Description

[0003] In the prior art, a dry-burn prevention gas stove usually adds a temperature-sensing column in the middle of the burner, which senses the temperature of the pot bottom through the temperature-sensing column. When the temperature of the pot bottom is too high, the gas supply to the burner is automatically cut off. The existing temperature measurement protection strategy has the following problems: users use different types of pots during cooking, such as non-metallic pots, aluminum pots, frying pans or round-bottomed pots. For non-metallic pots, during the timing operation, the temperature of the pot bottom detected by the temperature control probe is too high, which can easily cause the stove high-temperature protection to shut down in the middle, affecting the user experience; for aluminum pots and other pots with a bottom that is prone to concave deformation, it is easy for the top of the probe to not be in place, causing the dry-burn prevention to be falsely triggered; in scenes such as frying and flipping the pot, the temperature measurement probe and the bottom of the pot are prone to collision and damage.

[0050] The embodiment of the present invention provides a stove anti-dry-burning device, which is suitable for gas stoves equipped with an anti-dry-burning function and can be compatible with different types of pots. In this embodiment, the pots are classified by material, including but not limited to any of the following: non-metallic pots and metal pots, wherein non-metallic pots include but are not limited to: casserole pots, stone pots, ceramic pots or glass pots; metal pots include but are not limited to: aluminum pots, iron pots or stainless steel pots; classified by shape, the pots include but are not limited to: flat pans or round bottom pots; classified by function, the pots include but are not limited to: frying pans, steaming pots or stew pots.

[0051] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a stove with an anti-dry-burning control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a stove with an anti-dry burning control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the stove includes a pot rack 1, a water tray 2, a burner 3 and an anti-dry-burning module 11, and the pot rack 1 is used to support the pot to be tested. When the stove is working, the pot is placed on the pot rack 1, the lower surface of the pot is in contact with the upper surface of the pot rack 1, and the pot rack 1 supports the pot. The pot rack 1 is placed on the water tray 2, and the water tray 2 supports the pot rack 1. The upper part of the burner 4, the lower part of the water tray 2, and the panel 13 are fixedly connected by fasteners. The burner 3 is arranged between the water tray 2 and the upper part of the burner 4, and the lower part of the burner 4 is fixedly connected to the chassis 5 by fasteners. The anti-dry-burning module 11 is located between the burner 3 and the hollow part 10 of the burner.

[0052] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a stove dry-burning prevention control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3 As shown, the control device of the present application includes: a detection module 17 and a control module 18 .

[0053] The detection module 17 is used to obtain material detection data, shape detection data and dynamic detection data of the cookware to be tested. In this embodiment, the material detection data is the data fed back after the material detection is performed on the cookware to be tested; the shape detection data is the data fed back after the shape detection is performed on the cookware to be tested; and the dynamic detection data is the data fed back after the action state detection is performed on the cookware to be tested.

[0054] The control module 18 is connected to the detection module 17 and the anti-dry-burning module 11, respectively, and is used to identify the cooking scene according to the material detection data, the shape detection data and the dynamic detection data, and adjust the working state and the protection temperature threshold of the anti-dry-burning module 11 according to the cooking scene. Among them, the working state includes but is not limited to: turning off the anti-dry-burning module 11, and maintaining the anti-dry-burning module 11 to perform temperature measurement on the bottom of the pot to be tested. The protection temperature threshold is the temperature that triggers the anti-dry-burning protection action (such as shutting down) based on the temperature measurement data of the anti-dry-burning module 11. Optionally, the cooking scene includes but is not limited to any of the following: cooking with a metal pot, cooking with a non-metal pot, or flipping the pot scene.

[0055] Specifically, when the cooker is working, the control module 18 can determine the material of the cooker based on the material monitoring data of the cooker. Since the temperature of the bottom of cookers of different materials is different during the cooking process, the control module 18 will adjust the anti-dry burning protection temperature threshold according to the material of the cooker. For example, if it is detected that the material of the cooker to be tested is non-metallic, the bottom temperature of the non-metallic cooker will be higher during the cooking process due to the poor thermal conductivity of the non-metallic cooker, so the anti-dry burning protection temperature threshold needs to be increased; while the thermal conductivity of metal cookers is better, and the difference between the bottom temperature of metal cookers and the temperature of the food in the cooker during the cooking process is small. If it is detected that the material of the cooker to be tested is metal, the anti-dry burning protection temperature threshold needs to be lowered to avoid the occurrence of misjudgment by the anti-dry burning module 11. At the same time, the control module 18 determines the shape of the cooker and whether the cooker is moving based on the shape monitoring data and the dynamic detection number. If the cookware is moving, it is determined that the user is moving the cookware, such as the user is shaking the cookware or transferring the cookware, and the anti-dry-burning module 11 is turned off to prevent the cookware from colliding with the anti-dry-burning module 11 and damaging the cookware or the anti-dry-burning module 11. If the control module 18 determines that the cookware is stationary, the anti-dry-burning module 11 is turned on and abuts against the bottom of the cookware to detect the temperature of the bottom of the cookware to prevent dry-burning.

[0056] An anti-dry-burn control device for a stove provided in an embodiment of the present invention can adjust the anti-dry-burn protection temperature threshold according to the material of the cookware, thereby avoiding the occurrence of misjudgment of the anti-dry-burn module; at the same time, according to the shape and dynamic recognition of the cooking scene, the working state of the anti-dry-burn module is adjusted accordingly, which can not only avoid the collision between the moving cookware and the anti-dry-burn module, but also realize the anti-dry-burn protection during continuous cooking, which solves the problem that the existing anti-dry-burn module is difficult to be compatible with different cookware, resulting in easy false triggering of the anti-dry-burn protection or collision damage of the temperature measuring element, thereby improving the applicability of the anti-dry-burn module to different cookware and reducing safety hazards.

[0057] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another stove anti-dry burning control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 4As shown, the stove anti-dry-burning control device of the present application also includes a driving component 200, which is used to drive the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move; the control module 18 is also configured to: determine whether the pot to be tested is deformed according to the material detection data and the shape detection data, and when the pot to be tested is deformed, control the driving component to drive the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in the direction toward the pot to be tested until the anti-dry-burning module 11 abuts against the bottom of the pot to be tested; and / or, when the cooking scene is a stir-fry cooking scene, control the driving component 200 to drive the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in the direction away from the pot to be tested. In this embodiment, the driving component 200 is connected to the anti-dry-burning module 11 in a transmission connection to drive the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in the direction toward or away from the bottom surface of the pot to be tested. Exemplarily, when the driving component 200 drives the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in a direction toward the bottom surface of the cookware to be tested, if the anti-dry-burning probe 111 of the anti-dry-burning module 11 abuts against the bottom surface of the cookware, the driving component 200 stops driving; when the driving component 200 drives the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in a direction away from the bottom surface of the cookware to be tested, the driving component 200 can increase the distance between the anti-dry-burning probe 111 and the bottom surface of the cookware according to the calibration data, or drive the anti-dry-burning probe 111 to hide inside the burner 3.

[0058] Specifically, when the pot is placed on the pot rack 1, the bottom heights of pots of different shapes will be different, for example, the bottom of a flat pan will be higher than that of a round bottom pan, so the control module 18 needs to determine the position of the bottom of the pot according to the shape detection data and adjust the position of the anti-dry-burning module 11 to measure the temperature of the bottom of the pot. In addition, pots of some materials are prone to deformation when subjected to continuous high temperatures, such as aluminum pots, so when the control module 18 determines that the pot to be tested is deformed, the anti-dry-burning module 11 needs to abut against the bottom of the pot to be tested to detect whether the temperature of the bottom of the pot is too high.

[0059] For example, when the user is flipping the pan, the position and angle of the pot are constantly changing, and the anti-dry-burn module 11 has a greater probability of colliding with the bottom of the pot. At the same time, since the user can directly observe the state of the pot when flipping the pan, the anti-dry-burn module 11 does not need to be in working state. Therefore, the control drive component 200 drives the anti-dry-burn module to move in a direction away from the pot to be tested, so as to avoid the anti-dry-burn module 11 colliding with the bottom of the pot and causing damage to the anti-dry-burn module 11 or the pot.

[0060] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a driving component provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 is an exploded view of a drive assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the drive assembly 200 includes a drive motor 6 and a transmission mechanism. The drive motor 6 is connected to the control module 18, and is used to receive the drive control signal issued by the control module 18, and execute forward or reverse rotation according to the drive control signal; the transmission mechanism is provided with a crank portion 7 and a connecting rod portion 8, the crank portion 7 is connected to the drive motor 6, the first end of the connecting rod portion 8 is hinged to the crank portion 7, and the second end of the connecting rod portion 8 is hinged to the anti-dry-burning module 11, the crank portion 7 rotates synchronously with the drive motor 6, and drives the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in a direction toward or away from the pot to be tested through the connecting rod portion 8; the control module 18 is configured to: obtain the crank radius and the connecting rod length of the transmission mechanism, determine the moving distance of the anti-dry-burning module 11 according to the material detection data, the shape detection data and the dynamic detection data, and determine the crank angle according to the moving distance, the crank radius and the connecting rod length, and issue a drive control signal according to the crank angle.

[0061] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the drive motor 6 rotates forward or reversely, the drive motor 6 drives the crank portion 7 and the connecting rod portion 8 to move, thereby achieving the displacement of the anti-dry-boiling probe 11 in a direction toward or away from the cookware (for example, in a vertical direction). The calculation formula for the displacement of the anti-dry-boiling probe 11 is:

[0062] x=R(1-cosα)+Rλ(1-cos2α) / 4

[0063] Wherein, x represents the displacement of the probe, R is the crank radius, α is the crank angle, and λ is the ratio of the crank radius R to the connecting rod length L (R / L). The crank radius is the distance between the connection point of the crank portion 7 and the drive motor 6 and the connection point of the crank portion 7 and the connecting rod portion 8. The control module 18 can determine the distance that the anti-dry burning module 11 needs to move according to the material detection data, the shape detection data, and the dynamic detection data, and control the drive motor 6 according to the above formula to move the anti-dry burning module 11 to a specific position.

[0064] Optionally, the drive assembly 200 further includes a fixing portion 9, which is hinged to the second end of the connecting rod portion 8, and the outer periphery of the fixing portion 9 forms a nested clearance fit with the side wall of the hollow portion 10 of the burner head of the burner 3, which is used to lock and fix the anti-dry-burning module 11, so that the anti-dry-burning module 11 can move in a direction toward or away from the pot to be tested. In this embodiment, the fixing portion 9 is two cover plates arranged opposite to each other, and the anti-dry-burning module 11 is fixed in a fixing hole formed by the two cover plates.

[0065] Figure 7 is an exploded view of a drive assembly and a furnace head provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of the drive assembly and the furnace head provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figures 5 to 8As shown, the fixing portion 9 is hinged to the second end of the connecting rod portion 8, and is locked to fix the anti-dry burning module 11, so that the anti-dry burning module 11 can be driven by the connecting rod portion 8 to move upward or downward. The fixing portion 9 includes a fixing hole and a plurality of fixing feet. The fixing hole is used to fix the anti-dry burning module 11. The fixing feet are radially arranged outside the fixing hole and form a nested clearance fit with the side wall of the hollow portion 10 of the burner head, thereby ensuring that the anti-dry burning module 11 will not deviate in the horizontal direction while moving up and down.

[0066] See also Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the anti-dry-burning module 11 includes an anti-dry-burning probe 111 and a support portion 112; the anti-dry-burning probe 111 is arranged in the hollow portion 10 of the burner head of the burner 3; and the support portion 112 is locked and fixed to the fixing portion 9. The anti-dry-burning probe 111 can be provided with a temperature sensor and / or a thermistor, and the bottom temperature of the pot to be tested is detected by contact between the anti-dry-burning probe 111 and the bottom surface of the pot.

[0067] Combination Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the support part 112 is locked and fixed to the fixing part 9, so that the anti-dry burning probe 111 is placed in the hollow part 10 of the burner. Specifically, the fixing part 9 includes a fixing hole, the size of which is interference fit with the support part 112, so that the support part 112 is locked and fixed in the fixing part 9.

[0068] Fig. 9 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another device for preventing dry burning of a cooker provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the power module 22 supplies power to the control module 18 and the drive motor 6, and the control module 18 is connected to the detection module 17. The control module 18 receives data from the detection module 17, determines the action and shape of the cookware, and determines the cooking scene according to the action and shape of the cookware.

[0069] Optionally, the detection module 17 includes a motion shape detection unit for collecting dynamic detection data and shape detection data of the pot to be tested. Optionally, the motion shape detection unit includes at least one ultrasonic sensor. When the number of ultrasonic sensors is greater than or equal to 2, multiple ultrasonic sensors are evenly arranged within the inner circumferential range of the pot rack 1 to identify the real-time distance between the bottom of the pot and the transmitting end of the ultrasonic sensor. Preferably, 3 or four ultrasonic sensors can be set. Multiple ultrasonic sensors are evenly arranged on the surface of the water receiving tray 2 facing the side of the pot to be tested, and the projection of the ultrasonic sensor on the panel 13 falls within the inner circumferential range of the pot rack. The control module 18 is also configured to: determine the pot action and pot shape according to the real-time distance collected by at least one ultrasonic sensor, and determine the cooking scene according to the pot action and pot shape. Specifically, during the detection process, the ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic waves to identify the real-time distance from the bottom of the pot supported by the pot rack, and identifies the pot action and pot shape according to the distance and change of the distance at various places in the space. For example, if the real-time distance between the bottom surface of the cookware to be tested and the ultrasonic sensor continues to change, it is determined that the cookware to be tested is moving; if the real-time distance between the bottom surface of the cookware to be tested and the ultrasonic sensor does not change for a long time (for example, within 2 seconds), it is determined that the cookware is stationary.

[0070] Optionally, the detection module 17 further includes a material detection unit, which is used to obtain material detection data of the cookware to be tested. The material detection unit includes at least one of the following: an electrical detection unit, an optical detection unit, and a thermal conductivity detection unit.

[0071] Among them, the electrical detection unit is used to detect the conductive properties of the pot to be tested. Typically, the electrical detection unit includes but is not limited to: a capacitive sensor, a resistive sensor or a magnetoelectric sensor. Exemplarily, taking a capacitive sensor as an example, the capacitive sensor is arranged at the probe head of the anti-dry-burning module 11, and the capacitive sensor and the bottom surface of the pot to be tested can form a capacitor plate. The capacitance calculation formula is C=εS / (4πkd), wherein ε represents the dielectric constant (for a parallel plate capacitor, ε is the dielectric constant between the capacitive sensor and the bottom surface of the pot to be tested), S represents the area facing the capacitor plate, d represents the distance from the capacitor plate (i.e., the bottom surface of the pot), and k represents the electrostatic force constant. The control module 18 of the present application is also configured to: determine the resistance and capacitance values ​​of the pot to be tested according to the material detection data collected by the electrical detection unit, and determine the material of the pot according to the resistance and capacitance values. Specifically, the presence or absence of capacitance can be used to determine whether the cookware is made of metal (capacitor detected) or non-metallic material (capacitor not detected). Furthermore, the specific metal material (such as aluminum alloy or iron alloy) can be determined by the capacitance value obtained by detection.

[0072] The optical detection unit is used to detect the radiation coefficient of the pot to be tested to a specific light wave. Typically, the optical detection unit includes but is not limited to: a radiometer or an infrared radiation detection unit. Exemplarily, taking the infrared radiation detection unit as an example, the infrared radiation detection module is arranged in the outer peripheral direction of the pot rack 1, abutting against the water receiving tray 2 or the upper surface of the panel 13, and detecting the radiation coefficient of the bottom surface of the pot. The control module 18 is also configured to: determine the radiation coefficient of the pot to be tested according to the material detection data collected by the optical detection unit, and determine the material of the pot according to the radiation coefficient. Specifically, the optical detection module can be arranged in the outer peripheral direction of the pot rack 1, abutting against the water receiving tray 2 or the upper surface of the panel 13, and the material of the pot can be determined by receiving and analyzing the radiation coefficient of the bottom surface of the pot. For example, when the radiation coefficient of the bottom surface of the pot to be tested is less than the radiation coefficient critical value (for example, 0.6), the pot to be tested is determined to be a non-metallic pot; when the radiation coefficient of the bottom surface of the pot to be tested is greater than or equal to the radiation coefficient critical value (for example, 0.6), the pot to be tested is determined to be a metal pot.

[0078] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a stove to prevent dry burning, which is implemented based on the above stove to prevent dry burning control device. The stove of the present application includes a pot rack 1, a water receiving tray 2, a burner 3 and an anti-dry burning module 11. The pot rack 1 is used to support the pot to be tested. Fig.10 : is a flow chart of a stove anti-dry burning control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Fig.10 As shown, the stove anti-dry burning control method of the present application includes:

[0079] S1. Obtain material detection data, shape detection data and dynamic detection data of the cookware to be tested.

[0080] In this embodiment, different types of sensors or other detection elements may be arranged at positions facing the bottom surface of the cookware to be tested to collect detection data at corresponding positions.

[0081] S2. Identify the cooking scene according to the material detection data, the shape detection data, and the dynamic detection data, and adjust the working state and the protection temperature threshold of the anti-dry-burning module according to the cooking scene.

[0082] Optionally, the stove anti-dry-burning control method of the present invention further includes: determining whether the cookware to be tested is deformed based on the material detection data and the shape detection data, and when the cookware to be tested is deformed, controlling the drive component to drive the anti-dry-burning module to move in a direction toward the cookware to be tested until the anti-dry-burning module abuts against the bottom of the cookware to be tested; and / or, when the cooking scene is a flipping cooking scene, controlling the drive component to drive the anti-dry-burning module to move in a direction away from the cookware to be tested.

[0083] Specifically, if the cooking scene is identified as a stir-fry cooking scene, the driving component 200 is controlled to drive the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in a direction away from the pot to be tested, and the driving component 200 can increase the distance between the anti-dry-burning probe 111 and the bottom surface of the pot according to the calibration data, or drive the anti-dry-burning probe 111 to hide inside the burner 3, and the display panel 21 shows that the anti-dry-burning probe has descended; if it is identified that the pot to be tested has no action, the driving component 200 drives the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in a direction toward the bottom surface of the pot to be tested. , the display panel 21 shows that the anti-dry-burning probe rises. If the anti-dry-burning probe 111 of the anti-dry-burning module 11 abuts against the bottom surface of the pot, the drive component 200 stops driving; some pots made of materials are easily deformed when subjected to continuous high temperature, such as aluminum pots. If the pot to be tested is identified to be deformed, the drive component 200 is controlled to drive the anti-dry-burning module 11 to move in the direction toward the bottom surface of the pot to be tested, so that the anti-dry-burning module 11 abuts against the bottom of the pot to be tested to detect whether the temperature of the bottom of the pot is too high. If the anti-dry-burning module 11 detects that the temperature of the bottom of the pot is higher than the anti-dry-burning protection temperature threshold, the anti-dry-burning high-temperature protection is triggered, the display panel 21 shows that the anti-dry-burning mode is triggered, and the gas supply is cut off, and the stove is turned off. If the user rotates the timing encoder knob 15 to turn on the timing mode, the display panel 21 can also display the timing mode and the remaining timing time. If the anti-dry-burning high-temperature protection is not triggered within the timing time, the gas supply is cut off at the end of the timing time, and the stove is turned off.

[0084] Optionally, the stove anti-dry-burning control method of the present invention further includes: determining the resistance and capacitance values ​​of the cookware to be tested according to the material detection data collected by the electrical detection unit, and determining the material of the cookware according to the resistance and capacitance values; and / or, determining the emissivity of the cookware to be tested according to the material detection data collected by the optical detection unit, and determining the material of the cookware according to the emissivity; and / or, determining the thermal conductivity of the cookware to be tested according to the material detection data collected by the thermal conductivity detection unit, and determining the material of the cookware according to the thermal conductivity.

[0085] Optionally, the stove anti-dry-burn control method of the present invention further includes: obtaining the working mode of the stove, and displaying corresponding data according to the working module; wherein the working mode includes at least one of the following: timing mode, probe lifting and lowering display mode and anti-dry-burn trigger mode.

[0086] Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another method for controlling a stove to prevent dry burning provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.11 , the user rotates the power knob to ignite, and the thermocouple detects whether the ignition is successful. After the ignition is successful, the anti-dry-burn mode is turned on by default. Next, the thermal conductivity detection unit and the ultrasonic sensor judge the material, shape and movement of the pot. If the pot has continuous movement, the anti-dry-burn probe 111 descends to the inside of the burner 3; if the pot has no continuous movement and is a non-metallic pot, the anti-dry-burn protection temperature threshold is increased by Δt; if the pot has no continuous movement and is a metal pot, the drive motor 6 drives the anti-dry-burn probe 111 to abut against the bottom of the pot, wherein the round-bottomed pot does not require the anti-dry-burn probe 111 to move, and the flat pan requires the anti-dry-burn probe 111 to rise to abut against the bottom of the pot. If the anti-dry-burn high-temperature protection is triggered, the stove will be turned off; if the anti-dry-burn high-temperature protection is not triggered, the stove will be turned off when the timing ends.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
