Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of kitchen utensils, and in particular to a fire control valve and a stove. Background Art

[0002] In daily stoves, a plug valve is usually used to adjust the firepower of the stove burner and the on-off of the gas. The plug valve is directly connected to the burner, and the on-off of the gas and the firepower of the burner are adjusted by rotating the plug valve.

[0003] The plug valve usually consists of a valve body, a valve core, a valve stem, a micro switch, and other additional devices such as a solenoid valve. The main working principle of the gas plug valve is that the gas enters through the air inlet of the valve body, passes through the solenoid valve in turn, then enters the valve core, and finally passes through the side opening of the valve core to connect with the side opening of the outlet pipe, thereby supplying gas to the gas stove, which involves a complex gas control process.

[0004] Among the common gas stopcocks currently, the overall structure of the stopcock is relatively complex, and it contains many functional components and parts, and the coordination relationship between the functional components is also relatively cumbersome and tight. Since the stopcock has too many parts and components and needs to be converted from one-channel air intake to two-channel air outlet, the longitudinal space that needs to be reserved in the stopcock area is relatively large, which leads to an increase in the longitudinal space that needs to be reserved for the stove as a whole, resulting in a low internal space utilization rate of the stove. At the same time, in conventional gas stoves using inner and outer ring burners and dual-channel stopcocks, the use of electric control valves such as motor valves and proportional valves to adjust the fire has the problem of too high cost of adjusting the fire, and the use of strong suction valves to adjust the fire has the problem of too few fire adjustment states for different scenarios and the fire adjustment is not intelligent enough.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The present invention is further described below by way of embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0051] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a stove 100 , which includes a stopcock 110 , a flame control valve 120 and a burner 150 .

[0052] The plug valve 110 is used to adjust the flow of the gas by rotating itself.

[0053] In this embodiment, the plug valve 110 has a single gas flow channel, the opening of the gas flow channel is adjusted by rotating the plug valve 110, and the gas flow channel is connected to the air inlet channel 1211 of the fire control valve 120. The plug valve 110 also has a valve stem 111, and the valve stem 111 is rotated to adjust the opening of the gas flow channel. This plug valve 110 that adjusts the flow channel opening by rotation has been widely used in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] The flame control valve 120 is used to adjust the gas flow between the stopcock 110 of the stove 100 and the burner 150 of the stove 100 .

[0055] The fire control valve 120 includes a housing 121 , an outer ring solenoid valve 132 and an inner ring solenoid valve 131 .

[0056] The shell 121 is provided with an inner ring outer chamber 1215 , an outer ring outer chamber 1217 , an inner ring inner chamber 1214 , an outer ring inner chamber 1216 , an inner ring intercepting channel 1218 , and an inner ring connecting channel 1219 .

[0057] The plug valve 110 is connected to the inner ring outer chamber 1215 , and the inner ring inner chamber 1214 and the outer ring inner chamber 1216 are respectively connected to the inner ring fire cover and the outer ring fire cover of the burner 150 .

[0058] The inner ring solenoid valve 131 is used to open and close the inner ring flow path between the inner ring outer chamber 1215 and the inner ring inner chamber 1214 , and the outer ring solenoid valve 132 is used to open and close the outer ring flow path between the outer ring outer chamber 1217 and the outer ring inner chamber 1216 .

[0059] The first port and the second port of the inner ring intercepting channel 1218 are connected to the inner ring outer chamber 1215 and the inner ring inner chamber 1214 respectively.

[0060] The first port and the second port of the inner ring communication channel 1219 are respectively connected to the inner ring inner chamber 1214 and the outer ring outer chamber 1217 .

[0061] The fire control valve 120 can replace the original stopcock valve 110 to realize the function of opening and closing the outer ring fire, so that the structure of the stopcock valve 110 can be simplified and the longitudinal volume can be reduced. At the same time, the fire control valve 120 can open and close the inner and outer ring flow paths through the inner ring solenoid valve 131 and the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the setting of the inner ring interception channel 1218 to realize a variety of fire adjustment states corresponding to different cooking modes, making the fire adjustment of the stove 100 more intelligent.

[0062] The inner ring inner chamber is adjacent to the outer ring inner chamber, the inner ring inner chamber body is arranged inside the inner ring outer chamber, and the outer ring inner chamber is arranged inside the outer ring outer chamber body. The inner ring inner chamber is separated from the outer ring inner chamber by a partition wall, and the inner ring outer chamber is also separated from the outer ring outer chamber by a partition wall.

[0063] An air inlet passage 1211 , an inner ring air outlet passage 1212 , and an outer ring air outlet passage 1213 are also provided in the shell 121 .

[0064] The air inlet channel 1211 is connected between the stopcock 110 and the inner ring outer chamber 1215, the inner ring air outlet channel 1212 is connected between the inner ring inner chamber 1214 and the inner ring fire cover, and the outer ring air outlet channel 1213 is connected between the outer ring inner chamber 1216 and the outer ring fire cover.

[0065] The fire control valve 120 further includes an inner ring regulating pin 141 , which is disposed in the inner ring intercepting channel 1218 and is used to regulate the flow of the inner ring intercepting channel 1218 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the intercepting channel is formed by setting an adjusting pin, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can form the intercepting channel by other existing components or other existing forms as needed.

[0067] An inner ring intercepting hole 142 is provided in the inner ring regulating nail 141, and the inner ring intercepting hole 142 is respectively connected to the side wall and the end surface of the inner ring regulating nail 141. The regulating nail mainly realizes interception through the intercepting hole, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the intercepting hole is much smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​normal fluid channels such as the air inlet channel 1211, the inner ring air outlet channel 1212, the outer ring air outlet channel 1213, the inner ring intercepting channel 1218, and the inner ring connecting channel 1219, and only a trace amount of fluid can flow through the intercepting hole.

[0068] The shell 121 is also provided with an inner ring interception mounting hole 143 which penetrates from the outer side of the shell 121 to the inner side of the shell 121 . The inner ring adjustment nail 141 is installed in the inner ring interception mounting hole 143 . The inner ring interception mounting hole 143 penetrates the inner ring interception channel 1218 .

[0069] A portion of the inner ring intercepting hole 142 penetrates the side wall of the inner ring adjusting nail 141, and the inner ring intercepting hole 142 forms a "T" shape in the inner ring adjusting nail 141, including a transverse penetration portion and a longitudinal penetration portion. The diameter of the inner ring adjusting nail 141 where the transverse penetration portion is located is smaller than the diameter of the inner ring intercepting mounting hole 143 where the inner ring adjusting nail 141 is located at the corresponding position, so that at this position, a gap is formed between the side of the inner ring adjusting nail 141 and the hole wall of the inner ring intercepting mounting hole 143, so that the fluid entering from the inner ring intercepting channel 1218 can pass through the gap and enter the inner ring intercepting hole 142 of the inner ring adjusting nail 141, so that the inner ring inner chamber 1214 and the inner ring outer chamber 1215 are connected, but only a trace amount of fluid is allowed to flow.

[0070] The flow area of ​​the inner ring connecting channel 1219 is larger than the flow area of ​​the inner ring intercepting channel 1218, and is larger than or equal to the flow area of ​​the inner ring flow path.

[0071] Since the inner ring shut-off channel 1218 is provided with an inner ring shut-off pin, its flow area is much smaller than the flow area of ​​a normal fluid channel, and the outer ring gas outlet channel 1213 needs to be connected with the air inlet channel 1211 through the inner ring connecting channel 1219. Therefore, the flow area of ​​the inner ring connecting channel 1219 should be roughly equivalent to the flow area of ​​the inner ring flow path, so as to ensure the gas supply to the outer ring gas outlet channel 1213, that is, the outer ring fire cover of the burner 150. The gas enters the outer ring gas outlet channel 1213 through the air intake channel 1211 via the inner ring outer chamber 1215, the inner ring inner chamber 1214, the inner ring connecting channel 1219, the outer ring outer chamber 1217, and the outer ring inner chamber 1216, and is finally supplied to the outer ring fire cover of the burner 150. The gas supplied to the inner ring fire cover of the burner 150 enters the inner ring gas outlet channel 1212 from the air intake channel 1211 via the inner ring outer chamber 1215, the inner ring inner chamber 1214, and is finally supplied to the inner ring fire cover of the burner 150.

[0072] Since the inner ring shut-off channel 1218 needs to supply air to the outer ring outer chamber 1217 when the inner ring solenoid valve 131 is closed, the flow area of ​​the inner ring shut-off channel 1218 is larger than the flow area of ​​a general shut-off channel, so that the inner ring fire can remain at a medium fire when the inner ring solenoid valve 131 is closed.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the stove 100 also includes a control unit 161 and a rotation detection unit 162. The control unit 161 is electrically connected to the rotation detection unit 162, the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131; the rotation detection unit 162 is used to detect the rotation angle of the stopcock 110; the control unit 161 controls the opening and closing of the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the first detection result of the rotation detection unit 162.

[0074] The rotation detection unit 162 may obtain a first detection result by detecting a rotation angle of the valve stem 111 of the plug valve 110 .

[0075] Taking the maximum rotation angle of the plug valve 110 as 170°, 0-40° corresponds to only inner ring fire, 40°-140° corresponds to both inner and outer ring fire, and 140°-170° corresponds to only inner ring fire as an example, when the plug valve 110 rotates to 0°-40°, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close, and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to open; when the plug valve 110 turns to 40°-140°, the control unit 161 controls both the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to open; when the plug valve 110 turns to 140°-170°, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close, and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to open.

[0076] The rotation detection unit 162 includes a micro switch 114 , and the micro switch 114 is electrically connected to the control unit 161 .

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, the micro switch 114 includes an inclined paddle 115, a trigger plate 112 is sleeved on the valve stem 111 of the stopcock 110, and a protrusion 113 extending a predetermined distance along the circumference of the trigger plate 112 is provided on the trigger plate 112, and the protruding length of the protrusion 113 is set to be able to press the paddle 115.

[0078] In this embodiment, the rotation of the stopcock 110 from 0 to the maximum angle corresponds to the rotation from minimum fire to maximum fire and then to minimum fire.

[0079] Taking the maximum rotation angle of the plug valve 110 as 170°, 0-40° corresponding to only inner ring fire, 40°-140° corresponding to both inner and outer ring fire, and 140°-170° corresponding to only inner ring fire as an example, the predetermined distance of the protrusion 113 extending along the circumference of the trigger plate 112 corresponds to a coverage angle of 100°. When the plug valve 110 rotates to 0-40°, the paddle 115 is not pressed, and the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close in response to the micro switch 114. When the plug valve 110 rotates to 40°-140°, the paddle 115 is pressed by the protrusion 113, and the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to open normally in response to the micro switch 114. When the plug valve 110 rotates to 140°-170°, the paddle 115 is not pressed, and the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close in response to the micro switch 114. The tail end of the protrusion 113 in the positive rotation direction (clockwise in the figure) smoothly transitions with the other parts of the trigger plate 112, so that the plug valve 110 can rotate smoothly when rotating (counterclockwise in the figure).

[0080] In other embodiments, the micro switch 114 includes an inclined paddle 115, and a trigger plate 112 is sleeved on the valve stem 111 of the stopcock 110. The trigger plate 112 may also be provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion extending a predetermined distance along the circumference of the trigger plate 112. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are separated by a specified distance in the circumferential direction, and the protruding lengths of the first protrusion and the second protrusion are both set to be able to press the paddle 115.

[0081] This prescribed distance corresponds to the rotation angle range of the plug valve 110 for a high fire, and the extending length of the first protrusion and the second protrusion in the circumferential direction corresponds to the rotation angle range of the plug valve 110 for a low fire.

[0082] Taking the maximum rotation angle of the plug valve 110 as 170°, 0-40° corresponding to only inner ring fire, 40°-140° corresponding to both inner and outer ring fire, and 140°-170° corresponding to only inner ring fire as an example, the circumferential extension coverage angles of the first protrusion and the second protrusion are 40° and 30° respectively, and the circumferential extension coverage angle of the specified distance is 100°. When the plug valve 110 rotates to 0-40°, the first protrusion presses the paddle 115, and the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close in response to the micro switch 114. When the plug valve 110 rotates to 40°-140°, the paddle 115 is not pressed, and the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to open in response to the micro switch 114. When the plug valve 110 rotates to 140°-170°, the second protrusion presses the paddle 115, and the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close in response to the micro switch 114. The tail ends of the first protrusion and the second protrusion in the positive rotation direction smoothly transition to other parts of the trigger plate 112, so that the plug valve 110 can rotate smoothly when rotating.

[0083] In other embodiments, the rotation detection unit 162 may also be an angle sensor, which may be a Hall effect angle sensor, a magnetoresistive effect angle sensor, or the like.

[0084] In other embodiments, the rotation detection unit 162 may also be an optical sensor. A positioning ring is sleeved on the valve stem 111 of the plug valve 110. The positioning ring is provided with multiple positioning points corresponding to different rotation angles. The optical sensor is used to identify the multiple positioning points.

[0085] The cooker 100 further includes an input unit 163 , which is electrically connected to the control unit 161 ; the input unit 163 is used to send a command signal to the control unit 161 , and the control unit 161 also controls the opening and closing of the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the command signal of the input unit 163 .

[0086] The input unit 163 sends out command signals according to the buttons or button modes corresponding to different cooking scenes. Different cooking scenes correspond to different buttons or button modes. The button modes include different pressing durations and pressing times, such as long pressing or short pressing twice in the soup-making scene, etc. The control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the command signal of the input unit 163 to adjust the firepower of the burner 150. Optionally, the plug valve 110 may also be provided with an electric control driver, which is used to drive the rotation of the plug valve 110. The control unit 161 may also control the electric control driver according to the command signal of the input unit 163 to adjust the opening of the gas flow channel of the plug valve 110, so as to more precisely control the firepower of the burner 150.

[0087] In another embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the stove 100 also includes a scene detection unit 164 instead of the input unit 163, and the scene detection unit 164 is electrically connected to the control unit 161; the scene detection unit 164 is used to detect the current cooking scene, and the control unit 161 controls the opening and closing of the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the second detection result of the scene detection unit 164.

[0088] The scene detection unit 164 is used to detect the current cooking scene, and the control unit 161 controls the opening and closing of the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the second detection result of the scene detection unit 164 to adjust the firepower of the burner 150. The scene detection unit 164 can be, for example, a camera or a sound sensor. For example, when the camera detects that the pot on the cooker 100 is boiling, the camera transmits the image signal to the control unit 161, the control unit 161 recognizes the image and determines that the cooking scene is boiling, and controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to close, and directly adjusts the firepower to the minimum, or when the sound sensor detects the sound of boiling, the sound sensor transmits the sound signal to the control unit 161, the control unit 161 recognizes the sound, determines that the current cooking scene is boiling, and performs corresponding control. Optionally, the plug valve 110 can also be provided with an electric control driver, which is used to drive the rotation of the plug valve 110. The control unit 161 can also control the electronically controlled driver according to the command signal of the input unit 163 to adjust the opening of the gas flow channel of the stopcock 110, thereby more precisely controlling the firepower of the burner 150.

[0089] In yet another embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the stove 100 also includes an input unit 163 and a scene detection unit 164, both of which are connected to the control unit 161; the input unit 163 is used to send a command signal to the control unit 161, and the scene detection unit 164 is used to detect the current cooking scene and send a second detection result to the control unit 161; when the control unit 161 determines that the cooking mode corresponding to the command signal is different from the cooking mode corresponding to the second detection result, the cooking mode corresponding to the second detection result is preferentially executed, and the opening and closing of the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 are controlled according to the cooking mode.

[0090] The cooker 100 includes both an input unit 163 and a scene detection unit 164, which can avoid manual operation errors. For example, when the cooking scene is a pot-frying, a person may press a wrong key in a panic, resulting in an operation error. The input unit 163 inputs a command signal corresponding to the cooking scene of stir-frying, but the scene detection unit 164 detects that the cooking scene is a pot-frying. At this time, the control unit 161 preferentially executes the cooking mode corresponding to the pot-frying, that is, closes the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131, and adjusts the firepower of the burner 150 to the lowest. In this way, manual operation errors can be avoided to cause damage.

[0091] When the control unit 161 determines that the cooking mode corresponding to the instruction signal is the same as the cooking mode corresponding to the second detection result, it executes the cooking mode corresponding to the instruction signal and controls the opening and closing of the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the cooking mode.

[0092] The cooker 100 may also include an alarm device, which is electrically connected to the control unit 161; when the control unit 161 determines that the cooking mode corresponding to the command signal is different from the cooking mode corresponding to the detection result, the control unit 161 controls the alarm device to issue a prompt. Through the prompt of the alarm device, the operator can find out his own operating errors in time, so as to correct them in time to avoid more serious consequences. The alarm device can be an alarm light, an alarm sound, a display screen showing an alarm, etc.

[0093] In this embodiment, the scene detection unit 164 plays a correction role. The corresponding cooking mode is executed only when the cooking mode corresponding to the instruction signal is the same as the cooking mode corresponding to the second detection result, thereby avoiding misjudgment or premature operation and manual operation errors caused by direct detection by the scene detection unit 164. For example, the scene detection unit 164 directly determines that the stir-fry mode is based on the wok being on the stove, but in fact, the operator may be about to change the wok.

[0094] The following is the gas flow condition in the fire control valve 120 when the solenoid valve is opened and closed.

[0095] When the inner ring solenoid valve 131 is opened and the outer ring solenoid valve 132 is opened, the inner ring flow path flows normally and the outer ring flow path also flows normally.

[0096] When the inner ring solenoid valve 131 is closed and the outer ring solenoid valve 132 is closed, the inner ring flow path is cut off, and the gas flows from the inner ring outer chamber through the inner ring cut-off channel into the inner ring inner chamber; the outer ring flow path is closed.

[0097] When the inner ring solenoid valve 131 is opened and the outer ring solenoid valve 132 is closed, the inner ring flow path flows normally and the outer ring flow path is closed.

[0098] When the inner ring solenoid valve 131 is closed and the outer ring solenoid valve 132 is opened, the gas intercepted in the inner ring flow path flows from the inner ring outer chamber through the inner ring interception channel into the inner ring inner chamber; the outer ring flow path is also intercepted, and the gas flows through the inner ring chamber, the inner ring interception channel, the inner ring inner chamber, and the outer ring outer chamber in sequence into the outer ring inner chamber. At this time, the gas of the inner ring fire cover and the outer ring fire cover both comes from the inner ring interception channel.

[0099] When the stove 100 has not entered the fire adjustment mode, that is, at this time, when the fire power is controlled only according to the rotation of the stopcock 110, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the first detection result of the rotation detection unit 162, thereby realizing the fire adjustment function of the general stove 100.

[0100] Taking the maximum rotation angle of the plug valve 110 as 170°, 0-40° corresponds to only inner ring fire, 40°-140° corresponds to both inner and outer ring fire, and 140°-170° corresponds to only inner ring fire as an example, when the plug valve 110 rotates to 0°-40°, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close, and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to open; when the plug valve 110 turns to 40°-140°, the control unit 161 controls both the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to open; when the plug valve 110 turns to 140°-170°, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 to close, and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 to open.

[0101] When the cooker 100 enters the fire adjustment mode, the cooker 100 has the following fire adjustment modes:

[0102] Mode 1: When the inner ring solenoid valve is open and the outer ring solenoid valve is open, the burner 150 has both inner ring fire and outer ring fire, and the firepower is adjusted as the plug valve 110 rotates.

[0103] Mode 2: When the inner ring solenoid valve is closed and the outer ring solenoid valve is closed, the outer ring fire of the burner 150 is off, and the inner ring fire remains at a medium fire (at this time, only the inner ring shut-off channel 1218 has gas passing through, so that the inner ring fire remains at a medium fire), and as the plug valve 110 rotates, the inner ring fire can be infinitely adjusted between no fire and medium fire.

[0104] Mode 3: When the inner ring solenoid valve is opened and the outer ring solenoid valve is closed, the inner ring fire is adjusted as the plug valve 110 rotates, and the outer ring fire is without fire.

[0105] Mode 4: When the inner ring solenoid valve is closed and the outer ring solenoid valve is opened, both the inner ring fire and the outer ring fire remain at a low fire (at this time, only the inner ring interception channel 1218 has gas passing through, and the gas needs to be supplied to the inner ring gas outlet channel 1212 and the outer ring gas outlet channel 1213 at the same time, so that the inner ring fire cannot maintain a medium fire and becomes smaller, and the outer ring fire can only maintain a low fire). Since the inner ring fire and the outer ring fire are both low fires at this time, even if the plug valve 110 rotates, the adjustment of the firepower is very weak.

[0106] Mode 1 is more advantageous for pan cooking, as the flame radius does not decrease as the firepower decreases, and the entire bottom surface of the pan is heated evenly.

[0107] Mode 2 can quickly adjust to a medium or low heat with a smaller flame radius, which is very useful for pot-stewing scenarios. The operator can achieve medium or low heat with one button, and it can also be used in cooking scenarios such as making soup.

[0108] Mode three is suitable for scenarios such as frying eggs in a small pan. For example, popular frying pans with a smaller radius and coffee pots on the market are suitable for heating in mode three.

[0109] Mode 4 reduces the interference of the inner ring fire on the anti-dry burning temperature sensor, and is suitable for cooking scenarios such as low-temperature frying (even low heat) or stewing soup (extremely low heat).

[0110] Modes 1 to 4 can also be freely combined and applied in cooking recipes, and modes 2, 3, and 4 can all achieve the purpose of reducing the firepower. For example, in the steaming mode, you can first use mode 1, switch to mode 2 or 3 after the water boils, and switch to mode 1 after the water temperature drops (add water).

[0111] Compared with the double-channel stopcock, the single-channel stopcock of this embodiment is more suitable for adjusting the cooking mode. The single-channel stopcock can more conveniently adjust the firepower when the inner ring fire is normal (the firepower is adjusted according to the rotation of the stopcock) and the outer ring fire is not in the state.

[0112] When the stopcock 110 is provided with an electric driver, multiple step modes can be added in modes one to four to correspond to more detailed cooking scenes. For example, frying a pancake can directly correspond to the state in which the stopcock 110 is turned to 20° in mode one. In this way, you can enter the cooking scene of fixed food with one click, perform fool-proof operation, and avoid adjusting the fire by yourself, which may cause cooking failure.

[0113] When the cooker 100 enters the flame adjustment mode, that is, after the input unit 163 or the scene detection unit 164 is triggered, the control unit 161 no longer controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the first detection result of the rotation detection unit 162 .

[0114] This embodiment also provides a fire adjustment method, which is applied to the above-mentioned stove 100.

[0115] The fire adjustment method includes:

[0116] Determine whether to enter the fire adjustment mode.

[0117] If yes, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132, the inner ring solenoid valve 131 and the electronically controlled driver according to the command signal or the second detection result.

[0118] If not, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132 and the inner ring solenoid valve 131 according to the first detection result.

[0119] Among them, when the command signal and the second detection result exist at the same time, if the command signal is inconsistent with the cooking mode corresponding to the second detection result, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132, the inner ring solenoid valve 131 and the electronic control driver according to the second detection result; if the command signal is consistent with the cooking mode corresponding to the second detection result, the control unit 161 controls the outer ring solenoid valve 132, the inner ring solenoid valve 131 and the electronic control driver according to the command signal.
