Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent kitchenware, and in particular to an intelligent maintenance method and device for cookware. Background Art

[0002] In real life, cooking equipment such as integrated pots and automatic food processors are popular because they are safer and more convenient when cooking. Before using cooking equipment for cooking, the pots need to be maintained, otherwise the pots are prone to sticking and burning when cooking. At present, the pot maintenance of cooking equipment is usually done manually by users. Users need to remove the pots and take them to the stove for pot maintenance, and then install them on the cooking equipment after completion. In practice, pot maintenance is a very frequent operation. Due to the different types and needs of the dishes cooked by users, some maintain the pot every few days, some maintain the pot several times a day, some maintain the pot for every meal, and some maintain the pot for one dish! With such a high operation frequency, frequent pot maintenance is not only easy to damage the pots and cooking equipment, but also consumes a lot of time and energy of users, and is even not feasible in many cases. For example: in the case of one dish per maintenance, pot maintenance is part of the cooking process, and the subsequent cooking process needs to be started immediately after the pot maintenance, so it is impossible to remove the pot and maintain the pot. Therefore, for automatic / semi-automatic cooking equipment, it is necessary to keep the pot on the machine instead of frequently removing the pot and taking it to another stove to keep the pot. At the same time, it is also an urgent problem to replace people with automatic / semi-automatic pot-keeping operations of machines to improve efficiency, save operators' time and energy, and reduce labor intensity.

[0003] Pot maintenance is a technical job. So far, pot maintenance is still done manually in the cooking industry.

Optionally, the cooking device is provided with a control panel, and the user may trigger a pot maintenance request on the control panel; or, the cooking device is provided with a wireless remote control device, and the user may trigger a pot maintenance request on the wireless remote control device, and then the wireless remote control device sends the pot maintenance request or the pot maintenance instruction generated based on the pot maintenance request to the cooking device through wireless short-range communication; or, the cooking device has a remote control program that matches it, and the user may trigger the pot maintenance request on a user terminal (such as a smart phone) installed with the remote control program, and the user terminal sends the pot maintenance request to a cloud server that controls the pot maintenance process of the cooking device, and then the cloud server sends the pot maintenance request or the pot maintenance instruction generated based on the pot maintenance request to the cooking device.

[0133] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the pot maintenance instructions may include a roasting pot instruction and a pot maintenance instruction. The pot maintenance instruction may include an independent pot maintenance instruction and a cooking pot maintenance instruction. The pot maintenance process of the independent pot maintenance instruction is not part of the dish cooking process. The pot maintenance process of the cooking pot maintenance instruction is part of the dish cooking process. The cooking pot maintenance instructions include a pot lubrication instruction and a hot pot and cooling oil instruction. The pot lubrication instruction is used to control the pot lubrication process in the dish cooking process. The hot pot and cooling oil instruction is used to control the hot pot and cooling oil process in the dish cooking process.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the heating structure may be a heating structure inside the cooking device, such as a heating tube, or may be a heating structure outside the cooking device, such as a gas stove, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the target heating parameters corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction, such as the heating time threshold and the heating temperature threshold, can be pre-set by the user or the manufacturer of the cooking equipment, or can be obtained by analyzing the pot parameters of the target pot, the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction, etc. through a pre-built model, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0136] 102. Add the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot.

[0137] As an optional implementation, adding the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot may include:

[0138] Based on the predetermined target input amount of the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction, controlling the liquid input structure corresponding to the cooking device to input the pot treatment liquid into the target pot; or,

[0139] A pot treatment liquid adding reminder is sent to the user to prompt the user to add the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot.

[0140] Specifically, when the liquid input structure is controlled to input the cookware treatment liquid into the target cookware, the input amount of the cookware treatment liquid can be monitored in real time. When the input amount reaches the target input amount, the liquid input structure is controlled to stop inputting the cookware treatment liquid.

[0141] Optionally, the liquid type of the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction and its target input liquid volume can be pre-set by the user or the manufacturer of the cooking equipment, or can be obtained by analyzing the pot parameters of the target pot through a pre-built model. For example, the pot treatment liquid required to be used can be obtained by analyzing the pot material of the target pot and the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction, and the target input liquid volume required to be input can be obtained by analyzing the capacity of the target pot, the area of ​​the surface to be maintained, and the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Preferably, the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the scalding pot instruction is one or more of water, cleaning liquid, and oil, and the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction is oil.

[0142] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the liquid input structure may be a pressing device, such as a pressing pump, or a valve device, such as a water valve, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0143] It can be seen that in this way, not only can the user manually add the cookware treatment liquid, but the cookware treatment liquid can also be added automatically, which improves the convenience of adding the cookware treatment liquid.

[0144] 103. Control a driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive a driving object corresponding to the cooking device to perform corresponding movement, so as to maintain the surface to be maintained of the target cookware.

[0145] As an optional implementation, controlling a driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive its corresponding driving object to perform corresponding movement so as to maintain the surface to be maintained of the target cookware may include:

[0146] Controlling a stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive a stirring structure of the cooking device to stir the pot treatment liquid so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot, the driving component corresponding to the cooking device may include a stirring driving component, and the driving object corresponding to the stirring driving component may include a stirring structure; and / or,

[0147] The pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the target pot to perform pot movement so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the surface to be maintained of the target pot is evenly heated. The driving component corresponding to the cooking device may include a pot driving component, and the driving object corresponding to the pot driving component may include the target pot.

[0148] In this optional embodiment, the stirring structure may be any structure with a stirring function, such as a stirring blade, a stirring brush, a stirring roller, etc. Preferably, the stirring structure is a stirring structure attached to the pot that can contact the inner surface of the pot. The stirring structure may be installed on the pot cover, or installed in other stirring drive components that allow the stirring structure to contact the pot treatment liquid in the pot, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this. When the pot treatment liquid is oil, the oil can be stirred by controlling the stirring structure, so that the oil gathered at the bottom of the target pot can be evenly applied to the entire surface to be maintained of the target pot, forming an oil film on the surface to be maintained to achieve the pot maintenance effect.

[0149] In this optional embodiment, optionally, the movement of the pot may include flipping movement and / or rotational movement. Taking the drum pot as an example, the drum pot may perform one or both of flipping movement and rotational movement, and may even perform rotational movement.

[0150] It can be seen that implementing this optional embodiment enables the stirring structure to stir the cookware treatment liquid so that the cookware treatment liquid is evenly applied to the surface to be maintained, and also enables the cookware to rotate, flip, and perform other movements, which is not only beneficial for the cookware treatment liquid to be evenly distributed on the surface to be maintained, but also beneficial for the cookware to be evenly heated, thereby improving the effect of cookware maintenance.

[0151] In other embodiments, optionally, there is no priority relationship in the order of starting execution of step 101, step 102, and step 103, that is, step 102 may be started first, and then step 101 and step 103, or step 103 may be started first, and then step 101 and step 102.

[0152] It can be seen that when the embodiment of the present invention needs to maintain the cookware of the cooking device, the heating structure is controlled to heat it, and the corresponding cookware treatment liquid is input, and then the corresponding driving component is controlled to drive the corresponding driving object to move, thereby automatically realizing the intelligent maintenance of the cookware of the cooking device. There is no need for the user to disassemble the cookware and manually perform the cookware maintenance treatment, which improves the efficiency and effect of the cookware maintenance of the cooking device and reduces the damage to the cooking device caused by the user's poor ability to disassemble and assemble the cooking device and the proficiency in cookware maintenance.

[0153] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include:

[0154] When receiving a pot maintenance request triggered by a user for a cooking device, generating a pot maintenance instruction for the cooking device according to the pot maintenance request; or,

[0155] According to the real-time pot status of the target pot of the cooking device, it is determined whether the target pot needs maintenance. When it is determined that the target pot needs maintenance, a pot maintenance instruction for the cooking device is generated according to the real-time pot status.

[0156] Optionally, the real-time pot status of the target pot is used to indicate whether the target pot has a sticking phenomenon, a rusting phenomenon, etc.

[0157] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can not only generate cookware maintenance instructions based on the cookware maintenance request triggered by the user, but also automatically generate cookware maintenance instructions when the real-time cookware status indicates that maintenance is required, thereby improving the intelligence level of cookware maintenance, facilitating timely maintenance of the cookware, and extending the service life of the cookware.

[0158] In this optional embodiment, when the real-time pot state indicates that the target pot has a sticking phenomenon, before controlling the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device to heat the target pot of the cooking device, the method may further include:

[0159] Controlling the liquid input structure corresponding to the cooking device to input the pot cleaning liquid into the target pot; controlling the stirring structure corresponding to the cooking device to stir the sticky material in the target pot so that the sticky material is separated from the surface of the target pot; or

[0160] The heating structure corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to heat the target pot with a treatment liquid so that the sticky objects are carbonized and separated from the surface of the target pot.

[0161] It can be seen that when the pot is sticking, the implementation of this optional embodiment can also control the cooking equipment to automatically clean the sticking objects or heat to carbonize the sticking objects, which enriches the functions of the cooking equipment and is beneficial to improving the effect of subsequent pot maintenance.

[0162] In this optional implementation, as another optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0163] Collect the heating temperature condition of the cooking area of ​​the target cookware when it is in use, determine the temperature distribution uniformity of the cooking area according to the heating temperature condition, and determine the real-time cookware state of the target cookware according to the temperature distribution uniformity; or,

[0164] The smoke parameters of the target cookware when in use are collected, and the real-time cookware status of the target cookware is determined according to the smoke parameters. Optionally, the smoke parameters may include smoke concentration.

[0165] When a cookware sticks, the temperature of the sticking portion is much higher than that of the non-sticking portion and a large amount of smoke will be generated. Therefore, this optional implementation can be used to determine whether the cookware is sticking based on the temperature distribution uniformity and the smoke parameters, that is, to determine the real-time cookware status of the cookware, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of determining the real-time cookware status of the cookware.

[0166] In yet another optional embodiment, the method may further include:

[0167] According to the instruction type of the cookware maintenance instruction, a cookware maintenance parameter matching the cookware maintenance instruction is determined, the cookware maintenance parameter may include a target heating parameter corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction and / or a target input liquid amount of the cookware treatment liquid corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction, the target heating parameter may include a cookware heating parameter and / or a treatment liquid heating parameter, the cookware heating parameter may include a heating temperature threshold for the target cookware and / or a heating time threshold for the target cookware, and the treatment liquid heating parameter may include a heating temperature threshold for the cookware treatment liquid and / or a heating time threshold for the cookware treatment liquid.

[0168] Optionally, the target input liquid volume corresponding to the simmering pot instruction is greater than or equal to the target input liquid volume corresponding to the pot-maintaining instruction. For example, the target input liquid volume corresponding to the simmering pot instruction may be 1200 ml, and the target input liquid volume corresponding to the pot-maintaining instruction may be 100 ml. In the pot-maintaining instruction, the target input liquid volume corresponding to the independent pot-maintaining instruction is greater than or equal to the target input liquid volume corresponding to the cooking pot-maintaining instruction. In the cooking pot-maintaining instruction, the target input liquid volume corresponding to the pot-lubricating instruction is greater than or equal to the target input liquid volume corresponding to the hot pot and cold oil.

[0169] Optionally, the target heating parameter corresponding to the simmering pot instruction may be greater than or equal to the target heating parameter corresponding to the pot-keeping instruction. For example, the heating time threshold for the target pot in the simmering pot instruction may be 90 seconds, and the heating time threshold for the target pot in the pot-keeping instruction may be 40 seconds. In the pot-keeping instruction, the target heating parameter corresponding to the independent pot-keeping instruction may be greater than or equal to the target heating parameter corresponding to the cooking pot-keeping instruction.

[0170] Optionally, controlling the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device to heat the target pot of the cooking device may include:

[0171] Based on the target heating parameter, the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to heat the target pot of the cooking device.

[0172] Specifically, in the process of controlling the heating structure to heat the target cook, if the heating time for the target cook reaches the heating time threshold for the target cook, the heating structure is controlled to stop heating the target cook; alternatively, if the heating time for the cook treatment liquid reaches the heating time threshold for the cook treatment liquid, the heating structure is controlled to stop heating the target cook.

[0173] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can adopt different cookware maintenance parameters for different cookware maintenance instructions, achieve precise control of the input amount of cookware treatment liquid and precise control of cookware heating, and further improve the effect of cookware maintenance.

[0174] In an optional embodiment, before or during the process of controlling the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device to heat the target pot of the cooking device, the method may further include:

[0175] Controlling the stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive the stirring structure of the cooking device to perform heat-avoiding movement;

[0176] Among them, controlling the stirring component corresponding to the cooking device to drive the stirring structure of the cooking device to perform heat-avoiding movement may include:

[0177] Controlling a stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive a stirring structure of the cooking device to move away from the pot, so that the distance between the stirring structure and the surface to be maintained of a target pot of the cooking device is greater than or equal to a predetermined target distance threshold; or

[0178] Based on a predetermined heat avoidance trajectory matching the stirring structure of the cooking device, the stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the stirring structure to move so that the stirring structure deviates from the high-heat area of ​​the target pot of the cooking device for part or all of the time.

[0179] In this optional embodiment, optionally, the movement deviating from the pot movement may include an upward movement and / or a translational movement in the horizontal direction. The movement performed by driving the stirring structure according to the heat avoidance trajectory may be a sticking-to-the-pot movement or a non-sticking-to-the-pot movement. It may also be a part-time sticking-to-the-pot movement and a part-time non-sticking-to-the-pot movement. This is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0180] Optionally, if the target cookware is a frying pan, the stirring structure may be driven to move away from the cookware; if the target cookware is a drum pot, the stirring structure may be driven to move.

[0181] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can keep the stirring structure away from the heated area when the heating structure heats the cookware, thereby reducing damage to the stirring structure caused by the high heating temperature of the cookware.

[0182] In this optional embodiment, as an optional implementation, the method may further include:

[0183] Determine a target distance threshold between a stirring structure of the cooking device and the target cookware according to a heating requirement corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction and cookware parameters of a target cookware of the cooking device, wherein the target distance threshold is used to represent a minimum safe distance between the stirring structure and the target cookware when the target cookware is heated based on a heating temperature; or

[0184] According to the pot parameters of the target pot of the cooking equipment and the pot motion parameters that match the target pot when heated, the changing trend of the heated area of ​​the target pot when heated is determined; according to the changing trend of the heated area and the heating demand corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction, the heat avoidance trajectory that matches the stirring structure of the cooking equipment when the target pot is heated based on the heating temperature is determined.

[0185] Optionally, the cookware parameters may include one or more of the cookware type of the target cookware, the cookware specification of the target cookware, the cookware shape of the target cookware, the cookware material of the target cookware, the location of the surface to be maintained of the target cookware, and the heating area of ​​the heating structure.

[0186] Optionally, the heating requirement may include a heating temperature requirement and / or a heating uniformity requirement.

[0187] It can be seen that implementing this optional implementation method can determine the shortest safe distance that the stirring structure needs to be away from the cookware according to the required heating temperature of the cookware and the cookware parameters, or determine the heat avoidance trajectory of the stirring structure according to the changing trend of the heated area of ​​the cookware, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the cookware heat avoidance and further reducing the damage to the stirring structure caused by the high heating temperature of the cookware.

[0188] In another optional embodiment, the method may further include:

[0189] determining, according to the heating requirement corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction and the cookware parameters of the target cookware of the cooking device, a cookware motion parameter that matches the target cookware when heated, wherein the cookware motion parameter may include a sub-motion parameter corresponding to at least one motion degree of freedom of the target cookware, and the motion degree of freedom may include a flipping degree of freedom of the target cookware and / or a rotational degree of freedom of the target cookware;

[0190] Optionally, controlling a pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive the target pot to perform pot movement so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the target pot is evenly heated may include:

[0191] Based on the pot movement parameters, the pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the target pot to perform pot movement, so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the surface to be maintained of the target pot is evenly heated.

[0192] Optionally, the sub-motion parameters corresponding to the flip degree of freedom may include one or more of a flip amplitude, a flip direction, and a flip speed, and the sub-motion parameters corresponding to the rotation degree of freedom may include one or more of a rotation direction, a rotation amplitude, and a rotation speed.

[0193] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional implementation method can determine the cookware motion parameters such as the flipping amplitude and rotation speed that match the cookware in combination with the heating requirements of the cookware, the cookware parameters, etc., which is conducive to further improving the uniformity of the cookware when heated and the uniformity of the distribution of the cookware treatment liquid on the surface to be maintained, and thus is conducive to meeting the maintenance requirements of various parts of the cookware.

[0194] In yet another optional embodiment, the method may further include:

[0195] Based on the regional parameters of one or more areas to be maintained on the surface to be maintained of the target cookware, a liquid processing trajectory corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction is generated. The regional parameters may include the regional heating temperature and / or regional position of the corresponding area to be maintained, and the liquid processing trajectory may include a liquid input trajectory and / or a liquid stirring trajectory.

[0196] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the liquid input trajectory and / or the liquid stirring trajectory can be a trajectory for inputting liquid and / or stirring liquid in the area to be maintained from the inside to the outside according to the corresponding area position, such as a trajectory for drawing circles from the inside to the outside in the target cookware, or it can be a trajectory for inputting liquid and / or stirring liquid in the area to be maintained from high to low according to the heating temperature of the corresponding area, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0197] Optionally, based on a predetermined target input amount of the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction, controlling a liquid input structure corresponding to the cooking device to input the pot treatment liquid into the target pot may include:

[0198] Based on the predetermined target input liquid volume and liquid input trajectory of the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction, the liquid input structure corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to input the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot.

[0199] Optionally, controlling a stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive a stirring structure of the cooking device to stir the pot treatment liquid so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot may include:

[0200] Based on the determined liquid stirring parameters, the stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking equipment is controlled to drive the stirring structure of the cooking equipment to stir the pot treatment liquid so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot. The liquid stirring parameters may include a liquid stirring trajectory.

[0201] Optionally, the liquid stirring parameters may further include liquid stirring force. Preferably, the greater the density of the cookware treatment liquid, the greater the liquid stirring force, and the greater the amount of the cookware treatment liquid input, the greater the liquid stirring force.

[0202] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can determine the liquid input trajectory and the liquid stirring trajectory according to the regional heating temperatures and regional positions of multiple areas to be maintained on the surface of the cookware to be maintained, and input the cookware treatment liquid according to the liquid input trajectory, and stir the cookware treatment liquid according to the liquid stirring trajectory, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy and reliability of the input and stirring of the cookware treatment liquid, not only can the maintenance effect of the cookware treatment liquid on the cookware be maximized, but also can reduce the damage to the non-maintenance area caused by the contact of the cookware maintenance equipment with the non-maintenance area, and reduce the occurrence of the cookware treatment liquid overflowing from the cookware.

[0203] Embodiment 2

[0204] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of another intelligent cookware maintenance method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The described intelligent cookware maintenance method can be directly applied to a cooking device, such as a controller of the cooking device, or can be applied to a terminal device or a cloud server that controls the cookware maintenance process of the cooking device, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent maintenance method of the cookware may include the following operations:

[0205] 201. When a pot maintenance instruction for a cooking device is detected, a heating structure corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to heat a target pot of the cooking device.

[0206] 202. Add the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot.

[0207] 203. Control the driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive its corresponding driving object to perform corresponding movement, so as to maintain the surface to be maintained of the target cookware.

[0208] In the embodiment of the present invention, for other descriptions of step 201 to step 203, please refer to the detailed description of step 101 to step 103 in the first embodiment, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated here.

[0209] 204. According to the instruction type of the cookware maintenance instruction, determine whether the target cookware has a liquid discharge demand for the cookware treatment liquid. When the determination result of step 204 is yes, step 205 is triggered.

[0210] As an optional implementation manner, judging whether the target pot has a liquid discharge requirement for the pot treatment liquid according to the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction may include:

[0211] According to the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction, determining whether the pot maintenance process corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction is part of the dish cooking process or whether the dish cooking process is followed by the pot maintenance process;

[0212] When it is determined that the pot maintenance process is not part of the dish cooking process or the pot maintenance process is not followed by the dish cooking process, determining that the target pot has a need to discharge the pot treatment liquid;

[0213] When it is determined that the pot maintenance process is part of the dish cooking process or the dish cooking process is followed by the pot maintenance process, determining whether the cooking process after the pot maintenance process requires pot treatment liquid;

[0214] When it is determined that the cooking process requires the pot treatment liquid, determining the required amount of the pot treatment liquid for the cooking process;

[0215] Determining whether the required amount is less than the remaining amount of the cookware treatment liquid in the target cookware;

[0216] When it is determined that the required amount is less than the remaining amount of liquid, it is determined that there is a need to discharge the liquid of the pot treatment liquid from the target pot;

[0217] When it is determined that the required amount is not less than the remaining liquid amount, it is determined that there is no liquid discharge demand for the cookware treatment liquid from the target cookware.

[0218] Taking the pot maintenance instruction as an example, when the pot treatment liquid is oil, when the pot maintenance instruction is the above-mentioned independent pot maintenance instruction, all the hot oil after the pot maintenance treatment needs to be discharged; when the pot maintenance instruction is the above-mentioned cooking pot maintenance instruction and it is a pot lubricating instruction, part of the hot oil after the pot maintenance treatment needs to be discharged, and then the remaining hot oil is used for cooking; when the pot maintenance instruction is the above-mentioned cooking pot maintenance instruction and it is a hot pot and cold oil instruction, the hot oil after the pot maintenance treatment can be discharged, and then cold oil can be added for cooking, or the hot oil after the pot maintenance treatment can be not discharged, and cold oil can be directly added for cooking.

[0219] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional implementation method can determine whether the cooker treatment liquid needs to be discharged according to the instruction type of the cooker maintenance instruction, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of determining whether the cooker treatment liquid needs to be discharged, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the cooker treatment liquid in cooking dishes and reducing the waste of the cooker treatment liquid.

[0220] 205. Based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, control the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot, so as to discharge the pot treatment liquid outside the cooking device or into a recovery container.

[0221] As an optional implementation, based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, controlling the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot may include:

[0222] Based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, controlling the liquid output structure corresponding to the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot; or

[0223] Based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, the pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the target pot to tilt or flip, so that the target pot pours out the pot treatment liquid in the target pot.

[0224] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can output the pot treatment liquid through the liquid output structure, and can also pour out the pot treatment liquid by controlling the tilting or flipping of the pot, thereby increasing the diversity of the pot treatment liquid output methods and being conducive to meeting the pot treatment liquid output requirements of different types of cooking equipment.

[0225] It can be seen that when the embodiment of the present invention needs to maintain the cookware of the cooking equipment, the heating structure is controlled to heat it, and the corresponding cookware treatment liquid is input, and then the corresponding driving component is controlled to drive the corresponding driving object to move, thereby automatically realizing the intelligent local maintenance of the cookware of the cooking equipment. There is no need for the user to disassemble the cookware and manually perform cookware maintenance, which improves the efficiency and effect of cookware maintenance of the cooking equipment and reduces the damage to the cooking equipment caused by the user's poor ability to disassemble and assemble the cooking equipment and the proficiency in cookware maintenance. In addition, after the cookware maintenance is completed, the cookware treatment liquid is automatically discharged, which reduces the impact of the cookware treatment liquid on the subsequent cooking process and reduces the waste of the cookware treatment liquid.

[0226] In an optional embodiment, based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, before controlling the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot into the recovery container, the method may further include:

[0227] Determining whether the recovery container is placed at a preset position, where the preset position is a position where the pot treatment liquid discharged from the cooking device can be received;

[0228] When the judgment result is no, placing the recycling container at a preset position;

[0229] Placing the recycling container at a preset location may include:

[0230] Controlling the container driving component corresponding to the recycling container to drive the recycling container to move to a preset position; or,

[0231] A container placement reminder is issued to the user to prompt the user to place the recycling container at a preset location.

[0232] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can also move the recovery container to a position where the cookware treatment liquid can be received before the cookware treatment liquid is discharged, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the cookware treatment liquid recovery.

[0233] In another optional embodiment, when the pot maintenance process is part of a dish cooking process or the pot maintenance process is followed by the dish cooking process, after determining that there is no liquid discharge demand for the pot treatment liquid from the target pot, or after controlling the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid from the target pot based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, the method further includes:

[0234] Add the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot;

[0235] Control the heating structure to heat the target cookware so that the temperature of the cooking oil satisfies the cooking temperature conditions corresponding to the dish cooking process, wherein the cooking temperature conditions may include the temperature of the cooking oil being within the adaptation temperature range corresponding to the dish cooking process, the highest temperature value of the adaptation temperature range is less than or equal to the cookware treatment temperature of the cookware maintenance process, and the cookware treatment temperature may include the temperature of the target cookware in the cookware maintenance process or the temperature of the cookware treatment liquid.

[0236] In this optional embodiment, optionally, adding the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot may include:

[0237] Based on the predetermined target input oil amount corresponding to the dish cooking process, the liquid input structure is controlled to input the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot; or,

[0238] A cooking oil adding reminder is sent to the user to prompt the user to add the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot.

[0239] In this optional embodiment, optionally, before adding the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot, the method may further include:

[0240] Determine whether the pot maintenance instruction is a hot pot and cool oil instruction. When it is determined that the pot maintenance instruction is a hot pot and cool oil instruction, trigger the above-mentioned operation of adding cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot.

[0241] It can be seen that the implementation of this optional embodiment can also add cooking oil for heating after the pot maintenance process is completed when the pot maintenance process is part of the dish cooking process, and make the temperature of the cooking oil lower than the temperature of the pot and the temperature of the pot treatment liquid in the pot maintenance process, thereby reducing the phenomenon of dishes sticking to the pot due to the excessive temperature of the pot or the pot treatment liquid. After the pot maintenance process is completed, the pot treatment liquid can be discharged in time, and cooking oil can be quickly added for heating to start the subsequent cooking process, so that high-frequency local pot maintenance, especially local pot maintenance for one dish, can be achieved.

[0242] Embodiment 3

[0243] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent cookware maintenance device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The described intelligent cookware maintenance device can be directly applied to a cooking device, such as a controller of the cooking device, or can be applied to a terminal device or a cloud server that controls the cookware maintenance process of the cooking device, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent maintenance device of the cooker may include:

[0244] The heating control module 301 is used to control the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device to heat the target pot of the cooking device when a pot maintenance instruction for the cooking device is detected;

[0245] A liquid inlet control module 302, used to add the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot;

[0246] The drive control module 303 is used to control the drive component corresponding to the cooking device to drive its corresponding drive object to perform corresponding movements, so as to maintain the surface to be maintained of the target cookware.

[0247] It can be seen that implementation Figure 3 The described device can control the heating structure to heat the cooker of the cooking device when it is necessary to maintain the cooker, input the corresponding cooker treatment liquid, and then control the corresponding driving component to drive the corresponding driving object to move, thereby automatically realizing the intelligent maintenance of the cooker of the cooking device. There is no need for the user to disassemble the cooker and manually perform the cooker maintenance treatment, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of the cooker maintenance of the cooking device and reducing the damage to the cooking device caused by the user's poor ability to disassemble and assemble the cooking device and the proficiency in cooker maintenance.

[0248] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the specific manner in which the liquid inlet control module 302 adds the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot may include:

[0249] Based on the predetermined target input amount of the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction, controlling the liquid input structure corresponding to the cooking device to input the pot treatment liquid into the target pot; or,

[0250] Sending a pot treatment liquid adding reminder to the user, so as to prompt the user to add the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot;

[0251] Furthermore, the drive control module 303 controls the drive component corresponding to the cooking device to drive its corresponding drive object to perform corresponding movements, so as to maintain the surface to be maintained of the target cookware. The specific manner may include:

[0252] Controlling a stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive a stirring structure of the cooking device to stir the pot treatment liquid so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot, the driving component corresponding to the cooking device may include a stirring driving component, and the driving object corresponding to the stirring driving component may include a stirring structure; and / or,

[0253] The pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the target pot to perform pot movement so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the surface to be maintained of the target pot is evenly heated. The driving component corresponding to the cooking device may include a pot driving component, and the driving object corresponding to the pot driving component may include the target pot.

[0254] It can be seen that implementation Figure 3 The described device can not only allow the user to manually add cookware treatment liquid, but also automatically add cookware treatment liquid, thereby improving the convenience of adding the cookware treatment liquid, and can enable the stirring structure to stir the cookware treatment liquid so that the cookware treatment liquid is evenly applied to the surface to be maintained, and can also enable the cookware to perform movements such as rotating and flipping, which is not only conducive to the uniform distribution of the cookware treatment liquid on the surface to be maintained, but also conducive to uniform heating of the cookware, thereby improving the effect of cookware maintenance.

[0255] In another optional embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the drive control module 303 is also used to control the stirring drive component corresponding to the cooking device to drive the stirring structure of the cooking device to perform heat-avoiding movement during or before the heating control module 301 controls the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device to heat the target pot of the cooking device;

[0256] The specific manner in which the driving control module 303 controls the stirring component corresponding to the cooking device to drive the stirring structure of the cooking device to perform heat-avoiding movement may include:

[0257] Controlling a stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device to drive a stirring structure of the cooking device to move away from the pot, so that the distance between the stirring structure and the surface to be maintained of a target pot of the cooking device is greater than or equal to a predetermined target distance threshold; or

[0258] Based on a predetermined heat avoidance trajectory matching the stirring structure of the cooking device, the stirring driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the stirring structure to move so that the stirring structure deviates from the high-heat area of ​​the target pot of the cooking device for part or all of the time.

[0259] It can be seen that implementation Figure 3 The described device can also keep the stirring structure away from the heated area when the heating structure heats the pot, thereby reducing damage to the stirring structure caused by the high heating temperature of the pot.

[0260] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0261] The first determining module 304 is used to determine a target distance threshold between the stirring structure of the cooking device and the target cookware according to the heating demand corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction and the cookware parameters of the target cookware of the cooking device, where the target distance threshold is used to represent the shortest safe distance between the stirring structure and the target cookware when the target cookware is heated based on the heating temperature; or, to determine a change trend of a heated area of ​​the target cookware when it is heated according to the cookware parameters of the target cookware of the cooking device and the cookware motion parameters that match the target cookware when it is heated; to determine a heat avoidance trajectory that matches the stirring structure of the cooking device when the target cookware is heated based on the heating temperature according to the change trend of the heated area and the heating demand corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction; the cookware parameters may include one or more of the cookware type of the target cookware, the cookware specification of the target cookware, the cookware shape of the target cookware, the cookware material of the target cookware, the location of the surface to be maintained of the target cookware, and the heating area of ​​the heating structure.

[0262] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can determine the shortest safe distance that the stirring structure needs to be away from the cookware according to the required heating temperature of the cookware and the cookware parameters, or determine the heat avoidance trajectory of the stirring structure according to the change trend of the heated area of ​​the cookware, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the cookware heat avoidance and further reducing the damage to the stirring structure caused by the high heating temperature of the cookware.

[0263] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the device may also include:

[0264] A second determining module 305 is used to determine a pot motion parameter that matches the target pot when heated according to the heating demand corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction and the pot parameter of the target pot of the cooking device, where the pot motion parameter may include a sub-motion parameter corresponding to at least one motion degree of freedom of the target pot, and the motion degree of freedom may include a flipping degree of freedom of the target pot and / or a rotational degree of freedom of the target pot;

[0265] The specific manner in which the drive control module 303 controls the pot drive component corresponding to the cooking device to drive the target pot to perform pot movement so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the target pot is evenly heated may include:

[0266] Based on the pot movement parameters, the pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the target pot to perform pot movement, so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the surface to be maintained of the target pot is evenly heated.

[0267] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also determine the matching pot movement parameters such as the flipping amplitude and rotation speed of the pot in combination with the heating requirements of the pot, the pot parameters, etc., thereby helping to further improve the uniformity of the pot when heated and the uniformity of the distribution of the pot treatment liquid on the surface to be maintained, thereby helping to meet the maintenance requirements of various parts of the pot.

[0268] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0269] A determination module 306 is used to determine whether the target pot has a need to discharge the pot treatment liquid according to the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction;

[0270] a liquid discharge control module 307, configured to control the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, when the judgment module 306 judges that the target pot has a liquid discharge demand, so as to discharge the pot treatment liquid outside the cooking device or into a recovery container;

[0271] The specific manner in which the liquid discharge control module 307 controls the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot into the recovery container based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand may include:

[0272] Based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, controlling the liquid output structure corresponding to the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot; or

[0273] Based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, the pot driving component corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to drive the target pot to tilt or flip, so that the target pot pours out the pot treatment liquid in the target pot.

[0274] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also automatically discharge the cooker treatment liquid after completing the cooker maintenance, thereby reducing the impact of the cooker treatment liquid on the subsequent cooking process and reducing the waste of the cooker treatment liquid. In addition, the cooker treatment liquid can be output through the liquid output structure or poured out by controlling the cooker to tilt or flip, thereby increasing the diversity of the cooker treatment liquid output methods and facilitating meeting the cooker treatment liquid output requirements of different types of cooking equipment.

[0275] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the judgment module 306 is further used to judge whether the recovery container is placed at a preset position before the liquid discharge control module 307 controls the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot into the recovery container based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, and the preset position is a position where the pot treatment liquid discharged by the cooking device can be received;

[0276] The container placement module 308 is used to place the recycling container at the preset position when the determination module 306 determines that the recycling container is not placed at the preset position;

[0277] The specific method in which the container placement module 308 places the recycling container at the preset position may include:

[0278] Controlling the container driving component corresponding to the recycling container to drive the recycling container to move to a preset position; or,

[0279] A container placement reminder is issued to the user to prompt the user to place the recycling container at a preset location.

[0280] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also move the recovery container to a position where the cooker treatment liquid can be received before the cooker treatment liquid is discharged, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the cooker treatment liquid recovery.

[0281] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the specific method of determining whether the target pot has a liquid discharge requirement for the pot treatment liquid according to the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction by the determination module 306 may include:

[0282] According to the instruction type of the pot maintenance instruction, determining whether the pot maintenance process corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction is part of the dish cooking process or whether the dish cooking process is followed by the pot maintenance process;

[0283] When it is determined that the pot maintenance process is not part of the dish cooking process or the pot maintenance process is not followed by the dish cooking process, determining that the target pot has a need to discharge the pot treatment liquid;

[0284] When it is determined that the pot maintenance process is part of the dish cooking process or the dish cooking process is followed by the pot maintenance process, determining whether the cooking process after the pot maintenance process requires pot treatment liquid;

[0285] When it is determined that the cooking process requires the pot treatment liquid, determining the required amount of the pot treatment liquid for the cooking process;

[0286] Determining whether the required amount is less than the remaining amount of the cookware treatment liquid in the target cookware;

[0287] When it is determined that the required amount is less than the remaining amount of liquid, it is determined that there is a need to discharge the liquid of the pot treatment liquid from the target pot;

[0288] When it is determined that the required amount is not less than the remaining liquid amount, it is determined that there is no liquid discharge demand for the cookware treatment liquid from the target cookware.

[0289] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also determine whether the cooker treatment liquid needs to be discharged according to the instruction type of the cooker maintenance instruction, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of determining whether the cooker treatment liquid needs to be discharged, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the cooker treatment liquid in cooking dishes and reducing the waste of the cooker treatment liquid.

[0290] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the liquid inlet control module 302 is further used for, when the pot maintenance process is part of the dish cooking process or the pot maintenance process is followed by the dish cooking process, after the judgment module 306 determines that there is no liquid discharge demand for the pot treatment liquid from the target pot, or after the liquid discharge control module 307 controls the cooking device to discharge the pot treatment liquid in the target pot based on the amount of liquid to be discharged corresponding to the liquid discharge demand, to add cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot;

[0291] The heating control module 301 is further used to control the heating structure to heat the target cookware so that the temperature of the cooking oil satisfies the cooking temperature condition corresponding to the dish cooking process, wherein the cooking temperature condition may include that the temperature of the cooking oil is within the adaptation temperature range corresponding to the dish cooking process, the highest temperature value of the adaptation temperature range is less than or equal to the cookware treatment temperature of the cookware maintenance process, and the cookware treatment temperature may include the temperature of the target cookware in the cookware maintenance process or the temperature of the cookware treatment liquid;

[0292] Optionally, the specific manner in which the liquid inlet control module 302 adds the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot may include:

[0293] Based on the predetermined target input oil amount corresponding to the dish cooking process, the liquid input structure is controlled to input the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot; or,

[0294] A cooking oil adding reminder is sent to the user to prompt the user to add the cooking oil corresponding to the dish cooking process into the target pot.

[0295] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can add cooking oil for heating after the pot maintenance process is completed when the pot maintenance process is part of the dish cooking process, and make the temperature of the cooking oil lower than the temperature of the pot and the temperature of the pot treatment liquid during the pot maintenance process, thereby reducing the phenomenon of dishes sticking to the pot due to the excessive temperature of the pot or the pot treatment liquid. After the pot maintenance process is completed, the pot treatment liquid can be discharged in time, and cooking oil can be quickly added for heating to start the subsequent cooking process, so that high-frequency local pot maintenance, especially local pot maintenance for one dish, can be achieved.

[0296] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device may also include:

[0297] The instruction generation module 309 is used to generate a pot maintenance instruction for the cooking device according to the pot maintenance request when receiving a pot maintenance request triggered by the user for the cooking device; or to determine whether the target pot has a maintenance requirement according to the real-time pot status of the target pot of the cooking device, and when it is determined that the target pot has a maintenance requirement, generate a pot maintenance instruction for the cooking device according to the real-time pot status;

[0298] A third determining module 310 is used to determine a cookware maintenance parameter that matches the cookware maintenance instruction according to the instruction type of the cookware maintenance instruction, where the cookware maintenance parameter may include a target heating parameter corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction and / or a target input liquid volume of the cookware treatment liquid corresponding to the cookware maintenance instruction;

[0299] Optionally, the specific manner in which the driving control module 303 controls the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device to heat the target pot of the cooking device may include:

[0300] Based on the target heating parameters, the heating structure corresponding to the cooking device is controlled to heat the target pot of the cooking device. The target heating parameters may include pot heating parameters and / or treatment liquid heating parameters. The pot heating parameters may include a heating temperature threshold for the target pot and / or a heating time threshold for the target pot. The treatment liquid heating parameters may include a heating temperature threshold for the pot treatment liquid and / or a heating time threshold for the pot treatment liquid.

[0301] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described device can also generate a pot maintenance instruction according to a pot maintenance request triggered by a user, and automatically generate a pot maintenance instruction when the real-time pot status of the pot indicates that maintenance is required, thereby improving the intelligence level of pot maintenance, facilitating timely maintenance of the pot, and extending the service life of the pot.

[0302] Embodiment 4

[0303] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of a cooking device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the cooking device may include a heating structure 401, a liquid input structure 402 and a stirring structure 403, wherein:

[0304] The heating structure 401 is used to heat the target pot of the cooking device when a pot maintenance instruction for the cooking device is detected;

[0305] The liquid input structure 402 is used to input the pot treatment liquid corresponding to the pot maintenance instruction into the target pot;

[0306] A stirring driving component 403 is used to drive a stirring structure of the cooking device to stir the pot treatment liquid so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot;

[0307] The pot driving component 404 is used to drive the target pot to perform pot movement so that the pot treatment liquid contacts the surface to be maintained of the target pot and / or the surface to be maintained of the target pot is evenly heated.

[0308] It can be seen that implementation Figure 5 When the described cooking device needs to maintain the cooker of the cooking device, the heating structure heats the cooker and inputs corresponding cooker treatment liquid, which is then stirred by the stirring structure or the cooker performs a rolling motion, thereby automatically realizing intelligent maintenance of the cooker of the cooking device. There is no need for the user to disassemble the cooker and manually perform cooker maintenance, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of cooker maintenance of the cooking device and reducing damage to the cooking device caused by the user's poor ability to disassemble and assemble the cooking device and proficiency in cooker maintenance.

[0309] Optionally, the stirring driving component 403 is also used to drive the stirring structure to perform heat-avoiding movement before the heating structure 401 heats the target pot of the cooking device. It can be seen that this can make the stirring structure away from the heated area of ​​the pot before the heating structure heats the pot, thereby reducing the damage to the stirring structure caused by the high temperature of the pot.

[0310] Optionally, the pot driving component 404 is also used to drive the target pot to tilt or flip when there is a need for the target pot to discharge the pot treatment liquid, so that the target pot can pour out the pot treatment liquid in the target pot. It can be seen that in this way, the pot can be controlled to tilt or flip to pour out the pot treatment liquid, thereby meeting the need for the pot to discharge the pot treatment liquid when the pot is not connected to the liquid output structure.

[0311] Optionally, the cooking device may further include a liquid output structure 405, wherein: the liquid output structure 405 is used to output the pot treatment liquid in the target pot when the target pot has a liquid discharge demand for the pot treatment liquid. It can be seen that the pot treatment liquid can be output through the liquid output structure, which can improve the safety of the pot treatment liquid output.

[0312] Optionally, the cooking device may further include a controller 406, which is electrically connected or communicatively connected to one or more of the heating structure 401, the liquid input structure 402, the stirring drive component 403, the pot drive component 404, and the liquid output structure 405, wherein the controller 406 is used to execute the steps of the smart pot maintenance method described in the first embodiment of the present invention or the second embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that this can realize the automatic control of each structure of the cooking device.
