[0002] With the development of science and technology, cooking utensils and their heating methods are becoming more and more diversified and intelligent, which brings more choices and convenience to people's lives and improves people's quality of life. In daily life, people like dried fruits and vegetables very much, and dried fruits and vegetables and preserved fruit products occupy a large market share in the food market. As a result, some oven-type cooking utensils with fruit and vegetable drying functions have appeared, and professional fruit drying machines have also appeared, which improves the efficiency of food drying compared to the traditional natural air drying method and avoids uncertain weather factors.

[0003] However, it is difficult to control the quality of drying equipment on the market, and it is difficult to ensure that the dried products have the best moisture content. If the product is not completely dried and has a high moisture content, it is easy to mold and spoil; if the product is over-dried, it will cause charring and deterioration, affecting its nutritional value and taste. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a control method, device, computer equipment and storage medium for ohmic drying equipment to solve the problem that the quality control of drying equipment is difficult and it is difficult to ensure that the dried products reach the optimal moisture content.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for an ohmic drying device, comprising:

[0006] Determine the type of food to be dried;

[0007] Start ohmic heating;

[0008] obtaining an ohmic heating current flowing through the food;

[0009] When the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food, the ohmic heating is stopped.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The target current corresponding to the food is the ohmic heating current that passes through the food when it reaches the optimal moisture content during the ohmic heating process. The moisture content of the food is controlled according to the corresponding relationship between the ohmic heating current and the moisture content of the food, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately controlling the moisture content of the dried product, achieving the ideal degree of drying, and improving the quality of food drying. In addition, the ohmic heating drying efficiency is high, which improves the production efficiency of the drying equipment.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, determining the type of food to be dried includes:

[0012] Acquiring image information of the food;

[0013] The type of the food is determined according to the image information.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The type of food can be determined based on the acquired image information without manual input and selection, and the degree of intelligence is high.

[0015] In an optional implementation, before the control starts the ohmic heating, it also includes:

[0016] Retrieve the optimal moisture content database for dried foods.

[0017] Beneficial effect: A database of optimal moisture content of dried food is constructed, and the optimal moisture content database is directly retrieved after the type of food is determined before ohmic heating, which is used as a basis for controlling the ohmic heating process.

[0018] In an optional implementation, before the control starts the ohmic heating, it also includes:

[0019] Retrieving a database of the relationship between the moisture content of food and the ohmic heating current;

[0020] The target current is determined according to the optimal moisture content of the food.

[0021] Beneficial effect: A database of the relationship between the moisture content of food and the ohmic heating current is constructed. After determining the optimal moisture content of the food, the target current is determined by retrieving the database of the relationship between the moisture content of food and the ohmic heating current. Then, the heating stop node is precisely controlled by monitoring the ohmic heating current passing through the food to ensure the drying quality of the food and avoid insufficient drying time or over-drying.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the ohmic drying equipment includes a humidity regulating device, and the control method further includes:

[0023] Obtaining the ambient humidity of the heating chamber where the food is located during the ohmic heating process;

[0024] When the ambient humidity is not equal to the preset humidity, the humidity regulating device is started to work until the ambient humidity is equal to the preset humidity.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The environmental humidity during the food drying process also has a certain influence on the drying quality. By monitoring the environmental humidity of the heating chamber and further optimizing the drying process, it can be ensured that the humidity of the environment in which the food is located is at an appropriate humidity at different stages of drying, thereby further improving the drying quality.

[0027] Beneficial effects: the preset initial humidity > the preset mid-term humidity > the preset final humidity is met, so that in the early stage of drying, higher humidity helps to quickly remove moisture from the surface of food, prevents the outer layer from drying quickly and forming a hard shell, and hinders the discharge of internal moisture; as the drying process proceeds, in the middle stage of drying, the humidity is gradually reduced to ensure that moisture continues to migrate from the inside of the food to the outside; at the end of drying, a low humidity is maintained to ensure that fruits and vegetables are completely dried to avoid residual moisture causing mildew or corruption, thereby ensuring an ideal drying effect at each stage of drying and improving the drying quality.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the humidity regulating device further comprises a ventilation device, and when the ambient humidity is greater than a preset humidity, the ventilation device is started for ventilation until the ambient humidity is equal to the preset humidity.

[0029] Beneficial effect: The ventilation device can transport the air containing a large amount of water vapor in the heating chamber to the outside, thereby quickly adjusting the humidity of the air in the heating chamber, making the humidity of the drying environment at an appropriate humidity level, and improving the drying effect and quality.

[0034] Beneficial effects: The type of food to be dried is determined by the determination module, and the ohmic heating current flowing through the food is obtained by the acquisition module after the control module starts the ohmic heating. When the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the optimal moisture content of the food, the control module controls to stop the ohmic heating, thereby stopping the heating when the food reaches the optimal moisture content, thereby ensuring the drying quality of the food.

[0035] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides a computer device, comprising:

[0036] A memory and a processor, wherein the memory and the processor are communicatively connected to each other, the memory stores computer instructions, and the processor executes the control method of the ohmic drying device of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof by executing the computer instructions.

[0037] Beneficial effect: The processor of the computer device executes the computer instructions stored in the memory, thereby executing the control method of the ohmic drying device of the present invention, so that according to the corresponding relationship between the moisture content of the food and the ohmic heating current of the food, the ohmic heating process is stopped when the ohmic heating current reaches the target current, thereby ensuring the drying quality of the food, preventing incomplete drying or excessive drying, and improving user satisfaction.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, Figure 1As shown, a control method for an ohmic drying device is provided, comprising:

[0054] S101, determining the type of food to be dried;

[0055] S102, start ohmic heating;

[0056] S103, obtaining an ohmic heating current flowing through the food;

[0057] S104, determining whether the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food;

[0058] S105. When the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food, stop ohmic heating.

[0059] The target current corresponding to the food is the ohmic heating current that passes through the food when it reaches the optimal moisture content during the ohmic heating process. The moisture content of the food is controlled according to the corresponding relationship between the ohmic heating current and the moisture content of the food, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately controlling the moisture content of the dried product, achieving the ideal degree of drying, and improving the quality of food drying. In addition, the ohmic heating drying efficiency is high, which improves the production efficiency of the drying equipment.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the control method includes:

[0061] S100, obtaining image information of the food;

[0062] S101, determining the type of food to be dried;

[0063] S102, start ohmic heating;

[0064] S103, obtaining an ohmic heating current flowing through the food;

[0065] S104, determining whether the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food;

[0066] S105. When the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food, stop ohmic heating.

[0067] The type of food is determined based on the acquired image information without the need for manual input and selection, and the level of intelligence is high.

[0068] Of course, in some other embodiments, the food type can be directly input into the panel to simplify the judgment process.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, before the control starts the ohmic heating, it also includes:

[0070] S1001, retrieve a database of optimal moisture content of dried food and a database of the relationship between moisture content and ohmic heating current;

[0071] S1002: Determine the target current according to the optimal moisture content of the food.

[0072] A database of optimal moisture content for dried food and a database of the relationship between moisture content and ohmic heating current of food are constructed. After determining the optimal moisture content of the food, the target current is determined by retrieving the database of the relationship between moisture content and ohmic heating current of food. Then, the heating stop node is precisely controlled by monitoring the ohmic heating current passing through the food to ensure the drying quality of the food and avoid insufficient drying time or over-drying.

[0073] In some embodiments, the ohmic drying apparatus includes a humidity regulating device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control method includes:

[0074] S100, obtaining image information of the food;

[0075] S1001, retrieve a database of optimal moisture content of dried food and a database of the relationship between moisture content and ohmic heating current;

[0076] S1002, determining the target current according to the optimal moisture content of the food;

[0077] S101, determining the type of food to be dried;

[0078] S102, start ohmic heating;

[0079] S1021, obtaining the ambient humidity of the heating chamber where the food is located during the ohmic heating process;

[0080] S1022, determining whether the ambient humidity is equal to a preset humidity;

[0081] S1023, when the ambient humidity is not equal to the preset humidity, starting the humidity adjustment device to work until the ambient humidity is equal to the preset humidity;

[0082] S103, obtaining an ohmic heating current flowing through the food;

[0083] S104, determining whether the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food;

[0084] S105. When the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food, stop ohmic heating.

[0085] The ambient humidity during the food drying process also has a certain impact on the drying quality. By monitoring the ambient humidity of the heating chamber and further optimizing the drying process, it can be ensured that the humidity of the food environment is at an appropriate level at different stages of drying, thereby further improving the drying quality.

[0086] In some embodiments, the ohmic heating process includes an initial drying stage, a middle drying stage, and a final drying stage; the preset humidity in the initial drying stage is a preset initial humidity, the preset humidity in the middle drying stage is a preset middle humidity, the preset humidity in the final drying stage is a preset final humidity, and the preset initial humidity > preset middle humidity > preset final humidity.

[0087] The preset initial humidity > preset mid-term humidity > preset final humidity is met, so that in the initial stage of drying, higher humidity helps to quickly remove moisture from the surface of food, prevents the outer layer from drying quickly and forming a hard shell, and hinders the discharge of internal moisture; as the drying process proceeds, in the mid-term of drying, the humidity is gradually reduced to ensure that moisture continues to migrate from the inside of the food to the outside; at the end of drying, maintain a low humidity to ensure that fruits and vegetables are completely dried to avoid residual moisture causing mildew or corruption, thereby ensuring an ideal drying effect at each stage of drying and improving the drying quality.

[0088] In some embodiments, the humidity regulating device further comprises a ventilation device, and when the ambient humidity is greater than a preset humidity, the ventilation device is started to ventilate until the ambient humidity is equal to the preset humidity.

[0089] The ventilation device can transport the air containing a large amount of water vapor in the heating chamber to the outside, so as to quickly adjust the humidity of the air in the heating chamber, make the humidity of the drying environment at an appropriate humidity level, and improve the drying effect and quality.

[0090] In some embodiments, the ohmic drying device is an ohmic heating device for making dried fruits and vegetables, including a controller and an image acquisition device, an ohmic heating device, a current device, a humidity adjustment device and a storage system connected to the controller. Among them:

[0091] The controller is used to analyze and match the data collected by each device and system and connect each module;

[0092] An image acquisition device is used to acquire the color, shape, and state of food and identify the type of food it belongs to;

[0093] A heating device for heat transfer and drying using ohmic heating technology;

[0094] A current device for collecting the current passing through the food during the ohmic heating process and feeding it back to the controller;

[0095] A humidity regulating device is used to detect and regulate the humidity in the heating chamber inside the drying equipment; the humidity regulating device includes a ventilation device, which can evaporate the internal moisture in time and replace it with dry air;

[0096] A storage system is used to store data of the ohmic heating device and data of the food drying process.

[0097] The specific operation process of the control method of the ohmic heating equipment for making dried fruits and vegetables is as follows:

[0098] The ohmic heating device is turned on, and the user puts food in. The image acquisition device collects the color, shape, and state of the food, and automatically turns on the ohmic heating after determining the type of food. The ohmic heating current passes through the food, quickly evaporating the moisture inside the food. The humidity adjustment device detects and adjusts the humidity of the internal space of the device, and at the same time opens the ventilation device to discharge the moisture and replace it with dry air. As the moisture inside the food evaporates, the current gradually decreases, and the current device feeds back the detected current to the control system. When the control system determines and analyzes the matching data and confirms that the target current has been reached, cooking ends.

[0099] It should be noted that the humidity regulating device uses condensation dehumidification to adjust the humidity in the heating chamber of the equipment, and a dehumidifier can be used specifically. The dehumidifier draws the humid air in the heating chamber into the machine through a fan. The air entering the dehumidifier passes through a refrigeration system, which includes a condenser and an evaporator. When the air passes through the condenser, the temperature drops, and the moisture in the air condenses into water droplets, which are collected in the water tank at the bottom of the machine or discharged through a drain pipe. The dry air after dehumidification is sent back to the heating chamber by the fan.

[0100] The following is an explanation using the production process of dried apples as an example. First, turn on the ohmic heating device, and the user puts in apple slices. The image acquisition device collects the color, shape, and state of the food, and automatically turns on the ohmic heating after determining that the food is apple slices. The ohmic heating current passes through the apple slices, quickly evaporating the moisture inside the apple slices. The humidity adjustment device detects and adjusts the humidity of the internal space of the equipment to maintain the humidity at 40%. At the same time, the ventilation device is turned on to discharge excess moisture and replace it with dry air. As the moisture inside the food evaporates, the current gradually decreases, and the current device feeds the detected current back to the controller. For the relationship between the ohmic heating current and moisture content of dried apples, see Figure 5 The optimal moisture content of dried apples is 6%, and the corresponding ohmic heating current is 0.2A. When the controller judges and analyzes the matching data and confirms that the ohmic heating current reaches the target current of 0.2A, cooking is ended.

[0101] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a control device for an ohmic drying device is also provided. Figure 6As shown, the device comprises:

[0102] A determination module, used to determine the type of food to be dried;

[0103] an acquisition module, used for acquiring the ohmic heating current flowing through the food;

[0104] The control module is used to start ohmic heating and stop ohmic heating when the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the food.

[0105] The type of food to be dried is determined by the determination module. After the control module starts the ohmic heating, the ohmic heating current flowing through the food is obtained by the acquisition module. When the ohmic heating current is equal to the target current corresponding to the optimal moisture content of the food, the control module controls to stop the ohmic heating. When the food reaches the optimal moisture content, the heating is stopped to ensure the drying quality of the food.

[0106] The control device of the ohmic drying equipment in this embodiment is presented in the form of a functional unit, where the unit refers to an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) circuit, a processor and memory that executes one or more software or fixed programs, and / or other devices that can provide the above functions.
