[0030] When the cooking device is running in the second heating mode, and the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, the second heating mode is stopped and the cooking device is controlled to run in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0062] The cooking equipment control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, it can also be applied to, for example Figure 2 The application environment shown is illustrated. The cooking device 100 includes, but is not limited to, steam ovens, rice cookers, steamers, slow cookers, pressure cookers, etc., providing diverse cooking modes. In this embodiment, the cooking device 100 may include, a controller 102, a heating element 104, and a water replenishment device 106. The controller 102 can specifically be the main control chip of the cooking device 100, used to receive user commands, monitor and adjust the working status of each component in the cooking device 100. The controller 102 integrates complex algorithms and logic, enabling precise control of the cooking device 100. The heating element 104 is one of the core components of the cooking device 100. Based on the commands sent by the controller 102, it converts electrical energy into heat energy through different heating principles and transfers it to the food inside the cooking device 100 cavity. The heating element 104 includes, but is not limited to, heating tubes, heating plates, electromagnetic heaters, etc. The water replenishment device 106 can automatically replenish water to the cavity of the cooking device 100 based on the commands sent by the controller 102, maintaining humidity for the food inside the cooking device 100 cavity to ensure its freshness.

[0063] The cooking process of food slow cooker 100 will be explained as an example. Figure 1In the illustrated application environment, the user can manually press a button or touch key on the outer casing of the cooking device 100 to trigger a target cooking mode start command. The controller 102, in response to the target cooking mode start command, controls the cooking device 100 to run a first heating mode until the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device 100 reaches a first preset temperature. At this point, the controller stops the cooking device 100 from running the first heating mode and then controls it to run a second heating mode, wherein the heating power of the first heating mode is greater than that of the second heating mode. When the cooking device 100 is running the second heating mode, and the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, the controller 102 can control the cooking device 100 to stop running the second heating mode and then control it to run a humidity-maintaining mode. When the cooking device 100 is running in the humidity-maintaining mode, and the running time from receiving the target cooking mode start command reaches the target duration indicated by the target cooking mode start command, the controller 102 can control the cooking device 100 to stop running the humidity-maintaining mode.

[0064] The cooking process of food slow cooker 100 will be explained as an example. Figure 2 In the illustrated application environment, a user can trigger a target cooking mode start command via a mini-program or app bound to the cooking device 100 on the terminal 200. The controller 102, in response to the target cooking mode start command, controls the cooking device 100 to run a first heating mode until the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device 100 reaches a first preset temperature. At this point, the controller stops the cooking device 100 from running the first heating mode and then controls it to run a second heating mode, where the heating power of the first heating mode is greater than that of the second heating mode. When the cooking device 100 is running the second heating mode, and the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, the controller 102 can control the cooking device 100 to stop running the second heating mode and then control it to run a humidity-maintaining mode. When the cooking device 100 is running in the humidity-maintaining mode, and the running time from receiving the target cooking mode start command reaches the target duration indicated by the start command, the controller 102 can control the cooking device 100 to stop running the humidity-maintaining mode. The terminal 200 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, etc.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a method for controlling a cooking device is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 or Figure 2 Taking controller 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0066] Step 302: In response to the target cooking mode start command, control the cooking device to run the first heating mode until the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device reaches the first preset temperature, control the first heating mode to stop running, and control the cooking device to run the second heating mode; the heating power of the first heating mode is greater than the heating power of the second heating mode.

[0067] The target cooking mode activation command indicates that food should be simmered. In this embodiment, the target cooking mode includes the following operating modes: a first heating mode, a second heating mode, and a humidity-maintaining mode. Both the first and second heating modes raise the temperature inside the cooking device cavity, while the humidity-maintaining mode keeps both the temperature and humidity inside the cooking device cavity stable. The first preset temperature can be flexibly set according to the actual application scenario, as long as it can fully heat the food inside the cooking device cavity.

[0068] Optionally, in response to a user-triggered start command for a target cooking mode, the controller can first determine at least one first component required to operate a first heating mode and at least one second heating component required to operate a second heating mode. By controlling at least one first component to start operating, the controller can control the cooking device to first operate the first heating mode with higher heating power, achieving rapid heating. During operation, the controller can monitor the temperature inside the cooking device cavity in real time using a temperature sensor installed within the cavity. When the temperature inside the cavity reaches a first preset temperature, the controller can stop operating at least one first component to stop the first heating mode and start operating at least one second component to begin the second heating mode, ensuring that the food inside the cavity is heated sufficiently and evenly after rapid heating.

[0069] Step 304: When the cooking device is running the second heating mode, and the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, control the second heating mode to stop running and control the cooking device to run the humidification and temperature maintenance mode.

[0070] The second preset temperature can be flexibly set according to the actual application scenario, so as to fully heat the food in the cavity of the cooking device.

[0071] Optionally, when responding to a user-triggered command to start a target cooking mode, the controller may first determine at least one third component required to operate the moisturizing and temperature-maintaining mode. This mode requires the addition of at least one third component to operate in addition to the second heating mode. Based on this, when the cooking device is operating in the second heating mode, the controller can monitor the temperature inside the cooking device cavity in real time using a temperature sensor installed within the cavity. When the temperature inside the cooking device cavity reaches a second preset temperature, the controller can, while at least one second component continues to operate, control at least one third component to start operating, thereby stopping the cooking device from operating the second heating mode and starting the moisturizing and temperature-maintaining mode.

[0072] Step 306: When the cooking equipment is running in the moisturizing and temperature-maintaining mode, when the cooking equipment has run for the target duration indicated by the target cooking mode start command after receiving the start command, the moisturizing and temperature-maintaining mode is stopped.

[0073] The target cooking mode start command can be set by the user or it can be the default target cooking mode selected by the user.

[0074] Optionally, upon receiving the target cooking mode start command, the controller automatically begins timing the cooking device's runtime. When the cooking device is operating in the humidity-maintaining mode, the controller automatically compares the real-time runtime with the target runtime indicated by the target cooking mode start command. When the cooking device's runtime after receiving the target cooking mode start command reaches the target runtime indicated by the command, the controller can stop operating at least one second component and at least one third component required for the humidity-maintaining mode, thus stopping the cooking device from operating in the humidity-maintaining mode.

[0075] Based on steps 302 to 306 above, as Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a three-stage control method for a cooking device that performs slow cooking, comprising the following main steps:

[0076] Step 402: Receive the target cooking mode start command;

[0077] Step 404: Control the cooking equipment to run in the first heating mode;

[0078] Step 406: Monitor the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking equipment;

[0079] When the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device reaches the first preset temperature, step 408 is executed to stop the first heating mode; otherwise, return to step 404.

[0080] Step 410: Control the cooking equipment to operate in the second heating mode;

[0081] Step 412: Monitor the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking equipment;

[0082] When the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, step 414 is executed to stop the second heating mode; otherwise, return to step 410.

[0083] Step 416: Control the cooking equipment to operate in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode;

[0084] When the cooking device is running in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, if the cooking device reaches the target duration indicated by the target cooking mode start command after running for a period of time since receiving the target cooking mode start command, step 418 is executed to stop the operation of the humidification and temperature maintenance mode; otherwise, the process returns to step 416.

[0085] The aforementioned cooking equipment control method can respond to a target cooking mode start command, controlling the cooking equipment to operate in a first heating mode until the temperature inside the cooking equipment cavity reaches a first preset temperature. At this point, the first heating mode is stopped, and the cooking equipment is then controlled to operate in a second heating mode, wherein the heating power of the first heating mode is greater than that of the second heating mode. Furthermore, when the cooking equipment is operating in the second heating mode, when the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, the second heating mode is stopped, and the cooking equipment is controlled to operate in a temperature-maintaining mode. While operating in the temperature-maintaining mode, when the operating time from receiving the target cooking mode start command reaches the target duration indicated by the start command, the temperature-maintaining mode is stopped. Throughout the cooking process, during the heating phase, the heating mode of the cooking equipment can be adjusted according to the temperature inside the cooking equipment cavity. After heating is complete, the cooking equipment can be controlled to operate in the temperature-maintaining mode, achieving further control over the food cooking environment inside the cooking equipment cavity. Based on this, the food cooking environment inside the cooking equipment cavity can be effectively controlled, ensuring the taste of the cooked food, that is, ensuring the operating effect of the cooking equipment.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a schematic diagram illustrates a process for controlling a cooking appliance to operate in a first heating mode by controlling the operation of a steam generator and a top heating element, wherein:

[0087] Step 502: In response to the target cooking mode start command, when the water level in the cavity reaches the preset water level, control the steam generator and top heating element in the cooking device to start operating.

[0088] The preset water level in the cavity means that there is enough water in the cavity to complete one cooking cycle, preventing the steam generator from burning dry during cooking. A steam generator, also known as a steam heat source or boiler, is a mechanical device that uses heat energy to heat water into hot water or steam. The top heating element is installed at the top of the cooking equipment's cavity (either inside or outside). It reheats the steam generated after the steam generator heats the water (the steam rises to the top of the cavity), facilitating rapid heating within the cavity and ensuring that the upper surface of the food inside is fully heated. Furthermore, the top heating element helps keep the top of the cooking equipment's cavity clean during operation, preventing condensation from dripping onto the food and affecting its taste and quality. The cooking equipment can be equipped with at least one steam generator and at least one top heating element.

[0089] Optionally, the controller may, in response to a target cooking mode start command, determine at least one first component required to operate the first heating mode, namely, at least one steam generator and at least one top heating element. Based on this, when the water level in the cavity reaches a preset level, the controller may control the simultaneous operation of (at least one) steam generator and (at least one) top heating element in the cooking device to achieve rapid heating of the cavity temperature.

[0090] Step 504: During the operation of the steam generator and the top heating pipe, the temperature rise slope inside the cavity is monitored to obtain the first temperature rise slope.

[0091] Optionally, during the operation of the steam generator and the top heating element, the controller can monitor the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking equipment in real time using a temperature sensor installed inside the cavity, and calculate the temperature rise slope within a unit time interval to obtain the first temperature rise slope. The unit time interval can be flexibly configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario, including but not limited to 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.

[0092] Step 506: Adjust the heating power of the steam generator and the top heating tube according to the first temperature rise slope until the temperature inside the cavity reaches the first preset temperature, and then control the steam generator and the top heating tube to stop operating.

[0093] Optionally, from the start of controlling the steam generator and the top heating tube, the controller can adjust the heating power of the steam generator and the top heating tube based on the monitored first temperature rise slope and the temperature slope control algorithm to ensure a smooth transition of temperature inside the cavity, so that the food is heated evenly inside and out, and avoids overheating of the food surface.

[0094] For example, the controller can adjust the heating power of the steam generator and the top heating tube in the following ways: (1) Taking the first slope preset in the controller as an example, if the current first temperature rise slope is higher than the first slope, it indicates that the temperature rise is too fast. The controller can control the steam generator and the top heating tube to reduce the heating power to slow down the temperature rise rate in the cavity; if the current first temperature rise slope is not higher than the first slope, it indicates that the temperature rise is slow. The controller can control the steam generator and the top heating tube to increase the heating power to increase the temperature rise rate in the cavity. (2) Taking the controller with a second slope and a third slope preset as an example, if the current first temperature rise slope is higher than the second slope, it means that the temperature rises too fast, and the controller can control the steam generator and the top heating tube to reduce the heating power; if the current first temperature rise slope is not higher than the second slope, but higher than the third slope, it indicates that the temperature rise is normal, and the controller can control the steam generator and the top heating tube to maintain the current heating power; if the current first temperature rise slope is not higher than the third slope, it indicates that the temperature rises too slowly, and the controller can control the steam generator and the top heating tube to increase the heating power.

[0095] In this embodiment, when controlling the cooking equipment to operate in the first heating mode, the steam generator and the top heating element can be controlled to heat simultaneously to achieve rapid heating. At the same time, based on the temperature slope control algorithm, the heating process can be ensured to be smooth, so as to ensure that the food is heated evenly inside and out, thereby effectively regulating the food cooking environment inside the cavity, improving the taste of the cooked food, and thus ensuring the operating effect of the cooking equipment.

[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a flowchart illustrates a process for controlling a cooking device to operate in a third heating mode after controlling it in a second heating mode, including the following steps:

[0097] Step 602: After the steam generator and top heating element in the control cooking device stop operating, the bottom heating element in the control cooking device starts operating.

[0098] The bottom heating element is installed at the bottom of the cooking device's cavity (either inside or outside). It can quickly transfer heat to the food or liquid inside the cavity, improving heating efficiency and ensuring that the food or liquid inside the cooking container is heated evenly, avoiding local overheating or undercooling.

[0099] Optionally, after the steam generator and top heating element in the cooking appliance stop operating, the cooking appliance also stops operating in the first heating mode. Based on this, the controller can further determine at least one second component required to operate the second heating mode, namely at least one bottom heating element, thereby controlling at least one bottom heating element in the cooking appliance to start operating, so that the cooking appliance starts operating in the second heating mode.

[0100] Step 604: During the operation of the bottom heating tube, the temperature rise slope inside the cavity is monitored to obtain the second temperature rise slope.

[0101] Optionally, during the operation of the bottom heating element, the controller can monitor the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device in real time using a temperature sensor installed inside the cavity, and calculate the temperature rise slope within a unit time interval to obtain a second temperature rise slope. The unit time interval can be flexibly configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0102] Step 606: Adjust the heating power of the bottom heating tube according to the second temperature rise slope.

[0103] Optionally, the controller can adjust the heating power of the bottom heating tube based on the second temperature rise slope and the temperature slope control algorithm to ensure a smooth temperature transition inside the cavity, so that the food is heated evenly inside and out, and to avoid overheating of the food surface.

[0104] For example, the controller can specifically adjust the heating power of the bottom heating tube in the following ways: (1) Taking the controller with a fourth slope preset as an example, if the current second temperature rise slope is higher than the fourth slope, the controller can control the bottom heating tube to reduce the heating power; if the current second temperature rise slope is not higher than the fourth slope, the controller can control the bottom heating tube to increase the heating power. (2) Taking the controller with a fifth slope and a sixth slope preset as an example, if the current second temperature rise slope is higher than the fifth slope, the controller can control the bottom heating tube to reduce the heating power; if the current second temperature rise slope is not higher than the fifth slope but higher than the sixth slope, the controller can control the bottom heating tube to maintain the current heating power; if the current second temperature rise slope is not higher than the sixth slope, the controller can control the bottom heating tube to increase the heating power.

[0105] When the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, step 608 is executed, and the humidifier in the cooking device is started to run while the bottom heating element continues to operate; otherwise, return to step 604.

[0106] The temperature inside the cavity reaching the second preset temperature is the trigger condition for stopping the cooking device from operating in the second heating mode, and also the trigger condition for starting the cooking device from operating in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode. With the bottom heating element continuously running, the humidifier in the cooking device is activated, which means: the cooking device stops operating in the second heating mode and starts operating in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode.

[0107] Optionally, when the temperature inside the cavity reaches a second preset temperature, the controller can determine at least one third component required to operate the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, namely at least one humidifier, thereby controlling at least one humidifier in the cooking device to start operating while the bottom heating element (at least one) continues to operate.

[0108] In this embodiment, when the cooking device stops operating in the first heating mode, the bottom heating tube can be controlled to start heating, so as to control the cooking device to enter the second heating mode of the next heating stage, thereby achieving effective control of the food cooking environment in the cavity, ensuring that the food is fully heated, improving the taste of the cooked food, and thus ensuring the operating effect of the cooking device.

[0109] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7 The diagram illustrates a process for controlling a cooking appliance to operate in a humidity-maintaining and temperature-controlled mode, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0110] Step 702: When the cooking device is running in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, obtain the target humidity and use the second preset temperature as the target temperature.

[0111] Optionally, when the cooking device is operating in a humidity-maintaining and temperature-controlled mode, the controller can obtain a preset target humidity and use a second preset temperature as the target temperature.

[0112] Step 704: Adjust the operating power of the bottom heating element and humidifier in the cooking equipment according to the target temperature and target humidity.

[0113] Optionally, in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, the controller can dynamically adjust the operating power of the bottom heating element and humidifier in the cooking equipment based on an adaptive algorithm or a feedback control algorithm, according to the target temperature and humidity, to ensure that the temperature and humidity inside the cavity are maintained at the target temperature and humidity, thus maintaining a constant temperature and humidity environment for food cooking inside the cavity. The basic principle of the adaptive algorithm is to dynamically adjust parameters, strategies, or structures based on the current state and input conditions to improve the efficiency and accuracy of problem solving. In this embodiment, the adaptive algorithm can continuously adjust the operating power of the bottom heating element and humidifier based on the current temperature and humidity, with the goal of maintaining a constant temperature and humidity. The feedback control algorithm (PID algorithm) is a widely used feedback control algorithm used to control deviations in the system, enabling the system output to reach or remain at a desired setpoint. The PID algorithm generates a control signal by calculating the weighted sum of the proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D) of the error (i.e., the difference between the setpoint and the actual output), thereby adjusting the system's control variables to achieve the control objective.

[0114] For example, taking a feedback control algorithm to ensure constant temperature and humidity within the cavity as an example, if a trend of temperature change or a slight change is detected within the cavity (which, being slight, can approximate constant temperature and humidity), the controller can automatically and dynamically control the operating power of the bottom heating element and the humidifier with the goal of eliminating the trend or change. For instance, if the temperature sensor indicates a slight increase in temperature within the cavity, the controller can control the bottom heating element to reduce its operating power (heating power), and vice versa. Similarly, if the humidity sensor indicates a slight decrease in humidity within the cavity, the controller can control the humidifier to increase its operating power (humidification power) to increase humidity within the cavity, and vice versa.

[0115] If the cooking device reaches the target duration indicated by the target cooking mode start command after receiving the start command, step 706 is executed to stop the bottom heating element and humidifier from operating; otherwise, the process returns to step 702.

[0116] In this embodiment, during the process of controlling the cooking equipment to operate in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, the cooking environment inside the cooking equipment cavity can be effectively controlled through dynamic adjustment. Therefore, the taste of the cooked food can be ensured, and the operating effect of the cooking equipment can be ensured until the cooking process is over.

[0117] In one embodiment, the cooking device control method further includes:

[0118] After the control stops the operation of the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, the bottom heating element in the cooking device is controlled to operate at the lowest power.

[0119] For example, after the control stops operating the moisturizing and temperature-maintaining mode, considering that the user may not need to remove the food from the cooking device temporarily, in order to avoid the rapid drop in temperature inside the cavity affecting the taste of the food, the controller can also control the bottom heating element in the cooking device to operate at the lowest power, so that the cooking device enters a low-energy heat preservation state.

[0120] In this embodiment, the food's taste can still be ensured with low energy consumption after cooking, thus ensuring the effective operation of the cooking equipment.

[0121] In one embodiment, the cooking device control method further includes:

[0122] In response to the condensate cleaning command, the bottom heating element in the cooking device is controlled to start operating at a preset power to evaporate the condensate at the bottom of the cavity.

[0123] The condensate cleaning command can be triggered by the user pressing a button or touch key on the cooking device casing, remotely via a terminal, or by the user via voice command.

[0124] For example, after the user removes the cooked food, the controller can respond to the user-triggered condensate cleaning command and control the bottom heating element in the cooking device to start running at a preset power, so that the condensate at the bottom of the cavity evaporates, preventing residual condensate from contaminating the cavity, and also making it easier for the user to clean the appliance with the evaporated water vapor.

[0125] In this embodiment, the residual condensate at the bottom of the cavity can be evaporated a second time, improving the utilization rate of water vapor and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the cooking equipment.

[0126] In a specific application scenario, such as Figure 8 The diagram illustrates a process for controlling a cooking device to achieve slow cooking, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0127] Step 802: Receive the target cooking mode start command;

[0128] Step 804: Adjust the working power of the steam generator and the top heating element in the cooking equipment according to the first temperature slope of the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking equipment.

[0129] Step 806: Monitor the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking equipment;

[0130] If the temperature inside the cavity reaches the first preset temperature, proceed to step 808 to stop the operation of the steam generator and the top heating pipe; otherwise, return to step 804.

[0131] Step 810: Adjust the working power of the bottom heating element in the cooking device according to the second temperature slope of the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device.

[0132] Step 812: Monitor the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking equipment;

[0133] If the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, proceed to step 814 to obtain the target humidity and use the second preset temperature as the target temperature; otherwise, return to step 810.

[0134] Step 816: Adjust the working power of the bottom heating element in the cooking device according to the target temperature, and adjust the working power of the humidifier in the cooking device according to the target humidity.

[0135] Determine whether the cooking device has reached the target duration indicated by the target cooking mode start command after receiving the start command. If it has, execute step 818 to stop the bottom heating element and humidifier from running; otherwise, return to step 816.

[0136] based on Figure 8 The diagram shown illustrates the process of controlling the cooking equipment to achieve slow cooking. Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the heating process during slow cooking, where T1 represents the first preset temperature, T2 represents the second preset temperature, and the target duration is t0. During the heating process to T1, both the steam generator and the top heating element operate simultaneously, resulting in a rapid heating rate. From T1 to T2, only the bottom heating element operates, slowing the heating rate. After reaching T2, the process enters a temperature maintenance phase, where the controller maintains the temperature within the cavity at T2 (the target temperature) until the target duration t0 is reached.

[0137] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0138] like Figure 10 As shown, this application embodiment also provides a cooking device 1000, including a top heating element 1002, a steam generator 1004, a bottom heating element 1006, a humidifier 1008, and a controller 1010;

[0139] In response to a target cooking mode start command, controller 1010 controls the top heating element 1002 and steam generator 1004 to start operating, so that cooking device 1000 operates in a first heating mode until the temperature inside the cavity of cooking device 1000 reaches a first preset temperature. Then, controller 1010 controls the top heating element 1002 and steam generator 1004 to stop operating, so as to stop operating the first heating mode, and controls the bottom heating element 1006 to start operating, so that cooking device 1000 operates in a second heating mode; the heating power of the first heating mode is greater than the heating power of the second heating mode.

[0140] When the cooking device 1000 is running the second heating mode, when the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, the controller 1010 controls the humidifier 1008 to start running, so as to stop running the second heating mode and control the cooking device 1000 to run the humidification and temperature maintenance mode.

[0141] When the cooking device 1000 is running in the humidification and temperature maintenance mode, when the cooking device 1000 reaches the target duration indicated by the target cooking mode start command after running for a period of time since receiving the target cooking mode start command, the controller 1010 controls the bottom heating tube 1006 and the humidifier 1008 to stop running, so as to stop running the humidification and temperature maintenance mode.

[0142] In one embodiment, the cooking device 1000 further includes: a temperature sensor 1012 for monitoring the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device 1000 and feeding back the temperature detection result to the controller 1010; and a humidity sensor 1014 for monitoring the humidity inside the cavity of the cooking device 1000 and feeding back the humidity detection result to the controller 1010.

[0143] It should be noted that the number of the top heating element 1002, the steam generator 1004, the bottom heating element 1006, and the humidifier 1008 in the cooking device 100 can all be at least one.

[0144] The aforementioned cooking device 1000 includes a top heating element 1002, a steam generator 1004, a bottom heating element 1006, a humidifier 1008, and a controller 1010. Specifically, during the heating phase, the controller 1010 can adjust the operation of the top heating element 1002, the steam generator 1004, and the bottom heating element 1006 according to the temperature inside the cavity of the cooking device 1000, thereby regulating the heating mode of the cooking device 1000. After heating is complete, the operation of the bottom heating element 1006 and the humidifier 1008 can be adjusted to regulate the cooking device 1000 to operate in a humidification and temperature maintenance mode, further regulating the food cooking environment inside the cavity of the cooking device 1000. Based on this, the food cooking environment inside the cavity of the cooking device 1000 can be effectively regulated, ensuring the taste of the cooked food, that is, ensuring the operating effect of the cooking device 1000.

Furthermore, when the cooking equipment is operating in the second heating mode, when the temperature inside the cavity reaches the second preset temperature, it stops operating the second heating mode and controls the cooking equipment to operate in a temperature-maintaining mode.
