[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0023] The inventors have proposed a cooking control method, device, equipment and storage medium provided by the embodiment of the present application. The cooking control method is applied to a cooking device. The cooking device includes a pot body, and a cooking pot, a heating device and a circulation fan located inside the pot body. The heating device is located between the cooking pot and the pot body, and the circulation fan is opposite to the mouth of the cooking pot. The cooking control method includes: in response to a cooking signal, controlling the heating device to heat the cooking pot so that the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage from the warming-up stage; obtaining the steam temperature inside the cooking pot; if the steam temperature is within a first preset temperature range, controlling the circulation fan to operate; obtaining the temperature of the pot body of the cooking pot; if the temperature of the pot body is within a second preset temperature range, controlling the cooking device to enter the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage. The minimum value of the second preset temperature range is greater than the minimum value of the first preset temperature range. Thus, after the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage, when the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, the circulation fan is controlled to operate. When the circulation fan rotates, it can stir the air inside the cooking pot, so that the air inside the cooking pot can flow to break the bubbles, which helps to prevent the generation of bubbles, and thus can improve the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device in the boiling cooking stage; in the case of a large amount of liquid inside the cooking pot, such as when the cooking device cooks porridge, makes soup, etc., the rotation of the circulation fan can also improve the uniform heating of the liquid; when the circulation fan rotates, it can also accelerate the return of the condensed water inside the lid of the cooking device to the cooking pot through the wind, so as to reduce the condensed water attached to the lid. In addition, the cooking device also obtains the temperature of the pot body. When the temperature of the pot body is greater than or equal to the value of the second preset temperature range, it is determined that the boiling cooking stage is completed. Compared with the steam temperature, the temperature of the pot body is closer to the actual temperature of the cooking pot, which improves the judgment accuracy of the cooking device, helps to more accurately determine whether the boiling cooking stage is completed, and thus can avoid the heating device continuously heating the cooking pot with the heating power in the boiling cooking stage, which helps to prevent the food from being burned.

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a cooking device 100, which includes a pot body 110, a cooking pot 120, a heating device 130, and a circulation fan 140. The cooking pot 120, the heating device 130, and the circulation fan 140 are all located inside the pot body 110. The heating device 130 is located between the pot body 110 and the cooking pot 120 to heat the cooking pot 120. The circulation fan 140 is opposite to the mouth of the cooking pot 120. Thus, when the circulation fan 140 works, it can blow air into the cooking pot 120, driving the air flow inside the cooking pot 120 to break the bubbles, which helps to prevent the generation of bubbles.

[0026] Among them, the cooking device 100 can be an air fryer, an oven, a rice cooker, a stew pot, an electric pressure cooker, a steam rice cooker, etc., and the present application does not limit this. For the convenience of description, the following takes the cooking device 100 as an air fryer as an example for explanation.

[0027] In some embodiments, the pot body 110 may include a pot main body 111 and a pot lid body 113. The pot lid body 113 can be covered on the pot main body 111. The cooking pot 120, the heating device 130, and the circulation fan 140 are all located between the pot lid body 113 and the pot main body 111.

[0028] In some embodiments, there can be various connection methods between the pot main body 111 and the pot lid body 113. For example, the pot lid body 113 can be hinged to the pot main body 111, or the pot lid body 113 and the pot main body 111 can also be separate structures, or other connection methods can also be adopted between the pot main body 111 and the pot lid body 113.

[0029] In some embodiments, a heating space can be provided inside the pot main body 111, and the heating device 130 and the cooking pot 120 are both located inside the heating space.

[0030] In some embodiments, the heating device 130 can be located between the bottom wall of the cooking pot 120 and the bottom wall of the pot body 110, so that the food inside the cooking pot 120 is more easily heated.

[0031] In some other embodiments, the heating device 130 can also be located between the side wall of the cooking pot 120 and the side wall of the pot body 110.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the number of heating devices 130 can be multiple. The multiple heating devices 130 can be distributed between the bottom wall of the cooking pot 120 and the bottom wall of the pot body 110, as well as between the side wall of the cooking pot 120 and the side wall of the pot body 110, so as to improve the heating efficiency and the cooking speed of the cooking device 100.

[0033] In some embodiments, the heating device 130 can be a heating tube, a heating plate, an electromagnetic heating element or other heating elements or devices.

[0034] In some embodiments, the circulation fan 140 can be connected to the pot lid body 113. It can be understood that when the pot lid body 113 is covered on the pot body 111, the circulation fan 140 can be located inside the cooking pot 120, or the circulation fan 140 can also be located outside the cooking pot 120 and opposite to the pot opening of the cooking pot 120, or the circulation fan 140 can also be partially located inside the cooking pot 120.

[0035] In some embodiments, a liquid capacity prompt mark for prompting the user, such as a water level line, can be provided on the inner wall of the cooking pot 120.

[0036] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 can further include a motor. The motor can be installed inside the pot lid body 113, the drive shaft of the motor can extend out of the pot lid body 113, and the circulation fan 140 can be connected to the drive shaft, so that the motor can control the rotation of the circulation fan 140.

[0037] In some embodiments, a cooking space 121 can be provided inside the cooking pot 120, and the cooking space 121 can be used to place food.

[0038] It can be understood that when the pot lid body 113 is covered on the pot body 111, the cooking space 121 can refer to the space between the cooking pot 120 and the pot lid body 113. When the pot lid body 113 is covered on the pot body 111, the cooking space 121 can be sealed, which helps to improve the problem of overflow during cooking of the cooking device 100.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 can further include a temperature detection unit. The temperature detection unit can be arranged inside the cooking space 121. For example, the temperature detection unit can be arranged on the pot lid body 113, so that the temperature detection unit can obtain the steam temperature inside the cooking pot 120.

[0040] Among them, the temperature detection unit can be a temperature detection device such as a temperature sensor, a thermistor, a thermometer, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 can further include a timer. The timer can be used to time the duration of the cooking device during the cooking stage, or time the boiling duration of the liquid in the cooking pot, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cooking pot body 110 may be provided with exhaust holes, and the exhaust holes can discharge the steam in the cooking space 121 to play a role in pressure relief. The temperature detection unit may be located in the exhaust holes, so that the temperature detection unit can obtain the steam temperature in the cooking pot 120.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 may further include a controller. The controller may be located in the cooking pot body 110 and may be used to control the working states of the circulation fan 140 and the heating device 130. The controller may also obtain the detection value of the temperature detection unit and control the working states of the circulation fan 140 and the heating device 130 according to the detection value. The controller may also obtain the timing duration of the timer, and so on. The controller may be used to execute any step in the cooking control method of any of the following embodiments.

[0044] Among them, the controller may adopt an MCU (Microcontroller Unit, micro control unit), an MPU (Microprocessor Unit, microprocessor), a CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processor), etc.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a cooking control method. The cooking control method is applied to the cooking device 100 of any of the above embodiments, and the cooking control method includes step 010, step 020, step 030, step 040, and step 050.

[0046] In step 010, in response to a cooking signal, control the heating device to heat the cooking pot so that the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage from the heating-up stage.

[0047] It should be noted that the heating-up stage may refer to the stage where the liquid in the cooking pot is heated from the initial temperature (usually room temperature) to the start of boiling. The boiling cooking stage may refer to the stage where the liquid is in a boiling state throughout the boiling cooking stage, or may refer to the stage where the liquid enters the boiling state from the non-boiling state during the boiling cooking stage.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cooking signal may be triggered by the user. The controller interacts with the user to obtain the user's input operation, and then obtains the cooking signal. For example, the cooking device may be provided with an interaction panel, and the user can click a button or option related to sending the cooking signal on the interaction panel (such as a button or a touch screen, etc.). Or the user can also trigger the cooking signal by sending a preset specific voice, infrared control, sending a specific instruction through a mobile terminal, and so on.

[0049] In some embodiments, when a cooking signal is received, the cooking device enters the cooking mode.

[0050] In some embodiments, after cooking is completed, the cooking device can also send a prompt to the user indicating that cooking is finished. For example, after cooking is completed, the cooking device emits a prompt sound, voice announcement, light flashing, and so on.

[0051] In some embodiments, the cooking device can have multiple cooking stages during cooking. Taking rice cooking as an example, the cooking device can successively have a detection stage, a heating-up stage, a boiling stage, a simmering stage, a heat preservation stage, etc. during rice cooking. In the detection stage, the cooking device can detect whether the water level in the cooking pot exceeds the water level line, or detect whether the lid body and the pot body are tightly covered, or detect whether the exhaust hole is blocked, or detect whether the user adds water to the cooking pot during rice cooking, and so on. The boiling cooking stage in the embodiments of the present application can refer to the above-mentioned boiling stage, and the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage can be the simmering stage or the heat preservation stage.

[0052] In some embodiments, the heating power of the heating device can be different in multiple cooking stages. For example, the heating power of the heating device in the boiling cooking stage is greater than the heating power of the heating device in the simmering stage and the heat preservation stage.

[0053] In some embodiments, the heating device can work continuously or periodically. That is, the heating device can continuously heat the cooking pot or periodically heat the cooking pot.

[0054] In step 020, the steam temperature in the cooking pot is obtained.

[0055] Wherein, the steam temperature in the cooking pot can refer to that the temperature detection unit is located in the cooking pot and directly detects the steam temperature in the cooking pot, or can also refer to that the temperature detection unit is located in the exhaust hole, and when the steam in the cooking pot flows to the exhaust hole, the steam temperature in the exhaust hole detected by the temperature detection unit.

[0056] It can be understood that the steam temperature is generally lower than the temperature of the liquid in the cooking pot. In the embodiments of the present application, by obtaining the steam temperature, it can be ensured that the temperature of the liquid in the cooking pot is higher than the detected steam temperature, thereby improving the fault tolerance rate of the cooking control method.

[0057] In step 030, if the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, control the circulation fan to work.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, the heating device heats the cooking pot until the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage, then obtains the steam temperature and judges the steam temperature. When the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, the circulation fan is controlled to operate. When the circulation fan rotates, it can stir the air in the cooking pot, enabling the air in the cooking pot to flow, thereby destroying the bubbles and helping to prevent the generation of bubbles, which can improve the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device during the boiling cooking stage; in the case of a large amount of liquid in the cooking pot, such as when the cooking device is cooking porridge or soup, etc., the rotation of the circulation fan can also improve the uniform heating of the liquid; when the circulation fan rotates, it can also accelerate the return of the condensed water in the lid of the cooking device to the cooking pot through the wind, thereby reducing the condensed water adhering to the lid.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the circulation fan can also be located in the liquid in the cooking pot. When the circulation fan rotates, it can stir the liquid, thereby preventing the liquid from generating bubbles and improving the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the steam temperature does not reach the first preset temperature range, that is, when the steam temperature is less than the minimum value of the first preset temperature range, the circulation fan can be in the operating state or in the stopped state.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the cooking device has not entered the boiling cooking stage, the circulation fan can be in the operating state or in the stopped state.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first preset temperature range can be preset according to requirements. For example, the first preset temperature range can be [60°C, 200°C], or the first preset temperature range can be [95°C, 200°C], or the first preset temperature range can also be set to other interval values. Among them, both sides of the first preset temperature range can be open intervals or closed intervals.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cooking control method can further include the step of: in response to a cooking signal, controlling the circulation fan to operate or stop operating in the first mode.

[0064] When the cooking device receives the cooking signal, at this time, the heating device has just heated the cooking pot, and the liquid in the cooking pot takes a certain time to boil. It is difficult to generate bubbles in the cooking pot, and the circulation fan can be in the stopped working state, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the cooking device.

[0065] Alternatively, after the cooking device receives a cooking signal, the circulation fan can operate in a first mode to prevent bubbles from forming in the cooking pot and causing overflow, thereby improving the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device. For example, in some high-altitude areas, the boiling point of the liquid is relatively low. When the cooking device receives a cooking signal, even if the steam temperature is not within the first preset temperature range, the liquid in the cooking pot may still boil. The circulation fan operating in the first mode helps prevent bubble overflow.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first mode can be a low rotational speed mode. For example, the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the first mode can be a first rotational speed, and the first rotational speed can be less than 2000 rpm. For example, the first rotational speed can be 1900 rpm, 1800 rpm, 500 rpm, and so on. In some other embodiments, the first mode can also be a low power mode.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cooking control method further includes: in response to the cooking signal, controlling the circulation fan to operate in the first mode. Step 030 can include the step of: if the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, controlling the circulation fan to operate in the second mode.

[0068] Wherein, the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the second mode is greater than the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the first mode.

[0069] That is to say, step 030 can include: if the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range and the circulation fan is operating in the first mode, controlling the circulation fan to operate in the second mode, and the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the second mode is greater than the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the first mode.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, after the cooking device receives a cooking signal, the heating device starts to heat the cooking pot. After the cooking pot is heated for a period of time, the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage. The circulation fan operates in the first mode. It should be noted that the circulation fan can operate in the first mode after the cooking device receives the cooking signal, or the circulation fan can also operate in the first mode after the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage. At this time, even if the liquid in the cooking pot enters the boiling state in advance, when the circulation fan operates in the first mode, it can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to destroy the generation of bubbles, which helps to achieve the effect of preventing overflow. When the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, the cooking device determines that the temperature in the cooking pot is relatively high at this time, and the cooking pot is in a near-boiling state or a continuous boiling state. At this time, the cooking device controls the circulation fan to operate in the second mode. Since the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the second mode is greater than the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the first mode, it can accelerate the air flow in the cooking pot to accelerate the destruction of the bubbles generated in the cooking pot, thereby improving the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device.

[0071] As an example, in this embodiment, the first preset temperature range can be set to [95°C, 200°C]. When the steam temperature is within the temperature range [95°C, 200°C], the cooking device can determine that the liquid in the cooking pot is in a state close to boiling or already in a state of continuous boiling. Thus, the rotation speed of the circulation fan can be increased, and the circulation fan transitions from the first mode to the second mode to enhance the anti-overflow effect.

[0072] It can be understood that the first preset temperature range can also be set according to requirements so that the cooking device can adapt to different scenarios.

[0073] Specifically, as an example, when the steam temperature has not reached the first preset temperature range and the circulation fan is in a stopped state at this time. In this example, the first preset temperature range can be set to [60°C, 200°C]. Since the circulation fan is in a stopped state, when the steam temperature is within the temperature range [60°C, 200°C], to prevent the liquid in the cooking pot from boiling prematurely, the circulation fan operates in the second mode when the steam temperature is greater than or equal to 60°C to prevent the liquid in the cooking pot from boiling prematurely and overflowing.

[0074] It should be noted that the values of the first preset temperature range in the above examples are only for illustration purposes for easy understanding.

[0075] In some embodiments, controlling the circulation fan to operate in step 030 may include the steps of:

[0076] Controlling the circulation fan to operate periodically.

[0077] That is, step 030 may include: If the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, control the circulation fan to operate periodically.

[0078] When the cooking device is in the boiling cooking stage, it takes a certain amount of time for bubbles to form in the cooking pot. Therefore, the cooking device can control the circulation fan to operate periodically, which can not only achieve the anti-overflow effect but also reduce the energy consumption of the cooking device.

[0079] In some embodiments, the periodic rotation of the circulation fan may mean operating at a preset interval duration.

[0080] As an example, the interval duration can be 10 seconds, and the circulation fan starts once every 10 seconds.

[0081] As another example, the interval duration can be 20 seconds, and the circulation fan starts once every 20 seconds.

[0082] In some embodiments, controlling the periodic rotation of the circulation fan in the above step 030 may include:

[0083] Control the circulation fan to rotate for a first duration and then stop rotating for a second duration.

[0084] Among them, the rotation and stop of the circulation fan alternate, and the first duration is longer than the second duration. That is to say, step 030 may include: if the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, control the circulation fan to rotate for the first duration and then stop rotating for the second duration, where the rotation and stop of the circulation fan alternate, and the first duration is longer than the second duration.

[0085] Since the first duration is longer than the second duration, the working time of the circulation fan can be extended, thereby improving the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first duration and the second duration can be preset.

[0087] As an example, the first duration can be 20 seconds and the second duration can be 10 seconds, then the circulation fan alternately operates according to a time cycle of rotating for 20 seconds and stopping for 10 seconds.

[0088] As another example, the first duration can be 30 seconds and the second duration can be 5 seconds, then the circulation fan alternately operates according to a time cycle of rotating for 30 seconds and stopping for 5 seconds.

[0089] In step 040, obtain the temperature of the cooking pot body.

[0090] In some embodiments, the temperature of the cooking pot body can be the temperature of the bottom wall of the cooking pot. For example, the temperature detection unit can be arranged between the bottom wall and the pot body of the cooking pot.

[0091] In some embodiments, the temperature of the cooking pot body can also be the temperature of the side wall of the cooking pot. For example, the temperature detection unit can be arranged between the side wall and the pot body of the cooking pot.

[0092] In step 050, if the temperature of the cooking pot body is within the second preset temperature range, control the cooking device to enter the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage.

[0093] Among them, the minimum value of the second preset temperature range is greater than the minimum value of the first preset temperature range.

[0094] In the embodiments of the present application, by obtaining the temperature of the cooking pot body and judging the temperature of the cooking pot body, when the temperature of the cooking pot body is within the second preset temperature range, the cooking device determines that the boiling cooking stage has been completed, and the cooking device can enter the next cooking stage. At this time, the circulation fan can continue to work, the circulation fan can also stop working, or the circulation fan can also work according to the operation mode of the next cooking stage. In the cooking control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the cooking device judges whether the boiling cooking stage is completed by obtaining the temperature of the cooking pot body. Compared with the steam temperature, there will be heat loss in the steam temperature, while the temperature of the cooking pot body is closer to the actual temperature of the cooking pot, which improves the judgment accuracy of the cooking device, helps to more accurately determine whether the boiling cooking stage is completed, and thus can avoid the heating device continuously heating the cooking pot at the heating power of the boiling cooking stage, helping to avoid food being burned.

[0095] In some embodiments, the second preset temperature range can be preset according to requirements. For example, the second preset temperature range can be set to [125°C, 145°C]. When the temperature of the cooking pot body is between [125°C, 145°C], it can be determined that the inside of the cooking pot is in a boiling state at this time. In addition, the second set temperature can also be set to other temperature range values. For example, the minimum value of the second set temperature range can be greater than or equal to the boiling temperature of the liquid in the cooking pot.

[0096] In some embodiments, the heating device and the temperature detection unit can be arranged on the same side of the cooking pot, or can be arranged on different sides. Correspondingly, the second preset temperature range can be set differently.

[0097] As an example, when the heating device and the temperature detection unit are arranged on the same side of the cooking pot, for example, both the heating device and the temperature detection unit are arranged between the bottom wall of the cooking pot and the pot body, or both the heating device and the temperature detection unit are arranged between the side wall of the cooking pot and the pot body. At this time, the temperature detection unit will be affected by the thermal radiation of the heating device, resulting in the temperature of the cooking pot body detected by the temperature detection unit being higher than the actual temperature of the cooking pot body. In this example, the second preset temperature range can be set to [125°C, 145°C] to accommodate the radiation temperature of the heating device and improve the detection accuracy.

[0098] As another example, when the heating device and the temperature detection unit are arranged on different sides of the cooking pot. For example, the heating device is arranged between the bottom wall of the cooking pot and the pot body, and the temperature detection unit is arranged between the side wall of the cooking pot and the pot body. Or, for another example, the temperature detection unit is arranged between the bottom wall of the cooking pot and the pot body, and the heating device is arranged between the side wall of the cooking pot and the pot body. At this time, the temperature detection unit is not affected by the thermal radiation of the heating device, or the thermal radiation received by the temperature detection unit is relatively small. At this time, the temperature in the second preset temperature range can be lower than the temperature in the second preset temperature range when the heating device and the temperature detection unit are on the same side. For example, in this example, the second preset temperature range can be set to [115°C, 135°C].

[0099] In the cooking control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the cooking control method is applied to a cooking device. The cooking device includes a pot body, and a cooking pot, a heating device and a circulation fan located inside the pot body. The heating device is located between the cooking pot and the pot body, and the circulation fan faces the mouth of the cooking pot. The cooking control method includes: in response to a cooking signal, controlling the heating device to heat the cooking pot so that the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage from the temperature rising stage; obtaining the steam temperature in the cooking pot; if the steam temperature is within a first preset temperature range, controlling the circulation fan to operate; obtaining the body temperature of the cooking pot; if the body temperature is within a second preset temperature range, controlling the cooking device to enter the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage. The minimum value of the second preset temperature range is greater than the minimum value of the first preset temperature range. Thus, when the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage, when the steam temperature is within the first preset temperature range, the circulation fan is controlled to operate. When the circulation fan rotates, it can stir the air in the cooking pot, so that the air in the cooking pot can flow to break the bubbles, which helps to prevent the generation of bubbles, thereby improving the anti-overflow effect of the cooking device in the boiling cooking stage. In addition, the cooking device also obtains the body temperature of the cooking pot. When the body temperature is greater than or equal to the value of the second preset temperature range, it is determined that the boiling cooking stage is completed. Compared with the steam temperature, the body temperature is closer to the actual temperature of the cooking pot, improving the judgment accuracy of the cooking device, which helps to more accurately determine whether the boiling cooking stage is completed, thereby avoiding the heating device continuously heating the cooking pot with the heating power in the boiling cooking stage, and helping to prevent the food from being burned.

[0100] In some embodiments, the cooking control method may further include the following steps:

[0101] (1) If the body temperature of the cooking pot is less than the minimum value in the second preset temperature range, obtain the boiling duration of the cooking pot.

[0102] (2) If the boiling duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, control the cooking device to enter the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage.

[0103] When the cooking device determines that the temperature of the pot body is lower than the minimum value in the second preset temperature range, the cooking device determines that the boiling cooking stage has not been completed at this time. For example, the food in the cooking pot may not be cooked yet. The cooking device then determines whether the boiling cooking stage is completed based on the boiling duration and the preset duration. When the boiling duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, the cooking device determines that the boiling cooking stage has been completed. To avoid the food from being scorched, the cooking device determines that even if the temperature of the pot body does not reach the second preset temperature range at this time, the cooking device enters the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage.

[0104] In some embodiments, the boiling duration may refer to the duration since the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage. For example, when the cooking device enters the boiling cooking stage, the cooking device starts timing, and this timing duration can be the boiling duration. Or, the boiling duration can also be based on the steam temperature. For example, when the steam temperature starts timing after entering the first preset temperature range, this timing duration can be the boiling duration. Or, the boiling duration can also be timed in other ways.

[0105] In some embodiments, the preset duration can be preset according to requirements. For example, the preset duration can be any value in the range [30 min, 90 min], such as the preset duration can be 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 90 min, and so on.

[0106] In some embodiments, the cooking control method may further include the step of:

[0107] If the boiling duration is less than the preset duration, then go to the step of obtaining the steam temperature in the cooking pot.

[0108] When the boiling duration is less than the preset duration, at this time, the temperature of the pot body has not reached the second preset temperature range, and the boiling duration has not reached the preset duration either. The cooking device determines that the boiling cooking stage has not been completed at this time. The cooking device re-obtains the steam temperature, that is, goes to the above step 020, and then proceeds with the subsequent steps in sequence, which will not be elaborated here.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present application, by simultaneously judging the temperature of the pot body and the boiling duration to determine whether the boiling cooking stage is completed, it helps to make a more accurate judgment, thereby avoiding the situation where the cooking device is in the boiling cooking stage for a long time and is scorched, and also avoiding the situation where the duration of the cooking device in the boiling cooking stage is insufficient, resulting in the food not being cooked, and improving the performance of the cooking device.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second control module 330 is further used to control the circulation fan to work in a first mode or stop working in response to a cooking signal.

[0117] In some embodiments, the second control module 330 is further used to control the circulation fan to work in a second mode if the circulation fan works in the first mode, and the rotation speed of the circulation fan in the second mode is greater than the rotation speed of the circulation fan in the first mode.

[0118] In some embodiments, the third control module 350 is further used to acquire the boiling duration of the cooking pot if the body temperature is less than the minimum value in the second preset temperature range; if the boiling duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration, control the cooking device to enter the next cooking stage after the boiling cooking stage.

[0119] In some embodiments, if the boiling duration is less than the preset duration, the third control module 350 turns to the step of acquiring the steam temperature inside the cooking pot.
