[0076] refer to Figure 2 , in step S11, collecting a plurality of temperature detection points of a food thermometer relative to the food;

[0077] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be:

[0080] S113: defining a plurality of temperature detection points of the food thermometer relative to the food according to the detection area of ​​the food thermometer and the temperature difference range corresponding to the detection area of ​​the food thermometer.

[0082] Furthermore, the detection area of ​​the food thermometer is defined according to the insertion depth of the food thermometer and the detection range corresponding to the food thermometer, and the comparison of the insertion depth of the food thermometer and the detection range corresponding to the food thermometer is compatible, thereby introducing the detection area of ​​the food thermometer to control the detection area of ​​the food thermometer.

[0090] refer to Figure 4 , in step S13, defining a temperature variation curve of each temperature detection point based on the detected temperature of each temperature detection point;

[0091] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be:

[0092] S131: Freeze the detected temperature of each temperature detection point;

[0096] S135: Associating a temperature change coordinate system and a plurality of coordinate relationships at each temperature detection point;

[0097] S136: defining a temperature change curve of each temperature detection point according to the temperature change coordinate system and multiple coordinate relationships.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, the detected temperature of each temperature detection point is frozen. At the same time, at each temperature detection point, multiple detected temperatures of the temperature detection point within a preset time are collected, and multiple detected temperatures of the temperature detection point within the preset time are introduced, so that a corresponding coordinate relationship is constructed according to the multiple detected temperatures and the corresponding time points, and subsequent control is performed on the corresponding coordinate relationship.

[0099] Therefore, the temperature change system is collected, and a temperature change coordinate system is constructed in the temperature change system; in each temperature detection point, the temperature change coordinate system and multiple coordinate relationships are associated; the temperature change curve of each temperature detection point is defined according to the temperature change coordinate system and the multiple coordinate relationships, which is compatible with the temperature change coordinate system and the multiple coordinate relationships, realizes the multiple interactions of the temperature change coordinate system and the multiple coordinate relationships, and ensures the accuracy of the temperature change curve of each temperature detection point.

[0100] refer to Figure 5 , S14: constructing a temperature distribution map of the food based on the multiple temperature change curves and the types of food;

[0101] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be:

[0102] S141: Establish multiple temperature control locations based on the type of food and multiple temperature detection points;

[0103] S142: Associating multiple temperature control locations and multiple temperature change curves;

[0104] S143: matching based on the corresponding temperature detection points to match the temperature control part with the corresponding temperature change curve. At this time, the temperature change curve presents the temperature change of the temperature control part;

[0105] S144: constructing a temperature distribution diagram of the food based on the temperature control part, the corresponding temperature change curve and the type of food, and the temperature distribution diagram of the food changes in real time as the temperature of the temperature control part changes.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, multiple temperature detection points of a food thermometer relative to the food are collected; real-time temperature monitoring of the food is triggered based on the multiple temperature detection points, and the detection temperatures corresponding to the multiple temperature detection points are recorded; the temperature change curve of each temperature detection point is defined based on the detection temperature of each temperature detection point; a temperature distribution map of the food is constructed based on the multiple temperature change curves and the types of food, which is compatible with the overall consideration of multiple temperature change curves and the types of food, realizes multi-dimensional control of multiple temperature change curves and the types of food, and ensures the accuracy of the temperature distribution map.

[0107] At this time, multiple temperature control parts are constructed based on the type of food and multiple temperature detection points; multiple temperature control parts and multiple temperature change curves are associated, and multiple temperature control parts and multiple temperature change curves are introduced, so as to match the temperature control parts with the corresponding temperature change curves based on the corresponding temperature detection points. At this time, the temperature change curve presents the temperature change of the temperature control parts.

[0108] Therefore, a temperature distribution map of the food is constructed based on the temperature control part, the corresponding temperature change curve and the type of food. The temperature distribution map of the food changes in real time as the temperature of the temperature control part changes. It is compatible with the overall consideration of multiple temperature change curves and food types, and realizes multi-dimensional control of multiple temperature change curves and food types, ensuring the accuracy of the temperature distribution map.

[0109] refer to Figure 6 , S15: Calculating the remaining cooking time of the food according to the temperature distribution diagram of the food;

[0110] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be:

[0111] S151: Collecting temperature distribution diagram of food;

[0112] S152: defining the temperature difference of each temperature detection point based on the temperature distribution diagram of the food and the preset temperature;

[0113] S153: defining the remaining cooking time of the food according to the temperature difference of each temperature detection point and a preset temperature difference logic;

[0114] S154: Matching the remaining cooking time of each part of the food based on the remaining cooking time of the food and the real-time temperature of each part of the food.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, a temperature distribution map of the food is collected and introduced, and the temperature distribution map of the food is further processed. At the same time, the temperature difference of each temperature detection point is defined based on the temperature distribution map of the food and the preset temperature, which is compatible with the overall consideration of the temperature distribution map of the food and the preset temperature, thereby achieving multi-dimensional control of the temperature distribution map of the food and the preset temperature, and ensuring the accuracy of the temperature difference of each temperature detection point.

[0116] Therefore, the temperature difference of each temperature detection point is introduced, and the remaining cooking time of the food is defined according to the temperature difference of each temperature detection point and the preset temperature difference logic. This is compatible with the overall consideration of the temperature difference of each temperature detection point and the preset temperature difference logic, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the remaining cooking time of the food.

[0117] In addition, the remaining cooking time of each part of the food is matched based on the remaining cooking time of the food and the real-time temperature of each part of the food, so that the remaining cooking time of each part of the food is extended based on the remaining cooking time of the food, thereby introducing the remaining cooking time of each part of the food and realizing targeted temperature control of each part.

[0118] refer to Figure 7 , S16: triggering the cooking control logic of the food according to the remaining cooking time of the food, and dynamically controlling the cooking instructions of each part of the food based on the cooking control logic;

[0119] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be:

[0120] S161: freeze the remaining cooking time of food;

[0121] S162: Collecting the remaining cooking time to match the corresponding cooking plan;

[0122] S163: Constructing food cooking control information according to the cooking plan of each part;

[0123] S164: matching the cooking control logic of the corresponding food based on the cooking control information of the food, and triggering the cooking control logic of the food;

[0124] S165: in the cooking control logic of the food, updating the cooking instructions based on further cooking of the food;

[0125] S166: Triggering dynamic changes in the food based on changes in the cooking instructions until the food reaches a well-cooked state.

[0126] In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the remaining cooking time of the food is calculated according to the temperature distribution diagram of the food; the cooking control logic of the food is triggered according to the remaining cooking time of the food, and the cooking instructions of each part of the food are dynamically controlled based on the cooking control logic. The temperature distribution diagram of the food is fully utilized for cooking control, so as to calculate the remaining cooking time of the food, ensure the accuracy of the remaining cooking time of the food, and thus realize the temperature control of the food by the food thermometer and the intelligent cooking of the food.

[0127] At this time, the remaining cooking time of the food is frozen; the remaining cooking time is collected to match the corresponding cooking plan; the cooking control information of the food is constructed according to the cooking plan of each part, the cooking control information of the food is introduced, and the temperature is controlled along the cooking control information of the food.

[0128] Therefore, the cooking control logic of the corresponding food is matched based on the cooking control information of the food, and the cooking control logic of the food is triggered, so that targeted management and control is performed on the cooking control logic of the food.

[0129] Furthermore, in the food cooking control logic, the cooking instructions are updated based on the further cooking of the food; the dynamic changes of the food are triggered based on the changes in the cooking instructions until the food reaches a well-cooked state. At the same time, the temperature distribution map of the food is fully utilized for cooking control, so as to calculate the remaining cooking time of the food, ensure the accuracy of the remaining cooking time of the food, and thus realize the temperature control of the food by the food thermometer and the intelligent cooking of the food.

[0130] In addition, the base of the food thermometer is connected to the temperature probe (data receiving module), which can receive real-time temperature data from three or more food sensors, identify the slowest heating point, and estimate the remaining cooking time required to reach the preset recipe temperature based on the temperature of the slowest heating point; and the food thermometer can also calculate the temperature difference between these three or more sensors. If the temperature difference is detected to exceed the threshold set by the food thermometer (depending on the high or low ambient temperature, the food thermometer will preset the temperature range that will decrease every 1 cm of the food, such as 2-5°C at high temperature and 5-10°C at low temperature), the food thermometer will send a warning signal to the user, reminding that the temperature difference between the skin layer, shallow layer and center of the meat is too large, and there may be a risk of overcooking on the outside but not on the inside. These functions make the barbecue process more precise and efficient, ensuring that each barbecue can achieve the best taste, flavor and safety.

[0131] Specifically, the real-time temperature changes of different parts of the food are continuously monitored through the three or more temperature sensors designed, and the slowest heating point in the real-time temperature is identified through the obtained temperature data. Based on the current temperature change trend, the remaining cooking time required to reach the preset menu temperature is estimated through the heat transfer algorithm. (For example, if the current internal temperature of the food is 30°C and the preset cooked temperature of the meat is 70°C, then the food thermometer will estimate how long it will take to heat from 30°C to 70°C according to the change trend of the ambient temperature)

[0132] The algorithm of the food thermometer will dynamically adjust according to the change of the position of the slowest heating point of the food. For example, the original point 2 is the slowest heating point, but after the customer turns the food or the position of the heat source changes, the slowest heating point changes to point 3. At this time, the food thermometer will continue to estimate the remaining cooking time according to the temperature change of point 3. And the algorithm model will self-correct through the data of the ambient temperature and the slowest heating point continuously obtained during the cooking process, and continuously analyze the temperature change trend to improve the accuracy of predicting the remaining cooking time. This feature can also be applied to the early warning function of recipes. Users can leave time to make sauces or prep before finishing cooking to enjoy the best doneness and taste of the food.

[0133] Furthermore, three or more temperature sensors can monitor the internal temperature of multiple parts of the food at the same time, and calculate the temperature difference of the multi-point temperature data through the thermometer. If the probe detects that the temperature change exceeds the preset range, the system will immediately feedback the need to adjust the cooking parameters, such as the power of the heat source, the distance between the meat and the heat source, or the cooking time, to ensure the stability of the cooking process. This helps to ensure that each part reaches the ideal cooking temperature and avoids overcooking or undercooking some parts.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present invention, through the method in the embodiment of the present invention, multiple temperature detection points of the food thermometer relative to the food are collected; the real-time temperature monitoring of the food is triggered based on the multiple temperature detection points, and the detection temperatures corresponding to the multiple temperature detection points are recorded; the temperature change curve of each temperature detection point is defined based on the detection temperature of each temperature detection point; a temperature distribution map of the food is constructed based on the multiple temperature change curves and the type of food, which is compatible with the overall consideration of multiple temperature change curves and the types of food, realizes multi-dimensional control of multiple temperature change curves and the types of food, and ensures the accuracy of the temperature distribution map.

[0135] Furthermore, the remaining cooking time of the food is calculated according to the temperature distribution diagram of the food; the cooking control logic of the food is triggered according to the remaining cooking time of the food, and the cooking instructions of each part of the food are dynamically controlled based on the cooking control logic. The temperature distribution diagram of the food is fully utilized for cooking control, so as to calculate the remaining cooking time of the food, ensure the accuracy of the remaining cooking time of the food, and thus realize the temperature control of the food by the food thermometer and the intelligent cooking of the food.
