In a multi-cavity functional oven, if two or more functional chambers operate at their maximum heating power simultaneously, the total power of the functional chambers may exceed the limit.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to ensure that the total power of two functional boxes in a multi-cavity functional box operating at their maximum heating power simultaneously does not exceed the limit, the maximum heating power of each functional box is limited at the factory to reduce the maximum heating power of each functional box.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that reducing the maximum heating power of each functional box would result in a longer heating time for food when a single functional box is in operation. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0056] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0057] First, it should be noted that in the description of this application, the use of directional terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicates the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for descriptive purposes and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the use of numerical quantifiers such as "first," "second," and "third" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Additionally, in this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, interference fits, transition fits, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0058] This application provides a power control method, one embodiment of which includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 101: Receive the work instruction for controlling the operation of the first function box.

[0060] Specifically, users can send work commands to the multi-cavity functional box via an app, mini-program, or webpage on a smart terminal. The aforementioned smart terminal includes, but is not limited to, smartphones, smart bracelets, tablets (portable Android devices), and laptops. The multi-cavity functional box can communicate with the smart terminal via wired or wireless communication. Wireless communication includes, but is not limited to, WiFi, cellular networks, Bluetooth, and ZigBee. In other embodiments, a touch panel or buttons can be provided on the multi-cavity functional box; users can also send work commands via the touch panel or buttons. The first and second functional boxes can be configured with separate processors or share a single processor; when the first and second functional boxes are configured with separate processors, the two processors can communicate with each other. The aforementioned processors include, but are not limited to, ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) processors, microcontrollers, and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). The aforementioned functional boxes include, but are not limited to, steam ovens, ovens, steam ovens, and air fryers. The multi-cavity functional box can be an integration of functional boxes with different functions or an integration of functional boxes with the same functions.

[0061] Step 102: When the second function box is in operation, control the first function box to operate with the first power curve and control the second function box to operate with the second power curve.

[0062] The sum of the real-time power of the first power curve and the second power curve does not exceed the safe power.

[0063] Among them, the real-time sum of the first power curve and the second power curve is less than the real-time sum of the third power curve and the fourth power curve; the third power curve is the power curve of the first functional box when working in a single chamber under the working command corresponding to the first power curve, and the fourth power curve is the power curve of the second functional box when working in a single chamber under the working command corresponding to the second power curve; the real-time sum of the third power curve and the fourth power curve is greater than the safe power.

[0064] Specifically, after receiving the working instruction to control the operation of the first functional box, the processor obtains the operating data of the second functional box (including but not limited to current, voltage, temperature, and power) to detect whether the second functional box is in operation.

[0065] The safe power is related to the maximum power of the multi-cavity functional box and the total power of its non-heating components. N ≤ a*MP, or N ≤ a*(MP); where N is the safe power; M is the maximum power of the multi-cavity functional box, which can be the maximum power specified in national industry safety regulations, such as 3520W; a is a constant coefficient greater than 0 and less than 1. Fluctuations in mains voltage can cause fluctuations in the actual power of the multi-cavity functional box, so a constant coefficient a is set to ensure safe operation; P is the total power of the non-heating components of the multi-cavity functional box; non-heating components include, but are not limited to, components in the control device, lighting devices, and hot air blowers of the multi-cavity functional box; when integrating the multi-cavity functional box into integrated appliances with other functions such as integrated stoves or integrated sinks, the power of other components of the integrated appliance also needs to be considered when calculating M.

[0066] In related technologies, in order to ensure that the total power of two functional chambers in a multi-chamber functional box does not exceed the maximum heating power when they are operating at their maximum power simultaneously, a method is adopted to reduce the maximum heating power of each functional chamber separately. Even when a single functional chamber is operating, the maximum heating power of a single functional chamber is still limited, which increases the heating time of the functional chamber on the food, which is not conducive to food processing.

[0067] In this application, on the one hand, when the second functional box is in operation and requires the use of the first functional box, the first functional box is controlled to operate with a first power curve and the second functional box is controlled to operate with a second power curve. The real-time sum of the power of the first and second power curves is not greater than the safe power. This can both increase the heating power when a single functional box is working and ensure that the total power of the multi-cavity functional boxes meets the standard when multiple functional boxes are working. On the other hand, the real-time sum of the power of the third and fourth power curves is greater than the safe power. The third power curve is the power curve of the first functional box when working in a single cavity under the working command corresponding to the first power curve, and the fourth power curve is the power curve of the second functional box when working in a single cavity under the working command corresponding to the second power curve. This ensures that the heating power of at least one functional box when working in a single cavity is greater than the heating power corresponding to the functional box when working in both cavities simultaneously, thereby helping to shorten the heating time of the functional box when working in a single cavity.

[0068] As one specific implementation of step 102, when the second functional box is in operation, controlling the first functional box to operate with a first power curve and controlling the second functional box to operate with a second power curve includes the following steps:

[0069] Step 201: Determine whether the second functional box is in the preheating stage; if so, proceed to step 202.

[0070] Step 202: Control the first function box to operate with the first power curve, and control the second function box to operate with the second power curve.

[0071] At this point, the real-time power in the first power curve is less than the real-time power in the third power curve, and the second power curve is the same as the fourth power curve.

[0072] Specifically, whether it's a steam oven or a regular oven, the entire working process can be divided into two stages: the preheating stage and the heating stage (also known as the heat preservation stage). The preheating stage is to prevent food from undergoing a slow temperature rise, which could affect the quality of the finished product. The preheating stage involves the oven heating the cavity from room temperature to the set temperature (or reaching the preheating temperature corresponding to the operating command). The heating stage refers to the process where, after the cavity reaches the set temperature, it maintains that temperature or fluctuates slightly around it. The average heating power during the heating stage is lower than the average heating power during the preheating stage. Because the temperature change inside the oven and the heating power change are not linearly related, reducing the heating power during the preheating stage will require double the preheating time or may even prevent the oven from reaching the preheating temperature.

[0073] In this application, the processor determines whether the second functional box is in the preheating stage. If it determines that the second functional box is in the preheating stage, it controls the real-time power in the first power curve to be less than the real-time power in the third power curve, and the second power curve is the same as the fourth power curve. That is, if the second functional box is in the preheating stage, it continues to operate with the fourth power curve corresponding to the single-cavity operation of the second functional box, which is more conducive to the heating of food by the second functional box. At this time, in order to ensure that the total power when the dual cavities are working meets the standard, it controls the real-time power in the first power curve corresponding to the first functional box to be less than the real-time power in the third power curve, so that the sum of the real-time power of the first power curve and the second power curve is not greater than the safe power, and the total power of the multi-cavity functional box still meets the standard.

[0074] As another specific implementation of step 102, when the second functional box is in operation, controlling the first functional box to operate with a first power curve and controlling the second functional box to operate with a second power curve includes the following steps:

[0075] Step 301: Determine whether the second functional box is in the preheating stage; if not, proceed to step 302.

[0076] Step 302: Control the first functional box to operate with the first power curve and control the second functional box to operate with the second power curve; at this time, the first power curve is the same as the third power curve, and the real-time power in the second power curve is less than the real-time power in the fourth power curve.

[0077] Specifically, when the processor determines that the second functional box is not in the preheating stage, the processor controls the first power curve to be the same as the third power curve, and the real-time power in the second power curve is less than the real-time power in the fourth power curve. That is, if the second functional box is not in the preheating stage, the processor controls the first power curve of the first functional box to operate at the third power curve corresponding to the single-cavity operation of the first functional box. This allows the first functional box to reach the temperature required for the preheating stage or reduces the time taken for the first functional box to reach the temperature required for the preheating stage. At the same time, by reducing the power of the second functional box in the heating stage, the total real-time power of the first power curve and the second power curve is not greater than the safe power.

[0078] As one implementation of "determining whether the second functional box is in the preheating stage", the second functional box is determined to be in the preheating stage by at least one of the temperature signal, time signal and air pressure signal.

[0079] Specifically, temperature sensors can be installed in both the first and second functional boxes. These sensors detect the temperature of the second functional box during operation and emit temperature information. For example, during the preheating phase, the temperature inside the functional box changes over time. By analyzing the temperature changes in the second functional box, it can be determined whether it is in the preheating phase. Alternatively, a preheating time can be set for each functional box. By acquiring the preheating duration (obtained through a time signal), it can also be determined whether the second functional box is in the preheating phase. Since heating causes pressure changes inside the functional box, a pressure sensor can be installed inside. This sensor detects pressure changes and emits a pressure signal. By analyzing this pressure signal, it can be determined whether the second functional box is in the preheating phase.

[0080] As another implementation of the power control method, after controlling the first functional box to operate with a first power curve and controlling the second functional box to operate with a second power curve, the method further includes the following steps:

[0081] When both the first and second functional boxes are in the heating stage, the first functional box is controlled to operate with the first power curve and the second functional box is controlled to operate with the second power curve. At this time, the real-time power in the first power curve is less than the real-time power in the third power curve, and the real-time power in the second power curve is less than the real-time power in the fourth power curve.

[0082] Specifically, as mentioned above, the heating power of the functional box during the preheating stage is greater than the heating power during the heating stage. When the processor determines that both the first and second functional boxes are in the heating stage, in order to make the heating time of the first and second functional boxes more even and avoid the situation where the heating time of one functional box is too long, in this application, the real-time power of the first and second functional boxes during the heating stage is reduced simultaneously. Specifically, the controller controls the real-time power in the first power curve to be less than the real-time power in the third power curve, and the real-time power in the second power curve to be less than the real-time power in the fourth power curve.

[0083] As another implementation of the power control method, the method further includes: when the second functional box stops working and the first functional box is in working state, controlling the first functional box to continue working with a third power curve; or, when the first functional box stops working and the second functional box is in working state, controlling the second functional box to continue working with a fourth power curve.

[0084] Specifically, when one functional box finishes working, in order to reduce the heating time of the other functional box, when the second functional box finishes working and the first functional box is in operation, the controller controls the first functional box to continue working with a third power curve. That is, it controls the first functional box to return to the power curve it used when operating in single-cavity mode and continues to operate, thereby increasing the heating power of the first functional box and reducing its remaining heating time. When the first functional box finishes working and the second functional box is in operation, the controller controls the second functional box to continue working with a fourth power curve. That is, it controls the second functional box to return to the power curve it used when operating in single-cavity mode and continues to operate, thereby increasing the heating power of the first functional box and reducing its remaining heating time.

[0085] As another implementation of the power control method, when the first functional box operates in the first working mode, the second functional box operates in the second working mode, and both the first functional box and the second functional box are in the heating stage, the method further includes a first heating step and a second heating step.

[0086] The first heating step includes: controlling the first heating element in the first functional box to work, controlling the second heating element in the second functional box to stop working, and executing the second heating step after a preset first time.

[0087] The second heating step includes: controlling the first heating element in the first functional box to stop working, controlling the second heating element in the second functional box to work, and executing the first heating step after a preset second time period;

[0088] Wherein, A+B>C; A is the power when the first functional box is operating in the first working mode and the first heating element is working; B is the power when the second functional box is operating in the second working mode and the second heating element is working; C is the safe power.

[0089] Specifically, although the temperature of the heating element does not immediately drop after it stops working, it can still heat the gas inside the cavity for a certain period of time. In the first heating step, the first heating element in the first functional box is controlled to work, and the second heating element in the second functional box is controlled to stop working. After a preset first time, the second heating step is executed. At this time, the temperature of the second functional box can still be maintained near the temperature of the preset heating stage. In the second heating step, the first heating element in the first functional box is controlled to stop working, and the second heating element in the second functional box is controlled to work. After a preset second time, the first heating step is executed. At this time, the second heating element starts working again, causing the second heating element to heat up again and continue to heat the cavity of the second steamer. That is to say, the first heating element and the second heating element work intermittently and alternately. Through this setting, when both cavities work simultaneously, the first and second functional boxes can meet the safety power standards while relatively reducing the heating time, thereby increasing the heating speed of food. At the same time, since the temperature in each cavity is more stable, it is also beneficial to the preparation of food.

[0093] Among them, the real-time power of the first power curve and the second power curve is less than the real-time power of the third power curve and the fourth power curve; the third power curve is the power curve of the first functional box when it operates in a single chamber under the working command corresponding to the first power curve, and the fourth power curve is the power curve of the second functional box when it operates in a single chamber under the working command corresponding to the second power curve.
