Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and particularly to an intelligent temperature control and humidity adjustment device for a multifunctional Chinese steam box. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living quality, the requirements for the functions and performance of kitchen cooking equipment are also getting higher and higher. In Chinese cooking, steaming food is favored because it can retain the nutrition and original flavor of the food. In terms of temperature control in traditional steam boxes, the temperature often fluctuates greatly, and it is difficult to accurately reach and maintain the precise temperature required by specific ingredients, resulting in poor taste of the food. For example, when steaming tender fish, too high a temperature will easily make the fish meat become old and dry, and too low a temperature will not allow it to be cooked through. In terms of humidity adjustment, there are no effective adjustment means, and it cannot provide a suitable humidity environment according to the characteristics of different foods. When steaming pasta, insufficient humidity will cause the surface of the pasta to crack, and too much humidity will make the pasta too sticky. Moreover, the temperature control and humidity adjustment of existing steam boxes are mostly manual operations, which are cumbersome and difficult to meet the needs of people for convenient and intelligent cooking in modern fast-paced life.

[0048] In the specific use of this embodiment,
[0049] Installation and initialization: First, install the temperature sensor group 27 and the humidity sensor group 7 at the designed positions inside the steamer main body 1 to ensure firm installation and accurate perception of environmental parameters. Connect the wires between each sensor and the control module, and then install the heating element, water vapor generating device, drainage device, ventilation device, etc., and connect the corresponding pipelines and circuits. Assemble and debug the steamer as a whole to ensure that each component works normally. When the user uses it for the first time, perform system initialization settings through the human-machine interface, such as setting basic parameters such as language and unit. At the same time, the system automatically reads the initial data of each sensor and performs calibration;
[0050] Cooking operation: The user selects the type of food to be steamed through the touch operation screen 14. The system automatically recommends appropriate temperature, time, and humidity parameters according to the preset database. The user can also manually adjust according to actual needs. After setting is completed, the user clicks the "Start" button, and the steamer starts to work. The temperature sensor group 27 monitors the temperature inside the steamer main body 1 in real time. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the main control chip 11 controls the heating element 6 to start, and the power adjustment device adjusts the heating power according to the temperature deviation to make the temperature rise rapidly. When the temperature approaches the set value, the main control chip 11 controls to reduce the heating power for fine temperature adjustment until the temperature stabilizes at the set value. The humidity sensor group 7 monitors the humidity in real time. When the humidity is too low, the main control chip 11 controls to start the micro water pump 19 to transport the water in the water tank 16 to the water vapor generator 20, and the water vapor generator 20 generates steam and injects it into the steamer main body 1 to increase the humidity. When the humidity is too high, the main control chip 11 controls to open the electric valve of the drainage device to drain the excess condensate water. At the same time, the electric fan 22 of the ventilation module 9 is started to discharge the humid air to reduce the humidity. During the cooking process, the user can view information such as the temperature, humidity, and remaining time inside the steamer at any time through the touch operation screen 14. If parameter adjustment is needed, it can also be directly operated on the touch display screen;
[0051] Cooking Completion and Subsequent Processing: When the steaming time ends, the main body 1 of the steamer emits a prompt sound, and at the same time, sends a cooking completion reminder to the user's mobile phone through the wireless communication chip 12. When the user opens the steamer and takes out the food, the steamer automatically enters the standby state. The main control chip 11 records the relevant data of this cooking and stores it in the data storage unit within the main control chip 11. The user can view the historical cooking records during subsequent operations, regularly clean and maintain the steamer, check the working status of each component, ensure that the steamer is always in good operating condition, and continuously provide high-quality cooking services for the user.
[0052] Embodiment 1
[0053] Intelligent Steaming Solution Based on Ingredient Recognition: Scenario: The user uses the steamer to steam a perch. The user selects the "fish" cooking mode through the touch operation screen 14. The system automatically retrieves the preset steaming parameters for perch: temperature 95°C, humidity 85%RH, and time 12 minutes. The temperature sensor group 27 continuously monitors the temperature inside the steamer. The main control chip 11 dynamically adjusts the power of the bottom and side heating elements 6 through the power adjustment device to ensure that the temperature is stable within the range of 95°C ± 1°C. When the humidity sensor group 7 detects that the humidity is lower than 85%RH, the main control chip 11 starts the micro water pump 19 to transport the water in the external water tank 16 to the steam generator 20 to quickly generate steam to supplement the humidity. After steaming is completed, the main control chip 11 sends a reminder to the user's mobile phone through the wireless communication chip 12. The user can view the temperature curve and humidity data of this steaming through the APP. The system automatically stores this data in the historical record to optimize the parameter recommendation for subsequent fish steaming. Advantage: By combining the preset exclusive parameters for ingredients with real-time monitoring, it ensures that the fish is steamed tender and juicy, avoiding the problems of overcooking or undercooking.
[0054] Embodiment 2
[0055] Remote control and personalized cooking optimization: Scenario: The user remotely starts the steam oven via the mobile APP on the way home from work, steams rice and customizes the texture. The user selects the "rice" cooking mode through the mobile APP and adjusts the humidity preference (such as "soft" or "Q elastic") on the APP. After the steam oven receives the instruction, the main control chip 11 adjusts the working frequency of the water vapor generator 20 according to the humidity parameter selected by the user. For example, when selecting the "soft" texture, the system increases the steam volume and maintains a relatively high humidity (90% RH). When selecting the "Q elastic" texture, the steam volume is reduced and the humidity is controlled at about 75% RH. The temperature sensor group 27 continuously feedbacks the temperature inside the steam oven. The main control chip 11 precisely adjusts the heating power through the PID algorithm to ensure that the rice is steamed at a constant temperature of 100°C. During the steaming process, the user can view the temperature, humidity, and remaining time inside the steam oven in real time through the APP. The system records the personalized parameters of this cooking and automatically recommends the user's preferred mode when steaming rice next time. Advantage: It realizes remote control and personalized cooking, improving user convenience and experience satisfaction.
[0056] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of various changes or substitutions, and these should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
