[0002] In daily life, pasta machines are becoming more and more popular among consumers. Pasta machines can be used to make a variety of noodles. Users only need to put flour and liquid into the mixing cup and start the pasta machine to complete the mixing and processing of noodles. It is simple, convenient, and saves time and effort.

[0003] To meet consumer nutritional needs, continuous research and development of noodle varieties, such as vegetable noodles, is necessary. Currently, vegetable noodles made with pasta machines typically require manual blending of vegetables and fruit into juice before mixing with the dough, or pre-blending the juice using another machine before using the pasta machine to make the noodles. These methods are complex and cumbersome, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve, at least to a certain extent, one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, a first object of the present invention is to provide a control method for a pasta machine.

The pasta machine is controlled to knead the dough according to the preset water amount, and the pasta machine is controlled to produce dough after the dough is kneaded. In this way, the ingredients to be whipped can be automatically made into juice, and the dough can be kneaded and produced at the same time, thereby improving the automation level of the pasta machine and enhancing the user experience.

[0021] If the operating power is less than the second preset power threshold, or the operating power is greater than the third preset power threshold, the motor is controlled to reverse for a preset time.

[0035] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] The following describes a control method for a pasta machine, a control device for a pasta machine, a computer-readable storage medium, and a pasta machine according to embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 4 is a flow chart of a control method for a pasta machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the pasta machine according to the embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:

[0039] S1, when receiving a whipping instruction, controlling the motor to whip the food to be whipped according to a preset rule.

[0040] S2, obtaining the weight of the flour to be kneaded.

[0041] S3, determining a preset value of water amount according to the weight of the flour, and after determining that the whipping of the ingredients to be whipped is completed, controlling the pasta machine to knead the flour to be kneaded according to the preset value of water amount.

[0042] Specifically, when users use a pasta machine to make noodles, in order to make them more nutritious, they can choose to beat fruits, vegetables, etc. to obtain different juices. Different juices can be added when kneading the dough to form dough of different colors, which can then be pressed into noodles with diverse colors, increasing appetite and being nutritious and healthy. The pasta machine can first mix the flour in a mixing barrel to form dough, and then the dough enters the noodle extrusion barrel and is squeezed out of the outlet hole by a screw. If the noodle barrel and the noodle extrusion barrel are connected through a normally open port, a switch valve can also be set for control. Upon receiving a whipping command, the motor can be controlled to whip the ingredients to be whipped according to preset rules. For example, the ingredients can be whipped by the motor rotating forward, or the ingredients can be whipped by the motor rotating backward, or the motor can be controlled to run alternately in forward and reverse directions.

[0043] Obtain the weight of the flour to be kneaded, as the amount of flour will directly affect the kneading effect. For example, when there is less flour, if a higher proportion of water is added, the kneaded noodles will be very sticky, affecting the taste of the noodles and giving the user a poor experience. When there is more flour, if a lower proportion of water is added, the kneaded noodles will be drier, making it difficult for the pasta machine to squeeze out the noodles. Therefore, in order to knead a more chewy dough, it is necessary to determine the appropriate amount of water based on the weight of the flour. For example, the flour can be weighed using a Bluetooth scale, and the obtained flour weight can be sent to the pasta machine via Bluetooth. After the pasta machine obtains the weight of the flour to be kneaded, it determines the preset value of the amount of water based on the weight of the flour. Different flour weights correspond to different preset values ​​of the amount of water. The larger the flour weight, the larger the corresponding preset value of the amount of water, and the smaller the flour weight, the smaller the corresponding preset value of the amount of water.

[0044] After determining the preset water volume and completing the whipping process, the pasta machine controls the water pump's pumping rate based on the preset water volume. A flow meter calculates the flow rate in real time, and the pump stops when the water volume reaches the preset value. After the pump stops, the pasta machine can begin kneading the flour. After kneading is complete, the pasta machine can be controlled to produce noodles. For example, the user can select different noodle die heads to produce different types of noodles, such as wide noodles, thin round noodles, and flat noodles.

[0045] The specific working process of the control method of the pasta machine of the present invention is described in detail below.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, controlling a motor to whip ingredients according to a preset rule includes: controlling the motor to alternately rotate forward and reverse at a preset speed. The preset speed can be determined based on actual conditions. A speed of 12,000 rpm or higher achieves a better whipping effect on the ingredients. For example, the preset speed is 12,000 rpm.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, controlling the motor to alternately rotate forward and reverse at a preset speed includes: controlling the motor to intermittently rotate forward at the preset speed for a first preset time and then stop, and controlling the motor to intermittently rotate reversely at the preset speed for a second preset time and then stop, and so on, alternating until the whipped food is completely whipped. The preset speed is above 3000 rpm, and the first preset time and the second preset time are 1-10 minutes. The first preset time and the second preset time can be the same or different. For example, the first preset time and the second preset time can both be 10 seconds.

[0048] Specifically, when there are ingredients to be whipped in the mixing barrel, such as carrots, celery, and spinach, etc., placed in the pot in an appropriate amount. After putting in the ingredients to be whipped, close the barrel lid tightly to prevent the liquid from flowing out of the pot when the motor is whipping the ingredients, causing waste of ingredients and increasing the pressure on the user to clean up. When the motor is whipping the ingredients to be whipped, it can alternately rotate forward and reverse according to a preset speed. For example, the motor can be controlled to first whip the ingredients in a forward direction at a high speed of 3000 rpm, and then control the motor to whip the ingredients in a reverse direction at a high speed of 3000 rpm. The motor can also be controlled to first whip the ingredients in a reverse direction at a high speed, and then control the motor to whip the ingredients in a forward direction at a high speed. When the motor is rotating forward, it can intermittently rotate forward at a preset speed for a first preset time and then stop. For example, the motor can rotate forward at a speed of 3000 rpm for 10 seconds and then stop for 3 seconds. When the motor is reversing, it can intermittently reverse at a preset speed for a second preset time before stopping. For example, the motor can reverse at 3000 rpm for 10 seconds and then stop for 3 seconds. This process can be repeated multiple times to fully blend the ingredients. Thus, the motor alternates between forward and reverse rotation until the ingredients are fully blended and the motor stops. Compared to single forward or reverse rotation of the motor, alternating forward and reverse rotation can more thoroughly blend the ingredients. Furthermore, the motor's reverse rotation can also allow any residual vegetable or fruit juice on the inner wall of the mixing barrel to fall into the mixing barrel.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, determining whether whipping of the ingredients to be whipped is complete includes: obtaining the operating power of the pasta machine; and determining that whipping of the ingredients to be whipped is complete when the operating power is less than or equal to a first preset power and lasts for a third preset time. The first preset power is between 20W and 200W, and the third preset time is between 5 seconds and 5 minutes. For example, the first preset power may be 100W, and the third preset time may be 10 seconds.

[0050] Specifically, when whipping the ingredients to be whipped, it can be determined whether the whipping is complete based on the operating power of the pasta machine. First, the operating power of the pasta machine is obtained. The operating power of the pasta machine refers to the input power of the pasta machine, that is, the power of the entire pasta machine when it is working normally. Generally, the operating power of the pasta machine is mainly the motor power. Therefore, the operating power of the pasta machine can be obtained by detecting the motor power. For example, the current of the motor can be detected by a current sensor, and the operating power of the pasta machine can be determined based on the relationship between the current and the voltage. When performing power detection, the detection can be performed once every 200 milliseconds. After obtaining the operating power of the pasta machine, the operating power is judged. When the operating power is less than or equal to the first preset power for a third preset time, it means that the juice of the ingredients to be whipped has been extracted into the mixing barrel, and it is determined that the whipping of the ingredients to be whipped is complete.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method for controlling the pasta machine further comprises: when the operating power is greater than a first preset power, controlling the water pump to pump water into the mixing barrel according to a preset water volume until the operating power is less than or equal to the first preset power, thereby determining that the whipping of the ingredients is complete. The preset water volume can be determined based on actual conditions.

[0052] Specifically, after obtaining the operating power of the pasta machine, the operating power is judged. When the operating power is greater than the first preset power, it means that the moisture content of the ingredients to be whipped is low and has not been beaten into juice. The ingredients to be whipped have not been whipped completely. The water pump can be controlled to pump water into the mixing barrel according to the preset water volume. For example, the water pump can be controlled to pump 5 ml of water into the mixing barrel every 20 seconds. After the water pump pumps water, it continues to detect the operating power of the pasta machine until the operating power is less than or equal to the first preset power. It is determined that the ingredients to be whipped are whipped completely, and the water pump is stopped from pumping water into the mixing barrel.

[0053] According to another embodiment of the present invention, determining whether whipping of the food to be whipped is complete includes: obtaining a whipping time for the food to be whipped; and determining that whipping of the food to be whipped is complete when the whipping time reaches a preset whipping time. The preset whipping time can be determined based on actual conditions, for example, different preset whipping times can be set based on the type of food to be whipped.

[0054] Specifically, when whipping the ingredients to be whipped, not only can it be determined whether the whipping is complete based on the operating power of the pasta machine, but it can also be judged based on the whipping time of the ingredients to be whipped. First, the whipping time of the ingredients to be whipped is obtained. For example, the whipping time can be obtained through a timer. After obtaining the whipping time, the whipping time is compared with the preset whipping time. Among them, when the whipping time is greater than or equal to the preset whipping time (for example, ten minutes), it means that the juice of the ingredients to be whipped has been extracted into the mixing barrel, and it is determined that the whipping of the ingredients to be whipped is complete; when the whipping time is less than the preset whipping time, it means that the ingredients to be whipped have not yet been whipped, and the ingredients to be whipped can continue to be whipped until the whipping time reaches the preset whipping time, and the whipping is stopped.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, determining a preset value of water volume according to the weight of flour includes: obtaining the type of flour for kneading; determining a water-to-flour ratio according to the type of flour; and determining a preset value of water volume according to the weight of flour and the water-to-flour ratio.

[0056] Specifically, after determining that the whipping of the ingredients to be whipped is complete, the weight of the flour to be kneaded is obtained. Different flour weights correspond to different preset water values, and the corresponding preset water value can be determined based on the weight of the flour. First, the type of flour to be kneaded is obtained. Different flour types correspond to different water-to-powder ratios, such as the water-to-powder ratio of gluten noodles is 35%, and the water-to-powder ratio of ordinary noodles is 50%. After determining the water-to-powder ratio based on the flour type, the preset water value can be calculated based on the flour weight and the water-to-powder ratio. For example, the preset water value is the product of the flour weight and the water-to-powder ratio. Therefore, determining the preset water value based on different flour weights can improve the success rate of making noodles.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the pasta machine also includes: obtaining the liquid height in the mixing barrel; correcting the preset water volume value according to the liquid height, and controlling the pasta machine to knead the flour to be kneaded according to the corrected preset water volume value.

[0058] Specifically, after determining the preset value of the water volume based on the weight of the flour, in order to further improve the success rate of making noodles, the preset value of the water volume can also be corrected. First, obtain the liquid height in the mixing barrel, and correct the preset value of the water volume according to the liquid height. For example, when the liquid height in the mixing barrel is low, the preset value of the water volume can be increased; when the liquid height in the mixing barrel is high, the preset value of the water volume can be reduced. After determining the corrected preset value of the water volume, water can be added to knead the noodles. The water can be pumped by a water pump. The water pumped by the water pump passes through a flow meter, and the flow rate is calculated in real time. When the obtained water volume reaches the corrected preset value of the water volume, the water pump stops working. After the water pump stops working, the pasta machine can first knead the noodles for four minutes, then let the noodles rest for four minutes, and finally enter the noodle making stage.

[0059] It should be noted that if the water pump is controlled to pump water into the mixing barrel according to the preset water volume during the process of beating the ingredients, then when determining the preset water volume value based on the weight of the flour, the preset water volume value needs to be subtracted from the amount of water pumped during the beating process.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the dough kneading is completed, the pasta machine is controlled to produce dough, wherein controlling the pasta machine to produce dough includes: determining the dough production time of the pasta machine according to the weight of the flour; when the working time of the pasta machine reaches the dough production time, determining that the pasta machine has completed dough production.

[0061] Specifically, when the dough kneading process reaches a certain time, for example, after kneading the dough for four minutes and letting the dough rest for four minutes (letting the dough rest can restore the protein in the dough to its proper spatial configuration, improve the dough's elasticity and ductility. When more chewy noodles are needed, the resting time can be longer. For example, eight minutes of resting the dough can make the noodles more resilient and less likely to break), it is determined that the dough kneading process is completed and the pasta machine can be controlled to produce noodles. The noodle production time of the pasta machine can be determined according to the weight of the flour. For example, when the flour weight is light, the noodle production time of the pasta machine can be 10-25 minutes; when the flour weight is heavy, the noodle production time of the pasta machine can be 45-50 minutes; when the flour weight is moderate, the noodle production time of the pasta machine can be 25-35 minutes. When the working time of the pasta machine reaches the noodle production time, it can be determined that the noodle production of the pasta machine is completed.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, during the process of controlling the pasta machine to produce noodles, the method for controlling the pasta machine further includes: detecting and identifying the operating power of the pasta machine; and determining that the pasta machine has completed producing noodles when the operating power is less than a second preset power threshold. The second preset power threshold can be determined based on actual conditions, for example, the second preset power threshold can be 100W.

[0063] Specifically, during the noodle-making stage of the pasta machine, the operating power of the pasta machine is detected and identified. When the operating power of the pasta machine is less than a second preset power threshold, the pasta machine enters low-power processing, indicating that the current noodles have been mixed and the motor is in an idling state. At this time, there is no need to wait until the working time of the pasta machine reaches the noodle-making time to determine that the noodle making of the pasta machine is completed and the pasta machine is controlled to stop working. This makes it convenient for customers to use a small amount of flour to make noodles without having to wait until the noodle-making time is reached, shortening the time for users to enjoy noodles and improving the user experience.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if the operating power is greater than a third preset power threshold, the pasta machine is controlled to enter a fault protection state, wherein the second preset power threshold is less than the third preset power threshold; if the operating power is greater than or equal to the second preset power threshold and less than or equal to the third preset power threshold, the pasta machine is controlled to operate for a noodle-making time; if the operating power is less than the second preset power threshold or greater than the third preset power threshold, the motor is controlled to reverse for a preset time. The third preset power threshold can be determined based on actual conditions, for example, the third preset power threshold can be 250W, and the preset time can be determined based on actual conditions, for example, the preset time can be 30 seconds.

[0065] Specifically, during the pasta machine's noodle-making stage, the operating power of the pasta machine is detected and identified. When the operating power of the pasta machine is greater than a third preset power threshold, for example, when the operating power of the pasta machine is greater than 250W, the motor of the pasta machine is controlled to be blocked, and the pasta machine enters a fault protection mode for safety protection, thereby improving the reliability of the pasta machine.

[0066] When the operating power of the pasta machine is greater than or equal to the second preset power threshold and the operating power is less than or equal to the third preset power threshold, for example, the operating power of the pasta machine is greater than or equal to 100W and the operating power of the pasta machine is less than or equal to 250W, the working time of the pasta machine is controlled to reach the noodle making time, thereby controlling the pasta machine to make noodles according to the corresponding noodle making time.

[0067] When the pasta maker's operating power is less than a second preset power threshold or greater than a third preset power threshold, the machine is controlled to reverse for a preset time (e.g., 30 seconds) and then retest its operating power. This prevents false triggering of power shortages caused by low or high operating power, improving detection accuracy. Furthermore, since dough is sticky and some dough may adhere to the cup, the motor's reversal can reintegrate these dough fragments into the dough, avoiding flour waste and facilitating cleaning of accessories.

[0068] In addition, in order to make the pasta machine produce better noodles, when the pasta machine is producing noodles, the fan of the pasta machine can be controlled to turn on and blow air all the time to ensure the dryness of the noodles and prevent the noodles from sticking together, thereby making more delicious noodles for users to enjoy.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, before determining the preset water amount based on the weight of the flour, the control method of the pasta machine further includes: controlling the pasta machine to issue an alarm when determining that the weight of the flour is not within a preset weight range. The preset weight range can be determined based on actual conditions, for example, the preset weight range can be 200g-800g.

[0070] Specifically, before determining the preset water value based on the weight of the flour, it is necessary to first determine whether the flour weight is within the preset weight range. When the flour weight is less than 200g, it is difficult for the pasta machine to successfully produce noodles because there is too little flour; when the flour weight is greater than 800g, the pasta machine will be overloaded, affecting the life of the pasta machine. Therefore, when the flour weight is not within the preset weight range, the pasta machine can be controlled to issue an alarm reminder. For example, the user can be prompted through voice broadcast so that when the flour weight is small, more flour can be added according to the actual situation to ensure that noodles can be successfully produced, or when the flour weight is large, some flour can be reduced according to the actual situation to avoid overloading the pasta machine.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when controlling the motor to whip the food to be whipped according to a preset rule, the control method of the pasta machine further includes: controlling the heating tube of the pasta machine to perform intermittent heating.

[0072] Specifically, in order to reduce the time the pasta machine takes to whip the ingredients and achieve a better whipping effect, the heating tube of the pasta machine can be controlled to work, and the heating tube can intermittently heat the mixing barrel. For example, the heating tube can be heated at intervals, working for 6 seconds and resting for 4 seconds. In this way, the intermittent heating of the heating tube of the pasta machine can increase the temperature, making it easier to whip vegetables or fruits (especially frozen ingredients) into juice.

[0073] The following combination Figure 2 The control method of the present invention will be described.

[0074] As a specific example, the control method of the pasta machine of the present invention may include the following steps:

[0075] S101, when receiving a whipping instruction, controlling the motor to whip the food to be whipped according to a preset rule.

[0076] S102, obtaining the operating power of the pasta machine.

[0077] S103, determining whether the operating power of the pasta machine is less than 100 W after continuous detection for 10 seconds. If yes, proceed to step S105; if not, proceed to step S104.
