Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, and more particularly, to a control method, device, readable storage medium, and cooking appliance for a cooking appliance. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, when using a high-power electric pressure cooker to cook rice, there is a problem of uneven heating, which causes different degrees of boiling in different areas of the rice during the cooking process, resulting in sunken areas in the cooked rice, and the rice in the sunken areas has a higher humidity and a poorer taste. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present application proposes a control method for a cooking appliance, including: during the operation of the heating component of the cooking appliance, obtaining a first temperature value; based on the first temperature value being greater than a first temperature threshold, controlling the exhaust component and the heating component of the cooking appliance to operate alternately; based on the exhaust times of the exhaust component reaching a preset number of times, controlling the heating component of the cooking appliance to operate continuously.

[0005] A second aspect of the present application proposes a control device for a cooking appliance.

[0006] A third aspect of the present application proposes a control device for a cooking appliance.

[0007] A fourth aspect of the present application proposes a readable storage medium.

[0008] A fifth aspect of the present application proposes a cooking appliance.

[0009] In view of this, according to a first aspect of the present application, a control method for a cooking appliance is proposed, including: during the operation of the heating component of the cooking appliance, obtaining a first temperature value; based on the first temperature value being greater than a first temperature threshold, controlling the exhaust component and the heating component of the cooking appliance to operate alternately; based on the exhaust times of the exhaust component reaching a preset number of times, controlling the heating component of the cooking appliance to operate continuously.

[0010] In the technical solution of the present application, when the cooking appliance is an electric rice cooker and is in the process of cooking rice, when it is detected that the first temperature value is greater than the first temperature threshold, it is determined that the water in the electric rice cooker is close to being absorbed by the rice. At this time, the exhaust component and the heating component of the cooking appliance are controlled to operate alternately, so that after the cooking appliance exhausts for a period of time, it is heated again, and after heating for a period of time, the exhaust is continued, and the cooking appliance is controlled to operate alternately between exhaust and heating.

[0011] It should be noted that when different temperature values are selected for the first temperature value, corresponding different first temperature thresholds are used, and the first temperature threshold is obtained through previous experiments, that is, when the first temperature value is greater than the first temperature threshold, it is determined that the water in the cooking appliance is close to being absorbed by the rice.

[0012] In the technical solution of this application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, the cooking device counts the number of exhausts of the exhaust component. When the number of exhausts of the exhaust component reaches a preset number, it is determined that the water in the cooking device has been absorbed by the rice and the surface of the cooked rice has been shaped. At this time, the heating component is controlled to continuously heat until the rice is cooked.

[0013] In the technical solution of this application, during the process of the cooking device cooking rice, based on the numerical relationship between the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold, it is possible to determine whether the moisture in the cooking cavity is close to being absorbed by the rice. When it is determined that the moisture is close to being absorbed by the rice, the heating component and the exhaust component are controlled to operate alternately, so that the cooking device can be periodically turned on, and the gas in the cooking cavity is discharged by using the pressure in the cooking device to make the rice tend to be flat. Moreover, the moisture in the rice after exhaust is almost absorbed, and the rice will not continue to boil, making the rice heated relatively evenly during the cooking process, reducing the sunken area of the cooked rice while improving the taste of the rice.

[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, controlling the exhaust component and the heating component of the cooking device to operate alternately includes: controlling the exhaust component to operate until the first operation duration of the exhaust component reaches the first preset duration; controlling the heating component to operate until the second operation duration of the heating component reaches the second preset duration; repeating the above steps until the number of exhausts reaches the preset number.

[0015] In the technical solution of this application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, based on the first operation duration of the exhaust component and the second operation duration of the heating component, the switching of the operating states of the exhaust component and the heating component is controlled to ensure that both the exhaust component and the heating component have sufficient operation duration during the alternating operation, ensuring the exhaust effect while also ensuring the heating effect during the cooking process.

[0016] In this technical solution, during the alternating operation, when the exhaust component operates, the first operation duration of the exhaust component is timed. After the timing reaches the first preset duration, the heating component is controlled to operate, and the second operation duration of the heating component is timed. After the timing reaches the second preset duration, the step of controlling the exhaust component to operate is returned, and at the same time, the number of exhausts of the exhaust component is counted. When the number of exhausts reaches the preset number, it is determined that the exhaust in the cooking stage has been completed, and the step of controlling the exhaust component and the heating component to operate alternately is stopped.

[0017] In the technical solution of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, by timing the first operation duration and the second operation duration, the exhaust frequency of the exhaust assembly during alternating operation and the control accuracy of the heating duration of the heating assembly can be improved, ensuring sufficient exhaust of the cooking cavity to reduce the appearance of depressions on the rice surface, and ensuring sufficient heating of the heating assembly to improve the exhaust efficiency and cooking effect.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the value range of the first preset duration is from 70 seconds to 300 seconds; and / or the value range of the second preset duration is from 30 seconds to 200 seconds.

[0019] In the technical solution of the present application, by setting the value range of the first preset duration and controlling the first operation duration of the exhaust assembly between 70 seconds and 300 seconds, it can ensure that the exhaust assembly has sufficient exhaust time to discharge the gas in the cooking cavity, and at the same time avoid the deterioration of the cooking effect caused by excessive exhaust time. By setting the value range of the second preset duration and controlling the second operation duration of the heating assembly between 30 seconds and 200 seconds, it can ensure that the heating assembly has sufficient heating time to heat the cooking cavity during the exhaust stage, promoting the conversion of water in the cooking cavity into gas and discharged, and at the same time avoid the deterioration of the cooking effect caused by excessive heating time of the heating assembly.

[0020] In the technical solution of the present application, by restricting the value range of the first preset duration and / or the second preset duration, the exhaust efficiency and cooking effect can be improved.

[0021] In some technical solutions, optionally, controlling the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly of the cooking device includes: obtaining the second temperature value of the cooking device; controlling the exhaust assembly to operate until the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold; controlling the heating assembly to operate until the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, where the third temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold; repeating the above steps until the exhaust frequency reaches the preset frequency.

[0022] In the technical solution of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, based on the second temperature value, the switching of the operating states of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly is controlled, ensuring that during the alternating operation, the exhaust assembly conducts sufficient exhaust and the heating assembly conducts sufficient heating, guaranteeing the exhaust effect while also guaranteeing the heating effect during the cooking process.

[0023] In this technical solution, during the alternating operation, the second temperature value of the cooking device is continuously obtained. During the operation of the exhaust assembly, when it is detected that the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively low at this time, and heating is required to continue to improve the exhaust efficiency. At this time, the heating assembly is controlled to operate. During the operation of the heating assembly, when it is detected that the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively high at this time, and the water in the cooking cavity has been fully converted into gas. Then, the step of controlling the operation of the exhaust assembly is returned to, and at the same time, the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly are counted. When the exhaust times reach the preset number, it is determined that the exhaust in the cooking stage has been completed, and then the step of controlling the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly is stopped.

[0024] In the technical solution of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, by obtaining the second temperature value of the cooking device and controlling the alternating process of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly based on the numerical relationship between the second temperature value and the second temperature threshold and the third temperature threshold, the accuracy of controlling the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly during the alternating operation and the heating duration of the heating assembly can be improved, ensuring sufficient exhaust of the cooking cavity to reduce the appearance of depressions on the rice surface, and ensuring sufficient heating of the heating assembly to improve the exhaust efficiency and the cooking effect.

[0025] In some technical solutions, optionally, the second temperature value includes: the first steam temperature value of the cooking device.

[0026] In the technical solution of the present application, when the second temperature value is selected as the first steam temperature value of the cooking device, since the first steam temperature value can intuitively reflect the temperature of water vapor during the exhaust process, controlling the alternating operation process of the heating assembly and the exhaust assembly based on the first steam temperature value can further improve the accuracy of control.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the value range of the second temperature threshold is 100°C to 106°C; the value range of the third temperature threshold is 107°C to 110°C.

[0028] In the technical solution of the present application, by setting the second temperature threshold for switching the operation of the exhaust assembly to the operation of the heating assembly between 100°C and 106°C, it can be ensured that when the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively low, the operation is timely switched to the heating assembly to ensure the temperature in the cooking cavity.

[0029] In the technical solution of the present application, by setting the value range of the third temperature threshold for switching the operation of the heating assembly to the operation of the exhaust assembly between 107°C and 110°C, it can be ensured that when the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively high, heating is timely stopped and exhaust is carried out to improve the exhaust efficiency.

[0030] In the technical solution of the present application, by restricting the second temperature threshold for switching the operation of the exhaust component to the operation of the heating component and the third temperature value for switching the heating component to the operation of the exhaust component, the exhaust efficiency can be improved, and at the same time, the cooking effect can be ensured.

[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, during the operation of the exhaust component, the exhaust component is controlled to switch between the open and closed states according to a preset cycle.

[0032] In the technical solution of the present application, during the stage of alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, within one operation stage of the exhaust component, the exhaust component performs periodic exhaust according to a preset cycle. That is, after the exhaust component exhausts for a period of time, it stops for a period of time. Here, one opening action and one closing action of the exhaust component are one preset cycle.

[0033] It should be noted that the exhaust component exhausts relying on the pressure inside the cooking device cavity. Therefore, the periodic switching of the opening state of the exhaust component can ensure the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust component.

[0034] In the technical solution of the present application, during the process of alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, enabling the exhaust component to periodically switch between the open state and the closed state can improve the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust component and avoid the reduction of the exhaust efficiency caused by insufficient pressure in the inner cavity of the cooking device.

[0035] In some technical solutions, optionally, controlling the exhaust component to switch between the open and closed states according to a preset cycle includes: within the preset cycle, controlling the exhaust component to open for a third preset duration and close for a fourth preset duration.

[0036] In the technical solution of the present application, when the exhaust component periodically switches between the open and closed states, within one preset cycle, after the exhaust component opens for a third preset duration, the exhaust component is controlled to close for a fourth preset duration. After one preset cycle is completed, the above preset cycle is repeated until the heating component starts to operate.

[0037] In the technical solution of the present application, during the stage of periodically switching the opening state of the exhaust component, by controlling the operation of the exhaust component through the third preset duration of the exhaust component opening and the fourth preset duration of the exhaust component closing, the control accuracy is improved, and the efficiency of the exhaust component is ensured.

[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, the third preset duration is positively correlated with the number of exhausts, and the fourth preset duration is negatively correlated with the number of exhausts.

[0039] In the technical solution of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, the cooking device counts the number of exhausts of the exhaust component. As the number of operations of the exhaust component increases, the cooking device controls the exhaust component to increase the third preset duration in the open state during the exhaust operation stage and decrease the fourth preset duration in the closed state during the exhaust operation stage.

[0040] It should be noted that when the number of operations of the exhaust component is small, since there is still relatively more moisture in the cooking device, it is necessary to reduce the third preset duration for the exhaust component to be open and increase the fourth preset duration for the exhaust component to be closed, reducing the possibility of rice soup overflowing during the exhaust stage. As the number of operations of the exhaust component increases, the moisture in the cooking device gradually decreases. At this time, increase the third preset duration for the exhaust component to be open and decrease the fourth preset duration for the exhaust component to be closed, thereby accelerating the exhaust speed and improving the exhaust efficiency.

[0041] In the technical solution of the present application, setting the third preset duration to increase with the increase in the number of exhausts and the fourth preset duration to decrease with the increase in the number of exhausts can ensure that the rice soup will not overflow through the exhaust component during the initial exhaust stage and improve the exhaust efficiency during the subsequent exhaust stage.

[0042] In some technical solutions, optionally, the value range of the third preset duration is 0.6 seconds to 1 second, and the value range of the fourth preset duration is 4 seconds to 6.4 seconds.

[0043] In this technical solution, the third preset duration for the exhaust component to be open is greater than or equal to 0.6 seconds, and the fourth preset duration for the exhaust component to stop is greater than or equal to 4 seconds, which can ensure that the exhaust component has enough time to exhaust. The third preset duration for the exhaust component to be open is less than or equal to 1 second and less than or equal to 6.4 seconds, which can effectively avoid the overflow of rice soup during the exhaust process.

[0044] In the technical solution of the present application, by limiting the value range of the third preset duration and the value range of the fourth preset duration, the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust component for the cooking device and the cooking effect can be ensured.

[0045] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first temperature value includes the second steam temperature value of the cooking device and / or the cavity temperature value of the cooking device; based on the first temperature value being the second steam temperature value, the value range of the first temperature threshold is 106°C to 116°C; based on the first temperature value being the cavity temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is 120°C to 134°C.

[0046] In the technical solution of this application, the first temperature value can be the second steam temperature value of the cooking device or the temperature value inside the cooking cavity of the cooking device. When the first temperature value is the second steam temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is set to be greater than or equal to 106 °C and less than or equal to 116 °C. When the first temperature value is the temperature value inside the cavity, the value range of the first temperature value is set to be greater than or equal to 120 °C and less than or equal to 116 °C.

[0047] In the technical solution of this application, the cooking device can determine whether to perform the alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component based on the second steam temperature value and / or the temperature value inside the cavity. By setting corresponding first temperature thresholds for the second steam temperature value and the temperature value inside the cavity respectively, the accuracy of control is further improved.

The control module is configured to control the heating component of the cooking device to continuously operate based on the number of exhausts of the exhaust component reaching a preset number.

[0049] In the technical solution of this application, during the process of cooking rice in the cooking device, based on the numerical relationship between the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold, it can be determined whether the moisture in the cooking cavity is close to being absorbed by the rice. When it is determined that the moisture is close to being absorbed by the rice, the heating component and the exhaust component are controlled to operate alternately, so that the cooking device can be periodically turned on, and the gas is discharged from the cooking cavity by using the pressure inside the cooking device, making the rice tend to be flat, and the moisture in the rice after exhaust is almost completely absorbed, and the rice will not continue to boil, making the rice heated relatively evenly during the cooking process, reducing the sunken area of the cooked rice while improving the taste of the rice.

[0065] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the features in this embodiment and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0066] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0067] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 5 Describe a control method, device, readable storage medium and cooking device of a cooking device according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, a control method of a cooking device is proposed, including:

[0069] Step 102, during the operation of the heating component of the cooking device, obtain a first temperature value;

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the first temperature value is the temperature value collected during the operation of the cooking device, and this first temperature value can reflect the cooking process of the cooking device on the food ingredients.

[0071] Exemplarily, the first temperature value can be the temperature value inside the cavity of the cooking device.

[0072] Exemplarily, the first temperature value can be the steam temperature value of the cooking device.

[0073] Figure 2 Shows the structural schematic diagram of the cooking device 200 provided by some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 2As shown, the cooking device 200 includes a main body 202, a lid assembly 208, an exhaust assembly 210, a first sensor 206, and a second sensor 212. The first sensor 206 is disposed at the bottom of the cooking cavity 204 and is used to collect the temperature value inside the cooking device 200. The exhaust assembly 210 and the second sensor 212 are disposed on the lid assembly 208, and the second sensor 212 is used to collect the steam temperature value of the cooking device 200.

[0074] Step 104: Based on the first temperature value being greater than the first temperature threshold, control the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly of the cooking device to operate alternately.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, when the cooking device is a rice cooker and rice cooking is in progress, if it is detected that the first temperature value is greater than the first temperature threshold, it is determined that the water in the rice cooker is nearly absorbed by the rice. At this time, start to control the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly of the cooking device to operate alternately, so that after the cooking device exhausts for a period of time, heating is carried out, and after heating for a period of time, exhaust continues. By controlling the cooking device to operate alternately between exhaust and heating.

[0076] It should be noted that when different temperature values are selected for the first temperature value, corresponding different first temperature thresholds are used, and the first temperature threshold is obtained through preliminary experiments, that is, when the first temperature value is greater than the first temperature threshold, it is determined that the water in the cooking device is nearly absorbed by the rice.

[0077] Step 106: Based on the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly reaching the preset times, control the heating assembly of the cooking device to operate continuously.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the cooking device counts the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly. When the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly reach the preset times, it is determined that the water in the cooking device has been absorbed by the rice and the surface of the cooked rice has been shaped. At this time, start to control the heating assembly to continuously heat until the rice is cooked.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, during the process of the cooking device cooking rice, through the numerical relationship between the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold, it is possible to determine whether the moisture in the cooking cavity is nearly absorbed by the rice at this time. When it is determined that the moisture is nearly absorbed by the rice, control the heating assembly and the exhaust assembly to operate alternately, so that the cooking device can be periodically turned on, and the gas in the cooking cavity is discharged by using the pressure inside the cooking device, making the rice tend to be flat, and the moisture in the rice after exhaust is almost absorbed, and the rice will not continue to boil, making the rice heated relatively evenly during the cooking process, while reducing the concave area of the cooked rice and improving the taste of the rice.

[0080] In some embodiments, optionally, controlling the exhaust component and the heating component of the cooking device to operate alternately includes: controlling the exhaust component to operate until the first operation duration of the exhaust component reaches a first preset duration; controlling the heating component to operate until the second operation duration of the heating component reaches a second preset duration; repeating the above steps until the number of exhausts reaches a preset number.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternate operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, based on the first operation duration of the exhaust component and the second operation duration of the heating component, the switching of the operating states of the exhaust component and the heating component is controlled to ensure that both the exhaust component and the heating component have sufficient operation durations during the alternate operation, guaranteeing the exhaust effect while also ensuring the heating effect during the cooking process.

[0082] In this technical solution, during the alternate operation, when the exhaust component operates, the first operation duration of the exhaust component is timed. After the timing reaches the first preset duration, the heating component is controlled to operate, and the second operation duration of the heating component is timed. After the timing reaches the second preset duration, the step of controlling the exhaust component to operate is returned, and at the same time, the number of exhausts of the exhaust component is counted. When the number of exhausts reaches the preset number, it is determined that the exhaust in the cooking stage is completed, and then the step of controlling the alternate operation of the exhaust component and the heating component is stopped.

[0083] Exemplarily, the operation mode of the exhaust component is intermittent exhaust, that is, during the operation of the exhaust component, the exhaust component remains in a closed state for a period of time T1 and then switches to an open state for a period of time T2. Therefore, the same effect of controlling the first operation duration T3 can be achieved by controlling the number of openings N of the exhaust component in one exhaust operation stage, where N = T3 / (T1 + T2).

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternate operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, by timing the first operation duration and the second operation duration, the accuracy of controlling the number of exhausts of the alternately operating exhaust component and the heating duration of the heating component can be improved, ensuring sufficient exhaust of the cooking cavity to reduce the appearance of depressions on the rice surface, and ensuring sufficient heating of the heating component, improving the exhaust efficiency and the cooking effect.

[0085] In some embodiments, optionally, the value range of the first preset duration is from 70 seconds to 300 seconds; and / or the value range of the second preset duration is from 30 seconds to 200 seconds.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the value range of the first preset duration, the first operation duration of the exhaust assembly is controlled between 70 seconds and 300 seconds, which can ensure that the exhaust assembly has sufficient exhaust time to discharge the gas in the cooking cavity, and can also avoid the deterioration of the cooking effect caused by excessive exhaust time. By setting the value range of the second preset duration, the second operation duration of the heating assembly is controlled between 30 seconds and 200 seconds, which can ensure that the heating assembly has sufficient heating time to heat the cooking cavity during the exhaust stage, promote the conversion of water in the cooking cavity into gas and discharge it, and can also avoid the deterioration of the cooking effect caused by too long heating time of the heating assembly.

[0087] Exemplarily, during the alternating operation, the exhaust scheme of the exhaust assembly is to exhaust for 0.6 seconds and stop for 6.4 seconds until the first operation duration reaches the first preset duration of 210 seconds, that is, after the exhaust assembly operates 30 times each time, the heating assembly is controlled to start operating until the second operation duration of the heating assembly reaches 30 seconds.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, by restricting the value range of the first preset duration and / or the second preset duration, the exhaust efficiency and the cooking effect can be improved.

[0089] In some embodiments, optionally, controlling the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly of the cooking device to operate alternately includes: obtaining the second temperature value of the cooking device; controlling the exhaust assembly to operate until the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold; controlling the heating assembly to operate until the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, where the third temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold; repeating the above steps until the exhaust times reach the preset times.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the operation state switching of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly is controlled based on the second temperature value, ensuring that during the alternating operation, the exhaust assembly performs sufficient exhaust and the heating assembly performs sufficient heating, guaranteeing the exhaust effect while also guaranteeing the heating effect during the cooking process.

[0091] In this technical solution, during the alternating operation, the second temperature value of the cooking device is continuously obtained. During the operation of the exhaust assembly, when it is monitored that the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively low at this time and continuous heating is required to improve the exhaust efficiency, and at this time, the heating assembly is controlled to operate. During the operation of the heating assembly, when it is detected that the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively high at this time and the water in the cooking cavity has been fully converted into gas, and the step of controlling the exhaust assembly to operate is returned, and at the same time, the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly are counted. When the exhaust times reach the preset times, it is determined that the exhaust in the cooking stage has been completed, and then the step of controlling the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly to operate alternately is stopped.

[0092] Exemplarily, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the operation mode of the exhaust assembly is intermittent exhaust, that is, during the operation of the exhaust assembly, the exhaust assembly exhausts for 0.8 seconds and stops for 5.2 seconds. That is, one cycle is 6 seconds. The above cycle is repeated until the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, by obtaining the second temperature value of the cooking device and controlling the alternating process of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly based on the numerical relationship between the second temperature value, the second temperature threshold, and the third temperature threshold, the accuracy of controlling the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly during alternating operation and the heating duration of the heating assembly can be improved, ensuring sufficient exhaust of the cooking cavity to reduce the appearance of depressions on the rice surface, and ensuring sufficient heating of the heating assembly, improving the exhaust efficiency and the cooking effect.

[0094] In some embodiments, optionally, the second temperature value includes: the first steam temperature value of the cooking device.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, by selecting the second temperature value as the first steam temperature value of the cooking device, since the first steam temperature value can intuitively reflect the temperature of water vapor during the exhaust process, controlling the alternating operation process of the heating assembly and the exhaust assembly based on the first steam temperature value can further improve the accuracy of control.

[0096] In some embodiments, optionally, the value range of the second temperature threshold is 100°C to 106°C; the value range of the third temperature threshold is 107°C to 110°C.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the second temperature threshold for controlling the operation switch from the exhaust assembly to the heating assembly between 100°C and 106°C, it can be ensured that when the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively low, the operation is timely switched to the heating assembly to ensure the temperature in the cooking cavity.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the value range of the third temperature threshold for controlling the operation switch from the heating assembly to the exhaust assembly between 107°C and 110°C, it can be ensured that when the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively high, the heating is timely stopped and exhaust is carried out to improve the exhaust efficiency.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, by restricting the second temperature threshold for the operation switch from the exhaust assembly to the heating assembly and the third temperature value for the heating assembly to switch to the exhaust assembly, the exhaust efficiency can be improved, and at the same time, the cooking effect can be ensured.

[0100] In some embodiments, optionally, during the operation of the exhaust assembly, the exhaust assembly is controlled to switch between the open and closed states according to a preset period.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, during the stage of alternating operation between the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, within one operation stage of the exhaust assembly, the exhaust assembly performs periodic exhaust according to a preset period. That is, after the exhaust assembly exhausts for a period of time, it stops for a period of time. Here, one execution of the opening action and the closing action of the exhaust assembly is a preset period.

[0102] It should be noted that the exhaust assembly exhausts relying on the pressure inside the cooking device cavity. Therefore, the periodic switching of the opening state of the exhaust assembly can ensure the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust assembly.

[0103] Exemplarily, the exhaust assembly can be an exhaust valve.

[0104] Exemplarily, during the process of alternating operation between the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the operation mode of the exhaust assembly in a single exhaust stage is intermittent exhaust. The exhaust assembly exhausts for 0.8 seconds and stops for 5.2 seconds. That is, 6 seconds is a preset period, and the above preset period is cycled until the heating assembly starts to operate.

[0105] Exemplarily, during the process of alternating operation between the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the operation mode of the exhaust assembly in a single exhaust stage is intermittent exhaust. The exhaust assembly exhausts for 0.6 seconds and stops for 6.4 seconds. That is, 7 seconds is a cycle, and the above cycle is cycled until the heating assembly starts to operate.

[0106] Exemplarily, during the process of alternating operation between the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the operation mode of the exhaust assembly in a single exhaust stage is intermittent exhaust. The exhaust assembly exhausts for 1 second and stops for 4 seconds. That is, 5 seconds is a cycle, and the above cycle is cycled until the heating assembly starts to operate.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, during the process of alternating operation between the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, making the exhaust assembly periodically switch between the open state and the closed state can improve the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust assembly and avoid the reduction of exhaust efficiency caused by insufficient pressure inside the cooking device cavity.

[0108] In some embodiments, optionally, controlling the exhaust assembly to switch between the open and closed states according to a preset period includes: within the preset period, controlling the exhaust assembly to open for a third preset duration and close for a fourth preset duration.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, when the exhaust assembly periodically switches between the open and closed states, within one preset period, after the exhaust assembly opens for the third preset duration, the exhaust assembly is controlled to close for the fourth preset duration. After one preset period is completed, the above preset period is cycled until the heating assembly starts to operate.

[0110] In the embodiments of the present application, during the switching stage of the periodic opening state of the exhaust assembly, the operation of the exhaust assembly is controlled by the third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is open and the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is closed, improving the control accuracy and ensuring the efficiency of the exhaust assembly.

[0111] In some embodiments, optionally, the third preset duration is positively correlated with the number of exhausts, and the fourth preset duration is negatively correlated with the number of exhausts.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the cooking device counts the number of exhausts of the exhaust assembly. As the number of operations of the exhaust assembly increases, the cooking device controls the exhaust assembly to increase the third preset duration in the open state during the exhaust operation stage and decrease the fourth preset duration in the closed state during the exhaust operation stage.

[0113] It should be noted that when the number of operations of the exhaust assembly is small, since there is still relatively more moisture in the cooking device, it is necessary to reduce the third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is open and increase the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is closed to reduce the possibility of rice soup overflowing during the exhaust stage. As the number of operations of the exhaust assembly increases, the moisture in the cooking device gradually decreases. At this time, increase the third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is open and decrease the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is closed, thereby accelerating the exhaust speed and improving the exhaust efficiency.

[0114] Exemplarily, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the exhaust assembly operates three times in total. Among them, when the exhaust assembly operates for the first time, the exhaust assembly exhausts for 0.6 seconds and stops for 6.4 seconds, that is, one cycle is 7 seconds, and the above cycle is repeated. When the exhaust assembly operates for the second time, the exhaust assembly exhausts for 0.8 seconds and stops for 5.2 seconds, that is, one cycle is 6 seconds, and the above cycle is repeated. When the exhaust assembly operates for the third time, the exhaust assembly exhausts for 1 second and stops for 4 seconds, that is, one cycle is 5 seconds, and the above cycle is repeated.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, setting the third preset duration to increase as the number of exhausts increases and the fourth preset duration to decrease as the number of exhausts increases can ensure that rice soup will not overflow through the exhaust assembly during the initial exhaust stage and improve the exhaust efficiency during the subsequent exhaust stage.

[0116] In some embodiments, optionally, the value range of the third preset duration is from 0.6 seconds to 1 second, and the value range of the fourth preset duration is from 4 seconds to 6.4 seconds.

[0117] In this embodiment, the third preset duration for the exhaust assembly to be turned on is greater than or equal to 0.6 seconds, and the fourth preset duration for the exhaust assembly to stop is greater than or equal to 4 seconds, which can ensure that the exhaust assembly has sufficient time to exhaust. The third preset duration for the exhaust assembly to be turned on is less than or equal to 1 second and less than or equal to 6.4 seconds, which can effectively avoid the overflow of rice soup during the exhaust process.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, by limiting the value range of the third preset duration and the value range of the fourth preset duration, the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust assembly for the cooking device and the cooking effect can be ensured.

[0119] In some embodiments, optionally, the first temperature value includes the second steam temperature value of the cooking device and / or the cavity temperature value of the cooking device; based on the first temperature value being the second steam temperature value, the value range of the first temperature threshold is 106°C to 116°C; based on the first temperature value being the cavity temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is 120°C to 134°C.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the first temperature value can be the second steam temperature value of the cooking device or the cavity temperature value of the cooking device. When the first temperature value is the second steam temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is set to be greater than or equal to 106°C and less than or equal to 116°C. When the first temperature value is the cavity temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is set to be greater than or equal to 120°C and less than or equal to 116°C.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, the cooking device can judge whether to execute the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly based on the second steam temperature value and / or the cavity temperature value, and by setting corresponding first temperature thresholds for the second steam temperature value and the cavity temperature value respectively, the control accuracy is further improved.

[0122] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the control method of the cooking device includes:

[0123] Step 302, start cooking;

[0124] Step 304, heat;

[0125] Step 306, judge whether Tbot > Tbot1 or Ttop > Ttop1. If the judgment result is negative, execute step 304; if the judgment result is positive, execute step 308;

[0126] Step 308, exhaust 1;

[0127] Step 310, judge whether Ttop < Ttop2. If the judgment result is negative, execute step 308; if the judgment result is positive, execute step 312;

[0128] Step 312, stop exhausting and start heating;

[0129] Step 314, determine whether Ttop > Ttop3. If the determination result is no, execute Step 312. If the determination result is yes, execute Step 316;

[0130] Step 316, exhaust air for the second time;

[0131] Step 318, determine whether Ttop < Ttop2. If the determination result is no, execute Step 316. If the determination result is yes, execute Step 320;

[0132] Step 320, stop exhausting and start heating;

[0133] Step 322, determine whether Ttop > Ttop3. If the determination result is no, execute Step 320. If the determination result is yes, execute Step 324;

[0134] Step 324, exhaust air for the third time;

[0135] Step 326, determine whether Ttop < Ttop3. If the determination result is no, execute Step 324. If the determination result is yes, execute Step 328;

[0136] Step 328, continue cooking.

[0137] Wherein, Tbot is the cavity temperature value in any of the above embodiments, specifically, it can be the temperature value at the bottom of the cooking cavity, which is the temperature value collected by the first sensor arranged at the bottom of the cooking cavity;

[0138] Ttop is the steam temperature value in any of the above embodiments, specifically including the first steam temperature value and the second steam temperature value. Ttop is collected by the second sensor on the cover assembly, and the second sensor is a temperature sensor. This temperature sensor can provide real-time feedback on the steam temperature in the cooking cavity, and through the temperature-pressure curve, the pressure in the cooking cavity can be obtained in real time.

[0139] Tbot1 is the first temperature threshold when the first temperature value is the cavity temperature value, that is, the cavity temperature obtained through experiments when the water in the cooking cavity is close to being dried up.

[0140] Ttop1 is the first temperature threshold when the first temperature value is the first steam temperature value, that is, the steam temperature obtained through experiments when the water in the cooking cavity is close to being dried up.

[0141] Ttop2 is the second temperature threshold in any of the above embodiments, that is, the preset threshold for exhausting air to cool down. When exhausting air, when the steam temperature in the pot drops to Ttop2, stop exhausting air and start heating.

[0142] Ttop3 is the third temperature threshold in any of the above embodiments, that is, the preset threshold for heating and temperature rise. When exhausting stops and heating starts, when the steam temperature in the pot rises to Ttop3, heating stops and exhausting starts.

[0143] Exhaust 1, Exhaust 2, and Exhaust 3 are respectively three exhausting stages when the exhausting component and the heating component operate alternately. When the exhausting component operates for Exhaust 1 for the first time, the exhausting component exhausts for 0.6 seconds and stops for 6.4 seconds, that is, one cycle is 7 seconds. The above cycle is repeated until Ttop < Ttop2. Since it is the first exhaust and there is more moisture in the cooking cavity, less opening time of the exhausting component and more closing time are required to avoid the overflow of rice soup. When the exhausting component operates for Exhaust 2 for the second time, the exhausting component exhausts for 0.8 seconds and stops for 5.2 seconds, that is, one cycle is 6 seconds. The above cycle is repeated until Ttop < Ttop2. When the exhausting component operates for Exhaust 3 for the third time, the exhausting component exhausts for 1 second and stops for 4 seconds, that is, one cycle is 5 seconds. The above cycle is repeated until Ttop < Ttop2. Since it is the third exhaust and the moisture in the cooking cavity is basically absorbed by the rice, more opening time of the exhausting component and less closing time are required to improve the exhausting speed.

[0144] In an embodiment according to the present application, as Figure 4 shown, a control device 400 for a cooking device is proposed, including:

[0145] An acquisition module 402, configured to acquire a first temperature value during the operation of the heating component of the cooking device;

[0146] A control module 404, configured to control the exhausting component and the heating component of the cooking device to operate alternately based on the first temperature value being greater than a first temperature threshold.

[0147] The control module 404 is configured to control the heating component of the cooking device to operate continuously based on the exhausting times of the exhausting component reaching a preset number of times.

[0148] In the embodiment of the present application, during the process of cooking rice in the cooking device, through the numerical relationship between the first temperature value and the first temperature threshold, it can be determined whether the moisture in the cooking cavity is close to being absorbed by the rice. When it is determined that the moisture is close to being absorbed by the rice, the heating component and the exhausting component are controlled to operate alternately, so that the cooking device can be periodically turned on, and the gas in the cooking cavity is discharged by using the pressure in the cooking device, making the rice tend to be flat, and the moisture in the rice after exhausting is almost absorbed, and the rice will not continue to boil, making the rice heated relatively evenly during the cooking process, while reducing the sunken area of the cooked rice and improving the taste of the rice.

[0149] In some embodiments, optionally, the control module 404 is configured to control the exhaust assembly to operate until the first operation duration of the exhaust assembly reaches a first preset duration;

[0150] The control module 404 is configured to control the heating assembly to operate until the second operation duration of the heating assembly reaches a second preset duration;

[0151] The control module 404 is configured to repeat the above steps until the number of exhausts reaches a preset number.

[0152] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, based on the first operation duration of the exhaust assembly and the second operation duration of the heating assembly, the switching of the operating states of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly is controlled to ensure that both the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly have sufficient duration to operate during the alternating operation, ensuring the exhaust effect while also ensuring the heating effect during the cooking process.

[0153] In this technical solution, during the alternating operation, when the exhaust assembly operates, the first operation duration of the exhaust assembly is timed. After the timing reaches the first preset duration, the heating assembly is controlled to operate, and the second operation duration of the heating assembly is timed. After the timing reaches the second preset duration, the step of controlling the exhaust assembly to operate is returned, and at the same time, the number of exhausts of the exhaust assembly is counted. When the number of exhausts reaches the preset number, it is determined that the exhaust in the cooking stage is completed, and then the step of controlling the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly is stopped.

[0154] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, by timing the first operation duration and the second operation duration, the accuracy of controlling the number of exhausts of the alternating exhaust assembly and the heating duration of the heating assembly can be improved, ensuring sufficient exhaust of the cooking cavity to reduce the appearance of depressions on the rice surface, and ensuring sufficient heating of the heating assembly, improving the exhaust efficiency and the cooking effect.

[0155] In some embodiments, optionally, the value range of the first preset duration is from 70 seconds to 300 seconds; and / or the value range of the second preset duration is from 30 seconds to 200 seconds.

[0156] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the value range of the first preset duration, the first operation duration of the exhaust assembly is controlled between 70 seconds and 300 seconds, which can ensure that the exhaust assembly has sufficient exhaust time to discharge the gas in the cooking cavity, and can also avoid the deterioration of the cooking effect caused by excessive exhaust time. By setting the value range of the second preset duration, the second operation duration of the heating assembly is controlled between 30 seconds and 200 seconds, which can ensure that the heating assembly has sufficient heating time to heat the cooking cavity during the exhaust stage, promote the conversion of water in the cooking cavity into gas and discharge it, and can also avoid the deterioration of the cooking effect caused by too long heating time of the heating assembly.

[0157] In some embodiments, optionally, the acquisition module 402 is configured to acquire a second temperature value of the cooking device;

[0158] The control module 404 is configured to control the exhaust assembly to operate until the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold;

[0159] The control module 404 is configured to control the heating assembly to operate until the second temperature value is greater than or equal to a third temperature threshold, and the third temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold;

[0160] The control module 404 is configured to repeat the above steps until the exhaust times reach a preset number of times.

[0161] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly, the operating states of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly are controlled based on the second temperature value, ensuring that during the alternating operation, the exhaust assembly performs sufficient exhaust, and the heating assembly performs sufficient heating, ensuring the exhaust effect while also ensuring the heating effect during the cooking process.

[0162] In this technical solution, during the alternating operation, the second temperature value of the cooking device is continuously acquired. During the operation of the exhaust assembly, when it is monitored that the second temperature value is less than the second temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively low at this time, and heating is needed to continue to improve the exhaust efficiency, and at this time, the heating assembly is controlled to operate. During the operation of the heating assembly, when it is detected that the second temperature value is greater than or equal to the third temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively high at this time, and the water in the cooking cavity has been fully converted into gas, and the step of controlling the exhaust assembly to operate is returned, and at the same time, the exhaust times of the exhaust assembly are counted. When the exhaust times reach the preset number of times, it is determined that the exhaust in the cooking stage has been completed, and the step of controlling the alternating operation of the exhaust assembly and the heating assembly is stopped.

[0163] In the embodiments of the present application, during the alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component, by obtaining the second temperature value of the cooking device and controlling the alternating process of the exhaust component and the heating component based on the numerical relationship between the second temperature value and the second temperature threshold and the third temperature threshold, the accuracy of controlling the exhaust times of the exhaust component during alternating operation and the heating duration of the heating component can be improved, ensuring sufficient exhaust of the cooking cavity to reduce the appearance of depressions on the rice surface, and ensuring sufficient heating by the heating component, improving the exhaust efficiency and the cooking effect.

[0164] In some embodiments, optionally, the second temperature value includes: the first steam temperature value of the cooking device;

[0165] In the embodiments of the present application, by selecting the second temperature value as the first steam temperature value of the cooking device, since the first steam temperature value can intuitively reflect the temperature of water vapor during the exhaust process, controlling the alternating operation process of the heating component and the exhaust component based on the first steam temperature value can further improve the accuracy of control.

[0166] In some embodiments, optionally, the value range of the second temperature threshold is 100°C to 106°C;

[0167] The value range of the third temperature threshold is 107°C to 110°C.

[0168] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the second temperature threshold for controlling the operation switch from the exhaust component to the heating component between 100°C and 106°C, it can be ensured that when the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively low, the operation is timely switched to the heating component to ensure the temperature in the cooking cavity.

[0169] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the value range of the third temperature threshold for controlling the operation switch from the heating component to the exhaust component between 107°C and 110°C, it can be ensured that when the temperature in the cooking cavity is relatively high, the heating is timely stopped and exhaust is carried out to improve the exhaust efficiency.

[0170] In the embodiments of the present application, by restricting the second temperature threshold for the operation switch of the exhaust component to the heating component and the third temperature value for the heating component to the exhaust component switch, the exhaust efficiency can be improved, and at the same time, the cooking effect can be ensured.

[0171] In some embodiments, optionally, the control module 404 is configured to control the exhaust component to switch between the open and closed states according to a preset period during the operation of the exhaust component.

[0172] In the embodiments of the present application, during the stage where the exhaust component and the heating component operate alternately, within one operating stage of the exhaust component, the exhaust component performs periodic exhaust according to a preset period. That is, after the exhaust component exhausts for a period of time, it stops for a period of time. Herein, one execution of the opening action and the closing action of the exhaust component is one preset period.

[0173] It should be noted that the exhaust component exhausts relying on the cavity pressure of the cooking device. Therefore, the periodic switching of the opening state of the exhaust component can ensure the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust component.

[0174] In the embodiments of the present application, during the process where the exhaust component and the heating component operate alternately, enabling the exhaust component to periodically switch between the opening state and the closing state can improve the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust component and avoid the reduction of the exhaust efficiency caused by insufficient pressure in the inner cavity of the cooking device.

[0175] In some embodiments, optionally, the control module 404 is configured to control the exhaust component to open for a third preset duration and close for a fourth preset duration within a preset period.

[0176] In the embodiments of the present application, when the exhaust component periodically switches between the opening and closing states, within one preset period, after the exhaust component opens for a third preset duration, the exhaust component is controlled to close for a fourth preset duration. After one preset period is completed, the above preset period is cycled until the heating component starts to operate.

[0177] In the embodiments of the present application, during the stage where the exhaust component periodically switches its opening state, the operation of the exhaust component is controlled by the third preset duration for which the exhaust component is open and the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust component is closed, improving the control accuracy and ensuring the efficiency of the exhaust component.

[0178] In some embodiments, optionally, the third preset duration is positively correlated with the number of exhausts, and the fourth preset duration is negatively correlated with the number of exhausts.

[0179] In the embodiments of the present application, during the process where the exhaust component and the heating component operate alternately, the cooking device counts the number of exhausts of the exhaust component. As the number of operating times of the exhaust component increases, the cooking device controls the exhaust component to increase the third preset duration in the open state during the exhaust operation stage and decrease the fourth preset duration in the closed state during the exhaust operation stage.

[0180] It should be noted that when the number of operations of the exhaust assembly is small, since there is still relatively more moisture in the cooking device, it is necessary to reduce the third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is turned on and increase the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is turned off, so as to reduce the possibility of rice soup overflowing during the exhaust stage. As the number of operations of the exhaust assembly increases, the moisture in the cooking device gradually decreases. At this time, increase the third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is turned on and reduce the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is turned off, so as to accelerate the exhaust speed and improve the exhaust efficiency.

[0181] In the embodiments of the present application, setting the third preset duration to increase as the number of exhausts increases and the fourth preset duration to decrease as the number of exhausts increases can ensure that rice soup will not overflow through the exhaust assembly during the initial exhaust stage and improve the exhaust efficiency during the subsequent exhaust stage.

[0182] In some embodiments, optionally, the value range of the third preset duration is 0.6 seconds to 1 second, and the value range of the fourth preset duration is 4 seconds to 6.4 seconds.

[0183] In this embodiment, the third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is turned on is greater than or equal to 0.6 seconds, and the fourth preset duration for which the exhaust assembly stops is greater than or equal to 4 seconds, which can ensure that the exhaust assembly has sufficient time for exhaust. The third preset duration for which the exhaust assembly is turned on is less than or equal to 1 second and less than or equal to 6.4 seconds, which can effectively avoid rice soup overflow during the exhaust process.

[0184] In the embodiments of the present application, by limiting the value range of the third preset duration and the value range of the fourth preset duration, the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust assembly for the cooking device and the cooking effect can be ensured.

[0185] In some embodiments, optionally, the first temperature value includes the second steam temperature value of the cooking device and / or the cavity temperature value of the cooking device; based on the first temperature value being the second steam temperature value, the value range of the first temperature threshold is 106°C to 116°C; based on the first temperature value being the cavity temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is 120°C to 134°C.

[0186] In the embodiments of the present application, the first temperature value can be the second steam temperature value of the cooking device or the cavity temperature value of the cooking device. When the first temperature value is the second steam temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is set to be greater than or equal to 106°C and less than or equal to 116°C. When the first temperature value is the cavity temperature value, the value range of the first temperature value is set to be greater than or equal to 120°C and less than or equal to 116°C.

[0187] In the embodiments of the present application, the cooking device can determine whether to perform the alternating operation of the exhaust component and the heating component based on the second steam temperature value and / or the cavity temperature value, and by setting corresponding first temperature thresholds for the second steam temperature value and the cavity temperature value respectively, the accuracy of control is further improved.

[0188] In an embodiment according to the present application, as Figure 5 shown, a control device 500 for a cooking device is proposed, including: a processor 502 and a memory 504, and a program or instruction is stored in the memory 504; the processor 502 executes the program or instruction stored in the memory 504 to implement the steps of the control method for the cooking device in any technical solution in the first aspect, and thus has all the beneficial technical effects of the control method for the cooking device in any technical solution in the first aspect, and will not be elaborated here too much.
