[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demands for quality of life also increase, leading to the development of various household appliances that facilitate daily life. In the kitchen, steam ovens, as a major kitchen appliance, provide numerous conveniences for family life. They can be used to cook food using the steaming function, expand recipes, and the steaming method also helps reduce nutrient loss in food.

[0003] Steam ovens typically have both baking and steaming functions. During the baking / steaming process, a large amount of steam needs to be generated inside the oven, and then maintained at a high temperature to cook the food. However, during the steam generation stage, excessive moisture in the food or excessive steam generated by the steam generator can cause water to accumulate at the bottom of the oven. This water accumulation can easily breed bacteria and affect the taste of subsequently cooked food, reducing the user experience. Therefore, current steam ovens suffer from insufficient reliability.

[0072] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0073] The steam oven control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 In the application environment shown, this application provides a control device 10, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the control device 10 includes a detection device 11 and a controller 12. The detection device 11 is disposed on the steam oven 20, and both the detection device 11 and the steam oven 20 are connected to the controller 12. The detection device 11 can detect the usage process of the steam oven 20 and, depending on the type of detection device 11, collect parameters of different dimensions of the steam oven 20 during use. For example, if the detection device 11 includes a humidity sensor, it can collect the humidity parameters of the steam oven 20 and transmit them to the controller 12. Optionally, the detection device 11 can include different types of devices such as a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and a timer to detect parameters of different dimensions of the steam oven 20. The controller 12 is used to control the steam oven 20 based on the control methods for the steam oven 20 described in the embodiments of this application.

[0074] Furthermore, based on this, this application can also provide a steam-baking device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the steam oven includes a steam oven 20 and a control device 10. The control device 10 is connected to the steam oven 20 and can be installed inside or outside the steam oven 20. The steam oven 20 includes a housing 21, a steam generator 22, and a heating device 23. The steam generator 22, the heating device 23, and the control device 10 are all housed within the housing 21. The steam generator 22 and the heating device 23 are connected to the control device 10. For example, the heating device 23 can be a heating element.

[0075] Specifically, the oven body 21 is used to realize the steaming and baking functions of the steam oven 20, cooking the food. A steam generator 22 generates steam, and a heating device 23 maintains the temperature inside the steam oven 20. Together, they regulate the cooking environment within the oven body 21, allowing the food to be processed according to a set cooking process, ultimately resulting in cooked food. The steam generator 22 and heating device 23 are connected to the control device 10, specifically to the controller 12. Under the control of the controller 12, the operation of the steam generator 22 and heating device 23 can be adjusted. A detection device 11 of the control device 10 is located inside the oven body 21 of the steam oven 20. It detects changes within the oven body 21 during use and transmits the detected data to the controller 12. The controller 12 then adjusts the operation of the heating device 23 and the steam generator 22 based on this data.

[0076] Furthermore, the steam oven 20 may also include a processing chip. This processor is connected to the steam generator 22 and the heating element 23, and is used to control the heating element 23 and the steam generating pipe within the steam oven 20 to complete cooking when the steam oven 20 is not connected to the control device 10. The processing chip utilizes the controller 12 connected to the control device 10, enabling data interaction with the controller 12 and transferring control of the steam oven 20 to the controller 12. When the controller 12 needs to control the steam generator 22 and the heating element 23, the controller 12 sends the corresponding control command or signal to the processing chip, thereby enabling control of the steam generator 22 and the heating element 23.

[0077] Optionally, the detection device 11 may include different types of sensors such as temperature sensors and humidity sensors to detect different data inside the housing 21.

[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a steam oven control method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking controller 12 as an example, the explanation includes the following steps 202 to 208. Wherein:

[0079] Step 202: Obtain the target cooking program and humidity parameters of the steam oven.

[0080] The target cooking program of the steam oven is selected by the user and other terminals. It controls the food processing flow, including temperature, humidity, time, and switching between steam and grill modes. The controller can store multiple cooking programs for the user to select. The user can directly select a cooking program from these programs on a display device or terminal connected to the controller, and set this selected program as the target cooking program. The controller then controls the steam oven to cook the food based on this target program. The controller also connects to a detection device, which may include a humidity sensor installed inside the steam oven. This sensor detects the humidity data of the steam oven and transmits it to the controller.

[0081] It should be noted that the cooking process of a steam oven, based on its cooking program, can generally be divided into two stages. The first stage is mainly used to generate steam and maintain steam for cooking, while the second stage is mainly used to heat and cook at maximum power, eliminate steam, and complete the cooking process. Since the power of the second stage is relatively fixed, it usually does not require control or adjustment. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the cooking process described in the embodiments below refers to the cooking process of the first stage.

[0082] Furthermore, when the steam oven includes a processing chip, the cooking program can be stored within the processing chip. The user selects a target cooking program from among multiple programs stored on the processing chip, and the processing chip controls the heating element and steam generator to perform cooking based on the target cooking program. The processing chip is connected to a controller, which obtains the target cooking program through interaction with the processing chip.

[0083] Step 204: Confirm the heating parameters of the heating device of the steam oven based on the target cooking program.

[0084] Specifically, different target cooking programs can be determined based on the characteristics of different ingredients or different cooking methods. Since different cooking programs correspond to different cooking processes, the requirements for parameters such as temperature and humidity during the cooking process are also different. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the heating parameters of the steam oven's heating device according to the target cooking program. These heating parameters are the indicator parameters for controlling the heating device. During the cooking process, the controller will monitor and adjust the cooking process based on the data or values ​​corresponding to the determined heating parameters, so that the steam oven can accurately complete the cooking of the ingredients according to the target cooking program.

[0085] Optionally, different target cooking programs can determine different heating parameters. When the cooking process of the target cooking program is more sensitive to temperature, the heating parameter of the heating device that the target cooking program can determine is the temperature parameter; when the cooking process of the target cooking program is more sensitive to time, the heating parameter of the heating device that the target cooking program can determine is the time parameter.

[0086] Step 206: Control the operation of the heating device according to the target cooking program, heating parameters and humidity parameters.

[0087] Specifically, after the controller determines the heating parameters based on the target cooking program, it can combine the target cooking program, heating parameters, and humidity parameters to control the heating device. The target cooking program provides target values ​​for the heating device's operation, while the heating parameters determine the parameter type of those target values. The controller can analyze the measured data of that parameter type detected by the detection device against the target values ​​to determine the operating state of the heating device, thus controlling it. Furthermore, the controller can also combine the humidity parameters detected by the detection device with the aforementioned measured data to jointly adjust the operating state of the heating device.

[0088] Optionally, the controller can analyze the measured data and target values ​​obtained by the detection device to determine the operating state of the heating device and achieve initial control of the heating device. Based on this, it further analyzes the humidity parameters detected by the detection device and the humidity values ​​of the target cooking program to determine subsequent control of the heating device. Alternatively, the controller can analyze the measured values ​​and target values ​​obtained by the detection device, and when a specific relationship is formed between the measured data and the target values, it can activate the humidity parameters to participate in the control of the heating device. Alternatively, the controller can compare and analyze the measured data and humidity parameters obtained by the detection device with the corresponding target values ​​in the target cooking program, and control the operating state of the heating device based on the analysis results.

[0089] Step 208: Control the steam generator of the steam oven to generate steam according to the target cooking program and humidity parameters.

[0090] Since a large amount of steam is required for cooking during the steaming and baking process in a steam oven, the controller can control the steam generator of the steam oven while controlling the heating device. Specifically, the controller compares the target humidity value corresponding to the target cooking program with the humidity parameters obtained by the detection device, and controls the working state of the steam generator according to the humidity situation inside the steam oven, that is, controls the steam generation rate of the steam generator.

[0091] It should be noted that there is no mandatory execution order between steps 206 and 208 in this embodiment. That is, after step 204 is completed, steps 206 and 208 can be executed simultaneously. The controller can control both the heating device and the steam generator at the same time, or it can control the steam generator first and then the heating device, or vice versa. If there is a time difference between the two controls, the magnitude of this time difference can be arbitrarily set according to requirements.

[0092] The aforementioned steam oven control method includes acquiring the target cooking program and humidity parameters of the steam oven; determining the heating parameters of the heating device based on the target cooking program; controlling the operation of the heating device according to the target cooking program, heating parameters, and humidity parameters; and controlling the steam generator of the steam oven to produce steam according to the target cooking program and humidity parameters. By combining the selected target cooking program to determine the control of the steam oven, and further controlling the heating device and steam generator separately, the cooking process of the steam oven can be guaranteed to be reliable, the accumulation of moisture inside the steam oven can be reduced, and the reliability of the steam oven's use can be improved.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, step 206 includes steps 302 to 308.

[0094] Step 302: With the heating parameter being a temperature parameter, obtain the temperature data of the steam oven.

[0095] Specifically, the heating parameter can be a temperature parameter, indicating that the cooking process of the currently determined target cooking program is more sensitive to temperature and requires precise temperature control to ensure the taste of the ingredients and reduce nutrient loss. Therefore, when the heating parameter is a temperature parameter, the controller needs to adjust the control of the heating device based on temperature-related data. In this case, the detection device includes a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The controller connects to both the temperature and humidity sensors, acquiring the temperature data of the steam oven while obtaining the humidity parameter.

[0096] Step 304: Confirm the target temperature value based on the target cooking program.

[0097] Specifically, the controller, based on the cooking process determined in the currently defined target cooking program, calls upon the temperature requirements of the cooking process, i.e., the set temperature value, as the target temperature value. This target temperature value indicates that the food needs to be cooked at this target temperature during the cooking process of the corresponding target cooking program. Furthermore, there can be multiple temperature values ​​required during the cooking process, meaning that different set temperature values ​​can be used at different cooking times. In this case, the controller can determine the target temperature value based on the current execution progress of the target cooking program among multiple set temperature values. For example, the target temperature value can be determined based on the type of food in the target cooking program; for instance, the target temperature value can be 100 degrees Celsius when the food is vegetables, and 90 degrees Celsius when the food is fish.

[0098] Optionally, there is no mandatory execution order between steps 302 and 304 above. Figure 3 The illustration only shows step 302 being executed before step 304. In fact, steps 302 and 304 can be performed simultaneously, or step 304 can be executed before step 302.

[0099] Step 306: Control the heating device based on the temperature data and the target temperature value.

[0100] Specifically, after obtaining the actual detected temperature data and the target temperature value determined according to the target cooking program, the controller can use the target temperature value as a reference value to analyze the magnitude of the actual detected temperature value, and adjust the operation of the heating device accordingly based on the analysis results, thereby changing the temperature of the steam oven.

[0101] For example, the controller controls the operation of the heating device based on the difference between the temperature data and the target temperature value. That is, the heating power of the heating device is controlled according to the magnitude of the difference between the temperature data and the target temperature value: when the difference is less than 0, the heating power of the heating device is increased; when the difference is greater than 0, the heating power of the heating device is decreased; when the difference is equal to 0, the heating power of the heating device remains unchanged.

[0102] In another scenario, the controller can switch the heating device between preset temperature levels based on the difference between the temperature data and the target temperature value. The heating device has preset temperature settings, each corresponding to a different operating state. The first temperature level is the initial level, the default setting when the heating device is working, where the heating element operates at 70% duty cycle, with a cycle of 7 seconds every 10 seconds. The second temperature level is an advanced level, where the heating element operates at 50% duty cycle, with a cycle of 5 seconds every 10 seconds. Therefore, when the difference is less than 0, the heating device operates at the first temperature level; when the difference is greater than 0, the heating device operates at the second temperature level.

[0103] Furthermore, after the controller controls the heating device based on the temperature data and the target temperature value, it is equivalent to changing the temperature inside the steam oven. The detection device, located inside the oven, can monitor the temperature inside the steam oven in real time. Therefore, when the controller controls the heating device based on the temperature data and the target temperature value, the temperature data detected by the detection device will be fed back to the controller in real time, enabling the controller to achieve more accurate control.

[0104] Step 308: When the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature value, control the heating device according to the target cooking program and humidity parameters.

[0105] Specifically, since the detection device obtains temperature data in real time, this real-time temperature data can be used as the real-time temperature and compared with the target temperature value. When the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature value, that is, when the real-time temperature is greater than or equal to the target temperature value, the controller will activate the humidity parameter to participate in the control of the heating device, controlling the operation of the heating device according to the target cooking program and the humidity parameter obtained by the detection device. For example, if the operation of the heating device includes a first temperature level and a second temperature level, then when the heating device is operating at the second temperature level, the humidity parameter is used to fine-tune the control of the heating device, further accurately ensuring that the amount of steam in the steam oven matches the demand and reducing the possibility of water accumulation.

[0106] Furthermore, in another scenario, when the real-time temperature does not reach the target temperature value, that is, when the real-time temperature is less than the target temperature value, the humidity parameter does not need to be used to control the heating device. Step 306, which controls the heating device based on the temperature data and the target temperature value, can still be executed.

[0107] The shift from controlling the heating device based on temperature data in step 306 to controlling it based on humidity parameters in step 308 represents a change in the basis for controlling the heating device when the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature value. In reality, when the temperature data reaches the target temperature value, not only can the humidity parameter be used to control the heating device, but the temperature data can also be used to adjust the heating device independently. That is, in one embodiment, step 306 includes: controlling the heating device to operate at a first heating power when the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature value.

[0108] Specifically, once the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature, the controller first reduces the heating element's power to the first heating power level. This first heating power can be a preset heating power value, such as the second temperature setting mentioned above, corresponding to the heating element operating at a 50% duty cycle with a cycle of 5 seconds every 10 seconds. While adjusting the heating element to the first heating power, the controller also adjusts the heating element's operation based on the target cooking program and humidity parameters, that is, adjusting it based on the first heating power level to achieve humidity-based power fine-tuning and reduce water accumulation.

[0109] It should be noted that the heating parameter may not be a temperature parameter, but other parameters. The controller can control the operation of the heating device based on different defined heating parameters. In an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, step 206 includes steps 402 to 408.

[0110] Step 402: When the heating parameter is a time parameter, obtain the time data of the steam oven.

[0111] Specifically, the heating parameter can be a time parameter, indicating that the cooking process of the currently determined target cooking program is more sensitive to time and requires precise control of the cooking time to ensure the taste of the ingredients and reduce nutrient loss. Therefore, when the heating parameter is a time parameter, the controller needs to adjust the control of the heating device based on time-related data. In this case, the detection device includes a timer and a humidity sensor. The controller connects to the timer and humidity sensor, acquiring the time data of the steam oven while obtaining the humidity parameter.

[0112] Alternatively, the time data may not be obtained by the detection device. The controller may have a built-in timing function, start timing when the target cooking program starts, and use the time obtained by timing as the time data of the steam oven.

[0113] Step 404: Confirm the target time value based on the target cooking program.

[0114] Specifically, the controller, based on the cooking process defined in the currently determined target cooking program, calls upon the cooking time requirement for that process, i.e., the set time value, as the target time value. This target time value represents the cooking time required for the ingredients during the corresponding target cooking program. Furthermore, there can be multiple time values ​​required during the cooking process; that is, different set time values ​​can exist at different cooking times. In this case, the controller can determine the target time value based on the current execution progress of the target cooking program among multiple set time values. For example, the target time value can be determined based on the type of ingredients in the target cooking program; for instance, the target time value could be 15 minutes for vegetables and 20 minutes for fish.

[0115] Optionally, there is no mandatory execution order between steps 402 and 404 above. Figure 4 The illustration only takes step 402 as being executed before step 404 as an example. In fact, steps 402 and 404 can be performed simultaneously, or step 404 can be executed before step 402.

[0116] Step 406: Control the heating device based on the time data and the target time value.

[0117] Specifically, after obtaining the actual detected time data and the target time value determined according to the target cooking program, the controller can use the target time value as a reference value to analyze the magnitude of the actual detected time value, and adjust the operation of the heating device accordingly based on the analysis results, thereby changing the cooking process of the steam oven.

[0118] For example, the controller controls the operation of the heating device based on the difference between the time data and the target time value. That is, it determines whether the target time value has been reached based on the time data, and controls the heating power of the heating device accordingly: if the target time value has not been reached, the heating power of the heating device is increased to a set level at a certain rate; if the target time value has been reached, the heating power of the heating device is decreased to another set level at a certain rate.

[0119] In another scenario, the controller can determine whether the target time value has been reached based on time data, and accordingly control the heating device to switch between preset speed settings. Specifically, the heating device has preset speed settings, each corresponding to a different working state. The first speed setting is the initial speed setting, which is the default speed setting when the heating device is working. This could mean that the heating element of the heating device operates with a 60% duty cycle, with a working cycle of 6 seconds every 10 seconds. The second speed setting is the advanced speed setting, where the heating element of the heating device operates with a 40% duty cycle, with a working cycle of 4 seconds every 10 seconds. Therefore, if the target time value has not been reached, the heating device is controlled to operate at the first speed setting; if the target time value has been reached, the heating device is controlled to operate at the second speed setting.

[0120] Furthermore, after the controller controls the heating device based on the time data and the target time value, since the time data is in a state of continuous increase, when the controller controls the heating device based on the time data and the target time value, the controller will execute step 406 according to the real-time time data so that the controller can achieve more accurate control.

[0121] Step 408: When the working time reaches the target time value, control the heating device according to the target cooking program and humidity parameters.

[0122] Specifically, since the time data acquired by the controller is comparable to the execution time of the target cooking program, the real-time detected time data can be used as the working duration and compared with the target time value. When the working duration reaches the target time value, that is, when the working duration is greater than or equal to the target time value, the controller will activate the humidity parameter to participate in the control of the heating device, controlling the operation of the heating device according to the target cooking program and the humidity parameter acquired by the detection device. For example, if the operation of the heating device includes a first time setting and a second time setting, then when the heating device is operating at the second time setting, the humidity parameter is used to fine-tune the control of the heating device, further ensuring that the amount of steam in the steam oven matches the demand and reducing the possibility of water accumulation.

[0123] Furthermore, in another scenario, if the working time does not reach the target time value, that is, if the working time is less than the target time value, the humidity parameter does not need to be used to control the heating device. Step 406, which controls the heating device based on the time data and the target time value, can still be executed.

[0124] The shift from controlling the heating device based on time data in step 406 to controlling it based on humidity parameters in step 408 represents a change in the basis for controlling the heating device when the operating time reaches the target time value. In reality, when the time data reaches the target time value, not only can the humidity parameter be used to control the heating device, but the time data can also be used to adjust the heating device independently. Specifically, in one embodiment, step 406 includes: controlling the heating device to operate at a second heating power when the operating time reaches the target time value.

[0125] Specifically, when the target cooking time is reached, the controller first reduces the heating device's power to a second heating power. This second heating power can be a pre-set value; optionally, it can be the same as or different from the first heating power. For example, the second heating power can be the aforementioned second time setting, corresponding to the heating element of the heating device operating at a 40% duty cycle, with a working cycle of 4 seconds every 10 seconds. While adjusting the heating device to the second heating power, the controller also adjusts the heating device's operation based on the target cooking program and humidity parameters, that is, adjusting it based on the second heating power to achieve humidity-based power fine-tuning, thereby reducing water accumulation.

[0126] In this embodiment, different heating parameters are determined by considering the target cooking program. When the heating parameter is temperature or time, the heating device is controlled based on the target value (including the target temperature value and the target time value) and humidity parameter to adjust the working state of the heating device. This ensures that the steam engine can accurately control the heating device during the cooking process, ensuring the cooking effect of the food. At the same time, it helps to reduce the water accumulation in the steam oven and improve the reliability of the steam oven.

[0127] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, controlling the heating device according to the target cooking program and humidity parameters in step 308 or step 408 can include steps 502 to 504.

[0128] Step 502: Confirm the target humidity range based on the target cooking program.

[0129] Specifically, based on the humidity parameter control of the heating device, the controller determines the target humidity range according to the target cooking program. The controller, based on the cooking process defined in the currently determined target cooking program, calls upon the humidity requirements during the cooking process, i.e., sets the humidity value as the target humidity range. This target humidity range indicates that the food needs to be kept within this target humidity range during the cooking process of the corresponding target cooking program.

[0130] Furthermore, the required humidity level during cooking may vary significantly, meaning different humidity levels can be set at different cooking times. In this case, the controller can determine a specific humidity level based on the current progress of the target cooking program, and then determine a target humidity range based on that set humidity level. For example, the target humidity range can be determined based on the type of food in the target cooking program, the cooking method in the target cooking program, or a combination of both.

[0131] Step 504: Control the heating device according to the humidity parameters and the target humidity range.

[0132] Specifically, after the controller activates the heating parameters to control the heating device, it can use the target humidity range as a reference range, analyze the deviation between the actual detected humidity parameters and the target humidity range, and fine-tune the operation of the heating device accordingly based on the analysis results, thereby changing the cooking process of the steam oven.

[0133] Furthermore, the controller controls the operation of the heating device based on the deviation between the humidity parameter and the target humidity range. That is, the heating power of the heating device is controlled according to the numerical relationship between the humidity parameter and the target humidity range. In an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, step 504 includes steps 602 to 604.

[0134] Step 602: When the humidity parameter is less than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the duty cycle and working cycle of the heating device are both reduced.

[0135] Step 604: When the humidity parameter is greater than the upper limit of the target humidity range, the duty cycle and working cycle of the heating device are both increased.

[0136] Specifically, the power of the heating device can be determined based on the duty cycle and operating cycle. When the humidity parameter is less than the target humidity range, that is, when the humidity parameter is less than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the controller can control the heating power of the heating device to decrease, that is, control the duty cycle and operating cycle of the heating device to decrease. When the humidity parameter is greater than the target humidity range, that is, when the humidity parameter is greater than the upper limit of the target humidity range, the controller can control the heating power of the heating device to remain unchanged, maintaining the previous state of controlling the heating device based on the heating parameters.

[0137] Furthermore, when controlling the heating device based on humidity parameters, the controller can also switch the heating device between preset levels based on the numerical relationship between the humidity parameters and the target humidity range. The heating device has preset level settings, each corresponding to a different operating state. The first humidity level is a low humidity level, where the heating element operates at 50% duty cycle, with a cycle of 5 seconds every 10 seconds. The second humidity level is a high humidity level, where the heating element operates at 70% duty cycle, with a cycle of 7 seconds every 10 seconds. Therefore, when the humidity parameter is less than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the heating device is controlled to operate at the first humidity level; when the humidity parameter is greater than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the heating device is controlled to operate at the second humidity level.

[0138] In this embodiment, by adjusting the operation of the heating device according to the humidity parameter, it is equivalent to fine-tuning the heating device based on the humidity parameter after the controller has already adjusted the operation of the heating device according to the heating parameter. This helps to control the amount of steam while ensuring the accuracy of the cooking process, keeping the water vapor concentration within a certain range, reducing the generation of water in the steam oven, and improving the reliability of the steam oven.

[0139] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, step 208 includes steps 702 to 706.

[0140] Step 702: Confirm the target humidity range based on the target cooking program.

[0141] While controlling the heating device, the controller can also control the steam generator based on humidity parameters. Specifically, the controller determines the target humidity range based on the target cooking program. According to the cooking process defined in the currently determined target cooking program, the controller calls upon the humidity requirements during the cooking process, that is, sets the humidity value as the target humidity range. This target humidity range indicates that the food needs to be kept within this target humidity range during the cooking process of the corresponding target cooking program.

[0142] Furthermore, the required humidity level during cooking may vary significantly, meaning different humidity levels can be set at different cooking times. In this case, the controller can determine a specific humidity level based on the current progress of the target cooking program, and then determine a target humidity range based on that set humidity level. For example, the target humidity range can be determined based on the type of food in the target cooking program, the cooking method in the target cooking program, or a combination of both. For example, the target humidity range can be a range of (85%, 95%).

[0143] Step 704: When the humidity parameter is less than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the duty cycle and working cycle of the steam generator are both increased.

[0144] Step 706: If the humidity parameter is greater than the upper limit of the target humidity range, reduce both the duty cycle and the working cycle of the steam generator.

[0145] Specifically, when controlling the steam generator, the controller can use the target humidity range as a reference range, analyze the deviation between the actual detected humidity parameters and the target humidity range, and adjust the operation of the steam generator accordingly based on the analysis results. Specifically, this can be done by adjusting the duty cycle and working cycle of the steam generator.

[0146] Furthermore, when the humidity parameter is less than the target humidity range (i.e., less than the lower limit of the target humidity range), the controller can increase the steam generation rate of the steam generator, that is, increase both the duty cycle and the working cycle of the steam generator to increase the steam output. When the humidity parameter is greater than the target humidity range (i.e., greater than the upper limit of the target humidity range), the controller can decrease the steam generation rate of the steam generator, that is, decrease both the duty cycle and the working cycle of the steam generator to reduce the steam output. When the humidity parameter is equal to the target humidity range (i.e., within the target humidity range), the controller can maintain the current power level of the steam generation rate of the steam generator.

[0147] Furthermore, when controlling the steam generator based on humidity parameters, the controller can also switch the steam generator between preset levels based on the numerical relationship between the humidity parameters and the target humidity range. The steam generator has preset level settings, each corresponding to a different operating state. The third humidity level is a low humidity level, where the heating element of the steam generator operates at 70% duty cycle, with a working cycle of 7 seconds every 10 seconds; the fourth humidity level is a high humidity level, where the heating element of the steam generator operates at 50% duty cycle, with a working cycle of 5 seconds every 10 seconds. Therefore, when the humidity parameter is less than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the steam generator is controlled to operate at the third humidity level; when the humidity parameter is greater than the lower limit of the target humidity range, the steam generator is controlled to operate at the fourth humidity level.

[0148] In this embodiment, by adjusting the operation of the steam generator according to the humidity parameter, it is equivalent to directly controlling the steam generation rate of the steam generator, thereby affecting the water vapor content and humidity inside the steam oven. This helps to control the water vapor concentration within a certain range while ensuring the accuracy of the cooking process through the heating device, reducing the generation of water inside the steam oven and improving the reliability of the steam oven.

[0149] Based on the same technical concept, this application also provides a control device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the control device 10 includes a detection device 11 and a controller 12. The detection device 11 is disposed on the steam oven 20, and both the detection device 11 and the steam oven 20 are connected to the controller 12. The detection device 11 can detect the usage process of the steam oven 20 and, depending on the type of detection device 11, collect parameters of different dimensions of the steam oven 20 during use. For example, if the detection device 11 includes a humidity sensor, it can collect the humidity parameters of the steam oven 20 and transmit these parameters to the controller 12. Optionally, the detection device 11 can include different types of devices such as a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and a timer to detect parameters of different dimensions of the steam oven 20. The controller 12 is used to control the steam oven 20 based on the control methods described in the above embodiments.

[0150] Furthermore, based on this, this application can also provide a steam-baking device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the steam oven includes a steam oven 20 and a control device 10. The control device 10 is connected to the steam oven 20 and can be installed inside or outside the steam oven 20. The steam oven 20 includes a housing 21, a steam generator 22, and a heating device 23. The steam generator 22, the heating device 23, and the control device 10 are all housed within the housing 21. The steam generator 22 and the heating device 23 are connected to the control device 10. For example, the heating device 23 can be a heating element.

[0151] Specifically, the oven body 21 is used to realize the steaming and baking functions of the steam oven 20, cooking the food. A steam generator 22 generates steam, and a heating device 23 maintains the temperature inside the steam oven 20. Together, they regulate the cooking environment within the oven body 21, allowing the food to be processed according to a set cooking process, ultimately resulting in cooked food. The steam generator 22 and heating device 23 are connected to the control device 10, specifically to the controller 12. Under the control of the controller 12, the operation of the steam generator 22 and heating device 23 can be adjusted. A detection device 11 of the control device 10 is located inside the oven body 21 of the steam oven 20. It detects changes within the oven body 21 during use and transmits the detected data to the controller 12. The controller 12 then adjusts the operation of the heating device 23 and the steam generator 22 based on this data.

[0152] Furthermore, the steam oven 20 may also include a processing chip. This processor is connected to the steam generator 22 and the heating element 23, and is used to control the heating element 23 and the steam generating pipe within the steam oven 20 to complete cooking when the steam oven 20 is not connected to the control device 10. The processing chip utilizes the controller 12 connected to the control device 10, enabling data interaction with the controller 12 and transferring control of the steam oven 20 to the controller 12. When the controller 12 needs to control the steam generator 22 and the heating element 23, the controller 12 sends the corresponding control command or signal to the processing chip, thereby enabling control of the steam generator 22 and the heating element 23.

[0153] Optionally, the detection device 11 may include different types of sensors such as temperature sensors and humidity sensors to detect different data inside the housing 21.

[0154] To better understand the above solution, a detailed explanation will be provided below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0155] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the steam oven is a steam oven, including a detection device, a controller, a housing, a steam generator, and a heating device. The heating device is a bottom heating element, and the detection device includes a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The controller can fine-tune the duty cycle of the bottom heating element and the steam generator through the humidity sensor, thereby maintaining a certain humidity inside the steam oven. Furthermore, the heating of the bottom heating element generates heat at the bottom of the steam oven, which converts condensate back into water vapor, thus achieving the purpose of draining excess water.

[0156] 1. Parameter settings for the steam-bake set meal

[0157] Based on the selected steam and bake set (target cooking program), its internal configuration includes the working cycle, duty cycle, and number of times of the steam generator during the cooking process (first stage), as well as the working duty cycle and cycle (each level) of the bottom heating element, and the related temperature and time determination (target temperature value and target time value).

[0158] 2. Method for draining residual water

[0159] Based on the steam-bake combination, choose one of the following two determination methods to control the bottom heating element.

[0160] 2.1 Temperature Determination Method

[0161] Temperature setting: Set a target temperature based on the type of food being cooked. For example, set it to 100℃ when steaming vegetables and 90℃ when steaming fish.

[0162] Heating control: During cooking, the bottom heating element is controlled to operate at a certain duty cycle to ensure a gradual increase in temperature. For example, in the initial stage, the bottom heating element operates at 70% duty cycle, working for 7 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0163] Temperature switching: Once the set target temperature is reached, the bottom heating element will switch to another duty cycle and period to maintain the temperature and reduce water accumulation at the bottom. For example, when the temperature reaches 100°C, the bottom heating element will adjust to a 50% duty cycle, operating for 5 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0164] After the temperature is switched, a humidity sensor is introduced to control the bottom heating element.

[0165] 2.2 Time-based determination method

[0166] Time setting: Set a target time based on the type of food being cooked. For example, set it to 15 minutes for steaming vegetables and 20 minutes for steaming fish.

[0167] Heating control: During cooking, the bottom heating element is controlled to operate at a certain duty cycle to ensure a gradual increase in temperature. For example, in the initial stage, the bottom heating element operates at 60% duty cycle, working for 6 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0168] Time switching: When the set target time is reached, the bottom heating element will switch to another duty cycle and period to maintain the temperature and reduce water accumulation at the bottom. For example, when the time reaches 15 minutes, the bottom heating element will adjust to a 40% duty cycle, working for 4 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0169] After the time switch, a humidity sensor is introduced to control the bottom heating element.

[0170] 3. Introduction of humidity sensors

[0171] Due to environmental and other factors, the amount of steam generated by the steam generator and the resulting humidity will vary, but the humidity required for the steam-grill combo is constant. Therefore, a humidity sensor is needed to ensure stable humidity inside the oven.

[0172] Data Acquisition: The humidity sensor collects humidity data (humidity parameters) in the cooking area inside the cabinet in real time and transmits the data to the controller.

[0173] Target humidity setting: Based on the type of food being cooked and the desired result (steam and bake set), set a target humidity range: (85%, 95%).

[0174] Humidity deviation calculation: Calculates the deviation between the current humidity and the target humidity range, which is used to fine-tune the working status of the steam generator and the bottom heating tube.

[0175] 3.1 Humidity-Controlled Steam Generator

[0176] High humidity: If the current humidity (humidity parameter) is higher than the target humidity range, reduce the duty cycle of the steam generator to reduce the amount of steam produced.

[0177] Adjust the duty cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 95%, reduce the duty cycle of the steam generator from 70% to 50%. Adjust the cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 95%, adjust the steam generator's cycle from working for 7 seconds every 10 seconds to working for 5 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0178] Low humidity: If the current humidity is below the target humidity range, increase the duty cycle of the steam generator to increase the amount of steam produced.

[0179] Adjust the duty cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 85%, increase the steam generator's duty cycle from 50% to 70%. Adjust the cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 85%, adjust the steam generator's cycle from working for 5 seconds every 10 seconds to working for 7 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0180] 3.2 Humidity control via bottom heating element reduces water accumulation at the bottom.

[0181] High humidity: If the current humidity is higher than the target humidity, increase the duty cycle of the bottom heating element to accelerate the evaporation of water accumulated at the bottom.

[0182] Adjust duty cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 95%, increase the duty cycle of the bottom heating element from 50% to 70%. Adjust cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 95%, adjust the working cycle of the bottom heating element from 5 seconds every 10 seconds to 7 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0183] Low humidity: If the current humidity is lower than the target humidity, reduce the duty cycle of the bottom heating element to reduce the evaporation of water at the bottom.

[0184] Adjust duty cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 85%, reduce the duty cycle of the bottom heating element from 70% to 50%. Adjust cycle: For example, when the current humidity is 85%, adjust the working cycle of the bottom heating element from 7 seconds every 10 seconds to 5 seconds every 10 seconds.

[0185] In this embodiment, control is achieved through inherent setting parameters and the introduction of a humidity sensor. By combining the selected target cooking program, the control of the heating device and the steam generator is determined separately, and the working mode of the heating element is dynamically adjusted to adapt to different cooking needs. This ensures the reliability of the cooking process in the steam oven, reduces the accumulation of moisture inside the steam oven, and helps improve the reliability of the steam oven.

Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders.

[0187] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a steam oven control device for implementing the steam oven control method described above. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more embodiments of the steam oven control device provided below can be found in the limitations of the steam oven control method described above, and will not be repeated here.
