[0002] During the beverage brewing process, temperature control is one of the key factors in beverage brewing. Different beverages have very different requirements for water temperature. For example, green tea is suitable to be brewed between 70°C and 80°C, while the brewing of black coffee requires a water temperature close to 100°C. Existing beverage brewing devices can achieve water temperature control through the cooperation of a temperature sensor and a heating element. However, when existing beverage brewing devices implement beverage brewing, from the start of beverage brewing to obtaining the finished beverage, there is often a large heat exchange between the beverage brewing device and the brewing water, resulting in a lag in the control of the beverage temperature and making it difficult to meet the requirements for the taste and temperature of the finished beverage.

[0029] When the existing beverage brewing device realizes beverage brewing, from the start of beverage brewing to the production of the finished beverage, there is often a large heat exchange between the beverage brewing device and the brewing water, resulting in a lag in the control of the beverage temperature, and it is difficult to meet the requirements for the taste and temperature of the finished beverage.

[0030] For the above reasons, the embodiments of the present application provide a beverage brewing control method, which includes: in response to a brewing instruction, determining the flushing parameters and brewing procedure corresponding to the brewing instruction; controlling a water supply component to flush a brewing chamber of a brewing component according to the flushing parameters, and obtaining the maximum temperature of the brewing chamber within a first time period starting from the flushing moment as the first temperature, and when the first temperature is greater than or equal to a preset chamber temperature, controlling the brewing component to perform beverage brewing according to the brewing procedure. The beverage brewing control method in the embodiments of the present application can avoid heat exchange between the beverage brewing device and the brewing water, and can ensure the taste and temperature of the finished beverage.

[0031] In some scenarios, a beverage brewing control method of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to beverage brewing control, which can avoid heat exchange between the beverage brewing device and the brewing water, and can improve the taste and brewing quality of the beverage.

[0032] [[ID= sixteen]]The following specifically describes a beverage brewing control method provided by the embodiments of the present application with specific examples.

[0033] Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a beverage brewing control method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, this method includes S110 to S120, and the following specifically describes S110 to S120.

[0034] S110. In response to a brewing instruction, determine the flushing parameters and brewing program corresponding to the brewing instruction.

[0035] When brewing a beverage, in response to a brewing instruction, the flushing parameters and brewing program corresponding to the brewing instruction can be determined. The flushing parameters are used to control the process of flushing and preheating the brewing component, and the brewing program is used to control the beverage brewing process.

[0036] Figure 2 The following is a schematic structural diagram of a beverage brewing device to which the beverage brewing control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied. As Figure 2 shown, the beverage brewing device includes a brewing component 1. A brewing chamber 11 is provided on the brewing component 1. The brewing chamber 11 is a sealed chamber for brewing beverages.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, a plurality of water supply components 12 are connected to the brewing chamber 11. The plurality of water supply components 12 are used to supply water to the brewing chamber 11 of the brewing component 1. The plurality of water supply components 12 are connected to the brewing chamber 11 through solenoid valves.

[0038] When brewing a beverage, the plurality of water supply components 12 can supply brewing water at different temperatures respectively.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, a liquid injection port 13 is further connected to the brewing chamber 11. The liquid injection port 13 is used to input the stock solution for brewing the beverage into the brewing chamber 11. Thus, the stock solution can be input into the brewing chamber 11 through the liquid injection port 13 to achieve beverage brewing. The liquid injection port 13 can be connected to the brewing chamber 11 through a solenoid valve.

[0040] Exemplarily, the liquid injection port 13 can also be an inlet for introducing brewing raw materials such as coffee powder for brewing into the brewing chamber 11.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, a liquid discharge port 14 and a waste liquid port 15 are further connected to the brewing chamber 11. Through the liquid discharge port 14, the brewed beverage can be discharged. Through the waste liquid port 15, the waste liquid for flushing the brewing chamber 11 can be discharged. The liquid discharge port 14 and the waste liquid port 15 can be connected to an external pipeline through solenoid valves.

[0042] S120. According to the flushing parameters, control the water supply component to flush the brewing chamber of the brewing component, and obtain the maximum temperature of the brewing chamber within the first time period starting from the flushing moment as the first temperature. When the first temperature is greater than or equal to the preset chamber temperature, control the brewing component to brew the beverage according to the brewing program.

[0043] When making a beverage, this method can control the water supply component 12 to flush the brewing chamber 11 of the brewing component 1 according to the flushing parameters, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the brewed beverage. At the same time, by flushing the brewing chamber 11, the temperature of the brewing chamber 11 can be increased, so as to ensure the temperature and taste of the brewed beverage.

[0044] Exemplarily, the flushing parameters can be preset, and the flushing parameters can be set corresponding to the brewing program. Different brewing programs can correspond to different water supply components to brew the brewing chamber, so as to improve the temperature control effect of the brewed beverage.

[0045] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the control structure applied to a beverage brewing control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the water supply component 12 can be controlled by the control component 2.

[0046] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a beverage brewing device applied to a beverage brewing control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the solenoid valve of the water supply component 12 in this beverage brewing device can be electrically connected to the control component 2 through an electrical connection terminal.

[0047] When flushing the brewing chamber 11, the maximum temperature of the brewing chamber 11 within the first time period starting from the flushing moment by the water supply component 12 can be obtained as the first temperature. The first temperature represents the maximum temperature of the brewing chamber 11 within the first time period starting from the flushing moment. Furthermore, it is possible to judge whether the temperature in the brewing chamber 11 meets the requirements according to the first temperature, and it can be avoided that the temperature in the brewing chamber 11 is too low and affects the temperature and taste of the brewed beverage.

[0048] Exemplarily, the first time period can be 30s, 45s or 60s.

[0049] Exemplarily, when obtaining the temperature in the brewing chamber 11 when the water supply component 12 flushes the brewing chamber 11, the temperature of the brewing chamber 11 can be obtained through the temperature sensor 111 in the side wall of the brewing chamber 11.

[0050] When flushing the brewing chamber 11, when the first temperature is greater than or equal to the preset chamber temperature, it means that the temperature in the brewing chamber 11 has reached the preset temperature requirement. Furthermore, the brewing component 1 can be controlled to brew the beverage according to the brewing program.

[0051] Exemplarily, the preset chamber temperature can be 80°C, 85°C or 90°C.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the above implementation method are that this beverage brewing control method can avoid heat exchange between the beverage brewing device and the brewing water, and can ensure the taste and temperature of the finished beverage.

[0053] Another beneficial effect of the above implementation method is that the flushing parameters can be set corresponding to the brewing program, and different brewing programs can correspond to different water supply components to flush the brewing chamber, which can improve the temperature control effect of beverage brewing.

[0054] In some implementation methods, the above method further includes S210 to S220, and the following is a specific description of S210 to S220.

[0055] S210: When the first temperature is lower than the preset chamber temperature, control the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to assist in heating the flushing water, and obtain the maximum temperature of the brewing chamber during the second period when the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber starts to assist in heating the flushing water as the second temperature.

[0056] When flushing the brewing chamber 11, when the first temperature is lower than the preset chamber temperature, it means that when the temperature in the brewing chamber 11 is increased during the first period, the heating effect on the brewing chamber 11 is not optimal. Therefore, the auxiliary heating component 16 in the brewing chamber can be controlled to assist in heating the flushing water. When heating the flushing water, the heat can be transferred to the side wall of the brewing chamber 11, improving the temperature increase effect of the brewing chamber, so as to improve the effect of beverage brewing through the brewing chamber 11.

[0057] During beverage brewing, multiple water supply components 12 can supply brewing water at different temperatures respectively.

[0058] As Figure 3 shown, the control component 2 can be electrically connected to the auxiliary heating component 16 to realize the control process of the control component 2 on the auxiliary heating component 16.

[0059] When the auxiliary heating component 16 assists in heating the flushing water, the maximum temperature of the brewing chamber during the second period when the auxiliary heating component 16 in the brewing chamber starts to assist in heating the flushing water can be obtained as the second temperature. The second temperature is the highest temperature after the auxiliary heating component 16 assists in heating the flushing water. Therefore, the temperature effect of heating the brewing chamber can be judged through the second temperature.

[0060] S220: When the second temperature is greater than or equal to the preset chamber temperature, control the brewing component to drain the flushing water and control the brewing chamber to brew the beverage according to the brewing program. When the second temperature is lower than the preset chamber temperature, control the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to continue to assist in heating the flushing water.

[0061] After heating the brewing chamber, when the second temperature is greater than or equal to the preset chamber temperature, it indicates that the heating effect in the brewing chamber 11 is better. Then, the brewing component can be controlled to drain the flushing water and the brewing chamber can be controlled according to the brewing program to brew the beverage, so as to continue to complete the beverage brewing process.

[0062] After heating the brewing chamber, when the second temperature is less than the preset chamber temperature, it indicates that the heating effect in the brewing chamber 11 is not good. Then, the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber can be controlled to continue to assist in heating the flushing water, so as to ensure the temperature increase effect of the brewing chamber 11.

[0063] The beneficial effect of the above implementation method is that by detecting the heating effect in the brewing chamber, the brewing component can be controlled to drain the flushing water and the brewing chamber can be controlled according to the brewing program to brew the beverage, so as to continue to complete the beverage brewing process, or the brewing chamber can be continuously heated by the auxiliary heating component to improve the heating effect of the brewing chamber.

[0064] The beneficial effect of the above implementation method is also that controlling the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to assist in heating the flushing water can avoid directly heating the brewing chamber by the auxiliary heating component, avoid damage to the brewing chamber caused by the heating of the auxiliary heating component, and improve the safety of the brewing chamber.

[0065] In some implementation methods, the above method further includes: obtaining the total auxiliary heating duration of the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to assist in heating the flushing water. When the total auxiliary heating duration is greater than the preset total auxiliary heating duration, the main heating component is started to heat the brewing water in the water supply component until the brewing water in the water supply component reaches the preset chamber temperature.

[0066] When cleaning the brewing chamber, the total auxiliary heating duration of the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to assist in heating the flushing water can be obtained. The total auxiliary heating duration represents the total heating duration of the brewing chamber, so as to judge the temperature of the flushing water according to the total heating duration of the brewing chamber, and then judge whether it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the brewing water in the water supply component according to the total heating duration of the brewing chamber.

[0067] As Figure 3 shown, the control component 2 can be electrically connected to the main heating component 121 to realize the control of the control component 2 over the main heating component 121.

[0068] When cleaning the brewing chamber, when the total auxiliary heating duration is greater than the preset total auxiliary heating duration, it indicates that the temperature of the brewing water in the water supply component is relatively low. Thus, the main heating component can be activated to heat the brewing water in the water supply component until the brewing water in the water supply component reaches the preset chamber temperature, achieving the accuracy of the temperature of the brewing water provided by the water supply component and improving the brewing effect.

[0069] The beneficial effect of the above implementation method is to obtain the total auxiliary heating duration of the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber for auxiliary heating of the flushing water. The total auxiliary heating duration represents the total duration of heating the brewing chamber, so as to judge the temperature of the flushing water according to the total duration of heating the brewing chamber, achieving the accuracy of the temperature of the brewing water provided by the water supply component and improving the brewing quality and the effect of the brewed beverage.

[0070] In some implementation methods, the above method further includes: obtaining the brewing demand probability corresponding to the current time value, and when the brewing demand probability is greater than the preset brewing demand probability, controlling the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to keep the brewing chamber warm.

[0071] When brewing a beverage, the brewing demand probability corresponding to the current time value can also be obtained. When the brewing demand probability is greater than the preset brewing demand probability, it indicates that the probability of the brewing demand is relatively large. Thus, the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber can be controlled to keep the brewing chamber warm, so as to ensure that the temperature of the brewing chamber is within the suitable temperature range for brewing, and improve the brewing effect when brewing the beverage subsequently.

[0072] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 shown, when obtaining the brewing demand probability corresponding to the current time value through the brewing demand control component 21, the brewing demand probability corresponding to the current time value can be predicted through a time series model based on LSTM.

[0073] The beneficial effect of the above implementation method is that when the brewing demand probability is greater than the preset brewing demand probability, controlling the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to keep the brewing chamber warm can improve the brewing effect when brewing the beverage subsequently.

[0074] In some implementation methods, the above method further includes S310 to S320, which will be specifically described below.

[0075] S310. Obtain the temperatures of the brewing water in multiple water supply components, obtain multiple target water supply components with the brewing demand probability greater than the preset brewing demand probability, and obtain the target temperature of the brewing water in each target water supply component during beverage brewing.

[0076] When managing beverage brewing, the brewing water temperatures in multiple water supply components can be obtained. The brewing water temperatures in the multiple water supply components correspond to beverages with different temperature requirements for brewing. At the same time, multiple target water supply components with a brewing demand probability greater than a preset brewing demand probability can be obtained, and the probability of using the brewing water in the target water supply components for brewing is relatively high.

[0077] After determining the multiple target water supply components, the target temperature of the brewing water in each target water supply component during beverage brewing is obtained. Furthermore, the temperature of the brewing water in the target water supply components can be controlled based on the brewing water temperature and the target temperature.

[0078] S320. When the number of target water supply components is greater than or equal to 1, control the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber to keep the brewing chamber warm. Determine the target temperature difference between the brewing water temperature of each target water supply component and the target temperature corresponding to the target water supply component, and control the main heating component of the target water supply component with a target temperature difference greater than the preset target temperature difference to heat the brewing water.

[0079] When managing beverage brewing, when the number of target water supply components is greater than or equal to 1, it indicates that there is a relatively high possibility of using the brewing water in at least one water supply component for beverage brewing currently. Furthermore, the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber can be controlled to keep the brewing chamber warm to ensure the brewing quality of using the brewing chamber for beverage brewing.

[0080] When managing beverage brewing, the target temperature difference between the brewing water temperature of each target water supply component and the target temperature corresponding to the target water supply component can also be determined. The target temperature difference represents the difference between the temperature of the brewing water in the water supply component and the target temperature during brewing. Furthermore, the temperature of the brewing water can be controlled by the water supply component based on the target temperature difference.

[0081] After obtaining the target temperature difference, the main heating component of the target water supply component with a target temperature difference greater than the preset target temperature difference can be controlled to heat the brewing water to ensure that the brewing water in the target water supply component is suitable for beverage brewing and can ensure the effect of beverage brewing.

[0082] The beneficial effect of the above implementation method is that the brewing water temperatures in multiple water supply components correspond to beverages with different temperature requirements for brewing. By obtaining multiple target water supply components with a brewing demand probability greater than the preset brewing demand probability, the brewing water temperatures of the water supply components with different temperature requirements can be accurately controlled.

[0083] The beneficial effect of the above implementation is also that when the possibility of using the brewing water in at least one water supply component for brewing beverages is relatively high, the auxiliary heating component in the brewing chamber can be controlled to keep the brewing chamber warm to improve the brewing effect.

[0084] The beneficial effect of the above implementation is also that controlling the main heating component of the target water supply component with a target temperature difference greater than the preset target temperature difference to heat the brewing water can further ensure the brewing effect of the beverage.

[0085] In some implementations, the above method further includes: when the brewing demand probability is greater than the first brewing demand probability and the target temperature difference is greater than the first temperature difference threshold, controlling the main heating component in the target water supply component to heat the brewing water at the first power. When the brewing demand probability is greater than the second brewing demand probability and the target temperature difference is greater than the second temperature difference threshold, controlling the main heating component in the target water supply component to heat the brewing water at the second power. Here, the second brewing demand probability is greater than the first brewing demand probability, the second temperature difference threshold is greater than the preset first temperature difference threshold, and the second power is greater than the first power.

[0086] When controlling the beverage brewing process, when the brewing demand probability is greater than the first brewing demand probability and the target temperature difference is greater than the first temperature difference threshold, the main heating component in the target water supply component can be controlled to heat the brewing water at the first power to achieve heating the brewing water in the target water supply component at the first power.

[0087] When controlling the beverage brewing process, when the brewing demand probability is greater than the second brewing demand probability and the target temperature difference is greater than the second temperature difference threshold, control the main heating component in the target water supply component to heat the brewing water at the second power to achieve heating the brewing water in the target water supply component at the second power.

[0088] In the above beverage brewing control process, the second brewing demand probability is greater than the first brewing demand probability, the second temperature difference threshold is greater than the preset first temperature difference threshold, and the second power is greater than the first power, so that when the brewing demand probability is relatively high and the target temperature difference is relatively large, the brewing water in the target water supply component can be heated at a greater power, enabling the target water supply component to complete the preparation of the brewing water at a faster speed and improving the control effect of the target water supply component.

[0089] The beneficial effect of the above implementation is that when the brewing demand probability is high and the target temperature difference is large, the brewing water in the target water supply component is heated at a greater power, enabling the target water supply component to complete the preparation of the brewing water at a faster speed, thereby improving the preparation of the brewing water through the target water supply component.

[0090] In some implementations, the above method further includes: when the brewing water in the target water supply component reaches the preset chamber temperature, determining the heating rate of the brewing water by the main heating component; when the heating rate is greater than the preset heating rate and when the brewing demand probability is greater than the second brewing demand probability, sending a prompt message for prompting to add brewing water into the target water supply component.

[0091] When controlling the beverage brewing process, when the brewing water in the target water supply component reaches the preset chamber temperature, the heating rate of the brewing water by the main heating component can be determined, and then the water volume in the target water supply component can be determined based on the heating rate, and further it can be determined whether to add brewing water to the target water supply component according to the water volume in the target water supply component.

[0092] When performing brewing control, when the heating rate is greater than the preset heating rate, it indicates that the water volume in the target water supply component is small, and when the brewing demand probability is greater than the second brewing demand probability, it indicates that the current demand for brewing by the target water supply component is large. A prompt message for prompting to add brewing water into the target water supply component can be sent to prompt to add brewing water to the target water supply component in a timely manner.

[0093] The beneficial effect of the above implementation is that when the water volume in the target water supply component is small and the current demand for brewing by the target water supply component is large, a prompt message for prompting to add brewing water into the target water supply component can prompt to add brewing water to the target water supply component in a timely manner, thereby improving the brewing effect of the target water supply component.

[0094] The beneficial effect of the above implementation is also that only when the water volume in the target water supply component is small and the current demand for brewing by the target water supply component is large, a prompt message for prompting to add brewing water into the target water supply component is sent, which can avoid long-term water storage in the target water supply component, further reduce the energy consumption of keeping the brewing water in the target water supply component warm, and improve the energy conservation and emission reduction effect of this control method; at the same time, it can avoid long-term water storage in the target water supply component and improve the cleanliness of the target water supply component.
