Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heating control, and in particular to a cooking device heating control method and a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of cooking equipment, the demand for cooking equipment products has also increased year by year. Taking rice cookers as an example, the product categories and functions of rice cookers have become more and more diverse. However, the quality of rice and porridge cooked by rice cookers is easily affected by the heating logic and environment of the rice cooker, and sometimes it is difficult to meet the needs of users.

[0003] The traditional heating logic of rice cookers is usually to heat the rice in the rice cooker with a higher heat at the beginning of heating. After heating for a certain period of time, switch to heating the rice in the rice cooker with a lower heat. This can reduce problems such as rice overflowing from the pot and undercooked rice to a certain extent.

[0004] However, the heating logic in the traditional solution is relatively simple, and the quality of rice cooked by the rice cooker is easily affected by the environment. If the same heating logic is used for different environments, it is easy to cause the quality of the rice to be uncontrollable, that is, the cooking effect of the traditional rice cooker is not good.

Therefore, the altitude environment of the cooking device can be determined according to the temperature of the cooking device after heating, and then different heating logics are used to control the heating of the cooking device in different altitude environments, which can reduce the negative impact of the altitude environment on the cooking effect of the cooking device, thereby improving the cooking effect of the cooking device.

For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first resistor may be referred to as a second resistor, and similarly, a second resistor may be referred to as a first resistor.

At the same time, the term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0058] The cooking device heating control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the cooking device 100 shown in FIG1 . The heating component 110 and the temperature sensing component 120 in the cooking device 100 communicate with the controller 130 .

[0059] Specifically, the temperature in the cooking device may be collected by the temperature sensing component 120 and sent to the controller 130. When the temperature sensing component 120 collects that the cooking device is heated to a first preset temperature, the controller 130 controls the heating component 110 to heat for a first preset heating time at a preset first heating duty cycle. The temperature sensing component 120 collects the temperature of the cooking device after heating and sends it to the controller 130. The controller 130 determines the altitude environment of the cooking device according to the temperature of the cooking device after heating, and then controls the heating component 110 to heat the cooking device according to the altitude environment.

[0060] In this embodiment, by setting up a temperature sensing component and a heating component, the temperature of the cooking device can be detected in real time, and the heating duty cycle of the heating component can be controlled accordingly, so that the cooking device can switch different heating logics for different altitude environments, thereby improving the cooking effect of the cooking device.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the temperature sensing component 120 includes a top temperature sensing component 121 and a bottom temperature sensing component 122 .

[0062] It should be noted that the cooking equipment in the present application refers to electrical equipment with heating and cooking functions, such as rice cookers, electric pressure cookers, etc. The following embodiments all take the cooking equipment as a rice cooker as an example to explain the present application scheme. When the rice cooker is cooking rice, the bottom temperature sensing component 122 can more accurately reflect the temperature of the rice cooker, but when the rice cooker is cooking porridge, the rice cooker is in a state where there is water in the pot continuously. As the heating time increases, the temperature collected by the bottom temperature sensing component 122 will basically not change or change very little, and it is difficult to judge the heating condition of the rice cooker by the temperature collected by the bottom temperature sensing component 122. By arranging the top temperature sensing component 121 on the top of the rice cooker, the temperature of the steam in the rice cooker can be collected in real time. The temperature of the steam changes significantly with the heating time, so it can better reflect the heating condition of the rice cooker.

[0063] In this embodiment, by providing a bottom temperature sensing component and a top temperature sensing component, a more accurate temperature of the cooking device can be collected in real time, providing a reliable basis for subsequent judgment of the heating condition of the cooking device and the altitude environment in which the cooking device is located.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a cooking device heating control method is provided, which is described by taking the method applied to the controller 130 in FIG. 1 as an example, and includes the following steps:

[0065] S200, when the cooking device is heated to a first preset temperature, controlling the cooking device to heat for a first preset heating time at a preset first heating duty cycle, and determining the temperature of the cooking device after heating.

[0066] The first preset temperature refers to the temperature reached by the cooking device after initial heating, because the heating process in the initial stage is similar regardless of the altitude environment, and the value range of the first preset temperature can be between 42 degrees Celsius and 82 degrees Celsius. The heating duty cycle refers to the percentage of the time when the heating component in the cooking device is turned on for heating to the total working time. The larger the heating duty cycle, the greater the heating power. For example, a heating duty cycle of 50% means that the ratio of the heating time of the heating component to the stopping time of heating is 1:1.

[0067] Exemplarily, during the heating process of the rice cooker, the temperature of the rice cooker can be collected in real time through the top temperature sensing component. When it is detected that the temperature reaches a first preset temperature, the controller of the rice cooker controls the rice cooker to switch to a preset first heating duty cycle, and maintains the first heating duty cycle within the first preset heating time, and collects the temperature of the rice cooker after heating through the top temperature sensing component.

[0068] S400: Determine the altitude environment of the cooking device according to the temperature of the cooking device after heating.

[0069] Among them, the altitude environment refers to the height of the cooking equipment relative to the sea level. The altitude has a direct impact on the air pressure and the boiling point of water. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure and the lower the boiling point of water, which also has a direct impact on the cooking effect of the cooking equipment.

[0070] Exemplarily, the temperature sensing component on the top of the rice cooker collects the temperature of the rice cooker, and combined with the relationship between altitude and boiling point, the controller of the rice cooker can quickly calculate the altitude of the rice cooker. Specifically, in a low-altitude environment, the air pressure is higher, the boiling point of water is higher, and the temperature of the rice cooker at low altitude after heating is higher than that at high altitude when heated at the same heating duty cycle for the same time. In this way, the altitude environment of the rice cooker can be judged according to the temperature of the rice cooker after heating.

[0071] In addition, in the actual working process, the temperature collected by the top temperature sensing component is easily affected by other external factors. In order to reduce the influence of such factors, the top temperature sensing component can be controlled to collect the temperature of the rice cooker multiple times, and the median or average is used as the temperature of the rice cooker after heating.

[0072] S600, controls the heating of cooking equipment according to the altitude environment.

[0073] Following the above steps, after determining the altitude environment of the electric cooker according to the temperature after the electric cooker is heated, the electric cooker is dynamically heated and controlled. Specifically, according to the altitude of the electric cooker, the heating parameters of the heating component of the electric cooker are adjusted, including but not limited to the heating duty cycle, the heating time, etc., so that the electric cooker can have a better heating effect in different altitude environments.

[0074] For example, when the rice cooker is in a high altitude environment, the boiling point of water is lowered, which may cause the food to be undercooked or insufficiently heated. Therefore, the heating time of the rice cooker can be controlled to be longer, and after a certain period of heating, the heating duty cycle of the rice cooker needs to be reduced, so that the rice cooker does not heat the food at high power for a long time, causing the food to overflow or the porridge to be too thick. When the rice cooker is at normal altitude, the boiling point of water is relatively high, and the temperature of the rice cooker continues to rise for a period of time until it is heated to the boiling point. At this time, the heating duty cycle of the rice cooker can also be dynamically reduced to reduce the phenomenon of food overflow and porridge being too thick.

[0075] In addition, when the rice cooker detects that it is in a high-altitude environment, it can also enter the high-altitude heating mode. In this mode, the rice cooker will automatically extend the heating time or increase the heating duty cycle. After heating for a period of time, it will automatically reduce the heating duty cycle, or simulate normal altitude conditions by lowering the air pressure in the rice cooker cavity to adapt to the cooking needs of high-altitude environments.

[0076] The above-mentioned cooking device heating control method, when controlling the cooking device to heat to the first preset temperature, does not continue to control the cooking device to heat with the same heating duty cycle, but first determines the altitude environment of the cooking device. Specifically, the cooking device is first controlled to heat with the preset first heating duty cycle for the first preset time to determine the temperature of the cooking device after heating. This is because the boiling point of water is different at different altitudes. As a result, at high altitudes, after the cooking device is heated for a certain period of time, the temperature of the cooking device will no longer continue to rise, while at low altitudes, the temperature of the cooking device will continue to rise within the same heating time. Therefore, the altitude environment of the cooking device can be determined based on the temperature of the cooking device after heating, and then different heating logics are used to control the heating of the cooking device in different altitude environments, which can reduce the negative impact of the altitude environment on the cooking effect of the cooking device, thereby improving the cooking effect of the cooking device.

[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, S400 includes:

[0078] S410: When the temperature of the cooking device after heating is greater than a first preset temperature threshold, determine that the cooking device is at a first altitude.

[0079] S420, when the temperature of the cooking device after heating is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, control the cooking device to heat with a first heating duty cycle for a second preset heating time, determine the temperature of the cooking device after heating again, and the first preset heating time is greater than the second preset heating time.

[0080] S430: Determine the altitude environment of the cooking device according to the temperature of the cooking device after reheating.

[0081] The value range of the first preset threshold value may be 75-85 degrees Celsius, which is close to the boiling point of water at high altitudes. This is because at high altitudes, the temperature of the rice cooker usually does not exceed the boiling point of water. Therefore, after the rice cooker is heated for a period of time, if the temperature is higher than the first preset threshold value, it can be said that the rice cooker is at a normal altitude, i.e., a first altitude. The first altitude refers to the altitude range when the rice cooker works under standard atmospheric pressure or an environment close to standard atmospheric pressure.

[0082] Exemplarily, the controller in the rice cooker reads the temperature of the rice cooker after heating for a period of time through the top temperature sensing component, and the controller compares the temperature read by the top temperature sensing component with the first preset temperature threshold. If it is greater than the first preset temperature threshold, it can be determined that the rice cooker is at the first altitude, that is, the normal altitude. In order to improve the fault tolerance of the judgment mechanism, when the temperature of the rice cooker after heating is less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, it cannot be directly judged that the rice cooker is not under normal altitude conditions, because it is also possible that the heating time is not enough to cause the temperature of the rice cooker to be less than the first preset temperature threshold. At this time, the heating component should be controlled to continue heating the second preset heating time, and the top temperature sensing component should be controlled to collect the temperature of the rice cooker after heating again, and the altitude environment of the rice cooker should be judged again according to the temperature after heating. For example, if the temperature after heating again is greater than the first preset temperature threshold, it means that the rice cooker is at the first altitude, otherwise it means that the rice cooker is in a high altitude environment, and then the heating control logic can be selected according to the different altitude environments where the rice cooker is located.

[0083] It should be noted that the first preset heating time is greater than the second preset heating time. For example, the first preset heating time is 50 minutes, and the second preset heating time is 5-10 minutes. Compared with the first preset heating time, the second preset heating time is often shorter, so that the altitude environment of the rice cooker can be judged through rapid temperature detection.

[0084] In this embodiment, by analyzing the temperature of the cooking device after being heated for a period of time, the altitude environment of the cooking device can be quickly determined. In addition, a secondary determination mechanism is additionally added to make the determination result more accurate and reliable, providing an effective basis for the subsequent use of different heating control logics for different altitude environments.

[0085] In one embodiment, S430 includes: when the temperature of the cooking device after reheating is greater than a first preset temperature threshold, determining that the cooking device is at a first altitude; when the temperature of the cooking device after reheating is less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, determining that the cooking device is at a second altitude, and the first altitude is less than the second altitude.

[0086] Among them, the first altitude refers to normal altitude, when the air pressure and boiling point of water are relatively high, and the second altitude refers to high altitude, when the air pressure and boiling point of water are relatively low.

[0087] Exemplarily, the temperature of the rice cooker after reheating is collected by the top temperature sensing component. If the temperature after reheating is greater than the first preset temperature threshold, it means that the temperature of the rice cooker is less than the first preset temperature threshold because the heating time is not long enough during the last judgment. After reheating for a period of time, it can be greater than the first preset temperature threshold. Therefore, the rice cooker is at the first altitude, i.e., normal altitude. If the temperature after reheating is still less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, it means that even if the heating time is longer, the temperature of the rice cooker is difficult to rise to exceed the first preset temperature threshold, so the rice cooker is at the second altitude, i.e., high altitude.

[0088] In this embodiment, by utilizing the different boiling points of water at different altitudes, the controller of the cooking device can quickly and accurately determine the current altitude environment. This temperature judgment mechanism is simple and accurate, which improves the intelligence of the cooking device and reduces the complexity of user operation.

[0089] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, S600 includes:

[0090] S610, when the cooking device is at a first altitude, controlling the cooking device to heat with a preset first heating duty cycle until the cooking device is heated to a second preset temperature, where the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0091] S620, controlling the cooking device to heat at a preset second heating duty cycle, wherein the first heating duty cycle is greater than the second heating duty cycle.

[0092] Among them, the second preset temperature refers to the temperature that needs to be reached during the heating process of the cooking equipment, which is usually the boiling point of water at normal altitude, and can also be selected according to different cooking ingredients.

[0093] Exemplarily, when the rice cooker is at a normal altitude, the heating component can continue to be controlled to heat the rice cooker with the first heating duty cycle. This is because the first preset temperature threshold value ranges from 75 to 85 degrees Celsius, which has not yet reached the boiling point of water at normal altitude. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to heat the rice cooker with a larger heating duty cycle to quickly increase the temperature of the rice cooker. When the rice cooker is heated to the second temperature, in order to reduce excessive energy consumption, overheating of ingredients, overflow of ingredients, and sticky porridge, it is necessary to reduce the heating duty cycle of the heating component, switch from the second heating duty cycle to the second heating duty cycle, and continue to heat the ingredients in the rice cooker with less firepower.

[0094] In the present embodiment, when the electric rice cooker is at a normal altitude, the electric rice cooker is heated with a relatively large firepower, so that the electric rice cooker heats up quickly and the heating time is reduced. In addition, the temperature of the electric rice cooker is monitored in real time during the heating process. After the second preset temperature is reached, the heating firepower is reduced so that the temperature of the electric rice cooker can fluctuate within a small range close to the second preset temperature. This not only saves the energy consumption of the electric rice cooker, but also reduces the risk of overheating of food.

[0095] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, S600 includes:

[0096] S630: When the cooking device is at a second altitude, control the cooking device to heat with a preset second heating duty cycle, and the first heating duty cycle is greater than the second heating duty cycle.

[0097] Exemplarily, when the rice cooker is in a high altitude environment, when the heating time reaches a certain value, the temperature of the rice cooker will no longer continue to rise, but will be close to the boiling point of water at high altitude. Therefore, the temperature of the rice cooker may not reach the above-mentioned second preset temperature, and the heating control logic of the rice cooker at normal altitude will no longer be applicable to high altitudes.

[0098] Therefore, when it is determined that the rice cooker is at a high altitude, the temperature of the rice cooker has reached the second preset temperature, which is close to the boiling point of water at high altitude. At this time, if heating is continued with a larger duty cycle, the temperature of the rice cooker will not rise significantly. Therefore, at this time, the smaller second heating duty cycle can be directly switched to continue heating the ingredients in the rice cooker with less firepower, which can also reduce the evaporation of water in the rice cooker.

[0099] In this embodiment, the cooking device can switch the heating control logic according to different altitude environments. For high-altitude environments, taking into account the characteristics of temperature changes of the cooking device, when the cooking device is heated to the first preset temperature, it switches to heating with a smaller firepower, which can reduce the evaporation of moisture in the ingredients in the cooking device and improve the cooking effect.

[0100] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, before S200, the cooking device heating control method further includes:

[0101] S110, controlling the cooking device to heat to a starting temperature with a preset starting heating duty cycle, determining a starting heating time for the cooking device to heat to the starting temperature, the starting heating duty cycle being greater than a preset first heating duty cycle.

[0102] S120: Determine the amount of food in the cooking device according to the starting heating time.

[0103] S130, controlling the cooking device to heat to a first preset temperature according to the amount of food in the cooking device.

[0104] The initial heating duty cycle refers to the duty cycle at the initial stage of heating of the cooking device, which is generally higher and greater than the preset first heating duty cycle, and is used to quickly heat up the cooking device. The initial heating time refers to the time it takes for the cooking device to heat to the initial temperature, which is related to the amount of food in the cooking device. The more food, the longer the initial heating time.

[0105] Exemplarily, after the rice cooker is started, for example, the user presses the start button, the heating component of the rice cooker begins to heat the rice cooker with an initial heating duty cycle, and the top temperature sensing component of the rice cooker continues to collect the temperature of the rice cooker. When the rice cooker is heated to the starting temperature, the starting heating time of the rice cooker is determined as a basis for judging the amount of food.

[0106] Furthermore, the controller of the rice cooker may pre-store the correspondence between the starting heating time and the amount of food. Combined with the starting heating time of the rice cooker, the controller may analyze the amount of food in the rice cooker. In addition, the user may be informed of the amount of food through the display screen of the rice cooker or the voice interaction device. Then, according to the amount of food, the controller may adjust the heating duty cycle of the heating component. For example, when the amount of food is relatively large, the heating component may be controlled to adopt a larger heating duty cycle. When the amount of food is relatively small, the heating component may be controlled to adopt a smaller heating duty cycle. In addition, the working time of the heating component may also be changed. When the amount of food is relatively large, the working time of the heating component may be controlled to be longer.

[0107] In this embodiment, by analyzing the heating time of the cooking device to heat to the starting temperature, the amount of food in the cooking device can be accurately and quickly analyzed, and then the heating control logic can be optimized according to different amounts of food, which can improve the cooking effect of the cooking device.

[0108] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, S120 includes:

[0109] S121: When the initial heating time is greater than a preset heating time threshold, determining that the amount of food in the cooking device is a first amount of food.

[0110] S122: When the initial heating time is less than or equal to the preset heating time threshold, it is determined that the amount of food in the cooking device is a second amount of food, and the first amount of food is greater than the second amount of food.

[0111] Following the above embodiment, the heating component of the electric rice cooker is controlled to continuously heat the electric rice cooker with the initial heating duty cycle until the temperature of the electric rice cooker collected by the top temperature sensing component reaches the initial temperature. If the amount of food in the electric rice cooker is relatively large, the heating time may be longer. Therefore, when the initial heating time is greater than the preset heating time threshold, the amount of food in the electric rice cooker can be determined to be the first amount of food, that is, the large amount of food. A smaller amount of food means a faster heating speed and a shorter initial heating time. Therefore, when the initial heating time is less than or equal to the preset heating time threshold, the amount of food in the electric rice cooker can be determined to be the second amount of food, that is, the small amount of food.

[0112] In this embodiment, by pre-determining the amount of food in the cooking device, different heating control logics can be used for different amounts of food, thereby improving the intelligence level of the cooking device and the cooking effect of the cooking device.

[0113] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, S130 includes:

[0114] S131, when the amount of food in the cooking device is a first amount of food, controlling the cooking device to heat to a first preset temperature with a preset first initial heating duty cycle.

[0115] S132, when the amount of food in the cooking device is the second amount of food, controlling the cooking device to heat to a first preset temperature with a preset second initial heating duty cycle, the first initial heating duty cycle being greater than the second initial heating duty cycle.

[0116] Continuing with the above embodiment, when it is determined that the amount of food in the rice cooker is the first amount of food, that is, a large amount of food, it should be switched to a higher heating duty cycle for heating, that is, the first initial heating duty cycle should be higher than the heating duty cycle of the initial heating stage. This is because if the initial heating duty cycle is continued to be used for heating, it may result in insufficient heating of the food, too long heating time, etc.

[0117] When it is determined that the amount of food in the rice cooker is the second amount of food, that is, a small amount of food, the heating should be switched to a lower heating duty cycle, that is, the second initial heating duty cycle should be lower than the heating duty cycle of the initial heating stage. This is because if the initial heating duty cycle is continued to be used for heating, the food may overheat or overflow.

[0118] In this embodiment, the cooking equipment can adjust the heating duty cycle and heating control logic according to the different amounts of ingredients. A smaller heating duty cycle is adopted for small amounts of ingredients, and a larger heating duty cycle is adopted for large amounts of ingredients. This not only improves the heating efficiency of the cooking equipment, but also improves the cooking effect of the cooking equipment.

[0119] In one embodiment, before S100, the method further includes: controlling the cooking device to heat for a preset self-test time, determining a self-test temperature of the cooking device, determining a temperature state of the cooking device according to the self-test temperature, and determining a starting temperature according to the temperature state.

[0120] The preset self-test time refers to the time for the cooking device to heat up and self-test before starting actual cooking, and the self-test process refers to a short-term heating process performed when the cooking device is not loaded to identify the temperature state of the cooking device. The self-test temperature refers to the temperature value measured by the temperature sensing component of the cooking device during the self-test process, which reflects the temperature state of the cooking device. The temperature state is a state indicator of the cooking device during the self-test process, which can be divided into a cold pot and a hot pot. When the cooking device heats the same amount of water, when the water in the cooking device reaches the same temperature, the temperature collected by the temperature sensing component of the hot pot is higher than the temperature collected by the temperature sensing component of the cold pot.

[0121] Exemplarily, taking the preset self-test time of 3 seconds as an example, the rice cooker is heated for 3 seconds with an empty pot, and the self-test temperature of the rice cooker is collected by the top temperature sensing component. If the self-test temperature is less than 42 degrees Celsius, the temperature state of the rice cooker is judged to be a cold pot. If the self-test temperature is greater than or equal to 42 degrees Celsius, the temperature state of the rice cooker is judged to be a hot pot. In the subsequent heating stage, when the temperature collected by the top temperature sensing component is equal to the starting temperature, it is necessary to switch the heating duty cycle of the rice cooker. Under the same water temperature, the temperature collected by the top temperature sensing component of the hot pot will be slightly greater than the temperature collected by the top temperature sensing component of the cold pot. In order to make the temperature collected by the top temperature sensing component accurately reflect the temperature of the rice cooker, the starting temperature of the cold pot should be slightly lower than that of the hot pot, for example, about 10 degrees Celsius lower.

[0122] In this embodiment, the temperature state of the cooking device can be effectively identified through the self-inspection link of the cooking device, and then the starting temperature of the cooking device can be set, so that the temperature collected by the temperature sensing component in the cooking device can more accurately reflect the temperature of the cooking device, thereby switching the heating duty cycle at the right time and improving the cooking effect of the cooking device.

[0123] In order to provide a more detailed description of the cooking device heating control method provided by the present application, the following is a Figure 7 A detailed embodiment is described and described, and the detailed embodiment includes the following steps:

Furthermore, according to the temperature of the cooking device after heating for a period of time, the altitude environment of the cooking device is identified, and the heating duty cycle is adaptively adjusted according to the altitude environment. The cooking device can be intelligently adapted to different environments and different amounts of food, thereby improving the intelligence of the cooking device and the cooking effect.
