Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking equipment, in particular to a cast iron inner pot drying method and device, computer equipment and cooking equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Iron is the basic element of cell structure, and 72% of iron in the human body exists in hemoglobin. Iron deficiency can cause anemia, and the channels for iron element intake in life are limited.

[0003] With the increasing demand for iron supplementation, cast iron cookware has appeared on the market. The chemical properties of cast iron are stable and not prone to chemical reactions. In addition, a small amount of iron element dissolved during use can be absorbed and utilized by the human body. However, people will have rust problems when using cast iron products after purchase. Rust is harmful to the human body. Specifically, the cast iron pot rusts because it encounters oxygen-containing water and generates iron oxide. In related technologies, metal coatings (such as electroplating, spraying, coating, and vacuum plating) and non-metallic coatings (inorganic coatings and organic coatings) are generally used to prevent cast iron pots from rusting. At the same time, oil is also used to isolate the cast iron pot from air and water, thereby preventing the cast iron pot from rusting. However, metal coatings and non-metallic coatings not only hinder the dissolution of iron elements, making it impossible for the human body to intake and absorb iron elements, but also the trace amounts of metal or non-metal elements in the metal coatings and non-metallic coatings can have harmful effects on human health, affecting the health of users. Using oil to prevent cast iron pots from rusting requires user handling, which is very troublesome and affects the user experience. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a cast iron inner pot drying method, device, computer equipment and cooking equipment to solve the problem of easy rusting of cast iron pots.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a cast iron inner pot drying method, which comprises the following steps: when an in-place signal of a cast iron inner pot is acquired, it is determined whether the cast iron inner pot is in a post-washing state; and when the cast iron inner pot is in the post-washing state, the cast iron inner pot is dried by using a heating device.

[0006] The cast iron inner pot drying method provided by the embodiment of the present application can keep the cast iron pot in a dry state, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron pot. The cast iron inner pot is prone to rusting, especially the cast iron inner pot without coating. Therefore, the cast iron inner pot can be produced without metal coating or non-metal coating, thereby reducing the cost. Meanwhile, the user does not need to use oil to maintain the cast iron inner pot during use, thereby improving the user experience.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the determining whether the cast iron inner pot is in the post-washing state comprises: starting the heating device to pre-dry the cast iron inner pot by using a preset first power; acquiring a heating duration of the pre-drying of the cast iron inner pot; when the heating duration reaches a preset first duration threshold, acquiring an actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot; and determining whether the cast iron inner pot is in the post-washing state according to the actual temperature rising rate.

[0008] This is because, when the in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, that is, when the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot from not being placed in the outer pot, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot during pre-drying can be acquired by pre-drying the cast iron inner pot, so as to filter out the situation that food still exists in the cast iron inner pot, that is, to accurately identify whether the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after washing. Further, when the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after washing, the heating device can be used to dry the moisture on the surface of the cast iron inner pot, so that the cast iron pot can be kept in a dry state, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron pot.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, before starting the heating device to pre-dry the cast iron inner pot by using the preset first power, the method further comprises: determining whether a manual drying control instruction is received; when the manual drying control instruction is not received, performing the step of starting the heating device to pre-dry the cast iron inner pot by using the preset first power; and when the manual drying control instruction is received, starting the heating device to dry the cast iron inner pot by using a preset second power; wherein the second power is greater than the first power.

[0010] Therefore, the drying of the cast iron inner pot can be divided into manual drying and automatic drying according to the requirement of the user, and different schemes are adopted in the two cases. Moreover, when the manual drying control instruction is received, the cast iron inner pot can be dried by using a larger power, so as to achieve the effect of rapid drying.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, determining whether the cast iron inner pot is in the post-cleaning state according to the actual temperature rising rate comprises: obtaining a preset normal temperature rising rate interval; and determining that the cast iron inner pot is in the post-cleaning state when the actual temperature rising rate is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the normal temperature rising rate interval.

[0012] This is because the presence or absence of food in the cast iron inner pot results in different temperature rising rates during the pre-drying process. Specifically, when food is present in the cast iron inner pot, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is lower than the minimum value of the normal temperature rising rate interval; and when no food is present in the cast iron inner pot, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is within the normal temperature rising rate interval.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, when the cast iron inner pot is in the post-cleaning state, drying the cast iron inner pot by using the heating device comprises: determining whether the actual temperature rising rate is less than or equal to the maximum value of the normal temperature rising rate interval; drying the cast iron inner pot by using the first power when the actual temperature rising rate is less than or equal to the maximum value of the normal temperature rising rate interval; and drying the cast iron inner pot by using the third power when the actual temperature rising rate is greater than the maximum value of the normal temperature rising rate interval, wherein the third power is less than the first power.

[0014] This is because the initial temperature of the cast iron inner pot also affects the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot. Specifically, when the initial temperature of the cast iron inner pot is high, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is fast. In order to avoid scalding the user when drying the cast iron inner pot, it is necessary to reduce the heating power when drying the cast iron inner pot, so as to maintain the cast iron inner pot at a lower temperature that does not scald the user.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, after drying the cast iron inner pot by using the heating device, the method further comprises: obtaining the current humidity in the cast iron inner pot and / or the current drying duration of the cast iron inner pot; and determining whether to end the drying process of the cast iron inner pot according to the current humidity and / or the current drying duration.

[0016] Thus, the end time of the drying process of the cast iron inner pot can be accurately determined.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, after starting the heating device to dry the cast iron inner pot by using the preset second power, the method further comprises: obtaining the current humidity in the cast iron inner pot and / or the current drying duration of the cast iron inner pot; and determining whether to end the drying process of the cast iron inner pot according to the current humidity and / or the current drying duration.

[0018] Thus, the end time of the drying process of the cast iron inner pot can be accurately determined.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment, determining whether the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended according to the current humidity comprises: determining whether the current humidity is less than or equal to a preset humidity threshold; and determining that the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended when the current humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold.

[0020] This is because, with the drying process, the water attached to the cast iron inner pot evaporates, and when the current humidity of the cast iron inner pot is less than or equal to the humidity threshold, it indicates that the water attached to the cast iron inner pot has evaporated or will soon evaporate, so the drying process of the cast iron inner pot can be ended.

[0021] In an alternative embodiment, determining whether the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended according to the current drying time comprises: determining whether the current drying time reaches a preset second time threshold; and determining that the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended when the current drying time reaches the time threshold.

[0022] This is because, after each cleaning of the cast iron inner pot, the water attached to the cast iron inner pot is within a certain range, and accordingly, the water attached to the cast iron inner pot needs a maximum drying time, so the drying process of the cast iron inner pot can be determined by setting the time threshold. Specifically, the time threshold can be the maximum drying time.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment, determining whether the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended according to the current humidity and the current drying time comprises: determining whether the current humidity is less than or equal to a preset humidity threshold; determining whether the current drying time reaches a preset second time threshold when the current humidity is greater than the humidity threshold; determining that the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended when the current drying time reaches the time threshold; and determining that the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended when the current humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold.

[0024] This is because, the current humidity of the cast iron inner pot is detected by the humidity sensor, and when the humidity sensor fails, it may cause the current humidity detected by the humidity sensor to be greater than the temperature threshold even though the water attached to the cast iron inner pot has evaporated or will soon evaporate. Therefore, in order to end the drying process of the cast iron inner pot when the humidity sensor fails, a time threshold can be set, and the drying process of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended when the current drying time reaches the time threshold. Specifically, the time threshold can be the maximum drying time.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, after the cast iron inner pot is dried by the heating device, the method further comprises: ending the drying process of the cast iron inner pot when a drying control exit instruction is received; or, after the cast iron inner pot is dried by the heating device at the preset second power, the method further comprises: ending the drying process of the cast iron inner pot when a drying control exit instruction is received.

[0026] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a cast iron inner pot drying method and device. The device comprises a preprocessing module and a first drying module. When an in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, the preprocessing module is configured to determine whether the cast iron inner pot is in a post-washing state. When the cast iron inner pot is in the post-washing state, the first drying module is configured to dry the cast iron inner pot by a heating device until a preset drying end condition is reached.

[0027] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a computer device. The computer device comprises a memory and a processor. The memory and the processor are in communication connection with each other. The memory stores computer instructions. The processor executes the computer instructions, thereby performing the cast iron inner pot drying method of the first aspect or any of the corresponding embodiments thereof.

[0028] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a cooking device. The cooking device comprises the computer device of the third aspect, a cast iron inner pot, and an outer pot matched with the cast iron inner pot.

[0029] In a fourth aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a computer readable storage medium. The computer readable storage medium stores computer instructions. The computer instructions are used to make a computer execute the cast iron inner pot drying method of the first aspect or any of the corresponding embodiments thereof. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0038] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present application, a cast iron inner pot drying method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flow chart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown herein.

[0040] In the present embodiment, a cast iron inner pot drying method is provided, which can be used in a cooking device with a computer device. Specifically, the cooking device can be an electric rice cooker, a pressure cooker, etc. In the present embodiment, an electric rice cooker is taken as an example for illustration. Specifically, the electric rice cooker includes a cast iron inner pot and an outer pot. The cast iron inner pot can be placed in the outer pot or taken out of the outer pot. A heating device is arranged in the outer pot, which can heat the cast iron inner pot.

[0041] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a cast iron inner pot drying method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 the flow chart includes the following steps:

[0042] In step S101, when the in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, it is determined whether the cast iron inner pot is in a post-washing state.

[0043] Specifically, when the in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, it can be understood that the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot.

[0044] This is because, in the use process of the electric cooker, when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, it is possible that the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after being cleaned, at this time, the surface of the cast iron inner pot will have moisture, the heating device of the electric cooker can be started to dry the moisture on the surface of the cast iron inner pot, so that the cast iron inner pot can be kept in a dry state, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron inner pot.

[0045] Step S102, when the cast iron inner pot is in a cleaned state, the heating device is used to dry the cast iron inner pot.

[0046] The cast iron inner pot drying method provided by the embodiment 1 of the present application, when the in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, that is, when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, by judging whether the cast iron inner pot is in a cleaned state, and when the cast iron inner pot is in a cleaned state, the heating device is used to dry the moisture on the surface of the cast iron inner pot, so that the cast iron pot can be kept in a dry state, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron pot. It solves the pain point that the cast iron inner pot, especially the uncoated cast iron inner pot, is prone to rust. Therefore, the cast iron inner pot can reduce the metal coating or non-metal coating during production, thereby reducing the cost; at the same time, during use, the user does not need to use oil to maintain the cast iron inner pot, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] Figure 2 is a flow chart of another cast iron inner pot drying method according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , the flow chart includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S201, when the in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, the heating device is started to pre-dry the cast iron inner pot with a preset first power.

[0049] This is because, in the use process of the electric cooker, when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, it is possible that the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after being cleaned, at this time, the surface of the cast iron inner pot will have moisture, the heating device of the electric cooker can be started to dry the moisture on the surface of the cast iron inner pot, so that the cast iron inner pot can be kept in a dry state, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron inner pot.

[0050] Step S202, the heating time for pre-drying the cast iron inner pot is acquired.

[0051] Step S203, when the heating time reaches a preset first time threshold, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is acquired.

[0052] Specifically, the first time threshold can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, according to the drying time of the cast iron inner pot, the first time threshold is smaller than the drying time of the cast iron inner pot.

[0053] In the embodiment, in order to determine whether the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning, that is, whether the cast iron inner pot needs to be dried, the actual heating rate of the cast iron inner pot needs to be obtained.

[0054] This is because, when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, it is possible that the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning, at this time, there is no food in the cast iron inner pot; it is also possible that the cast iron inner pot is taken out during the meal as a dish container, and is placed back in the outer pot after the meal, at this time, there is still food in the cast iron inner pot. However, whether there is food in the cast iron inner pot, the heating rate of the cast iron inner pot is different in the pre-drying process. Therefore, by obtaining the actual heating rate of the cast iron inner pot, the situation that the cast iron inner pot has food when it is placed in the outer pot can be filtered out.

[0055] In step S204, whether the cast iron inner pot is in the state after cleaning is determined according to the actual heating rate.

[0056] Specifically, whether the cast iron inner pot is in the state after cleaning, that is, whether the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning.

[0057] In step S205, when the cast iron inner pot is in the state after cleaning, the cast iron inner pot is dried by using the heating device.

[0058] The cast iron inner pot drying method provided by the embodiment 2 of the present application, when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, by pre-drying the cast iron inner pot, and obtaining the actual heating rate of the cast iron inner pot during pre-drying, the situation that the cast iron inner pot still has food can be filtered out, that is, whether the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning is accurately identified. Further, when the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning, the water on the surface of the cast iron inner pot can be dried by using the heating device, so that the cast iron pot can be kept in a dry state, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron pot.

[0059] That is, the embodiment of the present application provides a control method for intelligently drying water of a cast iron inner pot, which solves the pain point that the cast iron inner pot, especially the cast iron inner pot without coating, is prone to rust. Therefore, the cast iron inner pot can reduce the metal coating or non-metal coating during production, thereby reducing the cost; at the same time, during use, the user also does not need to use oil to maintain the cast iron inner pot, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] The present embodiment provides a cast iron inner pot drying method, which can be used in a cooking device with a computer device, and specifically, the cooking device can be an electric rice cooker, a pressure cooker, etc. In the present embodiment, the electric rice cooker is taken as an example for illustration, and specifically, the electric rice cooker includes a cast iron inner pot and an outer pot. The cast iron inner pot can be placed in the outer pot or taken out of the outer pot. The outer pot is provided with a heating device, which can heat the cast iron inner pot. A drying button is arranged in the electric rice cooker. When the user presses the drying button, the cast iron inner pot can be dried.

[0061] Figure 3 Fig. 6 is a flowchart of another cast iron inner pot drying method according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes the following steps: Figure 3

[0062] Step S301: The cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot.

[0063] Step S302: It is judged whether a manual drying control instruction is received. When the manual drying control instruction is received, step S303 is entered; when the manual drying control instruction is not received, step S304 is entered.

[0064] In the present embodiment, when the user presses the drying button, it can be considered that the manual drying control instruction is received.

[0065] Step S303: The heating device is started to dry the cast iron inner pot by using a preset second power. The second power is greater than the first power.

[0066] That is to say, when the user presses the drying button, the manual drying program is executed, and at this time, the cast iron inner pot can be dried by using a larger power to achieve the effect of fast drying.

[0067] Step S304: The heating device is started to pre-dry the cast iron inner pot by using a preset first power. For details, refer to step S201 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, which will not be described here again. Figure 2

[0068] That is to say, when the user does not press the drying button, the automatic drying program is executed. When the automatic drying program is executed, the situation that the cast iron inner pot has food when being placed in the outer pot needs to be filtered out, i.e., steps S305 to S306 below.

[0069] Step S305: The heating duration for pre-drying the cast iron inner pot is acquired.

[0070] Step S306: When the heating duration reaches a preset first duration threshold, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is acquired.

[0071] ​​Step S307, determining whether the cast iron inner pot is in the post-cleaning state according to the actual temperature rising rate.

[0072] Specifically, step S307 comprises:

[0073] Step S3071: obtaining a preset normal temperature rising rate range.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the normal temperature rising rate range refers to the temperature rising rate range when the cast iron inner pot is empty and the cast iron inner pot is cold.

[0075] This is because, for different cast iron inner pots, their normal temperature rising rates are different due to different preparation materials; even for the same cast iron inner pot, its normal temperature rising rate is different under different test conditions due to errors and the like. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the normal temperature rising rate is a range value.

[0076] Step S3072: determining whether the actual temperature rising rate is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the normal temperature rising rate range.

[0077] Step S3073: when the actual temperature rising rate is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the normal temperature rising rate range, determining that the cast iron inner pot is in the post-cleaning state.

[0078] Step S3074: when the actual temperature rising rate is less than the minimum value of the normal temperature rising rate range, controlling the heating device to stop pre-drying the cast iron inner pot.

[0079] This is because, as described above, the presence or absence of food in the cast iron inner pot is different in the pre-drying process. Specifically, when food exists in the cast iron inner pot, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is low, less than the minimum value of the normal temperature rising rate range; when no food exists in the cast iron inner pot, the actual temperature rising rate of the cast iron inner pot is in the normal temperature rising rate range.

[0080] Step S308: when the cast iron inner pot is in the post-cleaning state, drying the cast iron inner pot by using the heating device.

[0081] Specifically, step S308 comprises:

[0082] Step S3081: determining whether the actual temperature rising rate is less than or equal to the maximum value of the normal temperature rising rate range.

[0083] Step S2082: when the actual temperature rising rate is less than or equal to the maximum value of the normal temperature rising rate range, drying the cast iron inner pot by using the first power.

[0084] Step S3083: when the actual temperature rising rate is greater than the maximum value of the normal temperature rising rate range, wherein the third power is less than the first power.

[0085] The reason is that the initial temperature of the cast iron inner pot also affects the actual heating rate of the cast iron inner pot. Specifically, when the initial temperature of the cast iron inner pot is high, the actual heating rate of the cast iron inner pot is fast. In order to avoid scalding the user when the cast iron inner pot is dried, it is necessary to reduce the heating power when the cast iron inner pot is dried, so that the cast iron inner pot is maintained at a lower temperature which does not scald the user.

[0086] The cast iron inner pot drying method provided by the embodiment 3 of the present application can not only accurately identify whether the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning by pre-drying the cast iron inner pot when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, but also can automatically dry the moisture on the surface of the cast iron inner pot by using the heating device when the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after cleaning, and can avoid scalding the user during the drying process to ensure the safety of the user. At the same time, when a manual drying control instruction is received, the cast iron inner pot can be dried by using a larger power to achieve a fast drying effect.

[0087] In the embodiment, a cast iron inner pot drying method is provided, which can be used in a cooking device with a computer device. Specifically, the cooking device can be an electric rice cooker, a pressure cooker, etc. In the embodiment, the electric rice cooker is taken as an example for illustration. Specifically, the electric rice cooker includes a cast iron inner pot and an outer pot. The cast iron inner pot can be placed in the outer pot or taken out of the outer pot. The outer pot is provided with a heating device which can heat the cast iron inner pot. The electric rice cooker is provided with a drying button. When the user presses the drying button, the cast iron inner pot can be dried.

[0088] Figure 4 The flowchart of another cast iron inner pot drying method according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 4, which includes the following steps: Figure 4

[0089] Step S401: When the in-place signal of the cast iron inner pot is acquired, the heating device is started to pre-dry the cast iron inner pot by using a preset first power.

[0090] Step S402: The heating time for pre-drying the cast iron inner pot is acquired.

[0091] Step S403: When the heating time reaches a preset first time threshold, the actual heating rate of the cast iron inner pot is acquired.

[0092] Step S404: Whether the cast iron inner pot is in a cleaned state is determined according to the actual heating rate.

[0093] Step S405: When the cast iron inner pot is in the cleaned state, the cast iron inner pot is dried by using the heating device.

[0094] ​Step S406: obtaining the current humidity in the cast iron pot and / or the current drying duration for drying the cast iron pot.

[0095] Step S407: determining whether the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended according to the current humidity and / or the current drying duration.

[0096] Specifically, the step S407 of “determining whether the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended according to the current humidity” includes:

[0097] Step a1: determining whether the current humidity is less than or equal to a preset humidity threshold value;

[0098] Step a2: when the current humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold value, it is determined that the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended.

[0099] This is because, with the drying, the water attached to the cast iron pot will evaporate, and when the current humidity of the cast iron pot is less than or equal to the humidity threshold value, it means that the water attached to the cast iron pot has been or will be evaporated, so the drying treatment for the cast iron pot can be ended.

[0100] Specifically, the step S407 of “determining whether the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended according to the current drying duration” includes:

[0101] Step b1: determining whether the current drying duration reaches a preset second duration threshold value;

[0102] Step b2: when the current drying duration reaches the duration threshold value, it is determined that the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended.

[0103] This is because, after each cleaning of the cast iron pot, the water attached to the cast iron pot is within an interval range, and accordingly, the water on the cast iron pot needs a longest drying duration, so the drying treatment for the cast iron pot can be determined by setting the duration threshold value. Specifically, the duration threshold value can be the longest drying duration.

[0104] Specifically, the step S407 of “determining whether the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended according to the current humidity and the current drying duration” includes:

[0105] Step c1: determining whether the current humidity is less than or equal to a preset humidity threshold value;

[0106] Step c2: when the current humidity is greater than the humidity threshold value, determining whether the current drying duration reaches a preset second duration threshold value; when the current drying duration reaches the duration threshold value, it is determined that the drying treatment for the cast iron pot needs to be ended.

[0107] Step c3: when the current humidity is less than or equal to the humidity threshold, it is determined that the drying treatment of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended.

[0108] This is because the current humidity in the cast iron inner pot is detected by the humidity sensor. When the humidity sensor fails or the steam valve fails, it may cause the current humidity detected by the humidity sensor to be still greater than the temperature threshold even if the moisture on the cast iron inner pot has been evaporated or will be evaporated. Therefore, in order to end the drying treatment of the cast iron inner pot when the humidity sensor fails, a time threshold can be set. When the current drying time reaches the time threshold, it is determined that the drying treatment of the cast iron inner pot needs to be ended. Specifically, the time threshold can be the maximum drying time.

[0109] It should be noted that in addition to ending the drying treatment in the manner of steps S406 and S407, the drying function can also be exited when the user manually operates the drying button. That is, after the cast iron inner pot is dried by the heating device, it further includes: when a drying control exit instruction is received, ending the drying treatment of the cast iron inner pot; or, after the cast iron inner pot is dried by the heating device using the preset second power, it further includes: when a drying control exit instruction is received, ending the drying treatment of the cast iron inner pot.

[0110] The cast iron inner pot drying method provided by the embodiment of the present application can not only accurately identify whether the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after being cleaned by pre-drying the cast iron inner pot when the cast iron inner pot is changed from not being placed in the outer pot to being placed in the outer pot, but also automatically dry the moisture on the surface of the cast iron inner pot by using the heating device when the cast iron inner pot is placed in the outer pot after being cleaned. Moreover, the drying treatment can be accurately ended.

[0111] Figure 5 is a flowchart of an example of the cast iron inner pot drying method according to the embodiment of the present application. The cast iron inner pot is an inner pot of an electric rice cooker. The coil disc and the top heating wire of the electric rice cooker can be used to start heating to evaporate the moisture attached to the cast iron inner pot, so that the cast iron inner pot can maintain a dry state for a long time, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rusting of the cast iron pot.

[0112] As shown in Figure 5 , the cast iron inner pot drying method includes manual drying and automatic drying. The manual drying is started by the user operating the drying button. When the user does not operate the drying button, the automatic drying is started.

[0113] Manual drying: the cast iron inner pot is placed in the electric rice cooker, and the electric rice cooker detects that the inner pot changes from not in place to in place, that is, when the cast iron inner pot changes from not placed in the outer pot to placed in the outer pot, the user manually operates the drying button to start the drying function. When manual drying, high power heating is required to achieve fast drying effect.

[0114] Automatic drying: the cast iron inner pot is placed in the electric rice cooker, and the electric rice cooker detects that the inner pot changes from not in place to in place, that is, when the cast iron inner pot changes from not placed in the outer pot to placed in the outer pot, the user does not operate the drying button, then the automatic drying is started, and the pre-drying is performed. When automatic drying, low power heating is required, slow drying while keeping the temperature slightly lower to avoid accidental scalding of the user.

[0115] During the execution of the automatic drying function, the actual temperature rising rate K is judged after X time.

[0116] The interval of the normal temperature rising rate of the temperature sensing bag inside the electric rice cooker (i.e. the normal temperature rising rate interval) is set as [a, b], and the actual temperature rising rate of the temperature sensing bag inside the electric rice cooker is K, wherein the calculation method of K is the difference between the temperature after X time and the initial temperature / X.

[0117] The specific judgment logic is as follows:

[0118] Case one: K ∈ [a, b], continue to execute automatic drying, K ∈ [a, b] indicates that the cast iron inner pot is in a cleaned state, so the cast iron inner pot is continuously dried.

[0119] Case two: If K is lower than the lower limit of [a, b], it indicates that the temperature of the cast iron inner pot does not reach the requirement of the normal temperature rising rate interval, it is determined that the cast iron inner pot contains objects, and the pre-drying needs to be stopped; if K is higher than the upper limit of [a, b], it indicates that the temperature rising of the cast iron inner pot is fast, it is determined that the cast iron inner pot is started at a high temperature, in order to avoid scalding the user, the power needs to be reduced for automatic drying.

[0120] It should be noted that, in addition to stopping pre-drying when K is lower than the lower limit of [a, b], the conditions for exiting the drying function in manual drying and automatic drying are the same. The steam humidity in the cast iron inner pot when the drying is completed is n, and the longest drying time is m.

[0121] When manual drying and automatic drying, when the actual drying time is less than m, the steam valve port of the electric rice cooker starts to detect humidity, and when the water attached to the cast iron pot evaporates, the detected humidity will be low. When the current humidity ≤ n, the drying function is exited; when the actual drying time is greater than or equal to m, even if the current humidity ≤ n, the drying function also needs to be exited, which can avoid the situation that the steam valve port of the electric rice cooker appears abnormal or the humidity sensor fails, resulting in the inability to exit the drying function.
