[0042] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0044] An embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a cooking device, where the cooking device may be a kitchen cooking device such as an electric rice cooker, an electric rice cooker, an electric pressure cooker, a stew pot, an induction cooker, and a health pot.

[0045] For example, Figure 1A As shown, the cooking device 1 may include: a pot body 11, a jet emulsification device 12 and a heating device 13. The pot body 11 may be reasonably designed according to the requirements, for example, the pot body 11 may be designed to be cylindrical.

[0046] Here, the heating device 13 is used to heat the pot body 11, and a cooking cavity 14 is formed in the pot body 11. It can be understood that the cooking cavity 14 can be used to hold food, for example, cereals such as rice, black rice, red beans, black beans, and soybeans, or meat food such as pork, beef, mutton, chicken, and fish. Here, the heating device 13 is used to cook the food in the pot body 11. Exemplarily, the heating device 13 can be an electric heating wire or an electric heating plate in contact with the pot body 11, or can be a hot plate, IH (induction heat, electromagnetic heating), a heating belt, and far infrared, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] Here, the jet emulsification device 12 is arranged in the cooking cavity 14. Figure 1B As shown, Figure 1B 1 is a top view of the jet emulsification device 12, which at least includes a jet hole 122, so that the liquid in the pot body 11 rises in the boiling state, and the emulsification can be accelerated through the jet hole 122 on the jet emulsification device 12. The jet emulsification device 12 also includes an emulsification device 121. It can be understood that the liquid level in the cooking cavity 14 rises, and the liquid enters the emulsification device 121 from the cooking cavity 14 through the jet hole 122. In the emulsification device 121, since the liquid suddenly passes through a small space from a large space, and under the pressure difference condition, the liquid flow rate will be greatly increased, and the macromolecular particles (such as fat, protein, etc.) in the liquid will continuously collide in the path and be collided into smaller particles, which promotes protein to wrap fat or fat to wrap protein or water molecules; after the liquid passes through the path, the situation of protein wrapping fat or fat wrapping protein will form a stable emulsion, and when it enters the cooking cavity 14 again, it will promote the liquid to be more rich and milky, thereby achieving emulsification.

[0048] In addition, the jet hole 122 is used to guide the liquid in the cooking cavity 14 to flow into the jet emulsification device 12 . At the same time, the emulsified liquid can also flow into the cooking cavity 14 based on the jet hole 122 .

[0049] Here, the jet emulsification device 12 may further include a reflux device 123, and the reflux device 123 is used to reflux the emulsified liquid into the cooking cavity 14. It is understandable that after the liquid in the cooking cavity 14 flows into the jet emulsification device 12 through the jet hole 122, the liquid may reflux into the cooking cavity 14 through the jet hole 122 and the reflux device 123, and the reflux device 123 here may be a reflux hole.

[0050] For example, the cooking device of the embodiment of the present application may further include a temperature sensor for detecting the working temperature value. The cooking device also includes a control device, which is connected to the heating device and can obtain the aforementioned working temperature value and control the heating device to work based on the cooking program.

[0051] Here, the temperature sensor 15 is used to detect the temperature value of the food during the heating process. For example, the temperature sensor 15 can be set at the bottom of the pot body and in contact with the outer surface of the pot body, and the temperature of the food during the cooking process can be reflected based on the detected temperature of the outer surface; the temperature sensor can also be set in the cooking cavity to directly detect the temperature of the food during the cooking process. The temperature sensor can be a thermistor sensor or a thermocouple sensor, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] It should be noted that the pot body 11 can be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, and the temperature sensor 15 does not need to be in direct contact with the food. The temperature of the food during the cooking process can be reflected based on the temperature of the outer surface of the pot body 11. If the pot body is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, the heat generated by the heating device 13 can be quickly transferred to the food in the pot body, i.e., the cooking cavity 14. Exemplarily, the pot body 11 can be made of stainless steel and / or aluminum.

[0053] Exemplarily, a human-machine interaction unit (not shown in FIG. 1 ) may also be provided on the cooking device 1, and the control device is connected to the human-machine interaction unit to receive instructions input by the user and / or output indication information to the user. The human-machine interaction unit may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a button, a rotary switch, a touch screen, a display screen, an indicator light, and a buzzer.

[0054] The present application embodiment provides a control method for a cooking device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control method includes:

[0055] Step 201: Obtain the temperature change value of the cooking device within a set time.

[0056] Here, the cooking device can obtain the temperature change value of the cooking device within a set time, and the temperature change value of the set time can be detected by a temperature sensor in the cooking device. For example, assuming that the set time is 100s, the temperature sensor can detect the temperature change value of the cooking device within 100s. The temperature change value can be 1°C-20°C or 0.5°C-10°C. It is understandable that the temperature sensor can also obtain the current temperature value of the cooking device.

[0057] Step 202: Based on the temperature change value and the set temperature change threshold, control the operating mode of the heating device, wherein the operating mode includes: a jet mode for flowing the liquid in the cooking cavity into the jet emulsification device based on the jet hole and a reflux mode for returning the emulsified liquid to the cooking cavity based on the jet hole.

[0058] Here, the set temperature change threshold is a reference threshold for controlling the operation mode of the heating device, and the operation mode of the heating device can be controlled according to the temperature change value and the set temperature change threshold.

[0059] Here, the operation mode includes a jet mode for flowing the liquid in the cooking cavity into the jet emulsifying device based on the jet hole and a reflux mode for returning the emulsified liquid to the cooking cavity based on the jet hole. It can be understood that if a reflux hole is provided on the cooking device, the reflux mode is a mode in which the emulsified liquid returns to the cooking cavity based on the jet hole and the reflux hole.

[0060] Here, controlling the operation mode of the heating device includes controlling switching between a jet mode and a reflow mode.

[0061] In this way, the operating mode of the heating device is controlled by the temperature change value of the cooking equipment. When there is a lack of water in the cooking chamber, the jet mode can be switched to the reflux mode to effectively avoid dry burning. Based on the emulsification effect of the jet mode, the richness and taste of the soup after cooking can be effectively improved.

[0062] In some embodiments, controlling the operation mode of the heating device based on the temperature change value and the set temperature change threshold value includes:

[0063] Determine that the temperature change value in the jet mode is greater than or equal to a first set temperature change threshold, and control the jet mode to be switched to the reflow mode.

[0064] Here, when the heating device is operating in the jet mode, the temperature change value in the jet mode can be compared to see whether it is greater than or equal to the first set temperature change threshold. When it is determined that the temperature change value in the jet mode is greater than or equal to the first set temperature change threshold, the jet mode is controlled to be switched to the reflux mode. The first set temperature change threshold can be 1°C-20°C.

[0065] It is understandable that in the jet mode, the food in the cooking cavity will be in a boiling state, the cooking liquid level will rise, and the liquid will enter the emulsification device from the cooking cavity through the jet hole of the jet emulsification device. In this process, because the liquid suddenly passes through a small space from a large space, and under the pressure difference condition, the liquid flow rate will be greatly increased, and the macromolecular particles in the liquid (such as fat, protein, etc.) will constantly collide in the path and be collided into smaller particles, promoting protein to wrap fat or fat to wrap protein or water molecules; after the liquid passes through the path, this protein wraps fat or fat wraps protein to form a stable emulsion. Since most of the water in the cooking cavity flows into the jet emulsification device for emulsification, the amount of water in the cooking cavity is too small, resulting in dry burning of the pot.

[0066] When the jet mode is switched to the reflux mode, the stable emulsion formed by the jet emulsification device will enter the cooking cavity again, which will promote the liquid to be richer and milkier, thereby achieving emulsification while ensuring that the emulsified liquid can smoothly flow back into the cooking cavity. The emulsified liquid will lower the temperature of the pot body during the reflux process. At this time, liquid gathers in the cooking cavity, avoiding dry burning caused by insufficient water in the cooking cavity under the jet mode.

[0067] In some embodiments, controlling the operation mode of the heating device based on the temperature change value and the set temperature change threshold value includes:

[0068] Determine that the temperature change value in the reflow mode is greater than or equal to a second set temperature change threshold, and control the reflow mode to be switched to the jet mode.

[0069] Here, when the heating device is operating in the reflow mode, the temperature change value in the reflow mode can be compared to see whether it is greater than or equal to the second set temperature change threshold. When it is determined that the temperature change value in the reflow mode is greater than or equal to the second set temperature change threshold, the reflow mode is controlled to be switched to the jet mode. The second set temperature change threshold can be 0.5°C-10°C.

[0070] Here, in the reflux mode, most of the formed liquid gathers in the cooking cavity. At this time, the liquid cannot enter the jet emulsification device for emulsification. Controlling the switching of the reflux mode to the jet mode can once again jet emulsify the liquid in the cooking cavity, making the liquid richer and milkier, and improving the taste of the soup.

[0071] In some embodiments, controlling the operating mode of the heating device includes:

[0072] Based on the adjustment of the power value of the heating device, the operation mode of the heating device is controlled to switch between the jet mode and the reflow mode;

[0073] Among them, the power value in the jet mode is greater than the power value in the backflow mode.

[0074] Here, the operation mode of the heating device can be controlled to switch between the jet mode and the reflux mode by adjusting the power of the heating device. Among them, the power value in the jet mode is greater than the power value in the reflux mode. Because, in the jet mode, the liquid needs to boil to form a temperature difference, so that the liquid in the cooking cavity can gather in the jet emulsification device to form a pressure difference, thereby emulsifying. In order to achieve the boiling of the liquid, the power of the heating device in the jet mode is generally large. On the contrary, in the reflux mode, in order to allow the emulsified liquid to reflux smoothly, the power of the heating device should be controlled to work at a smaller power value at this time, and the boiling amount of the liquid is controlled to be smaller, and the emulsified liquid also flows back from the reflux hole or the jet hole to the cooking cavity.

[0075] In some embodiments, if the current operating mode is the reflow mode, the method further includes:

[0076] Get the reflow duration in reflow mode;

[0077] If it is determined that the reflow time is greater than or equal to the reflow time threshold, the control switches the reflow mode to the jet mode.

[0078] Here, the reflux time includes the time it takes for the emulsion to reflux from the reflux hole or the jet hole to the cooking cavity in the reflux mode. Here, the reflux time can be calculated from the moment the heating device switches from the jet mode to the emulsification mode. When it is determined that the reflux time is greater than or equal to the reflux time threshold, the reflux mode is controlled to switch to the jet mode. The reflux time threshold here is the time required for the emulsion to reflux to the bottom of the pot. If the reflux time is greater than or equal to the reflux time threshold, it proves that the emulsion has reached the cooking cavity at this time. At this time, there is water in the cooking cavity and emulsification can be performed again. At this time, the reflux mode is switched to the jet mode.

[0079] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0080] Determine the current cooking stage;

[0081] Based on the current cooking stage and the first mapping relationship, a reflow time threshold is determined, where the first mapping relationship is a correspondence between the cooking stage and the reflow time threshold.

[0082] It is understandable that there are different cooking stages in the cooking process of food. Exemplarily, the cooking stage can be divided into the early stage, the middle stage and the late stage of cooking. The reflux time thresholds corresponding to different cooking stages are different. Exemplarily, taking pig's trotter soup as an example, the soup of pig's trotter soup is relatively thick, and the required cooking time is longer. In the early stage of cooking, due to the thick meat of the pig's trotter, the oil has not yet been secreted, and the soup is relatively clear at this time, and the time for the emulsion to return to the bottom of the pot is relatively fast. Correspondingly, the reflux time threshold is smaller. In the middle stage of cooking, the pig's trotter becomes soft and rotten in the continuous heating, and the oil secreted in the pig's trotter soup is relatively large, and the corresponding reflux time threshold is also higher. In the late stage of the cooking stage, the oil in the soup has been fully emulsified, and the viscosity of the soup is smaller than that in the middle stage of cooking, and the corresponding reflux time threshold is also smaller than that in the middle stage of cooking. The first mapping relationship is the relationship between the cooking stage and the reflux time threshold, reflecting the corresponding reflux time threshold in different cooking stages.

[0083] It is understandable that the first mapping relationship may be pre-stored in the cooking device, so that after determining the current cooking stage, the cooking device may determine the reflow time threshold based on the first mapping relationship and the current cooking stage.

[0084] In this way, the reflux time threshold is determined based on the current cooking stage and the first mapping relationship. The reflux time threshold is determined by the cooking stage, which improves the comprehensiveness of the reflux time threshold, improves the switching efficiency of the operation mode of the cooking device, and improves the taste of the soup in the cooking device.

[0085] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0086] Obtain cooking parameters of the cooking device and the current running time of the cooking device;

[0087] Determine cooking stage information of the cooking device based on the cooking parameters and a second mapping relationship, where the second mapping relationship is a correspondence between the cooking stage information of the cooking device and the cooking parameters;

[0088] The current cooking stage is determined based on the current cooking time and the cooking stage information of the cooking device.

[0089] Here, the cooking parameter may be a food type parameter, and the food type parameter may include at least one of the following: pig's trotter, beef brisket, spareribs, chicken, and fish. The second mapping relationship may be pre-stored in the cooking device, and the second mapping relationship is a correspondence between the cooking stage information of the cooking device and the cooking parameter. The cooking stage information here includes at least the cooking time and the cooking stage. Exemplarily, taking the cooking parameter of pig's trotter soup as an example, the cooking stage information corresponding to the pig's trotter soup includes: the running time of the pig's trotter soup (for example, two hours) and the cooking stage information of the pig's trotter soup (early, middle, and late).

[0090] It is understandable that the cooking device can determine the current cooking stage based on the cooking time and cooking stage information by obtaining the operating time of the cooking device, which provides a basis for determining the subsequent reflux time threshold, and different cooking parameters determine different cooking stages, which can achieve the purpose of consistent switching effects of the operating modes of the heating device corresponding to different cooking parameters and consistent taste of the soup.

[0091] Below, a control method for a cooking device is illustrated with reference to an application example.

[0092] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 is a curve diagram of the temperature change of the cooking equipment. In the related art, in the absence of a jet emulsification device, that is, in the normal process, such as Figure 3 As shown by the dotted line, the temperature fluctuation of the liquid in the cooking device is not large. This is because, when the cooking device is making soup, the water and meat are always boiling when heated, and there is no separation of water from the bottom of the pot, so the temperature does not change much when boiling.

[0093] In the case of a jet emulsification device, i.e., the present technology, Figure 3As shown by the solid line, because the jet emulsification device and the space at the bottom of the pot heat up rapidly, the liquid expands and produces steam, and then the liquid between the two decreases rapidly, and the temperature of the bottom of the pot rises rapidly. For example, within the duration of △t1, it rises by △T1. Within the duration of △t2, it drops by △T2. Here, △T1 and △T2 are temperature change values. Therefore, dry burning occurs when there is too little water in the cooking cavity, and the emulsion cannot effectively flow back and dissolve in the liquid in the cooking cavity, causing the soup to be not rich enough after cooking, affecting the taste of the soup.

[0094] This application example provides a control method for a cooking device, which can control the operation mode of a heating device of the cooking device, realize automatic heating, prevent dry burning, and increase the concentration of soup. In this application example, the first temperature change value is ΔT1, the first set time is Δt1, the second temperature change value is ΔT2, the second set time is Δt2, the operation time is t, the cooking time is ttotal, the first set temperature threshold is T1, the second set temperature threshold is T2, the reflux time is ttimes, and the reflux time threshold is tthreshold. Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0095] Step 401: Start the cooking process.

[0096] The user starts the cooking device, the cooking device obtains the cooking parameters input by the user, and determines the cooking stage information based on the second mapping relationship and the cooking parameters. The current cooking stage is the early cooking stage, and based on the first mapping relationship, the reflux time threshold corresponding to the early cooking stage can be determined to be tthreshold.

[0097] Step 402: Continue heating.

[0098] When cooking starts, the heating device starts to continuously heat the pot of the cooking device. At this time, the operation mode of the heating device is the jet mode. When the operation mode is the jet mode, the corresponding heating power of the heating device is P1.

[0099] Step 403: Determine whether the soup is boiling.

[0100] Here, after heating the cooking device, the temperature of the pot can be measured by the temperature sensor to determine whether the soup is boiling. For example, in non-plateau areas, when the food in the pot begins to boil, the temperature of the corresponding soup is about 97-100°C, and the corresponding pot temperature is T3, which can be set by yourself. That is, it is determined whether the pot temperature is greater than or equal to T3. If so, step 404 is executed, and if not, step 402 is executed.

[0101] Step 404: Determine whether ΔT1 is greater than or equal to T1.

[0102] Here, the first set temperature change threshold T1 is a temperature change of 1-20°C within a set time Δt1 of 0-100s. When the soup begins to boil, it is determined whether the temperature change value ΔT1 is greater than the first temperature change threshold T1. If so, it can be determined that there is no water or very little water in the cooking cavity, and step 405 is executed. If not, step 403 is continued.

[0103] Step 405: Control to switch the jet mode to the backflow mode.

[0104] Here, when it is determined that there is no water or very little water in the cooking cavity, the heating power P1 needs to be reduced, the power P1 of the heating device is switched to P2, and the jet mode is switched to the reflux mode. Here, the power of the heating device corresponding to the reflux mode is P2, and P1>P2. In this way, boiling can be reduced and the soup can reflux.

[0105] When the jet mode is switched to the reflux mode, the stable emulsion formed by the jet emulsification device will enter the cooking cavity again, which will promote the liquid to be richer and milkier, thereby achieving emulsification while ensuring that the emulsified liquid can smoothly flow back into the cooking cavity. The emulsified liquid will lower the temperature of the pot body during the reflux process. At this time, liquid gathers in the cooking cavity, avoiding dry burning caused by insufficient water in the cooking cavity under the jet mode.

[0106] Step 406: Determine whether the reflow duration is greater than or equal to the reflow duration threshold or determine whether ΔT2 is greater than or equal to T2.

[0107] When the jet mode is switched to the reflux mode, the reflux time t times is calculated, where the reflux time threshold t threshold is in the range of 0.5≤t threshold ≤60s. If the reflux time threshold corresponding to the current cooking stage is set to 30s. If yes, that is, when it is determined that t times is greater than or equal to the reflux time threshold t threshold, it proves that the amount of water in the cooking cavity is sufficient and jet emulsification can be performed, then step 407 is executed. If no, the cooking continues to run in the reflux mode.

[0108] Alternatively, it is determined whether the temperature change value ΔT2 is greater than or equal to the second set temperature threshold value T2. The second set temperature threshold value T2 here is that the temperature change is 0.5-10°C when the second set time Δt2 is 0-30s. When the second set temperature threshold value is greater than or equal to T2, it proves that the emulsion flows back to the pot body to cause the temperature to decrease, and the water in the cooking cavity is sufficient, and jet emulsification can be performed, then step 407 is executed, if not, it continues to operate in the reflux mode.

[0109] Step 407: Control to switch the reflow mode to the jet mode.

[0110] Here, the power of the heating device is adjusted to switch from P2 to P1, and the reflux mode is controlled to switch to the jet mode. Here, P1>P2. Here, in the reflux mode, most of the liquid formed is gathered in the cooking cavity. At this time, the liquid cannot enter the jet emulsification device for emulsification. The reflux mode is controlled to switch to the jet mode, and the liquid in the cooking cavity can be jet emulsified again, which can make the liquid richer and milkier, and improve the taste of the soup.

[0111] Step 408: Determine whether the running time is greater than or equal to the cooking time.

[0112] The cooking time ttotal of the cooking device is determined to be the cooking time set for cooking food. Within the range of the cooking time ttotal, the operation mode of the heating device can be switched multiple times to repeatedly perform jet emulsification on the soup. When the operation time t is determined to be greater than or equal to the cooking time ttotal, cooking is terminated at this time, and step 409 is executed. If not, that is, the operation time t is less than the cooking time ttotal, cooking continues, and step 402 is executed until the user terminates cooking or until the cooking time ttotal is exceeded.

[0113] Step 409: The program ends.

[0114] In this way, the operating mode of the heating device is controlled by the temperature change value of the cooking equipment. When there is a lack of water in the cooking chamber, the jet mode can be switched to the reflux mode to effectively avoid dry burning. Based on the emulsification effect of the jet mode, the richness and taste of the soup after cooking can be effectively improved.
