Through the above - mentioned accompanying drawings, the specific embodiments of this application have been shown, and there will be more detailed descriptions hereinafter. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of this application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed implementation manners

[0061] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the implementation manners consistent with this application. On the contrary, they are only examples of the devices and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0062] See Figure 1 , during the process of a user using a cooking device, the cooking device needs to determine whether there are tableware (such as pots, bowls, etc.) above the heating panel to avoid safety accidents caused by heating without tableware.

[0063] In the related art, usually a pressure sensor is set inside the cooking device, and the pressure data above the cooking device is collected through the pressure sensor to identify whether there is tableware placed above the cooking device.

[0064] However, the cost of the pressure sensor is relatively high, and the pressure sensor cannot collect the sensing data of some utensils. Therefore, the detection accuracy obtained based on the pressure sensor is unstable, making the heating function of the cooking device unstable.

[0065] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a heating control circuit, a method, a cooking device, a storage medium, and a product. When the heating control circuit is powered on and the detection function is enabled, an infrared signal is emitted to a preset heating area. When the infrared reflection signal from the preset heating area is received, the infrared reflection signal is converted into a level signal, and a first preset voltage is sent to the preset heating area to heat the preset heating area. The detection result that there are tableware in the preset heating area can be directly determined based on the infrared reflection signal corresponding to the infrared signal, which is simple and fast, and at the same time improves the stability of detection.

[0066] In some embodiments, the heating control circuit 100 includes a detection circuit 101, a heating circuit 102, and a display circuit 103.

[0067] Figure 2 It is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the heating control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] See Figure 2 , the heating control circuit 100 includes a detection circuit 101, a heating circuit 102, and a display circuit 103. The detection circuit 101 is connected to the heating circuit 102, the heating circuit 102 is connected to the display circuit 103, and the heating control circuit 100 is connected to the power supply circuit 104.

[0069] Specifically, the power supply circuit 104 is used to supply power to the heating control circuit 100 when the switch is turned on. That is, it powers on the heating control circuit 100. The display circuit 103 is used to display function menus (such as prompt information for enabling the detection function, etc.), LED lights, etc.

[0070] The present application does not limit the specific implementation forms of the display circuit 103 and the power supply circuit 104, as long as the display circuit 103 has the function of display and the power supply circuit 104 has the function of supplying power to the heating control circuit 100.

[0071] The detection circuit 101 is used to conduct when the heating control circuit 100 is powered on and the detection function is enabled, and emit an infrared signal to a preset heating area;

[0072] The detection circuit 101 is further used to convert the infrared reflection signal into a level signal when the infrared reflection signal from the preset heating area is received, and send the level signal to the heating circuit 102.

[0073] Specifically, the preset heating area refers to an area for preset tableware to be heated and capable of providing a heating function.

[0074] Exemplarily, when the heating control circuit 100 is the heating control circuit 100 inside the cooking device, the preset heating area may indicate the heating area on the panel of the cooking device that is preset for placing the tableware to be heated.

[0075] Specifically, the detection function means a function of identifying whether there is tableware to be heated in the preset heating area by emitting an infrared signal to the preset area and determining whether an infrared reflection signal from the preset heating area is received. At this time, the tableware to be heated serves as a reflecting surface and can reflect the infrared reflection signal when the infrared reflection signal is received.

[0076] Specifically, when the infrared reflection signal is received, it is determined that there is tableware to be heated in the preset heating area. At this time, the infrared reflection signal is converted into a level signal. The level signal is used to control the heating circuit 102 to send a first preset voltage to the preset heating area to heat the preset heating area.

[0077] Optionally, the level signal is a low-level signal, or the level signal is a high-level signal.

[0078] It can be understood that when the infrared reflection signal from the preset heating area is not received, no level signal is sent to the heating circuit 102, so that the heating circuit 102 can be controlled to stop heating the preset heating area.

[0079] The heating circuit 102 is configured to send a first preset voltage to the preset heating area to heat the preset heating area when receiving the level signal.

[0080] Optionally, the heating circuit 102 can receive the level signal through a single-chip microcomputer pin.

[0081] This application does not limit the specific implementation form of the heating circuit 102, as long as the heating circuit 102 has the function of heating the preset heating area.

[0082] It can be understood that based on the infrared signal, tableware to be heated of any material can be detected. For example, the tableware to be heated can be a metal tableware or a non-metal tableware.

[0083] In some embodiments, the detection circuit 101 includes a transmitting tube 1011, a modulation circuit 1012, and a processing chip 1013.

[0084] Figure 3 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the heating control circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0085] See Figure 3, the heating control circuit 100 includes a detection circuit 101, a heating circuit 102, and a display circuit 103. The detection circuit 101 is connected to the heating circuit 102, the heating circuit 102 is connected to the display circuit 103, and the heating control circuit 100 is connected to the power supply circuit 104. The detection circuit includes a transmitting tube 1012, a modulation circuit 1012, a processing chip 1013, a receiving tube 1014, and a demodulation circuit 1015. Among them, the transmitting tube 1011 is connected to the modulation circuit 1012. The modulation circuit 1012 is connected to the processing chip 1013, the receiving tube 1014 is connected to the demodulation circuit 1015, and the demodulation circuit 1015 is connected to the processing chip 1013.

[0086] Among them, the modulation circuit 1012 is used to conduct when the heating control circuit 100 is powered on and the detection function is enabled, and send a first current signal to the transmitting tube 1011;

[0087] The transmitting tube 1011 is used to send an infrared signal to a preset heating area when receiving the first current signal.

[0088] Specifically, the first current signal can be used to control the transmitting tube to send an infrared signal to the preset heating area.

[0089] Based on this, when the detection function is enabled, the modulation circuit 1012 does not send the first current signal to the transmitting tube 1011, so that the transmitting tube 1011 does not send an infrared signal to the preset heating area, that is, the detection operation of whether there is a tableware to be heated in the preset heating area is not performed.

[0090] Optionally, the processing chip 1013 is a processor including multiple pins. The demodulation circuit 1015 is connected to the first pin, the second pin, and the third pin (DA) of the processing chip 1013, and the fourth pin of the processing chip 1013 is connected to the heating circuit 102.

[0091] The receiving tube 1014 is used to send to the demodulation circuit 1015 when receiving an infrared reflection signal;

[0092] The demodulation circuit 1015 is used to conduct when receiving an infrared reflection signal and send the infrared reflection signal to the processing chip 1013;

[0093] The processing chip 1013 is used to convert the infrared reflection signal into a level signal and send the level signal to the heating circuit 102 when receiving the infrared reflection signal.

[0094] Specifically, when the receiving tube 1014 receives the infrared reflection signal of the preset heating area, it is determined that there is tableware to be heated in the preset heating area, and the infrared reflection signal of the preset heating area is sent to the demodulation circuit 1015.

[0095] Specifically, the demodulation circuit 1015 sends the received infrared reflection signal to the processing chip 1013, so that the processing chip 1013 converts the infrared reflection signal into a level signal, and then controls the heating circuit 102 to heat a preset heating area according to the level signal.

[0096] In some embodiments, the modulation circuit 1012 in the detection circuit 101 includes a first capacitor 10121, a first triode 10122, and a second triode 10123.

[0097] Figure 4 One of the structural schematic diagrams of the detection circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0098] See Figure 4 , the detection circuit includes a transmitting tube 1012, a modulation circuit 1012, a processing chip 1013, a receiving tube 1014, and a demodulation circuit 1015. The modulation circuit 1012 includes a first capacitor 10121, a first triode 10122, and a second triode 10123. The first capacitor 10121 is connected to the processing chip 1013. The processing chip 1013 is connected to the first end of the first triode 10122. The second end of the first triode 10122 is connected to the first end of the transmitting tube 1011. The third end of the first triode 10122 is connected to the first end of the second triode 10123. The second end of the second triode 10123 is connected to the second end of the transmitting tube 1011. The receiving tube 1014 is connected to the demodulation circuit 1015, and the demodulation circuit 1015 is connected to the processing chip 1013.

[0099] The first capacitor 10121 is used to charge when the heating control circuit 100 is powered on and the detection function is enabled, and after the charging is completed, send a first current signal to the processing chip 1013;

[0100] The processing chip 1013 is used to send it to the first triode 10122 when receiving the first current signal;

[0101] The first triode 10122 is used to conduct when receiving the first current signal and send the first current signal to the second triode 10123;

[0102] The second triode 10123 is used to conduct when receiving the first current signal and send the first current signal to the transmitting tube 1011.

[0103] Specifically, when the heating control circuit 100 is powered on and the detection function is enabled, the first capacitor 10121 starts to charge. After the charging of the first capacitor 10121 is completed, it starts to discharge. At this time, the first capacitor 10121 sends a first current signal to the processing chip 1013. The processing chip 1013 sends a first current signal to the first triode 10122 to make it conduct, and sends a first current signal to the second triode 10123. The second triode 10123 conducts when receiving the first current signal and sends a first current signal to the emitting tube 1011. In this way, the emitting tube 1011 can be started through the above current transmission process, so as to send an infrared signal to the preset heating area through the emitting tube 1011.

[0104] In some embodiments, the emitting tube 1011 includes an infrared diode 10111, and the infrared diode 10111 is specifically configured to send a pulse signal to the preset heating area based on the first current signal when receiving the first current signal.

[0105] Optionally, the infrared signal can also be referred to as an infrared pulse signal. The discharge time of the first capacitor 10121 can be used as the width of the infrared pulse signal emitted by the emitting tube 1011. In the powered-on state, the first capacitor charges and discharges cyclically. Based on this, the emitting tube 1011 can emit infrared pulse signals cyclically.

[0106] Optionally, the emission frequency of the infrared pulse signal emitted by the emitting tube 1011 can be specifically set according to actual requirements.

[0107] In some embodiments, a receiving tube is configured to send to a demodulation circuit when receiving an infrared reflection signal;

[0108] The demodulation circuit is configured to conduct when receiving an infrared reflection signal and send the infrared reflection signal to the processing chip;

[0109] The processing chip is configured to convert the infrared reflection signal into a level signal and send the level signal to the heating circuit when receiving the infrared reflection signal.

[0110] In some embodiments, the demodulation circuit 1015 includes a third triode 10151, and the receiving tube 1014 includes an infrared photosensitive diode 10141.

[0111] Figure 5 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the detection circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0112] See Figure 5, the detection circuit 101 includes a transmitting tube 1012, a modulation circuit 1012, a processing chip 1013, a receiving tube 1014, and a demodulation circuit 1015. Among them, the transmitting tube 1012 is connected to the modulation circuit 1012, and the modulation circuit 1012 is connected to the processing chip 1013. The transmitting tube 1012 includes an infrared diode 10111, the receiving tube 1014 includes an infrared photosensitive diode 10151, the processing chip 1013 is connected to the first end of the infrared diode 10111, the first end of the third triode 10151, and the heating circuit 102, and the second end of the third triode 10151 is connected to the infrared photosensitive diode 10151.

[0113] The receiving tube is configured to send an infrared reflection signal to the third triode when receiving the infrared reflection signal;

[0114] The third triode is configured to conduct when receiving the infrared reflection signal and send the infrared reflection signal to the processing chip;

[0115] The processing chip is configured to convert the infrared reflection signal into a level signal and send it to the heating circuit when receiving the infrared reflection signal.

[0116] Specifically, when the receiving tube 1014 receives the infrared reflection signal of the preset heating area, it is determined that there is a tableware to be heated in the preset heating area. The receiving tube sends the infrared reflection signal to the third triode 10151 to make the third triode 10151 conduct, and sends the infrared reflection signal to the processing chip 1013. The processing chip 1013 converts the infrared reflection signal into a level signal and sends it to the heating circuit 102.

[0117] In some embodiments, the heating circuit is further configured to disconnect when not receiving the level signal and stop sending the first preset voltage to the preset heating area.

[0118] It can be understood that when the receiving tube 1014 does not receive the infrared reflection signal of the preset heating area, the third triode 10151 is not conducting. At this time, the processing chip 1013 cannot send the level signal to the heating circuit 102, and the heating circuit disconnects when not receiving the level signal, that is, it is impossible to heat the preset heating area through the heating circuit, avoiding safety accidents, thereby improving the safety while improving the detection accuracy.

[0119] Figure 6 It is a schematic structural diagram of the detection circuit 101 provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0120] See Figure 6 , the detection circuit 101 includes: a transmitting tube 1012, a modulation circuit 1012, a processing chip 1013 (such as Figure 6The U3 shown in [description], receiving tube 1014, demodulation circuit 1015.

[0125] Continue to refer to Figure 6 The detection circuit may further include an electrolytic filter capacitor C6, a clamping diode D6, and diodes D4, D5; resistors R10, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R20, R21, R22, R23, R24, R25, R26, R27, R28, R29; a triode Q6; capacitors C3, C4, C5, C8, etc. The above-mentioned components are all components used to implement the detection function in the detection circuit.

[0126] It can be understood that the parameters of the components shown in the detection circuit in Figure 6 such as the resistance value of the resistor and the capacitance of the capacitor, etc., can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0127] Except for the first capacitor 10121, the first triode 10122; the second triode 10123; the infrared diode 10111; the infrared photosensitive diode 10141; the third triode 10151, and the processing chip 1013, the quantity and type of other components can also be increased, decreased, replaced, etc. according to actual needs.

[0128] As Figure 6 The working process of the detection circuit 101 shown is as follows: When the heating control circuit 100 is powered on and the detection function is enabled, the modulation circuit 1012 is powered on, and the capacitor C7 starts to charge. After C7 finishes charging, it starts to discharge. At this time, the pin SB in the processing chip 1013 is set to 0, the pin RB is set to 1, the pin QB is set to 0, the pin CA = 0, the triode Q4 conducts, and the emitter P9 emits an infrared pulse signal. C7 cycles of charging and discharging, and the emitter P9 cycles of emitting infrared pulse signals.

At this time, OUT = 0 can indicate a level signal to control the heating circuit 102 to heat the preset heating area.

[0129] Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of the cooking device provided by the embodiment.

[0130] See Figure 7 , the cooking device includes a base, a detection function switch, a hob spring, a hob assembly, a support spring, a support, and a panel. A preset heating area is provided on the heating panel.

[0131] Among them, the hob spring, the hob assembly, the support spring, and the support are used to connect the panel and the base to support the panel. The panel is used to place the tableware to be heated.

[0132] Two handles are installed on the base, and a transmitting tube and a receiving tube are arranged near the handles. The transmitting tube is used to send an infrared signal to the preset heating area on the panel, and the receiving tube is used to receive the infrared reflection signal of the preset heating area.

[0133] The detection function switch is used to control the start and stop of the transmitting tube sending the infrared signal, and the start and stop of the receiving tube receiving the infrared reflection signal. A heating control circuit is laid at a position on the base corresponding to the preset heating area. The base is also provided with a fan, and the fan is used to dissipate heat from the base.

[0134] Optionally, the transmitting tube and the receiving tube can be arranged in an area on the panel other than the preset heating area. The transmitting tube and the receiving tube are parallel to the panel, and the distance between the transmitting tube, the receiving tube and the preset heating area can be greater than a first threshold value, and the first threshold value can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first threshold value is 2 cm, or the first threshold value is 30 cm. The installation height of the transmitting tube and the receiving tube should be lower than the height of the tableware to be heated.

[0135] In some embodiments, the heating circuit 102 is further configured to send a second preset voltage to the preset heating area when receiving a level signal and the working state of the heating circuit 102 is in the heat preservation state; the second preset voltage is less than the first preset voltage.

[0136] Specifically, when the heating control circuit 100 is powered on and the detection function is turned on, the working state of the heating circuit 102 can include a heating state and a heat preservation state.

[0137] Among them, when the working state of the heating circuit 102 is in the heating state and a level signal is received, the heating circuit 102 sends a first preset voltage to the preset heating area to heat the preset heating area.

[0138] Specifically, when the working state of the heating circuit 102 is in the heat preservation state and a level signal is received, the heating circuit 102 sends a second preset voltage less than the first preset voltage to the preset heating area to keep the tableware in the preset heating area warm.

[0139] It can be understood that when a level signal is received and the preset heating area is heated through the heating circuit 102, it is possible to continue to determine whether to stop heating by whether a level signal is received. That is, during the heating process, if a level signal is continuously received, the preset heating area continues to be heated. During the heating process, if the reception of the level signal stops, the heating of the preset heating area stops.

[0140] Optionally, the heating control circuit further includes a standby state. In the standby state, if a level signal is received, it enters the working state and starts the heating function to heat the preset heating area. If a level signal is received, it enters the prohibited heating state and stops heating the preset heating area.

[0141] In this application, when the heating control circuit is powered on and the detection function is enabled, an infrared signal is emitted to the preset heating area. When the infrared reflection signal of the preset heating area is received, the infrared reflection signal is converted into a level signal. When the working state of the heating circuit is in the heat preservation state, a second preset voltage is sent to the preset heating area to keep the preset heating area warm. The detection result of the presence of tableware in the preset heating area can be directly determined based on the infrared reflection signal corresponding to the infrared signal, improving the stability of detection while improving the control of the heating degree of the preset heating area and enhancing the user experience.

[0163] Specifically, the above steps can be implemented by the heating circuit 102 in the heating control circuit 100.

[0164] The heating control method provided by the embodiment of the present application emits an infrared signal to a preset heating area when the heating control circuit is powered on and the detection function is enabled. When an infrared reflection signal from the preset heating area is received, the infrared reflection signal is converted into a level signal, and a first preset voltage is sent to the preset heating area to heat the preset heating area. The detection result that there are tableware in the preset heating area can be directly determined based on the infrared reflection signal corresponding to the infrared signal, which is simple and fast, and improves the stability of detection.
