[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Currently, when users cook, they often prepare all the ingredients at once and let the corresponding kitchen appliances cook at the same time to avoid the trouble of users going in and out of the kitchen many times. However, due to the differences in the time it takes for different kitchen appliances to complete recipes, the completion time of dishes on different kitchen appliances also varies. For example, some dishes that are completed earlier may cool down, resulting in poor taste, which in turn reduces the user experience.

[0027] Based on this, a control method, device and control device for kitchen appliances provided in an embodiment of the present invention can effectively alleviate the above technical problems.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a control method for a kitchen appliance disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0029] In a possible implementation manner, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a kitchen appliance, which is applied to a control device.

[0030] Specifically, the control device in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a device for controlling kitchen appliances, and may be a separately set central device including a processor, a communication module, and a graphic display interface, etc. In addition, it may also be an intelligent terminal with a control application installed, such as a smartphone, tablet computer, PDA, desktop computer, etc. used by a user, which may install a corresponding application APP and also realize control of kitchen appliances.

[0031] Furthermore, the graphical user interface of the control device in the embodiment of the present invention is usually implemented by a touch panel. For example, a touch display panel is configured on the control device, which can display data such as the working status of the kitchen appliance, recipe information, user prompts, etc., and can also display the control buttons corresponding to the kitchen appliance. The touch display panel can recognize the touch of the user's finger, and the user can control the corresponding kitchen appliance by clicking the control buttons displayed on the touch display panel.

[0032] Furthermore, the kitchen appliances in the embodiments of the present invention, also referred to as kitchen appliances, include integrated stoves, all-in-one machines, steamers, ovens, all-in-one steamers and ovens, etc., and are smart kitchen appliances with various cooking functions. In addition, the kitchen appliances are generally equipped with a communication module, which can realize wireless communication with the control device.

[0033] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for controlling a kitchen appliance is shown, the method comprising the following steps:

[0034] Step S102, the response control device is wirelessly connected to the controlled kitchen appliance;

[0035] In specific implementation, the controlled kitchen appliance in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a kitchen appliance that establishes wireless communication with the control device, which may include one kitchen appliance or multiple kitchen appliances. When there are multiple kitchen appliances, linkage control of the multiple kitchen appliances can be achieved through the control device.

[0036] Step S104, obtaining configuration information of the currently controlled kitchen appliance and a pre-configured target time;

[0037] The configuration information in the embodiment of the present invention includes the cooking mode of the controlled kitchen appliance and the working time corresponding to the cooking mode;

[0038] For example, after the user starts a kitchen appliance and establishes communication with the control device, the kitchen appliance can be configured through the control device, including configuring the cooking mode of the kitchen appliance and the corresponding working hours, etc., or, the kitchen appliance can be set to an automatic cooking mode with a default working time, etc. Since the kitchen appliance communicates with the control device, the control device can obtain the configuration information of each kitchen appliance.

[0039] Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned pre-configured target time generally refers to the dining time configured by the user on the control device. Therefore, the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance can be determined based on the dining time and the working time corresponding to the cooking mode.

[0040] Step S106, determining the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance based on the target time and the working time, so as to control the controlled kitchen appliance to start at a time corresponding to the start time.

[0041] By using the startup time calculated in step S106, the startup time of each kitchen appliance can be planned in advance, thereby ensuring that the dishes in different kitchen appliances can be completed at the same time during the user's meal time, giving the user the best experience of the dishes.

[0042] Furthermore, the above process of planning the start time can also be connected to kitchen appliances such as disinfection cabinets or dishwashers. In this way, the kitchen appliances can be cleaned and disinfected before the user has a meal, which provides a better user experience.

[0043] Therefore, the control method of kitchen appliances provided in the embodiment of the present invention can respond to the wireless connection between the control device and the controlled kitchen appliances; obtain the configuration information of the current controlled kitchen appliances, and the pre-configured target time; determine the start time of the controlled kitchen appliances based on the target time and the working time of the controlled kitchen appliances, so as to control the controlled kitchen appliances to start at the moment corresponding to the start time, and then realize the setting of the start time of the kitchen appliances, thereby ensuring that the dishes in different kitchen appliances can be completed at the same time during the user's meal time, giving the user the best experience of the dishes.

[0044] In actual use, for the above-mentioned situation where there are multiple controlled kitchen appliances, the control device in the embodiment of the present invention can also implement partition control on the graphical user interface according to the number of controlled kitchen appliances, thereby realizing linkage control of multiple controlled kitchen appliances.

[0045] Specifically, when the control device establishes a wireless connection with the controlled kitchen appliances, the number of the controlled kitchen appliances can be counted, and then the graphical user interfaces can be differentiated based on the number to perform linkage control on multiple kitchen appliances.

[0046] For ease of understanding, Figure 1On the basis of Figure 2 A flow chart of another method for controlling a kitchen appliance is also shown to further illustrate the control process of the kitchen appliance.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0048] Step S202, the response control device starts;

[0049] Step 204, detecting whether there is a connection signal from a kitchen appliance;

[0050] If yes, execute step S206, if no, return to step S204.

[0051] Step S206, connecting the kitchen appliance, determining the kitchen appliance as the controlled kitchen appliance, and displaying the operation interface of the controlled kitchen appliance on the graphical user interface;

[0052] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned connection signal in the embodiment of the present invention generally refers to the wireless signal transmitted by the communication module of the kitchen appliance. If the above-mentioned connection signal is not detected, it means that the surrounding kitchen appliances are not started. At this time, the graphical user interface of the control device can display that the connection signal of the kitchen appliance cannot be detected, so as to prompt the user to start the corresponding kitchen appliance.

[0053] Generally, if no connection signal is detected, the control device can wait for a certain time interval t0 and then return to step S204 to continue detecting whether there is a wireless signal of the corresponding kitchen appliance; wherein, the time interval t0 is also a time given to the user to start the kitchen appliance, and the specific t0 duration can be set according to actual usage, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0054] Furthermore, if a connection signal is detected, the control device may also provide a prompt, such as displaying the device identification of the detected kitchen appliance, etc., so as to facilitate continued connection of the kitchen appliance.

[0055] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, when connecting kitchen appliances, the user can simply click on the kitchen appliances that he needs to use and connect the corresponding kitchen appliances to the control device. Alternatively, the user can also select an automatic connection mode, that is, when the control device detects the connection signal of the corresponding kitchen appliance, it automatically connects wirelessly to the kitchen appliance to facilitate user use. The specific connection method can be set according to actual usage, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0056] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the operating interface of the controlled kitchen appliances is displayed on the graphical user interface, the number of the controlled kitchen appliances can be counted; then control areas matching the number are displayed on the graphical user interface; and the operating interface of the corresponding controlled kitchen appliance is displayed in each control area.

[0057] That is, the control device can be partitioned according to the number of connected kitchen appliances to obtain control areas consistent with the number of kitchen appliances, so as to display the operation interface of each kitchen appliance through the control area.

[0058] For example, when there are two kitchen appliances, the graphical user interface can be divided into two control areas, each used to display the operation interface of the two kitchen appliances. In this way, the user can realize linkage control of the two kitchen appliances through the control device.

[0059] Step S208, obtaining configuration information of the currently controlled kitchen appliance and the pre-configured target time;

[0060] The configuration information in the embodiment of the present invention includes the cooking mode of the controlled kitchen appliance and the working time corresponding to the cooking mode;

[0061] Step S210, determining the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance based on the target time and the working time, so as to control the controlled kitchen appliance to start at a time corresponding to the start time.

[0062] In specific implementation, the user can prepare the ingredients required by each kitchen appliance in advance, and then put the prepared ingredients into the corresponding kitchen appliance in sequence. When the kitchen appliance is started, the kitchen appliance can directly cook the ingredients and perform the cooking work.

[0063] Furthermore, if the user wishes to clean and disinfect the tableware before dining, the tableware can also be placed in a corresponding dishwasher or disinfection cabinet.

[0064] Furthermore, the user sets his own dining time T0 as the target time according to his own needs, and each kitchen appliance will complete its work at the same time to give the user the best experience of the dishes. For example, if the user wants to eat at 12:00 noon, then the target time T0 should be set to 12:00.

[0065] Then the user sets the working mode and working time of each kitchen appliance in turn. The working time can be set automatically through the recipe program or manually by the user according to user needs. At this time, the control device can record the time required for these kitchen appliances to complete the work, that is, the working time, respectively, such as t1, t2, t3, ..., tn.

[0066] Furthermore, the control device calculates according to the dining time set by the user and the working time of each kitchen appliance, for example, the dining time T0 is used to subtract the working time t1, t2, t3, ..., tn of each kitchen appliance in turn, and the results are recorded as T1, T2, T3, ..., Tn (Tn = T0-tn). T1, T2, T3, ..., Tn are the scheduled start times of each kitchen appliance. For example, if the working time of kitchen appliance No. 1 is expected to complete cooking in one hour, then t1 = 1:00. At this time, T1 = T0-t1 = 12:00-1:00 = 11:00, and kitchen appliance No. 1 will be scheduled to start working at 11:00 in the morning.

[0067] At this time, the control device can detect the current time information in real time; if the time information is consistent with the start time of the above-mentioned controlled kitchen appliance, a start command is generated; the start command is sent to the controlled kitchen appliance to start the controlled kitchen appliance, so that the controlled kitchen appliance operates according to the pre-configured cooking mode.

[0068] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, time information and the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance are also displayed on the operation interface of each controlled kitchen appliance; when the monitored time information is consistent with the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance, a prompt signal is generated to provide a prompt. For example, a light flashes in the corresponding control area, or a buzzer prompt is provided at the same time, etc., to prompt the user that the kitchen appliance has started cooking at this time.

[0069] In addition, each control area of ​​the control device can also display the preset working status of the corresponding kitchen appliance, such as whether cooking is in progress or waiting for cooking, or whether cooking is completed, etc.

[0070] In actual use, the cooking modes of the above-mentioned controlled kitchen appliances and the corresponding working time of the cooking modes can be configured by the user. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration interface of the controlled kitchen appliance can be displayed in response to the configuration operation acting on the operation interface of the above-mentioned controlled kitchen appliance; the configuration interface is used to configure the configuration information of the controlled kitchen appliance. For example, in the configuration interface, the cooking modes supported by the current kitchen appliance and the cooking time corresponding to each cooking mode can be displayed, or, in each cooking mode, a configuration control for the cooking time is also provided, so that the user can customize the cooking time of the cooking mode, etc., for the user to configure. Then, in further response to the end of the configuration operation, the above-mentioned configuration information is saved.

[0071] Furthermore, the above configuration information can be displayed on the operation interface of the control area, and the user can confirm whether the start time of each kitchen appliance meets their own requirements based on the configuration information displayed in the control device and the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance. If the requirements are met, the user can wait until the time information reaches the start time of the kitchen appliance and start the kitchen appliance to cook.

[0072] If it does not meet their own requirements, users can adjust the startup time of the kitchen appliances on the graphical user interface of the control device according to their own needs.

[0073] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control device can also respond to the time configuration operation acting on the operating interface of the controlled kitchen appliance, extract the configuration time corresponding to the time configuration operation; determine the configuration time as the start time of the controlled kitchen appliance, and control the controlled kitchen appliance to start at the moment corresponding to the start time.

[0074] That is, the user can manually adjust the start time T of each kitchen appliance on the operation interface displayed in the control area. For example, if the user does not want a dish to be too hot and wants to let the dish cool before eating, the user can manually advance the start time T of the corresponding kitchen appliance.

[0075] Furthermore, when the working conditions of the kitchen appliances have been set up and the configuration information meets the user's own needs, each kitchen appliance will start working at the corresponding T1, T2, T3, ..., Tn time, and perform the cooking process according to the previously preset cooking mode.

[0076] In summary, the control method of kitchen appliances provided by the embodiment of the present invention can automatically set the start time of each kitchen appliance according to the user's dining time and the working conditions of each kitchen appliance when multiple kitchen appliances are running at the same time, so as to ensure that the dishes in different kitchen appliances can be completed at the same time when the user is dining, giving the user the best experience of the dishes. In addition, the user can also manually adjust the start time of these kitchen appliances. For example, if some dishes are expected to be cooled before consumption, the user can actively advance the start time of the corresponding kitchen appliance to optimize the user experience.
