[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear, the application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application, and are not used to limit the application.

[0045] As described in the foregoing background, existing cooking devices including detachable heat preservation cover plates, such as electric rice cookers, electric pressure cookers and the like, often only prompt the user to clean the pot inside the electric rice cooker when a cleaning prompt alarm is given, and monitor the cleaning effect of the pot inside the electric rice cooker, ignoring the monitoring of the detachable heat preservation cover plate. Since the electric rice cooker is a household appliance that is used very frequently in daily life, under the condition of long-term use and neglect of cleaning, a large amount of dirt or bacteria is very easy to accumulate on the heat preservation cover plate, thereby affecting the taste and safety of the cooking device when cooking food.

[0046] The cooking device cleaning monitoring method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the cooking device 100 as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The cooking device 100 includes a control component 110, a displacement monitoring component 120, a temperature monitoring component 130, a display component 140, an alarm component 150, and a heat preservation cover plate. Taking the cooking device 100 as an electric rice cooker as an example, the heat preservation cover plate can be arranged on the electric rice cooker body away from the side of the steam valve cover, and the heat preservation cover plate will be in contact with the steam generated in the cooking process inside the electric rice cooker. It should be noted that the arrangement position of the heat preservation cover plate in the electric rice cooker in the embodiments can be determined according to the specific type of the electric rice cooker in the actual application scenario.

[0047] In the embodiments, the control component 110 is connected to the displacement monitoring component 120, the temperature monitoring component 130, the display component 140, and the alarm component 150, respectively. The displacement monitoring component 120 is arranged inside the cooking device 100 and is used to monitor the displacement state of the heat preservation cover plate installed in the cooking device 100. The temperature monitoring component 130 is arranged inside the cooking device 100 and is used to monitor the temperature data inside the cooking device 100. In the embodiments, the displacement monitoring component 120 includes any one or more of infrared sensors, microswitches, Hall sensors and the like for detecting displacement or distance. The temperature monitoring component 130 includes any one or more of temperature sensors, temperature probes and the like for collecting temperature data.

[0048] The display component 140 can be a display screen or an indicator light for displaying the real-time state of the cooking device 100 and the key input condition, and the alarm component 150 can be a buzzer or a loudspeaker for voice broadcast processing or sound prompt. In the embodiments, the display component 140 and the alarm component 150 can be arranged at the specified position of the cooking device 100 according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0049] In the embodiment, the control component 110 can be used to receive the data collected by each component, and also send corresponding control instructions to each component to cooperate to implement the corresponding cooking program and cleaning monitoring program. In the embodiment, the cleaning monitoring program is run in real time after the control component 110 is powered on, so as to ensure that the real-time monitoring of the cleaning state of the heat preservation cover plate can be realized, and the cooking parameters of the cooking device 100 are monitored at the same time, so as to timely remind the user to clean the heat preservation cover plate.

[0050] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , a cooking device cleaning monitoring method is provided, which is taken as an example of the cooking device in Figure 1 for illustration, including the following steps:

[0051] S201, obtaining the current time, the historical cleaning time of the heat preservation cover plate, the time difference between the historical cleaning time and the current time, and the continuous cooking number, wherein the historical cleaning time is the time of the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate, and the continuous cooking number is the cooking number recorded by the cooking device from the historical cleaning time to the current time.

[0052] In the embodiment, the current time is the real-time time after the cooking device is powered on, and the cooking device can be in any state at the current time, for example, the cooking device can be in a cooking state or a normal heat preservation state. It is known that the cooking device in the embodiment is preferably an electric rice cooker including a heat preservation cover plate. The corresponding cooking state of the electric rice cooker includes a rice cooking heating state, a soup cooking heating state, etc.

[0053] The historical cleaning time of the heat preservation cover plate is the time of the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate. Since the heat preservation cover plate needs to be taken off from the cooking device when it is cleaned, the embodiment records the time when the heat preservation cover plate is taken off to realize the recording of the cleaning time of the heat preservation cover plate. It is known that in the daily use process, the heat preservation cover plate will be fixed at a specified position inside the cooking device, and the heat preservation cover plate in the embodiment is a detachable heat preservation cover plate.

[0054] The time difference between the historical cleaning time and the current time represents the time that has passed since the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate.

[0055] The continuous cooking number represents the total number of cooking programs executed by the cooking device after the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate.

[0056] The control component in the embodiment can collect and record the above data, so as to facilitate the subsequent judgment of whether the user needs to be reminded to clean the heat preservation cover plate and whether the cooking program is normally executed.

[0057] S202, if the time difference is less than a preset time threshold, and the continuous cooking number is less than a preset number threshold, it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate is in a cleaning state.

[0058] In this embodiment, if the time difference is less than the preset time threshold, it indicates that the time elapsed since the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate is less than the preset time threshold, and the heat preservation cover plate is relatively clean. It should be noted that the preset time threshold can be adaptively configured according to the needs of the actual application scene.

[0059] If the continuous cooking number is less than the preset number threshold, it indicates that the total number of cooking programs executed by the cooking device after the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate is less than the preset number threshold, and the heat preservation cover plate is not contaminated by steam and is relatively clean.

[0060] In the case where the above two conditions are met, it can be determined that the heat preservation cover plate is in a clean state. If any of the above two conditions is not met, that is, if the time difference is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, or the continuous cooking number is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold, it can be determined that the heat preservation cover plate is in a non-clean state.

[0061] S203, if the time difference is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, or the continuous cooking number is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold, it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate is in a non-clean state, and the cooking device is controlled to perform a cleaning reminder until the state of the heat preservation cover plate is converted to a clean state.

[0062] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate is in a non-clean state, the heat preservation cover plate is at risk of being contaminated. It should be noted that determining that the heat preservation cover plate is in a non-clean state does not necessarily mean that the heat preservation cover plate is severely contaminated, but only means that the heat preservation cover plate is at risk of being contaminated, and the contamination process of the heat preservation cover plate can be determined by the user after inspection. However, since the heat preservation cover plate is at risk of being contaminated, the user needs to disassemble the heat preservation cover plate to determine the degree of contamination and to clean the heat preservation cover plate.

[0063] After it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate is in a non-clean state in this embodiment, the cooking device is controlled to perform a cleaning reminder to prompt the user to disassemble the heat preservation cover plate for cleaning, and the state of the heat preservation cover plate is not determined to be converted to a clean state until the user reassembles the heat preservation cover plate back to the cooking device.

[0064] In summary, the present embodiment provides a cooking device cleaning monitoring method, which can accurately identify the contamination risk of the heat preservation cover plate by monitoring the cleaning time of the heat preservation cover plate in the cooking device and the continuous cooking number of the cooking device, and timely remind the user, thereby avoiding the user from neglecting to clean the details of the corresponding cooking device after using the cooking device, and greatly improving the safety of the cooking device for cooking food.

[0065] In an embodiment, the cooking device comprises a displacement monitoring assembly arranged inside the cooking device and configured to monitor the displacement state of the heat preservation cover plate. It should be noted that the displacement monitoring assembly in this embodiment can be any one or more of an infrared detector, a microswitch, and a Hall sensor. The displacement monitoring assembly in this embodiment can be used to monitor the displacement state of the heat preservation cover plate in real time. The displacement monitoring assembly is internally provided with a power supply, and the power supply in the displacement monitoring assembly can be supplemented when the cooking device is powered on, so as to realize full-time monitoring of the displacement state of the heat preservation cover plate.

[0066] The cooking device cleaning monitoring method further comprises:

[0067] S301, acquiring displacement data collected by the displacement monitoring assembly.

[0068] S302, if the displacement data is greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold, determining that the heat preservation cover plate is in a removed state.

[0069] S303, if the heat preservation cover plate is in the removed state, recording the removal time of the heat preservation cover plate, resetting the historical cleaning time to the removal time, and resetting the continuous cooking number.

[0070] In this embodiment, the heat preservation cover plate will only produce a large range of displacement when it is removed. The displacement monitoring assembly collects displacement data of the heat preservation cover plate in real time, and when the displacement data is greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold, it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate is removed, the real-time state of the heat preservation cover plate is recorded, and it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate enters the removed state. It should be noted that the preset distance threshold can be determined according to the specific type of the cooking device such as a rice cooker in the actual application scenario, which is not limited here.

[0071] This embodiment records the time when the heat preservation cover plate enters the removed state as the removal time of the heat preservation cover plate. After the heat preservation cover plate enters the removed state, the historical cleaning time is updated, and the historical cleaning time is reset to the removal time, so as to record the time of the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate.

[0072] And after the heat preservation cover plate is removed, the control assembly defaults that the heat preservation cover plate is cleaned, and the continuous cooking number is reset. For example, if the removal time when the heat preservation cover plate is removed is 13:14 on May 20, 2023, the historical cleaning time is 18:32 on May 15, 2023, and the continuous cooking number is 8, when the displacement data collected by the displacement monitoring assembly is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, it is determined that the heat preservation cover plate is removed, at this time, the historical cleaning time is reset to 13:14 on May 20, 2023, and the continuous cooking number is reset to 0. It should be noted that the continuous cooking number can also be directly reset to 1, and the specific value of the continuous cooking number after reset in this embodiment is not limited, and can be configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0073] In one of the embodiments, the cooking device comprises a temperature monitoring component, and the method further comprises:

[0074] S401, obtaining a real-time cooking state of the cooking device and temperature data collected by the temperature monitoring component.

[0075] S402, if the real-time cooking state belongs to a preset state and the temperature data is greater than a preset temperature threshold, or the real-time cooking state belongs to a cooking state after the preset state, recording a current cooking frequency and accumulating a continuous cooking frequency.

[0076] S403, if the real-time cooking state belongs to a cooking state before the preset state, or belongs to the preset state and the temperature data is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, not recording the current cooking frequency.

[0077] In the embodiment, it is necessary to make clear that the cooking state can include multiple heating stages. For example, the cooking state of the electric rice cooker can include a first soaking stage, a first heating stage, a second heating stage, and a third heating stage, wherein the third heating stage can also be understood as a constant temperature heating stage. The preset state in the embodiment is any state when the cooking device has not completely entered the constant temperature heating state. It is known that the preset state in the embodiment can be configured as the second heating state, or can be adaptively configured as a certain critical state of the cooking device in the cooking process according to the actual application scene, such as a cooking stage in which the water temperature of the pot body inside the cooking device has not reached a gaseous cooking stage.

[0078] In the process of recording the current cooking frequency, if the cooking device has not reached the critical state, i.e., the real-time cooking state belongs to a cooking state before the preset state, or in the heating stage of the critical state, the heating has not reached the preset temperature threshold, i.e., it belongs to the preset state and the temperature data is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, if a power failure of the cooking device occurs, the current cooking frequency can not be recorded.

[0079] And if the cooking device reaches the critical state and has been heated above the preset temperature threshold, i.e., the real-time cooking state belongs to the preset state and the temperature data is greater than the preset temperature threshold, or has entered the steam stage, i.e., the real-time cooking state belongs to a cooking state after the preset state, even if the cooking device has a power failure, the current cooking frequency needs to be further recorded, and the current cooking frequency is accumulated to the continuous cooking frequency.

[0080] In the embodiment, the step of accumulating the continuous cooking frequency can be to make the count value of the continuous cooking frequency +1.

[0081] The cooking number recording mode of steps S401-S403 can effectively ensure that the cooking device accurately records the actual execution number of the cooking process, i.e., the number of times that the cooking device generates water vapor. The monitoring of the cooking state by the temperature monitoring component and the control component can avoid the situation that the cooking device fails to record the current cooking number or repeatedly records the cooking number when the cooking device is restarted after a sudden power failure.

[0082] In one of the embodiments, the cooking device cleaning monitoring method further includes:

[0083] S501, if the cooking device is powered on and is not in the cooking state, and the heat preservation cover plate is in the non-cleaning state, the cooking device is controlled to perform a cleaning reminder, and the cooking device is limited to enter the cooking state until the state of the heat preservation cover plate is converted to the cleaning state.

[0084] S502, if the cooking device is powered on and is in the cooking state, and the heat preservation cover plate is in the non-cleaning state, the cooking device is controlled to perform a cleaning reminder, and the cooking device is limited to enter the cooking state after the cooking device exits the cooking state until the state of the heat preservation cover plate is converted to the cleaning state.

[0085] In this embodiment, if the heat preservation cover plate is in the non-cleaning state, the user can be forced to clean the heat preservation cover plate by limiting the cooking device to enter the cooking state, so as to prevent the contaminated heat preservation cover plate from affecting the food cooked by the cooking device.

[0086] The cooking device in this embodiment can effectively deal with the power failure of the cooking device. If the cooking device is in the cooking state before the power failure when the cooking device is powered on, the cooking instruction corresponding to the cooking state can be continued to be executed. If the cooking device is in the cooking state and the heat preservation cover plate is in the non-cleaning state when the cooking device is powered on, the cooking device can be limited to enter the cooking state after the cooking is completed.

[0087] In specific embodiments, the step of limiting the cooking device to enter the cooking state can include displaying a prompt of "the current heat preservation cover plate has a pollution risk, please confirm whether to cook" on the display panel of the cooking device. The alarm of the cooking device can also be controlled to realize preset sound alarm to prompt the user to clean the heat preservation cover plate first.

[0088] It should be noted that the cooking device cannot normally perform the heating action when it is limited to enter the cooking state. For example, for an electric rice cooker, the user cannot start the electric rice cooker to cook rice by pressing a button or rotating a knob, and the prompt device of the electric rice cooker will remind the user to clean the heat preservation cover plate in real time. The user needs to remove the heat preservation cover plate and clean it according to the instructions.

[0089] In one embodiment, the cooking device further comprises a display component and an alarm component, and the control of the cooking device to perform the cleaning reminder comprises:

[0090] sending the cleaning prompt information to a preset terminal;

[0091] and / or controlling the display component to display the cleaning prompt information;

[0092] and / or controlling the alarm component to play the cleaning prompt alarm.

[0093] In the present embodiment, the step of sending the cleaning prompt information to a preset terminal can be sending a prompt message to a bound user mobile terminal to inform the user that the heat preservation cover plate needs to be cleaned.

[0094] The display of the cleaning prompt information by the display component can be the display of information prompting that the heat preservation cover plate needs to be cleaned through an LED indicator light or a display screen.

[0095] The playing of the cleaning prompt alarm by the alarm component can be the playing of a voice alarm prompt through a buzzer, a loudspeaker or a sound playing device to inform the user that the heat preservation cover plate needs to be cleaned.

[0096] The manner of the cleaning reminder by the cooking device can be one of the above three manners, or any two of the above three manners, or the simultaneous execution of the above three manners.

[0097] In some embodiments, the alarm manner of the cleaning reminder can also be determined according to the risk degree of contamination of the heat preservation cover plate. For example, if the time elapsed since the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate is greater than or equal to a maximum time threshold, or the number of continuous cooking of the cooking device is greater than a maximum number threshold, the above three manners can be simultaneously executed for the alarm. If the time elapsed since the last cleaning of the heat preservation cover plate is less than the maximum time threshold, and the number of continuous cooking of the cooking device is less than the maximum number threshold, and the cleaning reminder is needed, any one or two of the above three manners can be used for the alarm.

[0098] To sum up, the embodiment provides a cooking equipment cleaning monitoring method, which can realize accurate monitoring of the movement of the heat preservation cover plate and the number of cooking times through the displacement monitoring component and the temperature monitoring component arranged in the cooking equipment, can effectively count the number of cooking times of the cooking equipment, can timely remind the user to clean the heat preservation cover plate used for a long time, can guarantee the cleanliness of the cooking equipment, and can improve the quality and safety of the cooked food of the cooking equipment. The cooking equipment provided in the embodiment can effectively recover the number of cooking times and the cooking stage in a power-off state, avoids zeroing the number of cooking times after the power-off of the cooking equipment, and thus causes the cooking equipment to fail to timely remind the user to clean the cooking equipment. The cooking equipment provided in the embodiment has multiple prompt alarm processing modes, and can effectively avoid the omission of cleaning the cooking equipment by the user.

[0099] It should be understood that, although each step in the flowchart involved in each embodiment as described above is displayed in sequence according to the arrow, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the arrow. Unless otherwise specified herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and these steps can be executed in other sequences.

[0100] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides a cooking equipment cleaning monitoring device for implementing the cooking equipment cleaning monitoring method as described above.
