[0024] The above drawings have shown clear embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail later. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0026] With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, the convenience of food has become the focus of people's attention. Especially for most office workers, cooking a delicious breakfast for themselves in a short time and quickly can not only ensure working time, but also ensure the ritual sense of breakfast. At present, there are many kinds of food that can be cooked quickly. For example, quick-frozen dumplings, buns, steamed buns and other quick-frozen pastry foods, corn, sweet potatoes and other cereal foods, egg custard and other egg and milk foods are all foods that can be cooked quickly.

[0027] However, in the cooking process, traditional steamers or stoves have the problem of long cooking time. Microwaves are a cooking method that can quickly heat food. However, microwave cooking of pastry foods that need to be steamed often makes the food dry and hard, and it is difficult to achieve the soft and fluffy taste of pure steaming. For cereals and potatoes, microwaves can easily make the food dry and hard. And for egg custard foods, it is easy to have problems such as fluttering, large pores, and undercookedness.

[0028] In view of the above situation, the present application proposes an intelligent cooking device that combines a microwave and a steamer. The combination of microwave and steamer can save 50% of the cooking time compared to traditional steaming, while ensuring that the taste of food is not significantly different from pure steaming. In order to further improve the cooking efficiency of the intelligent cooking device, the present application also adds a baking tube to the intelligent cooking device. The baking tube only plays an auxiliary heating role in all cooking and has no significant effect on the cooking results. In addition, in order to match the cooking effects of different foods, the present application also sets different cooking programs for different foods. The cooking program corresponding to each food can include multiple cooking stages. Each cooking stage can correspond to a different cooking method. Each cooking stage can correspond to a different food temperature. In addition, in order to better cook foods of different weights, the present application can also adjust the cooking program according to the weight of the food to achieve better cooking effects.

[0029] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The automatic cooking method of food provided in this application is implemented by a smart cooking device and includes the following steps:

[0031] S101. In a process of heating food based on a cooking program corresponding to the food, the food is heated according to a cooking time corresponding to a current cooking stage in the cooking program. The cooking program includes a plurality of cooking stages. The cooking time is determined based on the current temperature of the food and / or the weight information of the food.

[0032] In this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device executes the cooking program corresponding to the food. Optionally, different foods may correspond to different cooking programs. Each cooking program may include multiple cooking stages. Different cooking programs correspond to different cooking stages. For example, the cooking program corresponding to pastry-like foods is different from the cooking program corresponding to cereals and potatoes. For another example, the cooking program corresponding to pastry-like foods may include 4 cooking stages. Among them, the cooking method of the first cooking stage may be continuous intervention of medium-high power pure microwaves. The cooking method of the second cooking stage may be continuous intervention of medium-low power microwaves + medium-high duty cycle intervention of steam + auxiliary heating by baking tubes. The intelligent cooking device can heat the food according to the cooking method of the cooking stage currently being executed. In order to further improve the cooking efficiency and cooking effect, in this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device can dynamically adjust the cooking time of each cooking stage according to the current temperature and / or weight information of the food after obtaining the current temperature of the food and / or the weight information of the food.

[0033] The automatic cooking method for food provided in the embodiment of the present application optimizes the control of the cooking time by dynamically adjusting the cooking time of each cooking stage of the cooking program according to the current temperature of the food and / or the weight information of the food, thereby improving the cooking efficiency and shortening the cooking time while ensuring the cooking effect.

[0034] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process of automatic cooking method for food provided in this application Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, when the intelligent cooking device determines the cooking time based on the current temperature of the food, in step S101, the specific process of the intelligent cooking device heating the food according to the cooking time corresponding to the current cooking stage in the cooking program may include the following steps:

[0035] S201: adjusting the remaining cooking time in the cooking time according to the current temperature and the upper temperature limit corresponding to the current cooking stage. The remaining cooking time represents the time required to complete the current cooking stage.

[0036] In this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device may store the temperature upper limit value corresponding to the current cooking stage. After obtaining the current temperature, the intelligent cooking device may determine the adjustment strategy for the cooking time according to the current temperature and the temperature upper limit value. The intelligent cooking device may calculate the remaining cooking time of the current cooking stage according to the adjustment strategy.

[0037] The time from the beginning to the end of the current cooking stage may be the cooking time of the current cooking stage. The cooking time may be classified into a historical cooking time and a remaining cooking time. The historical cooking time may be the time from the beginning of the current cooking stage to the current moment. The remaining cooking time may be the time required from the current moment to the end of the current cooking stage. Since the historical cooking time is the time that has been completed and cannot be changed, in this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device may directly adjust the remaining cooking time, thereby adjusting the cooking time of the entire current cooking stage.

[0038] Optionally, the current temperature may be the temperature of the food obtained by the intelligent cooking device through a temperature measuring unit disposed therein. Optionally, when multiple temperature measuring units are included, the current temperature may also be the temperature obtained by the intelligent cooking device after calculation based on multiple temperatures detected by the multiple temperature measuring units. Optionally, the temperature measuring unit may obtain the temperature of the food in real time. Alternatively, the temperature measuring unit may obtain the temperature of the food periodically. Optionally, the period may be 10s, 20s, 30s, etc.

[0039] Optionally, the temperature measuring unit may be an infrared temperature measuring unit. Optionally, the temperature of the food may be the temperature of the surface of the food.

[0040] In one example, the intelligent cooking device can determine the adjustment strategy of the cooking time by comparing the current temperature with the upper temperature limit. The specific process may include:

[0041] Step 11: If it is determined that the current temperature is less than the upper temperature limit corresponding to the current cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device may continue to heat the food in the current cooking stage according to the remaining cooking time.

[0042] Step 12: If it is determined that the current temperature is greater than or equal to the upper temperature limit corresponding to the current cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device can adjust the remaining cooking time to 0 and end the heating of the food in the current cooking stage.

[0043] Among them, the intelligent cooking device may store the temperature upper limit value of the current cooking stage. When the temperature reaches the temperature upper limit value, the intelligent cooking device may determine that the cooking of the current cooking stage is completed. The intelligent cooking device may enter the next cooking stage. Therefore, the intelligent cooking device may adjust the remaining cooking time to 0 when it is determined that the current temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature upper limit value corresponding to the current cooking stage. After the remaining cooking time is adjusted to 0, the intelligent cooking device may complete the cooking of the current cooking stage and enter the next cooking stage. Otherwise, if the current temperature does not reach the temperature upper limit value, it means that the cooking of the current cooking stage is not completed. At this time, the intelligent cooking device may continue to perform cooking in the current cooking stage. During the cooking process of the intelligent cooking device performing the current cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device may heat the food using the cooking method corresponding to the current cooking stage.

[0044] However, if the current temperature does not reach the upper temperature limit, the smart cooking device at the current moment only needs to continue cooking in the current cooking stage. However, for the entire current cooking stage, the smart cooking device can update the cooking time of the current cooking stage according to the current temperature.

[0045] Specifically, the intelligent cooking device can adjust the remaining cooking time in the cooking time according to the historical temperature at the last moment, the current temperature and the upper temperature limit. Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0046] Step 21, determining a first heating rate according to the difference between the historical temperature at the last moment and the current temperature, and the time difference between the last moment and the current moment.

[0047] In this step, the intelligent cooking device can obtain the historical temperature of the previous moment. Optionally, the previous moment can be any moment before the current moment during the execution of the current cooking stage. The intelligent cooking device can calculate the difference between the historical temperature and the current temperature. The difference is the temperature difference. The intelligent cooking device can also calculate the time difference between the previous moment and the current moment. The intelligent cooking device can determine the first heating speed according to the ratio of the temperature difference to the time difference. The first heating speed is used to indicate the temperature increase speed in the current cooking stage.

[0048] Step 22: Determine the adjusted remaining cooking time according to the difference between the current temperature and the upper temperature limit, and the first heating rate.

[0049] In this step, the intelligent cooking device can calculate the difference between the current temperature and the upper temperature limit, and can calculate the ratio of the temperature difference to the first heating rate to obtain the remaining cooking time.

[0050] In another example, the smart cooking device can also adjust the remaining cooking time according to the current temperature and the current weight at the same time, thereby improving the calculation accuracy of the remaining cooking time. When the weight information of the food is the current weight of the food, the smart cooking device can also update the remaining cooking time through the following steps:

[0051] Step 31: using a preset duration model, according to the current weight, determine the duration coefficient corresponding to the current weight in the current cooking stage. The duration model is used to determine the cooking duration according to the current weight.

[0052] In this step, a preset duration model may be set in the smart cooking device. Alternatively, a preset duration model may be set in the smart cooking device for each cooking program. Alternatively, a preset duration model may be set in the smart cooking device for each cooking stage in each cooking program. The smart cooking device may obtain the duration model. After obtaining the current weight of the food, the smart cooking device may input the current weight into the duration model and obtain the duration coefficient output by the model.

[0053] Optionally, the current weight can be obtained by a weight sensor disposed in a food placement area inside the intelligent cooking device.

[0054] Optionally, the duration model may be a weight ratio calculation formula set according to a standard weight. For example, a standard weight may be set for each cooking stage in each cooking program. The duration model may calculate the ratio of the standard weight to the current weight, and use the ratio as the duration coefficient. Specifically, the duration coefficient may be determined according to the quotient of the current weight divided by the standard deviation.

[0055] Step 32: adjust the remaining cooking time according to the time coefficient.

[0056] In this step, the intelligent cooking device can determine the adjusted remaining cooking time according to the product of the remaining cooking time and the time coefficient.

[0057] S202: Heat the food according to the remaining cooking time.

[0058] In this embodiment, after determining the remaining cooking time, the intelligent cooking device can heat the food according to the remaining cooking time.

[0059] The automatic cooking method for food provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the current temperature in real time, and when the current temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature upper limit of the current cooking stage, adjusts the remaining cooking time to 0, or when the current temperature is less than the temperature upper limit, updates the remaining cooking time according to the historical temperature of the previous moment, the current temperature and the temperature upper limit, thereby realizing the operation of heating the food according to the remaining cooking time, realizing dynamic adjustment of the remaining cooking time, improving cooking efficiency, and shortening the cooking time.

[0060] Based on the above embodiment, the smart cooking device can also determine the cooking time based on the weight information of the food. When the weight information is the initial weight of the food, the specific process of the smart cooking device heating the food according to the cooking time corresponding to the current cooking stage in the cooking program may include the following steps:

[0061] S301. Obtain cooking time information corresponding to the initial weight, wherein the cooking time information includes cooking time corresponding to the cooking stage.

[0062] In this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device can obtain the initial weight of the food before starting cooking. The intelligent cooking device can obtain the corresponding cooking time information based on the initial weight. The cooking time information includes the cooking time corresponding to each cooking stage.

[0063] In one implementation, the smart cooking device may store multiple cooking time information corresponding to each cooking program. Among the multiple cooking time information corresponding to a cooking program, each cooking time information may correspond to a different initial weight. The smart cooking device may match the corresponding cooking time information according to the initial weight.

[0064] In another implementation, a calculation formula for each cooking stage of each program may be provided in the intelligent cooking device. The calculation formula is used to calculate the cooking time of the cooking stage of the cooking program according to the initial weight. The intelligent cooking device can calculate the cooking time of each cooking stage of the cooking program according to the formula and the initial weight. The cooking time information can be obtained according to the cooking time.

[0065] In another implementation, the intelligent cooking device may be provided with a standard cooking time for each cooking stage of each program. The intelligent cooking device may also be provided with a standard weight for each type of food. The intelligent cooking device may determine a weight ratio based on a ratio between an initial weight and a standard weight. The intelligent cooking device may obtain a cooking time for each cooking stage based on the product of the weight ratio and the standard cooking time.

[0066] S302: Heat the food according to the acquired cooking time corresponding to the current cooking stage.

[0067] In this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device can match the cooking time information with the initial weight to obtain the cooking time corresponding to the cooking stage. The intelligent cooking device can heat the food according to the cooking time.

[0068] The automatic cooking method for food provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the cooking time information corresponding to the initial weight to obtain the cooking time corresponding to the current cooking stage corresponding to the initial weight, thereby realizing heating of the food according to the cooking time, improving the adjustment of each cooking time according to the initial weight of the food, so that the food can be better cooked and the cooking effect is improved.

[0069] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the process of automatic cooking method for food provided in this application Figure 2 , based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0070] S401, obtaining an image of food, and identifying the image to obtain the type of food.

[0071] In this embodiment, the smart cooking device may be provided with a camera. When the user puts food into the smart cooking device and chooses to start cooking, the camera in the smart cooking device may obtain an image of the food. The smart cooking device may also identify the type of food based on the image of the food.

[0072] S402: Determine a cooking program corresponding to the food according to the type of food.

[0073] In this embodiment, the intelligent cooking device may further store a plurality of intelligent cooking programs. Each intelligent cooking program may correspond to at least one type of food. The intelligent cooking device may match the cooking program according to the type of food identified in step S401.

[0074] For example, as shown in Table 1, three cooking programs may be stored in the intelligent cooking program. The three cooking programs may correspond to three types of food, namely, pastries, cereals and potatoes, and eggs and milk. Among them, each type of food may include multiple types of food. For example, pastries may include steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns, siu mai, dumplings, wontons, etc. Each cooking program may include multiple cooking stages. Each cooking stage may correspond to a different cooking method.

[0075] Table 1

[0076]

[0077] S403: Based on the current temperature of the food and the temperature range of each cooking stage in the cooking program, determine and enter the cooking stage corresponding to the current temperature. The cooking stage in the cooking program has a temperature range.

[0078] In this embodiment, each cooking stage in the cooking program may also be provided with a corresponding temperature range. As shown in Table 1, the intelligent cooking device may store the temperature range of each cooking stage of each cooking program. Optionally, as shown in Table 1, t is the current temperature. The temperature range may include an upper temperature limit and a lower temperature limit. Alternatively, the temperature range may also include only a lower temperature limit. Alternatively, the temperature range may also include only an upper temperature limit.

[0079] Optionally, the temperature range includes an upper temperature limit and / or a lower temperature limit, wherein the lower temperature limit of the previous cooking stage in the cooking program is equal to the upper temperature limit of the next cooking stage in the cooking program.

[0080] After obtaining the current temperature, the intelligent cooking device can determine the cooking stage corresponding to the current temperature according to the temperature range corresponding to each cooking stage in the cooking program. The cooking stage corresponding to the current cooking temperature is the cooking stage to be executed.

[0081] For example, as shown in Table 1, the temperature range and cooking method may include the following settings:

[0082] Among them, pastry foods are usually frozen at low temperatures. The freezing temperature of a refrigerator is usually X°C. In the early stages of cooking, the smart cooking device can help pastry foods thaw quickly by intervening with pure microwaves at medium to high power. Therefore, in the pastry cooking program, the cooking method of the first cooking stage can be continuous intervention of pure microwaves at medium to high power. When the temperature reaches Y°C, there is basically no ice in the food. Therefore, the first cooking stage can include a lower temperature value of X°C and an upper temperature value of Y°C. Optionally, Y°C can be a lower temperature such as 0 degrees, 2 degrees, or 4 degrees.

[0083] When the food is thawed to Y℃, the intelligent cooking device can intervene with medium and low microwave + steam to quickly raise the temperature of the food while maintaining the softness of the food. When the food temperature is further increased, the amount of food steam continues to increase. At this time, the water content on the surface of the food is high, and the water absorbs a lot of microwaves. At this time, if higher-power microwaves continue to be used, it is easy to cause the surface of the food to be too dry while the inside is not fully heated. Therefore, when the food temperature reaches about Z℃, the intelligent cooking device can end the second cooking stage. That is, the cooking method corresponding to the second cooking stage can be continuous intervention of medium and low power microwaves + intervention of medium and high duty cycle of steam + auxiliary heating of baking tubes. Among them, when the cavity temperature reaches 100℃, the NTC controls the operation of the baking tube to keep the cavity temperature at 100℃. In addition, the second cooking stage can include a lower temperature limit of Y℃ and an upper temperature limit of Z℃. Optionally, the Z℃ can be 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, etc.

[0084] When Z℃ is reached, the intelligent cooking equipment can reduce microwave intervention to maintain the taste of food. When the food temperature reaches P℃, it is already a well-mature cooking temperature, so cooking can be stopped. Therefore, the cooking method corresponding to the third cooking stage can be low-power continuous intervention + steam medium-high duty cycle intervention + baking tube assisted heating. Among them, when the cavity temperature reaches 100℃, the NTC controls the baking tube operation to keep the cavity temperature at 100℃. In addition, the lower temperature limit of the third cooking stage can be Z℃, and the upper temperature limit can be P℃. Optionally, the P℃ can be a higher temperature such as 60 degrees, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, etc.

[0085] When P°C is reached, the intelligent cooking device may enter the fourth cooking stage. In the fourth cooking stage, to prevent the food from getting cold, the intelligent cooking device may continue to heat the food with steam. The fourth cooking stage may include a lower temperature limit of P°C.

[0086] Among them, cereals and tubers may be stored at room temperature or refrigerated in a refrigerator. The refrigerator refrigeration temperature is usually X1°C. Therefore, the lower limit of the temperature of the first cooking stage can be set at X1°C. In the first cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device can continuously intervene with high-power pure microwaves to increase the overall temperature of the food. In the first cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device does not intervene with steam. The setting of not intervening with steam is to prevent steam from absorbing microwaves, resulting in a slower increase in the temperature of the food. The upper limit of the temperature of the first cooking stage can be set at Z1°C. When the core temperature of the food reaches Z1°C, if the high power is continuously operated, the outer skin of the food will lose too much water and become dry and hard. Therefore, when the food reaches Z1°C, the intelligent cooking device can enter the second cooking node. The second cooking stage can keep the food moist by reducing the microwave power and intervening with steam at the same time. When the food reaches P1°C, it is already mature and edible. Therefore, when it reaches P1°C, the intelligent cooking device can enter the third cooking stage. And, in the third cooking stage, in order to prevent the user from not taking out the food and causing it to cool, the intelligent cooking device can enter the insulation program. Among them, the values ​​of X1, Z1, and P1 are similar to those of X, Z, and P.

[0087] Among them, egg and dairy foods usually need to add water to the ingredients when cooking. Therefore, the starting temperature of the egg and dairy foods is usually greater than X2°C. Therefore, the lower limit of the temperature of the first cooking stage of egg and dairy foods can be X2°C. During the cooking process of the egg and dairy foods, due to the excessive microwave power, the molecules vibrate rapidly, causing the eggs to mature quickly. The water wrapped in the coagulated egg liquid generates water vapor when boiling. The water vapor will open the coagulated egg liquid, thereby producing large pores. Therefore, in the first cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device can intervene in medium and low power microwaves to help the food heat quickly, while assisting with medium and low steam. Among them, adding more steam can easily cause the steam to absorb microwaves and slow down the heating rate. In this cooking process, not boiling violently can easily cause the shape of the food to deteriorate. Therefore, after the temperature reaches Y2°C, when the protein gradually begins to coagulate, the intelligent cooking device can enter the second cooking stage. In the second cooking stage, the microwave power can be further reduced to prevent the formation of large pores. At the same time, the second cooking stage can also increase the steam volume to increase the cooking rate. When the temperature reaches Z2°C, since most of the protein is coagulated, the continued intervention of microwaves at this time is likely to cause large pores to appear. Therefore, the smart cooking device can enter the third cooking stage. In this third cooking stage, the smart cooking device can use the lower heat transfer of steam to further heat the food and maintain its good properties. Among them, the values ​​of X2, Y2, Z2, and P2 are similar to X, Y, Z, and P.

[0088] For another example, after the user closes the door of the smart cooking device and clicks the start cooking button, the smart cooking device can identify the type of food as steamed buns through the acquired food image in step S401. In step S402, based on the steamed buns, the corresponding cooking program can be matched and determined to be a pastry cooking program. The smart cooking device can obtain the current temperature of the steamed buns as 10°C through the infrared temperature measuring unit. When Y is 4, Z is 40, and P is 75, based on the current temperature, the smart cooking device can determine that the cooking program to be started is the second cooking program. Optionally, the smart cooking device can also output the corresponding estimated remaining cooking time of 4 minutes to the display screen. Optionally, the cooking program that needs to be executed for the steamed buns can be as shown in Table 2.

[0089] Table 2

[0090]

[0091] S404: In the process of heating the food based on the cooking program corresponding to the food, the food is heated according to the cooking time corresponding to the current cooking stage in the cooking program, wherein the cooking program includes multiple cooking stages.

[0092] Among them, step S304 and Figure 2 The implementation of step S101 in the embodiment is similar and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0093] The automatic cooking method for food provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the type of food, determines the cooking program according to the type of food, determines the current cooking program according to the current temperature of the food, and uses the current cooking program to heat the food, thereby dynamically adjusting the cooking program according to the current temperature of the food, thereby improving the flexibility of the execution of the cooking program and improving the effect of cooking efficiency.

[0094] Based on the above embodiment, the smart cooking device can also display the remaining total cooking time on the surface of the smart cooking device. The remaining total cooking time indicates the time required from the current moment to complete all cooking stages of the cooking program. This step may include:

[0095] S501. Determine the remaining total cooking time according to the current temperature and / or weight information.

[0096] In this embodiment, after the intelligent cooking device determines the cooking program and the current cooking stage, the intelligent cooking device can determine the remaining total cooking time according to the cooking stages that need to be executed. During the cooking process of the intelligent cooking device, the intelligent cooking device can determine the remaining total cooking time according to the completed historical cooking time. During the cooking process, the intelligent cooking device can also update the cooking time of the current stage according to the current temperature or weight information, and then obtain the remaining cooking time of the current cooking stage. According to the dynamically adjusted remaining cooking time, the intelligent cooking device can adjust the remaining total cooking time accordingly.

[0097] In one example, the smart cooking device can determine the remaining total cooking time based on the total historical cooking time, the initial temperature, the current temperature, and the upper temperature limit of the last cooking stage. The specific steps may include:

[0098] Step 41: Determine a second heating rate according to the difference between the initial temperature and the current temperature and the total historical cooking time. The total historical cooking time represents the duration of the cooking that has been performed.

[0099] In this step, the intelligent cooking device can calculate the difference between the initial temperature and the current temperature. The intelligent cooking device can also obtain the total historical cooking time from the start of cooking to the current moment. The total historical cooking time is the time that the intelligent cooking device has been cooking during this cooking process. The intelligent cooking device can determine the second heating speed according to the ratio of the difference to the total historical cooking time.
