[0002] The use of fire was crucial to human evolution, helping our ancestors survive long, harsh winters and enabling them to migrate to colder regions, thus expanding our range of activity. Fire also revolutionized cooking methods, solving hygiene problems and allowing us to obtain more calories and nutrients from cooked food, significantly increasing lifespan. With societal development, technological advancements, and urbanization, charcoal heating has gradually faded from people's lives. Because charcoal heating better brings out the natural flavor of food, imparting a unique aroma, it is particularly important to find a way to authentically replicate charcoal heating using electric heating methods.

[0003] Current electric heating methods tend to be more about constant temperature heating, which usually involves uniformly heating the bottom and sides of the heating chamber to achieve even heating. However, they cannot be dynamically adjusted and cannot simulate the heating of charcoal.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a charcoal heating simulation method, apparatus, and electric heating equipment has become a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Optionally, the step of regulating the temperature of each heating module using corresponding temperature change data includes:

[0018] For the bottom heating module, the temperature of the bottom heating module is regulated using temperature change data of the combustion flame center corresponding to the bottom heating module;

[0019] For each of the side heating modules, the temperature of the side heating module is regulated using temperature change data at the corresponding position of the side heating module.

[0020] Optionally, the temperature change data includes the target temperature corresponding to each moment;

[0021] Then, the step of using temperature change data at the corresponding position of the side heating module to regulate the temperature of the side heating module includes:

[0022] Obtain the target temperature for the next moment from the temperature change data;

[0023] Detect the current temperature of the side heating module;

[0024] If the current temperature is higher than the target temperature at the next moment, the side heating module is cooled down.

[0025] If the current temperature is lower than the target temperature at the next moment, the side heating module is heated.

[0026] Optional, also includes:

[0030] This invention also provides a charcoal heating simulation device, applied to heating equipment, comprising:

[0044] This invention provides a charcoal heating simulation method, apparatus, and electric heating device, which can simulate charcoal heating during use, making the food cooked by this heating method more delicious and better meeting user needs.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a charcoal heating simulation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to a heating device and includes:

[0047] S110: Based on the wood type selected by the user, determine the target combustion characteristic data from the pre-stored combustion characteristic data of various types of wood;

[0048] It should be noted that the charcoal heating method in this embodiment of the invention can be applied to electric heating devices, such as electric kettles, rice cookers, electric hot pots, and electric grills. Specifically, combustion characteristic data of various types of wood can be acquired in advance, and then the combustion characteristic data of each type of wood can be stored in a database along with the corresponding wood type. When a user needs to use charcoal heating mode, they can select the desired wood type, and the system will match the target combustion characteristic data corresponding to that wood type from the pre-stored combustion characteristic data of various types of wood based on the wood type selected by the user.

[0049] S120: Based on the target combustion characteristic data, the temperature of each heating module on the heating chamber of the heating equipment is adjusted accordingly.

[0050] Specifically, the heating chamber of the electric heating device in this embodiment of the invention is provided with multiple heating modules. After determining the target combustion characteristic data, the temperature of each heating module is adjusted according to the target combustion characteristic data so that the temperature change of each heating module is similar to the temperature change of the selected wood during actual combustion, thereby realizing charcoal fire simulation. Charcoal fire heating simulation is achieved through electric heating.

[0051] The combustion characteristic data in this embodiment of the invention may include temperature change data at different locations. Specifically, temperature change data at different locations on the wood can be collected during the actual combustion process, that is, temperature data at the same location at different times and temperature data at different locations at the same time. The specific spatial location can be determined by referring to the center of the wood combustion flame and the various different locations around that center, with each location's distance from the center being relative to the center of the actual heating chamber and the distances of each heating module on the side relative to the center of the heating chamber. In other words, temperature change data at corresponding locations during the wood combustion process can be obtained based on the positions of the various heating modules arranged around the heating chamber, thereby obtaining temperature change data corresponding to different heating modules.

[0052] Furthermore, the process of adjusting the temperature of each heating module based on the target combustion characteristic data can specifically include:

[0053] Based on the location of each heating module, temperature change data corresponding to each heating module is obtained from the target combustion characteristic data;

[0054] For each heating module, the temperature of the heating module is regulated using the corresponding temperature change data.

[0055] It should be noted that after determining the target combustion characteristic data, the temperature change data corresponding to each heating module is obtained from the target combustion characteristic data based on the location of each heating module. This temperature change data includes the temperature at each moment. For each heating module, the temperature can be scheduled using the corresponding temperature change data, so that the temperature of the heating module changes according to the corresponding changes, thereby making the overall heating situation similar to the actual combustion of wood.

[0056] Each heating module may include a bottom heating module located at the bottom of the heating chamber and side heating modules located on each side of the heating chamber.

[0057] Specifically, the position information of each side heating module relative to the bottom heating module can be determined in advance based on the side heating modules and the bottom heating module. Then, based on this position information, temperature change data at the corresponding positions for each type of wood can be obtained to acquire combustion characteristic data corresponding to that wood. Therefore, temperature change data for the bottom heating module and temperature curves corresponding to the temperature change data for each side heating module can be obtained. Please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figure 2 .

[0058] Understandably, for each heating module, the temperature is adjusted using corresponding temperature change data. Specifically, for the bottom heating module, the temperature is adjusted using temperature change data corresponding to the center of the combustion flame. For each side heating module, the temperature is adjusted using temperature change data at the corresponding location. This allows the overall temperature change of each heating module to more closely resemble the actual burning of wood, thus better simulating charcoal heating.

[0059] It should be noted that the temperature change data in the embodiments of the present invention includes the target temperature corresponding to each moment;

[0060] Accordingly, the process of regulating the temperature of the side heating module using temperature change data at the corresponding location of the side heating module can specifically include:

[0061] Obtain the target temperature for the next moment from the temperature change data;

[0062] Detect the current temperature of the side heating module;

[0063] If the current temperature is higher than the target temperature for the next moment, the side heating module is cooled down.

[0064] If the current temperature is lower than the target temperature for the next moment, the side heating module is heated.

[0065] Understandably, for each side heating module, the current temperature of that side heating module can be collected and compared with the target temperature for the next moment in the corresponding temperature change data. If the current temperature is lower than the target temperature, the side heating module is heated to gradually increase its temperature; if the current temperature is higher than the target temperature, the side heating module is cooled to gradually decrease its temperature, thus recreating the fluctuating temperature state of charcoal combustion.

[0066] It should be noted that, in practical applications, to reduce heat loss, the embodiments of the present invention may further include:

[0067] During the cooling process of the side heating module, the lost heat is transferred to the bottom heating module.

[0068] In other words, during the cooling process of the side heating module, the heat lost during the cooling process can be transferred to the bottom heating module. Specifically, this can be achieved through heat pipes and fans located on the side heating module, which transmit the heat from the side heating module to the bottom heating module via a designated channel. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 .

[0069] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the invention, combustion characteristic data of various types of wood are pre-stored. When a user needs to use charcoal heating, they can select the corresponding type of wood. Based on the type of wood selected by the user, the target combustion characteristic data corresponding to that type of wood is filtered from the stored combustion characteristic data. Then, the temperature of each heating module is adjusted according to the target combustion characteristic data, so that the overall temperature change of each heating module is close to the actual combustion of that type of wood, thereby simulating charcoal heating and making the food cooked by this heating method more delicious and better meeting the needs of users.
