[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] The inventors have proposed a cooking control method, device, equipment and storage medium provided by an embodiment of the present application. The cooking control method is applied to a cooking device, and the cooking device includes a pot body, and a cooking pot, a heating device and a circulation fan located in 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 a first cooking stage; obtaining the steam temperature in the cooking pot; if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold and less than a second temperature threshold, controlling the circulation fan to operate; if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, controlling the cooking device to enter a second cooking stage, and the power of the heating device in the second cooking stage is less than that in the first cooking stage. Thus, when the steam temperature in the cooking device is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, the circulation fan is controlled to rotate. At this time, when the steam temperature is close to the first temperature threshold, the rotation of the circulation fan can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to achieve the effect of removing the stale smell from the food, and the rotation of the circulation fan can also stir the liquid and food (such as rice grains) in the cooking pot so that the food can roll in the liquid. The circulation fan can also accelerate the heat exchange between the upper and lower layers by stirring the rice-water mixture with the wind, so that the food is heated more evenly, and the problem of local undercooking of the food is improved. When the steam temperature is close to the second temperature threshold, bubbles are likely to be generated in the cooking pot at this time, and the rotation of the circulation fan can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to break the bubbles.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2, 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 faces the mouth of the cooking pot 120, so that 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 prevent the generation of bubbles.

[0027] Among them, the cooking device 100 can be an air fryer, an oven, a rice cooker, a stewing pot, an electric pressure cooker, a steam rice cooker, etc., and the present application does not limit this. For ease of description, the following takes the cooking device 100 as an air fryer as an example for explanation.

[0028] 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, and 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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 in the heating space.

[0031] 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 in the cooking pot 120 is more easily heated.

[0032] 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.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the number of the heating devices 130 can be multiple, and 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, and 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 can further include a motor. The motor can be installed inside the pot lid body 113, and the drive shaft of the motor can extend outside the pot lid body 113. The circulation fan 140 can be connected to the drive shaft, so that the motor can control the rotation of the circulation fan 140.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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 steam loss during cooking of the cooking device 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 can further include a temperature detection unit. The temperature detection unit can be provided inside the cooking space 121. For example, the temperature detection unit can be provided on the pot lid body 113, so that the temperature detection unit can obtain the steam temperature inside the cooking pot 120.

[0041] Among them, the temperature detection unit can be a temperature detection device such as a temperature sensor or a thermometer.

[0042] In some embodiments, an exhaust hole can be provided on the pot body 110. The exhaust hole can discharge the steam inside the cooking space 121 to play a role in relieving pressure. The temperature detection unit can be located inside the exhaust hole, so that the temperature detection unit can obtain the steam temperature inside the cooking pot 120.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cooking device 100 may further include a controller. The controller may be located within the cooking pot 110 and may be configured to control the operating states of the circulation fan 140 and the heating device 130. The controller may also obtain the detection values of the temperature detection unit and control the operating states of the circulation fan 140 and the heating device 130 based on the detection values, and so on. The controller may be used to execute any one of the steps in the cooking control methods of the following embodiments.

[0044] Among them, the controller may be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), an MPU (Microprocessor Unit), a CPU (Central Processing Unit), etc.

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

[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 first cooking stage.

[0047] 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 thus obtain the cooking signal. For example, the cooking device may be provided with an interaction panel, and the user may 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 may also trigger the cooking signal by sending a preset specific voice, infrared control, sending a specific instruction through a mobile terminal, and so on.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the cooking signal is received, the cooking device enters the cooking mode.

[0049] In some embodiments, after the cooking is completed, the cooking device may also send a prompt of the completion of cooking to the user. For example, after the cooking is completed, a prompt sound, voice broadcast, light flashing, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, the heating device may heat the cooking pot by means of electromagnetic heating, heating chassis heating, heating tube heating, etc., and the present application does not limit this.

[0051] In step 020, obtain the steam temperature inside the cooking pot.

[0052] Among them, 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 it 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.

[0053] It can be understood that the steam temperature is generally lower than the temperature of the liquid in the cooking pot. By obtaining the steam temperature in the implementation manner of the present application, it can be ensured that the temperature of the liquid in the cooking pot is higher than the detected steam temperature, thereby improving the error tolerance rate of the cooking control method.

[0054] In step 030, if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, control the circulation fan to operate.

[0055] In the implementation manner of the present application, after the heating device heats the cooking pot, the cooking device enters the first cooking stage, obtains the steam temperature, and judges the steam temperature. When the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, control the circulation fan to operate. At this time, if the steam temperature is at a temperature close to the first temperature threshold, the rotation of the circulation fan can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to achieve the effect of removing the stale air from the food, and the rotation of the circulation fan can also stir the liquid and food (such as rice grains) in the cooking pot, so that the food can roll in the liquid. The circulation fan can also accelerate the heat exchange between the upper and lower layers by stirring the rice-water mixture with wind, so that the food is heated more evenly and the problem of local undercooking of the food is improved. When the steam temperature is close to the second temperature threshold, bubbles are likely to be generated in the cooking pot at this time, and the rotation of the circulation fan can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to break the bubbles.

[0056] In some implementation manners, the second temperature threshold is greater than the first temperature threshold.

[0057] In some implementation manners, when the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, it is determined that the cooking device is in the first cooking stage. At this time, the operating power of the heating device is relatively large and bubbles are likely to be generated. The circulation fan rotates in the first cooking stage to drive the air flow in the cooking pot, thereby avoiding the generation of bubbles.

[0058] In some implementation manners, the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold can be preset according to the actual situation. The first temperature threshold can be 35 °C, and the second temperature threshold can be 80 °C. When the steam temperature is greater than or equal to 35 °C and less than 80 °C, for example, when the steam temperature is 35 °C, 50 °C, 68 °C, 71 °C or 79 °C, the cooking device controls the circulation fan to start rotating.

[0059] In addition, the cooking device can also adjust the working mode of the circulation fan according to the steam temperature.

[0060] Specifically, in some embodiments, the cooking control method further includes the steps:

[0061] If the steam temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, control the circulation fan to operate in the first mode.

[0062] In addition, step 030 may include: if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, control the circulation fan to operate in the second mode.

[0063] Wherein, the average rotational speed of the circulation fan in the second mode is greater than that in the first mode.

[0064] In some embodiments, the difference between the first mode and the second mode may be the difference in rotational speed or the difference in operating power. For example, the rotational speed of the circulation fan in the second mode is greater than that in the first mode.

[0065] After the cooking device obtains the cooking signal, it controls the heating device to start heating the cooking pot and controls the circulation fan to start rotating. In order to reduce the power consumption of the circulation fan, when the cooking device has not entered the first cooking stage and it is difficult for the liquid in the cooking pot to generate bubbles, at this time, the cooking device can reduce the rotational speed of the circulation fan, reduce the energy consumption of the cooking device, and the circulation fan operates in the first working mode, and the rotational speed of the circulation fan at this time is the first rotational speed. When the cooking device enters the first cooking stage, in order to provide a greater wind force, the cooking device can increase the rotational speed of the circulation fan. The wind force provided by the circulation fan is greater, and a better effect of removing stale air can be achieved, and the surface tension of the bubbles can be broken more quickly, which helps to prevent the liquid from generating bubbles or breaking the generated bubbles. At this time, the circulation fan operates in the second working mode, and the rotational speed of the circulation fan is the second rotational speed, and the second rotational speed is greater than the first rotational speed.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first rotational speed and the second rotational speed can be preset according to requirements. Optionally, the first rotational speed can be less than 2000 rpm. For example, the first rotational speed can be set to 1900 rpm, 1800 rpm, or 1650 rpm, etc. The second rotational speed can be greater than or equal to 2000 rpm and less than or equal to 5000 rpm. For example, the second rotational speed can be set to 2000 rpm, 3500 rpm, or 5000 rpm, etc.

[0067] It can be understood that when the cooking device has not entered the first cooking stage, the energy consumption of the cooking device can be further reduced.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments, the cooking control method further includes the steps:

[0069] If the steam temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, control the circulation fan to stop working.

[0070] When the cooking device does not enter the first cooking stage, that is, when the steam temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, it is difficult for the liquid in the cooking pot to generate bubbles, and the circulation fan can stop working to reduce the energy consumption of the cooking device. In addition, stopping the circulation fan can also reduce heat loss, enabling the cooking device to enter the first cooking stage faster and improving the cooking speed of the cooking device.

[0071] In the cooking control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the steam temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, the cooking device determines that it has not entered the first cooking stage at this time, and it is difficult for the liquid in the cooking pot to generate bubbles. To reduce energy consumption, the circulation fan can work or not work. And when the circulation fan works, it works in the first mode with lower power consumption to stir the air or liquid in the cooking pot, so that the food can be heated more evenly, which helps to remove the stale smell from the food and can improve the problem of local undercooking of the food.

[0072] In addition, the cooking device can also adjust the working cycle of the circulation fan in the first cooking stage.

[0073] Specifically, in some embodiments, controlling the circulation fan to work in the second mode in step 030 above may include controlling the circulation fan to rotate periodically. That is to say, step 030 may include: if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, controlling the circulation fan to rotate periodically.

[0074] When the cooking device is in the first cooking stage, it takes a certain amount of time for the liquid in the cooking pot to generate bubbles. Therefore, the cooking device can control the circulation fan to work periodically, which can not only reduce the generation of bubbles, but also reduce the energy consumption of the cooking device.

[0075] In some embodiments, the periodic rotation of the circulation fan may mean working at a preset interval duration.

[0076] As an example, the interval duration can be 10 seconds, and the circulation fan starts once every 10 seconds.

[0077] As another example, the interval duration can be 20 seconds, and the circulation fan starts once every 20 seconds.

[0078] In some embodiments, controlling the cyclic rotation of the circulation fan in step 030 may include controlling the circulation fan to rotate for a first duration and then stop rotating for a second duration, where the rotation and stop of the circulation fan alternate. That is, step 030 may include: if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold and less than a second temperature threshold, controlling the circulation fan to rotate for a first duration and then stop rotating for a second duration, where the rotation and stop of the circulation fan alternate.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first duration and the second duration may be preset.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first duration and the second duration may be equal or unequal. The first duration may be greater than the second duration, or the first duration may be less than the second duration.

[0081] As an example, the first duration may be 10 seconds and the second duration may be 10 seconds, then the circulation fan alternately operates according to a time cycle of rotating for 10 seconds and stopping for 10 seconds.

[0082] As another example, the first duration may be 10 seconds and the second duration may be 20 seconds, then the circulation fan alternately operates according to a time cycle of rotating for 10 seconds and stopping for 20 seconds.

[0083] In step 040, if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, control the cooking device to enter the second cooking stage.

[0084] Wherein, the power of the heating device in the second cooking stage is less than that in the first cooking stage.

[0085] When the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the first cooking stage is completed and the cooking device enters the second cooking stage. Understandably, at this time, the circulation fan may stop working or operate according to the operation mode of the second cooking stage.

[0086] In some embodiments, the cooking device may have multiple cooking stages during cooking. Taking cooking rice as an example, the cooking device may successively have a detection stage, a temperature rising stage, a boiling stage, a simmering stage, etc. during cooking rice. The cooking device may detect whether the water level in the cooking pot exceeds the water level line, or whether the lid body and the pot body are tightly covered, or whether the exhaust hole is blocked, etc. in the detection stage. Among them, the first cooking stage may refer to the temperature rising stage, and the second cooking stage may refer to the boiling stage.

[0087] In some embodiments, the heating power of the heating device in multiple cooking stages may be different. For example, the heating power of the heating device in the temperature rising stage may be greater than that in other cooking stages.

[0088] Understandably, during the temperature-rising stage, in order to enable the food to enter the boiling stage faster, the heating device operates at full power or near full power, and the heating power of the heating device is relatively high. When the steam temperature approaches the second temperature threshold, bubbles are likely to be generated in the cooking pot. The cooking device can control the circulation fan to operate to stir the air in the cooking pot and reduce or destroy the generation of bubbles.

[0089] 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 first cooking stage; obtaining the steam temperature in the cooking pot; if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, controlling the circulation fan to operate; if the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, controlling the cooking device to enter the second cooking stage, and the power of the heating device in the second cooking stage is less than that in the first cooking stage. Thus, when the steam temperature of the cooking device is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, the circulation fan is controlled to rotate. At this time, if the steam temperature is at a temperature close to the first temperature threshold, the rotation of the circulation fan can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to achieve the effect of removing the stale air from the food, and the rotation of the circulation fan can also stir the liquid and food (such as rice grains) in the cooking pot, so that the food can roll in the liquid, making the food heated more evenly and improving the problem of local undercooking of the food. When the steam temperature approaches the second temperature threshold, bubbles are likely to be generated in the cooking pot at this time, and the rotation of the circulation fan can drive the air flow in the cooking pot to destroy the bubbles.

[0090] In some embodiments, the cooking control method may further include the following steps:

[0091] (1) If the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, obtain the heating duration of the heating device.

[0092] (2) If the heating duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, control the cooking device to enter the second cooking stage.

[0093] When the cooking device is cooking, by simultaneously monitoring the steam temperature and the heating duration, the working stage of the cooking device can be determined more accurately to more accurately control the working state of the circulation fan.

[0094] Specifically, when the cooking device is cooking, when the steam temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, due to a certain difference between the steam temperature and the actual temperature of the liquid in the cooking pot, or due to the aging or damage of the temperature detection unit, the detected steam temperature may not be accurate enough, resulting in a situation where the control of the circulation fan may be incorrect. At this time, the cooking device can determine the cooking stage of the cooking device according to the heating duration of the heating device. When the heating duration reaches the preset duration, the cooking device determines that the first cooking stage has been completed. At this time, the cooking device is in the second cooking stage, and the control circulates the fan to stop working, or works in the operating mode of the second cooking stage.

[0095] In some embodiments, the heating duration can be preset according to requirements. Optionally, the heating duration can be greater than or equal to 30 min and less than or equal to 50 min. For example, the heating duration can be 30 min, 35 min, 43 min, or 50 min, etc.

[0096] In some embodiments, the cooking control method may further include the steps of:

[0097] If the heating duration is less than the preset duration, re-obtain the steam temperature in the cooking pot.

[0098] When the heating duration is less than the preset duration, the cooking device determines that it should still be in the first cooking stage at this time, and bubbles may still appear in the cooking pot. The cooking device re-obtains the steam temperature. At this time, the circulation fan is still in the working state, which helps to break the bubbles in the cooking pot.
