Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sterilization machine technology, and in particular to a sterilization machine control method, device, medium, electronic equipment, and sterilization machine. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing public awareness of food safety, the knife and cutting board sterilizer industry has developed rapidly, and their application scope is constantly expanding. Kitchen knives need to be sharpened regularly after use to prevent the tips from becoming dull and affecting their performance. Currently, there are no cutting board sterilizers on the market with automatic sharpening functions. Users may encounter safety hazards when sharpening knives themselves, or their knives may become duller due to unfamiliarity with sharpening techniques. Sharpening knives should also follow the principle of "heavy grinding to avoid sharpening, light grinding to correct sharpness," otherwise, the blade may have burrs that could injure the user. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization machine control method, device, medium, electronic equipment, and a knife and cutting board sterilization machine with a sharpening function, so as to solve the technical problem that existing knife and cutting board sterilization machines do not have an automatic sharpening function.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This invention provides a method for controlling a sterilizing machine, the sterilizing machine comprising a sterilization module, a hot air module, a blade sharpening assembly, and an infrared detection assembly, the method comprising:

[0006] Start the drying module of the sterilizer to dry the tableware placed on the sterilizer as required;

[0007] Once the tableware is dried, activate the sharpening mode.

[0008] Control the sharpening assembly to move towards the tool until it presses against the tool;

[0009] The sharpening assembly is controlled to rotate by a first set angle with the cutting edge of the tool as the direction;

[0010] Detect the angle of light reflected from the cutting edge of the tool;

[0011] When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the detected cutting edge is less than or equal to the set angle value b, it is determined that the tool needs to be sharpened and the sharpening process is executed.

[0012] When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the detected tool cutting edge is greater than the set angle value b, it is determined that sharpening is not required, and the shutdown procedure is executed.

[0013] The sterilizer control method provided by this invention enables automatic knife sharpening by configuring a knife sharpening component in the sterilizer, thus solving the problems of user injury, dulling of the knife after sharpening, and forgetting to sharpen the knife when sharpening it themselves.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0015] Furthermore, the grinding process includes:

[0016] Control the sharpening assembly to re-sharpen the cutting edge of the tool;

[0017] After the cutting edge is re-grinded, the relationship between the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the cutting edge and the set angle value b is re-evaluated.

[0018] If the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the tool cutting surface during re-detection is less than or equal to the set angle value b, it is determined that the tool grinding is not completed and the grinding process continues.

[0019] When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the re-detected cutting edge is greater than the set angle value b, it is determined that the cutting edge grinding is completed and the back of the tool grinding step is executed.

[0020] Furthermore, the step of performing the blade back sharpening includes:

[0021] First, control the sharpening assembly to rotate in the opposite direction by a first set angle;

[0022] Then, control the sharpening assembly to rotate a second set angle with the back of the blade as the direction;

[0023] Finally, control the sharpening assembly to lightly sharpen the back of the blade a set number of times (c);

[0024] Once the sharpening process is complete, control the sharpening assembly to return to its initial position.

[0025] Furthermore, the first set angle is 90°-a°, where a° is the optimal angle for the blade to contact the whetstone during sharpening.

[0026] Furthermore, the second set angle is 90°.

[0027] The sterilization machine control method provided by this invention automatically sets the grinding assembly to rotate to a set angle to ensure that the grinding angle is not biased, and solves the problem of not knowing the degree of grinding during grinding by using infrared sensing of the angle of light reflected from the blade surface.

[0028] The present invention provides a control device comprising:

[0029] The first control unit is used to start the drying module of the sterilizer to dry the tableware placed on the sterilizer as required.

[0030] The second control unit is used to activate the sharpening mode after the tableware drying is completed;

[0032] The third control unit is used to control the sharpening assembly to rotate a first set angle with the cutting edge as the direction;

[0033] The detection unit is used to detect the angle of light reflected from the cutting edge of the tool;

[0034] The first sharpening execution unit is used to determine that sharpening is required when the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the detected cutting edge is less than or equal to the set angle value b, and then execute the sharpening process.

[0035] The second sharpening unit is used to determine that sharpening is not required and execute the shutdown and end-of-life step when the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the detected tool cutting surface is greater than the set angle value b.

[0036] The present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, is capable of performing the method.

[0037] The present invention provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the method through the computer program.

[0038] The present invention provides a knife and cutting board sterilization machine for performing the method.

[0039] Furthermore, it includes a housing, base, blade, control components, sterilization module, hot air module, infrared detection module, and sharpening assembly, wherein:

[0040] The outer casing is disposed on the top of the base;

[0041] The outer casing is provided with a slot for placing the cutting tool;

[0042] Both the hot air module and the sterilization module are located inside the outer casing to sterilize and dry the blade.

[0043] The sharpening assembly is movably disposed within the housing and is capable of sharpening the cutting tool;

[0044] The infrared detection component is housed inside the housing and can move along with the grinding component.

[0045] The control component is electrically connected to the hot air module, the sterilization module, the infrared detection component, and the sharpening component, respectively.

[0046] The sterilizer provided by this invention is a knife and cutting board sterilizer with a sharpening function. By configuring a sharpening component and an infrared detection component, it can realize an automatic sharpening function, solving the problems of user injury, dulling of the knife after sharpening, and forgetting to sharpen the knife when sharpening it themselves. By automatically setting the sharpening component to rotate to a set angle, it ensures that the sharpening angle is not biased, solving the problem of knife placement angle bias when sharpening knives by the user. By using infrared sensing to detect the angle of light reflected from the knife blade, it solves the problem of not knowing the degree of sharpening during sharpening. Attached Figure Description

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a sterilization machine control method. By configuring a knife sharpening component in the sterilization machine, an automatic knife sharpening function can be realized, solving the problems of users easily getting injured when sharpening knives themselves, the knives becoming duller with each sharpening, and forgetting to sharpen them.

[0057] The sterilization machine used in this control method includes a sterilization module 1, a hot air module 2, a sharpening assembly 3, and an infrared detection assembly 4. The sterilization module 1 is used to sterilize the cutting tool 5; the hot air module 2 is used to dry the cutting tool 5; the infrared detection assembly 4 is used to detect the cutting tool 5; and the sharpening assembly 3 is used to sharpen the cutting tool 5. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sterilization machine control method mainly includes:

[0058] S1. Start the drying module of the sterilizer and dry the tableware placed on the sterilizer as required; it should be noted that in this embodiment, the tableware can be a knife 5;

[0059] S2. After the tableware is dried, start the sharpening mode; that is, after the knife 5 is dried, the sharpening mode is started. Whether to sharpen the knife or not depends on subsequent judgment.

[0060] S3. Control the sharpening assembly to move towards the blade until it abuts against the blade; it should be noted that in this embodiment, the blade 5 includes a handle 51 and a blade 52, and the front end of the blade 52 has a cutting edge 53 and a back 54; in this invention, the sharpening assembly 3 is controlled to move towards the blade 52 of the blade and finally abut against the connection position between the cutting edge 53 and the back 54.

[0061] S4. Control the sharpening assembly to rotate a first set angle with respect to the blade edge; wherein, the first set angle can be 90°-a°, where a° is the optimal contact angle between the blade and the whetstone during sharpening. In this embodiment, a° can be selected as 25°-35°. By rotating this first set angle, the sharpening assembly is made parallel to the blade edge, ensuring that the sharpening angle does not deviate.

[0062] S5. Use an infrared detection component to detect the angle of light reflected from the cutting edge of the tool;

[0063] S6. When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the detected cutting edge is less than or equal to the set angle value b, it is determined that the tool needs to be sharpened and the sharpening process is executed.

[0064] S7. When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the detected tool cutting edge is greater than the set angle value b, it is determined that sharpening is not required, and the shutdown procedure is executed.

[0065] Further, the sharpening process is performed, including:

[0066] Control the sharpening assembly to re-sharpen the cutting edge of the tool;

[0067] After the cutting edge is re-grinded, the relationship between the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the cutting edge and the set angle value b is re-evaluated.

[0068] If the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the tool cutting surface during re-detection is less than or equal to the set angle value b, it is determined that the tool grinding is not completed and the grinding process continues.

[0069] When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle of the re-detected cutting edge is greater than the set angle value b, it is determined that the cutting edge grinding is completed and the back of the tool grinding step is executed.

[0070] Further, the blade back sharpening step is performed, including:

[0071] First, control the sharpening assembly to rotate in the opposite direction by a first set angle;

[0072] Then, the sharpening assembly is controlled to rotate a second set angle with the back of the blade as the direction; wherein, the second set angle is 90°, and by rotating 90 degrees, the sharpening assembly can be parallel to the back of the blade, so as to sharpen the back of the blade.

[0073] Finally, control the sharpening assembly to perform a set number of light grinding cycles c on the back of the blade. It should be noted that in this embodiment, light grinding refers to the sharpening action after the sharpening assembly contacts the back of the blade and applies a small pressure. The small pressure is relative to the pressure applied when sharpening the blade surface, and it should be less than the pressure applied when sharpening the blade surface.

[0074] Once the sharpening process is complete, control the sharpening assembly to return to its initial position.

[0075] The sterilization machine control method provided by this invention automatically sets the grinding assembly to rotate to a set angle to ensure that the grinding angle is not biased, and solves the problem of not knowing the degree of grinding during grinding by using infrared sensing of the angle of light reflected from the blade surface.

[0109] The outer casing 6 is positioned on top of the base 7;

[0110] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer casing 6 is provided with a slot for placing the knife 5;

[0111] Both the hot air module 2 and the sterilization module 1 are housed inside the outer casing 6 to sterilize and dry the blade 5;

[0112] The sharpening assembly 3 is movably disposed within the housing 6 and can sharpen the cutting tool 5;

[0113] The infrared detection component 4 is housed inside the housing 6 and can move together with the grinding component 3;

[0114] The control component 8 is electrically connected to the hot air module 2, the sterilization module 1, the infrared detection component 4, and the sharpening component 3, respectively.

[0115] Among them, such as Figure 6As shown in the figure, during the process of the sharpening assembly 3 sequentially sharpening the cutting edge and the back of the tool in this embodiment, the first view in the figure is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly 3 when it is in its original position, the second view is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly 3 moving to the tool and pressing against the tool, the third view is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly sharpening the cutting edge after deflecting the first set angle, the fourth view is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly returning to pressing against the tool after sharpening the cutting edge, the fifth view is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly sharpening the back of the tool after rotating the second set angle, the sixth view is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly returning to pressing against the tool, and the seventh view is the state diagram of the sharpening assembly returning to its original position.

[0116] The sterilizer provided by this invention is a knife and cutting board sterilizer with a sharpening function. By configuring a sharpening component and an infrared detection component, it can realize an automatic sharpening function, solving the problems of user injury, dulling of the knife after sharpening, and forgetting to sharpen the knife when sharpening it themselves. By automatically setting the sharpening component to rotate to a set angle, it ensures that the sharpening angle is not biased, solving the problem of knife placement angle bias when sharpening knives by the user. By using infrared sensing to detect the angle of light reflected from the knife blade, it solves the problem of not knowing the degree of sharpening during sharpening.

[0117] like Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a control method for one embodiment of the sterilization machine of the present invention. In this embodiment,

[0118] The sterilizer includes an upper shell assembly and a base assembly. The upper shell assembly includes an outer shell 6, a hot air module 2, a sterilization module 1, a blade sharpening assembly 3, an infrared detection assembly 4, and a control assembly 8. The outer shell 6 is located above the base 7 and serves as the overall exterior component. The hot air module 2 contains a heating element and a fan, which heats the air and delivers it into the machine to accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the tableware surface. The sterilization module 1 is located on the side of the machine and is used to sterilize the tableware. The blade sharpening assembly 3 is located inside the outer shell 6 and is used for sharpening blades. The infrared detection assembly 4 is located inside the outer shell 6 and includes an infrared transmitter and receiver, located above the blade sharpening assembly 3, for detecting the blade surface. The control assembly 8 is located inside the outer shell 6 and is used to control the overall machine logic. The base 7 is located below the outer shell 6 and is used to collect dripping water from the tableware.

[0119] During use, the user places the knife 5, tableware, etc., in the designated storage area as required. After placement, the user turns on the machine and starts the sharpening mode. At this time, the hot air module 2 and sterilization module 1 of the machine are activated to sterilize and dry the tableware. After sterilization and drying are completed, the sharpening assembly 3 automatically moves forward from the initial position until it touches the knife. Then, with the blade surface as the direction, it rotates (90-a)° (a is the optimal contact angle between the knife and the whetstone during sharpening, generally 25-35°). At the same time, the infrared sensor on the sharpening assembly 3 will shoot towards the blade surface and receive the reflected angle (in the optimal case, ...). (The angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle is 0°). When the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle is detected to be ≤ the set value b, no sharpening is required, and the sharpening assembly rotates (90-a)° in the opposite direction to return to the initial position. If the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle is > the set value b, the sharpening assembly starts sharpening until it detects that the angle between the incident angle and the reflection angle is ≤ the set value b. Then, the sharpening assembly rotates (90-a)° in the opposite direction, rotating 90° with the back of the blade as the direction, to lightly grind and correct the back of the tool to avoid residual burrs. After sharpening is completed, the sharpening assembly returns to the initial position in the opposite direction of the rotation.

[0120] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
