embodiments, the preset temperature interval can be set to other temperature ranges. The specific value range of the preset temperature interval can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. With the increase of the execution time of the cooking task, the temperature in the pot body of the cooking device first increases and then decreases, or changes with the operation of the user.

[0041] S13: Determine whether the temperature parameter is in a preset temperature interval.

[0042] When it is determined that the pot cover of the cooking device is closed, the temperature in the pot body of the cooking device is acquired by the temperature sensor, and the temperature value is judged, that is, the current temperature parameter in the pot body of the cooking device is determined, and then it is detected whether the current temperature parameter in the pot body of the cooking device is in the preset temperature interval, so as to decide whether the timer performs timing according to the temperature parameter subsequently.

[0043] S14: In response to the temperature parameter being in the preset temperature interval, the timer starts timing.

[0044] When it is detected that the temperature in the pot body of the cooking device is in the preset temperature interval, it is represented that the water vapor in the pot body of the cooking device starts to generate in large amount, and the water droplets are condensed on the pot cover. At this time, the timer starts timing. When the temperature in the pot body of the cooking device is lower than the minimum value of the preset temperature interval or higher than the maximum value of the preset temperature interval, the timer stops timing.

[0045] S15: Determine whether the timer reaches a preset time threshold.

[0046] The preset time threshold refers to a timer timing threshold set in advance based on experimental data. When the timer reaches the preset time threshold, it indicates that the amount of accumulated liquid generated due to the cooking task of the cooking device has reached the maximum value. The preset time threshold can be 30s, 60s, 90s, etc. When the temperature in the cooking device pot is detected to be in the preset temperature range, the timer starts timing, and when the preset time threshold is reached, it indicates that a cooking task has been completed, and the cooking device cover can be opened.

[0047] S16: In the case where the timer reaches the preset time threshold, the cover opening number N is incremented by 1 in response to the cover opening operation, wherein N starts from 1 and N is a positive integer.

[0048] The cover opening operation refers to the operation of opening the pot cover after the cooking task is completed. When the pot cover is opened, the water droplets condensed on the pot cover flow from the pot cover into the accumulated liquid box. When the timer reaches the preset time threshold, it indicates that a cooking task is completed, and the pot cover can be opened at this time, and the cover opening number N is incremented by 1.

[0049] Before the first cooking or after the accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box is cleaned, there is no accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box. After the first cooking task is completed, the cover opening number N = 1. After each subsequent cover opening operation, the corresponding cover opening number N is incremented by 1.

[0050] S17: In response to the cover opening number N reaching the preset cover opening number threshold, it is determined that the current accumulated liquid amount of the accumulated liquid box reaches the accumulated liquid amount threshold.

[0051] When the cover opening number N is equal to the preset cover opening number threshold, it can be considered that the remaining space of the accumulated liquid box cannot accommodate any accumulated liquid or cannot accommodate the accumulated liquid generated by a single cooking, and the accumulated liquid box needs to be processed to achieve the purpose of emptying the accumulated liquid box, otherwise there will be a risk of overflow.

[0052] The current accumulated liquid amount of the accumulated liquid box can be calculated according to the cover opening number N. Since the amount of accumulated liquid condensed on the pot cover of the cooking device has reached the maximum value during each cover opening operation, a fixed value W can be obtained through experimental verification, and therefore when calculating the current accumulated liquid amount of the accumulated liquid box, the calculation method is to multiply the cover opening number N by the fixed value W to obtain the current accumulated liquid amount loaded in the accumulated liquid box.

[0053] An alternative experimental method is to set different heating times, different heating levels, and record the amount of effusion data generated after each time the cover is opened. Table 1 is an experimental data table provided in this embodiment, which is used to represent the average value of effusion generated after setting the heating time and heating level. After multiple experiments, the average value of effusion generated by one opening corresponding to the heating time and heating level is obtained. The amount of effusion generated by one opening is recorded for the same heating time, and the average value of multiple experiments is obtained by recording the average value of multiple experiments, that is, the average value of effusion generated by one opening. From the experimental data in Table 1, the amount of effusion increases with the increase of heating time and heating level. Limited by the area of the cooking equipment pot cover, the weight of the effusion itself and other factors, with the increase of the heating level and the heating time, the amount of water loaded in the pot body is sufficient to ensure the boiling time, and the amount of effusion generated by one opening will reach a maximum value and be stable around the value. The maximum value obtained at this time is the fixed value W.

[0054]

[0055] Table 1

[0056] S11-S17 calculate the amount of effusion currently loaded in the effusion box by determining the number of cover openings N, without adding a sensor for detecting the amount of effusion, reducing the cost and having a high cost performance, simplifying the design of the structure around the effusion box, making the appearance of the cooking equipment more beautiful, and at the same time realizing more accurate measurement of the amount of effusion loaded in the effusion box.

[0057] In addition, when the number of cover openings N is less than the preset number of cover openings threshold, it means that the amount of effusion in the effusion box has not reached the effusion amount threshold, and the cooking task can still be continued. The specific implementation is as follows:

[0058] Determine whether the number of cover openings N is less than the preset number of cover openings threshold; in response to determining that the number of cover openings N is less than the number of cover openings threshold, continue to execute the step of acquiring the temperature parameter in the pot body of the cooking equipment and controlling the timer to time under the condition that the temperature parameter is in the preset temperature interval.

[0059] When it is determined that the number of times of opening the cover N is less than the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, it indicates that the amount of liquid loaded in the liquid collection box of the cooking device has not reached the liquid amount threshold, and the liquid collection box can still accommodate the liquid generated by a single cooking at this time. At this time, the liquid collection box of the cooking device does not need to be cleaned, and the next cooking task can continue. When the next cooking task starts, step S11 is continued, that is, it is judged whether the cover of the cooking device is closed, so as to obtain the temperature parameter in the pot body of the cooking device, it is judged whether the temperature parameter obtained in real time is in the preset temperature range, in the case that the temperature parameter obtained is in the preset temperature range, the timer is controlled to time. And continue to judge whether the timer reaches the preset time threshold, if the preset time threshold is reached, the number of times of opening the cover is increased by 1 in response to the opening operation. Again, it is judged whether the current number of times of opening the cover reaches the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, so as to realize the cycle judgment of whether the number of times of opening the cover N is equal to the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, until the number of times of opening the cover N is equal to the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, indicating that the amount of liquid loaded in the liquid collection box has reached the liquid amount threshold, and the liquid collection box needs to be processed. Thus, the effect of monitoring the amount of liquid loaded in the liquid collection box in real time is achieved, avoiding the phenomenon of liquid overflow and leakage due to the liquid collection box not being cleaned in time, and ensuring the cleanliness of the cooking device and the surrounding environment.

[0060] In some embodiments, the management method can include S31 or S32.

[0061] S31: in response to determining that the current number of times of opening the cover N of the cooking device reaches the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, issuing a cleaning prompt information.

[0062] S32: in response to determining that the current number of times of opening the cover N of the cooking device reaches the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, emptying the liquid in the liquid collection box.

[0063] When the number of times of opening the cover N is equal to the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold, it can be considered that the remaining space of the liquid collection box has completely failed to accommodate any liquid or cannot accommodate the liquid generated by a single cooking, and the liquid collection box needs to be processed, achieving the purpose of emptying the liquid collection box, otherwise there will be a risk of overflow. At this time, a cleaning prompt information can be issued to remind the user to clean the liquid loaded in the liquid collection box, or the liquid in the liquid collection box can be directly controlled to be emptied by an automatic emptying device, ending the current liquid collection period and starting a new liquid collection period from the next cooking. When the automatic emptying device is not set, a prompt information can be issued to remind the user to clean the liquid, avoiding the risk of liquid overflow due to the liquid collection box not being cleaned in time, and ensuring the cleanliness of the cooking device and the surrounding environment; wherein the prompt information can include voice prompt information, display screen display information, LED light display information, etc., which are not limited by the embodiments of the present application.

[0064] When the automatic emptying device such as a liquid pump is provided, the automatic emptying device is directly controlled to empty the accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box, which not only avoids the overflow and leakage of the accumulated liquid due to the fact that the accumulated liquid box is not cleaned in time, but also enables the automatic emptying device to be kept in a running state for a long time and to be frequently activated, thereby reducing the heat loss and mechanical loss of the automatic emptying device. It should be noted that the automatic emptying device can include a liquid pump, a control valve, and a fluid pipeline. The fluid pipeline is connected to the accumulated liquid box, the liquid pump, and the control valve. When the current amount of accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box is greater than a first threshold value, the control valve receives a control instruction to open, and the liquid pump is turned on to drain the wastewater in the accumulated liquid box to a sink or a sewer pipeline through the fluid pipeline.

[0065] In the related art, some cooking devices need to be provided with sensors or resistors in addition to the accumulated liquid box to identify the amount of accumulated liquid loaded in the accumulated liquid box. However, the method of providing sensors or resistors increases the cost, and the placement of the sensors poses a challenge to the design structure.

[0066] Some cooking devices lack effective management means for the accumulated liquid box and cannot automatically identify and determine the loading state of the accumulated liquid box, so the user needs to observe and clean in time. If the user observes and cleans after each cooking, the cleaning frequency will be increased, and the user's use burden will be increased. If the user fails to observe and clean in time, the accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box may be at risk of overflow, which may pollute the surrounding environment or damage the cooking device.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the accumulated liquid is collected by the accumulated liquid box, the number N of times of opening the cover of the cooking device is monitored, and the number N of times of opening the cover is calculated. When the number N of times of opening the cover is less than a preset number threshold of times of opening the cover, it indicates that the amount of accumulated liquid loaded in the accumulated liquid box does not reach an accumulated liquid threshold, and there is no risk of overflow of the accumulated liquid. The accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box can be cleaned, and the accumulated liquid can be collected by the accumulated liquid box. The user does not need to clean frequently, which can reduce the cleaning frequency and labor burden of the user. When the number N of times of opening the cover reaches the preset number threshold of times of opening the cover, it indicates that the amount of accumulated liquid loaded in the accumulated liquid box reaches the accumulated liquid threshold. A prompt information can be sent in time to remind the user to clean the accumulated liquid loaded in the accumulated liquid box, or an automatic emptying device can be controlled to empty the accumulated liquid box, which avoids the overflow and leakage of the accumulated liquid due to the fact that the accumulated liquid box is not cleaned in time, and ensures the cleanliness of the cooking device and the surrounding environment.

[0068] In some embodiments, the management method can further include resetting the number N of times of opening the cover in response to detecting that the accumulated liquid box is removed or the accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box is emptied.

[0069] The time from the first cooking to the time when the liquid collection box is removed or emptied, or the time between two adjacent cleanings of the liquid collection box, can be regarded as a liquid collection period. When it is detected that the liquid collection box is removed or the liquid in the liquid collection box is emptied, it is considered that the last liquid collection period has ended after the last cooking task is completed and the cover of the cooking device is opened, and a new liquid collection period starts from the current cooking, and the cover opening number N can be reset accordingly. In the new liquid collection period, the cover opening number N is increased by 1 after completing a cooking task.

[0070] As shown in Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a liquid management method, which can be applied to a cooking device to effectively manage the liquid in the liquid collection box of the cooking device, reduce the cleaning frequency of the user, and improve the timeliness of the liquid cleaning prompt. The management method comprises S40-S60.

[0071] Here, the cooking device can generate liquid during cooking, and the liquid can be collected by setting a liquid collection box.

[0072] The cooking device can include a cooking body and a liquid collection box. The cooking body can directly cook raw materials, and the liquid collection box can collect liquid.

[0073] S40: Obtain the current liquid amount of the liquid collection box of the cooking device.

[0074] The type of the cooking device includes but is not limited to a wok, an electric boiling pot, an electric steaming pot, an electric baking pot, a food processor, etc. The liquid collection box refers to a box body in the cooking device for loading liquid.

[0075] During use of the cooking device, the main way of generating liquid is:

[0076] The water vapor generated by heating adheres to the cover of the cooking device, and condenses into water droplets on the cover when it cools down. When the cover is opened, the water droplets flow down the cover under the influence of gravity, flow into the liquid collection box through the valley base on which the wok is placed.

[0077] The current liquid amount of the liquid collection box refers to the amount of liquid currently loaded in the liquid collection box. The current liquid amount of the liquid collection box can be measured in different units, and correspondingly, the current liquid amount of the liquid collection box can be obtained in different ways. In some examples, the current liquid amount of the liquid collection box can be measured in mass units, such as grams; correspondingly, the current liquid amount of the liquid collection box can be determined based on an experimental estimation method. In other examples, the current liquid amount of the liquid collection box can be measured in volume units, such as milliliters; correspondingly, the current liquid amount of the liquid collection box can be measured by a liquid level sensor;

[0078] S50: determining whether the current amount of liquid in the liquid box reaches a liquid amount threshold value, if yes, executing step S40; if no, executing step S60.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present application, the liquid amount threshold value is a critical value for measuring whether liquid cleaning is needed, which can be set according to the specific type and cooking method of the cooking device, and is set to 80% or 90% of the capacity of the liquid box, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. If the amount of liquid loaded in the liquid box is below the liquid amount threshold value, it can be considered that the liquid box does not have the risk of liquid overflow, and the liquid box has space to continue collecting liquid, and does not need to be cleaned; if the amount of liquid loaded in the liquid box reaches the liquid amount threshold value, it is considered that the liquid box has the risk of liquid overflow and needs to be cleaned in time.

[0080] The unit of measurement of the liquid amount threshold value can be consistent with the unit of measurement of the current amount of liquid in the liquid box, and both belong to physical quantities of the same dimension. When the current amount of liquid in the liquid box is measured by a mass unit, the unit of measurement of the liquid amount threshold value is also a mass unit; and when the current amount of liquid in the liquid box is measured by a volume unit, the unit of measurement of the liquid amount threshold value can be a volume unit.

[0081] S60: in response to determining that the current amount of liquid in the liquid box reaches the liquid amount threshold value, processing the liquid box.

[0082] When the amount of liquid loaded in the liquid box reaches the liquid amount threshold value, it can be considered that the remaining space of the liquid box can no longer accommodate any liquid or cannot accommodate the liquid generated after the cover of the cooking device is opened after one cooking, at this time, the liquid loaded in the liquid box needs to be processed to achieve the purpose of emptying the liquid box, otherwise there will be a risk of overflow.

[0083] The current amount of liquid in the liquid box can be estimated by a software algorithm.

[0084] The embodiment of the present application provides a liquid accumulation cleaning method. The cooking device further comprises a pot cover, and the body comprises a base. The base comprises a seat body and a stand column on the seat body. The stand column is further provided with a liquid receiving groove and a drainage channel. A liquid leakage hole is arranged at the bottom of the liquid receiving groove in the gravity direction. The inlet end of the drainage channel is communicated with the liquid leakage hole, and the outlet end of the drainage channel extends in the gravity direction. A liquid accumulation box is arranged at one end of the stand column connected to the base. The liquid collection port of the liquid accumulation box corresponds to the outlet end of the drainage channel and is communicated with the outlet end of the drainage channel. The liquid receiving groove, the liquid leakage hole and the drainage channel arranged on the stand column of the cooking device can collect water vapor (including condensed water and water vapor) or oil and water generated during cooking and accumulated on the pot cover, and then flow into the drainage channel through the liquid leakage hole, so as to be collected in the liquid accumulation box. When the current liquid accumulation amount in the liquid accumulation box is greater than a liquid accumulation amount threshold, the processor controls the automatic emptying device to discharge the waste water in the liquid accumulation box.

[0114] Here, a typical application example is briefly introduced.

[0115] Application Example One

[0116] The cooking device 8 is a food processor, and the cooking body 102 is a wok body. The user uses the cooking device 8 to cook. The body 101 is provided with a recessed seat portion, and the wok body can be placed on the recessed seat portion. The liquid accumulation box 103 is arranged on the body 101 and can collect accumulated liquid. During cooking, a large amount of water vapor will be attached to the lid, and the water vapor will condense into water droplets and gradually flow to the liquid accumulation box 103 for collection. At the same time, the recessed seat portion can also form accumulated water and gradually flow to the liquid accumulation box 103 for collection.

[0117] The cooking device 8 further includes an angle sensor, a temperature sensor and a timer. The angle sensor is used to detect the opening angle of the cooking device lid, so as to determine whether the cooking device lid has been closed. After determining that the cooking device lid is closed, the food processor starts to perform the cooking task, and the temperature sensor detects the temperature in the pot in real time to determine the heating condition in the pot. When the temperature in the pot is detected to be between 80℃ and 140℃, the timer starts to count. If the temperature in the pot is detected to be not between 80℃ and 140℃, the timer stops counting. When the temperature in the pot is detected to be between 80℃ and 140℃ again, the timer resumes counting, until the time recorded by the timer reaches 60s. At this time, the condition for opening the lid has been reached, that is, effective opening. The effective opening indicates that, during the cooking task performed by the cooking device, the amount of accumulated liquid generated due to heating has reached a maximum value. After opening the lid, the number of opening times is increased by one, and the number of opening times is updated from 5 to 6.

[0118] The updated number of times of opening the cover 6 is compared with the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold 25, and when the number of times of opening the cover 6 is less than the preset number of times of opening the cover threshold 25, the temperature in the pot is continued to be detected when the cover of the cooking device is detected to be closed next time, the timer reaches 60s, and the cooking device is opened, the number of times of opening the cover is continued to be updated, and so on, until the number of times of opening the cover reaches 25, and a prompt information such as voice prompt information, display screen display information, LED lamp display information, etc. is sent to remind the user to clean the accumulated liquid, or the accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box is directly controlled to be emptied by the automatic emptying device.

[0119] In the use process of the food processor, the main way of generating accumulated liquid is that the water vapor generated by heating adheres to the pot cover and condenses into water droplets on the pot cover when it cools down. When the pot cover is opened, the water droplets flow down the pot cover under the influence of gravity, flow into the accumulated liquid box through the concave valley base on which the pot is placed. The amount of accumulated liquid flowing into the accumulated liquid box from the pot cover each time the pot cover is opened is related to the heating level and heating time before each time the pot cover is opened.

[0120] In actual application, the amount of accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box changes with the change of the heating level and heating time. The amount of accumulated liquid generated by different heating times and different heating levels can be counted through experiments, so that it can be determined that the amount of accumulated liquid generated by opening the pot cover once will reach a stable value. The experimental data is shown in Table 1. According to the experimental data, the amount of accumulated liquid increases with the increase of the heating level and heating time. Limited by the area of the pot cover, the weight of the accumulated liquid, etc., with the increase of the heating level and heating time, the amount of accumulated liquid generated by opening the pot cover once will reach a maximum value and stabilize around this value. This value can be verified by actual experiments. When the heating time is 30s, the heating levels that can be set include 1-9 levels. Selecting the heating time as 30s and the heating level as 9 levels, multiple experiments are conducted, and the amount of accumulated liquid obtained in each experiment is recorded. The average value of the amount of accumulated liquid obtained in multiple experiments is obtained, which is the average value of accumulated liquid generated by opening the pot cover once. Different heating times and different heating levels are set for multiple experiments, and the experimental data shown in Table 1 is obtained.

[0121] When the preset amount of accumulated liquid reaches 80% of the capacity of the accumulated liquid box, the user needs to be prompted to clean the accumulated liquid box, i.e. when the amount of accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box reaches 0.8M, the user is prompted to clean the accumulated liquid box. The experimental data shown in Table 1 can calculate the rule of accumulated liquid generation. When the heating power and time are long enough, the amount of accumulated liquid generated by opening the pot cover each time can be regarded as a fixed value W, which can be regarded as the maximum value of the amount of accumulated liquid. The current amount of accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box can be calculated by recording the number of times of opening the cover. Each opening needs to be effective opening, i.e. the amount of accumulated liquid generated by heating before this opening has reached the maximum value. The amount of accumulated liquid generated by each effective opening is accumulated, and when the accumulated liquid in the accumulated liquid box reaches 0.8M, the user needs to be reminded to clean the accumulated liquid box.

[0122] Application Example Two

[0123] The cooking device 8 is a wok, and the cooking body 102 is a wok body. The user uses the cooking device 8 to cook. The wok body can be placed on the recessed seat on the body 101. The liquid accumulation box 103 is arranged on the body 101 and can collect accumulated liquid. During cooking, a large amount of water vapor will be attached to the lid, and the water vapor will condense into water droplets and gradually flow to the liquid accumulation box 103 for collection. At the same time, the recessed seat can also form accumulated water and gradually flow to the liquid accumulation box 103 for collection. The cooking device 8 is provided with a weighing sensor, which can weigh the overall weight of the cooking device 8.

[0124] Correspondingly, the current accumulated liquid amount of the liquid accumulation box 103 can be the current accumulated liquid mass of the liquid accumulation box 103. The capacity of the liquid accumulation box 103 is 75 milliliters, and the current accumulated liquid weight is 70 grams. The accumulated liquid amount threshold is 80 grams.

[0125] Before each cooking, the wok body needs to be preheated to keep the wok body dry and hot. This heating process is the preheating phase. At the end of the preheating phase of the first cooking, the net weight of the cooking device 8 can be obtained by the weighing sensor, and the value is taken as the reference net weight of the cooking device 8. At the end of the preheating phase of each subsequent cooking, the current net weight of the cooking device 8 is obtained by the weighing sensor, which is recorded as the current net weight of the cooking device 8. At the end of the preheating phase of the i-th cooking, the difference between the current net weight and the reference net weight of the cooking device 8 can be obtained, which is the current accumulated liquid amount of the liquid accumulation box 103 in the i-th cooking. Here, i is a positive integer.

[0126] Subsequently, the current accumulated liquid amount of the liquid accumulation box 103 can be compared with the accumulated liquid amount threshold. When the current accumulated liquid amount of the liquid accumulation box 103 exceeds 80 grams, a prompt message can be sent to remind the user to clean the accumulated liquid of the liquid accumulation box 103 after the i-th cooking, or a prompt message can be sent after the i-th cooking.

The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present application. Meanwhile, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation manner and application range can be changed by those skilled in the art. In summary, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
