[0027] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0028] The cooking utensil control method provided in the present application is applied to cooking utensil, and is specifically applied to cooking utensil of the type that can cook rice grains. Therefore, the type of cooking utensil is not limited to only one, and can be any one of an electric rice cooker, an electric steamer, a pressure cooker and a multi-function cooker, without specific limitation.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to implement the cooking appliance control method of the application, the cooking appliance should be equipped with an infrared detector so that the cooking appliance can construct an infrared image based on the infrared acquisition result of the infrared detector. The setting position of the infrared detector is not unique, as long as it can ensure that after the rice to be cooked is added to the cooking cavity, the infrared image corresponding to the rice to be cooked can be collected. For example, in one embodiment, the infrared detector can be set on the side wall of the cooking cavity or the inner side of the top cover of the cooking appliance (that is, the side close to the cooking cavity).

[0030] See also Figure 1 The present application provides a cooking appliance control method, including step 102, step 104 and step 106.

[0031] Step 102: Acquire an infrared image of the rice grains to be cooked in the cooking utensil when the cooking requirements are met.

[0032] Specifically, the cooking needs are met, that is, the cooking preparation work of the cooking utensil is completed, and the heating can be turned on at any time for cooking. The rice grains to be cooked are the rice grains placed in the cooking cavity of the cooking utensil to be cooked and waiting to be heated. The infrared image is the image obtained by infrared imaging collection and analysis.

[0033] In the scheme of this embodiment, the cooking appliance includes a cooking appliance body and an infrared collector, wherein the cooking appliance body includes a main controller, a cooking cavity, a heating device and other structures, the main controller is communicatively connected with the infrared collector, and the cooking appliance control method is specifically executed by the main controller.

[0034] It should be noted that the main controller has a different way of acquiring infrared images. In one embodiment, the infrared collector may acquire infrared signals and analyze and process them to obtain infrared images and send them to the main controller. In another embodiment, the infrared collector may acquire infrared information corresponding to the rice grains to be cooked and send it to the main controller, which analyzes and processes them to obtain infrared images.

[0035] Step 104, determining the rice type information of the rice grains to be cooked according to the infrared image.

[0036] Specifically, the rice variety information is information characterizing different types of rice grains. It should be noted that the classification of rice varieties is not unique. In one embodiment, the rice varieties can be distinguished by the shape of the rice grains, such as long-grain rice, short-grain rice, etc. In another embodiment, the rice varieties can also be distinguished, such as indica rice, japonica rice, germ rice, etc., which are not specifically limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0037] Step 106, determining a target cooking scheme required for the rice grains to be cooked to achieve an optimal cooking taste based on the rice variety information, and performing a cooking operation based on the target cooking scheme.

[0038] Specifically, the target cooking scheme is the specific operation mode of the cooking appliance when the rice grains are cooked to the best cooking taste. Specifically, the target cooking scheme may include the heating temperature required for each stage of the cooking appliance, the heating time of each stage, etc., which are not specifically limited.

[0039] After obtaining the infrared image, the main controller first analyzes the infrared image to determine the type of rice grains added to the cooking cavity at this time. After that, the rice type information obtained by the analysis is matched to the target cooking plan. Finally, according to the corresponding control parameters in the target cooking plan, the heating device of the cooking appliance is controlled to heat and operate in the required mode.

[0040] The above cooking utensil control method can collect infrared images of the rice grains to be cooked in the cooking utensil when the cooking utensil meets the cooking requirements. Then, the infrared images are analyzed to determine the rice type information of the rice grains to be cooked at this time. Finally, the rice type information is matched to the target cooking scheme required to achieve the best cooking taste for the rice grains to be cooked, and the rice grains to be cooked are cooked according to the target cooking scheme. Through this scheme, the rice type can be automatically identified and matched with the target cooking scheme by infrared image detection, so that the cooking scheme matches the rice type, thereby obtaining rice with the best cooking taste.

[0041] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, obtaining an infrared image of rice grains to be cooked in a cooking utensil includes steps 202 and 204 .

[0042] Step 202, obtaining infrared radiation parameters of rice grains to be cooked in the cooking utensil.

[0043] Step 204: construct an infrared image of the rice grains to be cooked according to the infrared radiation parameters.

[0044] Specifically, the infrared radiation parameters are parameters that characterize the energy of infrared rays radiated outward by the rice grains to be cooked. Under normal conditions, the molecules and atoms inside an object are constantly undergoing irregular thermal motion, which causes the surface of the object to continuously radiate infrared rays, and different objects have different absorption, reflection and transmission capabilities for infrared radiation of different wavelengths. Therefore, by collecting the infrared radiation parameters of the rice grains to be cooked, an analysis can be constructed based on the infrared radiation parameters and converted into a visible infrared image. Through this solution, combined with the infrared radiation parameters of the rice grains to be cooked, an infrared image is constructed to ensure the accuracy of the infrared image.

[0045] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the infrared radiation parameters include array infrared radiation parameters; step 204 includes step 302.

[0046] Step 302: taking the radiation point of each infrared radiation parameter in the array infrared radiation parameter as a pixel point, performing image conversion processing on each pixel point to obtain an infrared image of the rice grains to be cooked.

[0047] Specifically, in order to realize the construction of infrared images of different rice grains, the solution of this embodiment adopts an infrared acquisition device with an infrared array acquisition function as an infrared detector to acquire infrared images of each rice grain located on the surface in an actual scene.

[0048] Specifically, the infrared detector first collects array infrared signals from the rice grains to be cooked through its optical system, converts the energy into infrared radiation parameters in the form of electrical signals, and transmits them to the main controller. The main controller will treat each radiation point of the infrared radiation parameter as a pixel point, and perform a series of processing such as amplification, filtering, noise reduction, analog-to-digital conversion, etc. on the electrical signals corresponding to each pixel point, and finally construct a map with the digital signals corresponding to each pixel point to obtain an infrared image of the rice grains to be cooked.

[0049] The above scheme realizes infrared image construction of rice grains to be cooked by infrared array acquisition, and has high infrared image construction accuracy.

[0050] See also Figure 4 , in one embodiment, step 104 includes step 402.

[0051] Step 402, comparing and analyzing the infrared image and a preset rice variety database to determine the rice variety information of the rice grains to be cooked.

[0052] Specifically, the rice variety database stores infrared images corresponding to different rice varieties. The solution of this embodiment uses infrared image comparison to match in a preset rice variety database, and finally determines the rice variety information currently added to the cooking cavity, which has a high accuracy in rice variety information comparison.

[0053] In other embodiments, the rice type information of the rice grains to be cooked can also be determined by other methods, for example, characteristic parameters of the rice grains to be cooked are extracted from the infrared image, and then the characteristic parameters are compared and analyzed with preset characteristic parameters to determine the rice type information. For example, in one embodiment, the length parameters of the rice grains to be cooked can be extracted from the infrared image, and then the length parameters are compared with the preset length parameters to determine whether the rice grains to be cooked are long-grain rice or short-grain rice.

[0054] In one of the embodiments, the method further includes: determining that cooking requirements are met when a start cooking instruction is received; or determining that cooking requirements are met when water and rice to be cooked are detected to be added to the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance.

[0055] Specifically, the way in which the main controller of the cooking appliance determines whether the cooking requirements are met is not unique. In one embodiment, the cooking appliance may be configured with a human-computer interaction interface. When the user uses the cooking appliance, if the user has put rice to be cooked into the cooking cavity, or all cooking preparations have been completed, a start cooking instruction can be sent to the main controller through the human-computer interaction interface. The main controller receives the start cooking instruction and considers that the cooking requirements are met.

[0056] In another embodiment, the cooking appliance may be equipped with a rice grain detection device, and when the cooking appliance is in use, the rice grain detection device may be used to detect in real time whether water is injected into the cooking cavity or whether rice grains to be cooked are heated. For example, a weighing sensor may be provided in the cooking appliance to determine whether water and rice grains to be cooked are added by detecting the weight change of the cooking cavity.

[0057] The above scheme triggers the infrared recognition operation by detecting whether a cooking start instruction is received or whether water and rice to be cooked are added. This can not only avoid energy waste caused by continuous triggering of infrared recognition, but also improve the accuracy of starting cooking.

[0058] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, a target cooking scheme required for the rice grains to be cooked to achieve an optimal cooking taste is determined based on the rice variety information, including steps 502 and 504.

[0059] Step 502, obtaining a cooking mode.

[0060] Step 504: Determine the target cooking solution required for the rice grains to achieve the best cooking taste according to the rice variety information and the cooking mode.

[0061] Specifically, cooking mode refers to the cooking procedures performed by cooking utensils to achieve different cooking purposes. In different cooking modes, the same ingredients or different ingredients can be cooked to meet different taste requirements. In actual scenarios, depending on the cooking mode, even if the same type of rice is to be cooked, the cooking operations required are different. For example, cooking rice and cooking porridge have different cooking operations even if the same type of rice is used.

[0062] Therefore, it is also necessary to determine the target cooking plan for cooking rice grains in combination with the cooking mode. In the scheme of this embodiment, the cooking plans for different types of rice are different under the same cooking mode; and different cooking modes corresponding to the same type of rice also execute different cooking plans.

[0063] It should be noted that the types of cooking modes are not unique. In one embodiment, the cooking modes include any one of standard cooking, fine cooking, quick cooking, fast cooking, porridge cooking, wood-fired rice, multi-grain rice and brown rice.

[0064] The above scheme combines the rice type information and the cooking mode to determine the final target cooking scheme required, which can ensure that various types of rice can achieve the best cooking taste under different cooking modes and has high cooking reliability.

[0065] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the present application is explained below in conjunction with more detailed embodiments.

[0066] When the user needs to use the cooking utensil, he or she manually adds rice grains and water to the cooking cavity of the cooking utensil, and after washing the rice (which is an optional operation and can be omitted), he or she sends a start cooking instruction through the human-computer interaction interface of the cooking utensil. After receiving the instruction, the main controller controls the array infrared sensor to operate, collects the infrared radiation parameters of the rice grains to be cooked, and constructs an infrared image of the rice grains to be cooked after a series of conversion processes.

[0067] After that, the main controller calls the preset rice type database, compares the infrared image input, and obtains the rice type information of the rice to be cooked at this time. The main controller further obtains the cooking mode currently selected by the user, and finally combines the cooking mode and rice type information to adaptively select the appropriate target cooking plan to control the cooking operation of the cooking appliance.

[0068] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps does not have a strict order restriction, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of the steps or stages in other steps.

[0069] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides a cooking appliance control device for implementing the cooking appliance control method involved above. The implementation scheme for solving the problem provided by the device is similar to the implementation scheme recorded in the above method, so the specific limitations in one or more cooking appliance control device embodiments provided below can refer to the limitations of the cooking appliance control method above, and will not be repeated here.

[0075] See also Figure 7In one embodiment, the device further includes a demand verification module 702.

[0076] The demand verification module 702 is used to determine whether the cooking demand is met when a start cooking instruction is received; or to determine whether the cooking demand is met when water and rice to be cooked are added to the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance.

[0077] In one embodiment, the cooking execution module 606 is further used to obtain a cooking mode; and determine a target cooking plan required for the rice grains to be cooked to achieve an optimal cooking taste according to the rice type information and the cooking mode.

[0078] Each module in the above cooking appliance control device can be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware or a combination thereof. Each module can be embedded in or independent of a processor in a computer device in the form of hardware, or can be stored in a memory in a computer device in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute operations corresponding to each module.

[0079] The above cooking utensil control device can collect infrared images of the rice grains to be cooked in the cooking utensil when the cooking utensil meets the cooking requirements. Then, the infrared images are analyzed to determine the rice type information of the rice grains to be cooked at this time. Finally, the rice type information is matched to the target cooking scheme required to achieve the best cooking taste for the rice grains to be cooked, and the rice grains to be cooked are cooked according to the target cooking scheme. Through this scheme, the rice type can be automatically identified and matched with the target cooking scheme by infrared image detection, so that the cooking scheme matches the rice type, thereby obtaining rice with the best cooking taste.

Through this scheme, the rice type can be automatically identified and matched with the target cooking scheme by infrared image detection, so that the cooking scheme matches the rice type, thereby obtaining rice with the best cooking taste.

[0083] In one embodiment, the infrared collector 803 is an infrared array sensor.

[0084] Specifically, in order to construct infrared images of different rice grains, the solution of this embodiment adopts an infrared array sensor with an infrared array acquisition function as an infrared detector to collect infrared images of each rice grain located on the surface in an actual scene.

[0085] The infrared detector first collects the array infrared signals from the rice grains to be cooked through its optical system, converts the energy into infrared radiation parameters in the form of electrical signals, and transmits them to the main controller.
