[0002] Rice is one of the staple foods with the largest consumption in people's daily life, and the need to cook rice exists in almost all kitchen scenarios. In the existing technologies, there are various rice cookers or other rice cooking and steaming devices. These devices can generally achieve the full process of automatically cooking rice.

[0003] However, when making rice, these devices first soak the rice for a period of time to make the rice fully absorb water, and then use a fixed power or heating curve to heat the rice. This method takes a relatively long time to complete cooking. However, with the accelerating pace of people's life and work, the cooking time is correspondingly shortened, and thus people also hope to be able to cook the rice quickly. The existing rice making methods are difficult to effectively meet the demand for rapid rice cooking. Summary of the Invention

It should be noted that the following embodiments can refer to, draw on, or combine with each other. For the same terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments, they will not be described repeatedly.

[0022] The fast rice cooking control method, rice cooker, storage medium, and product provided by the present application are intended to solve at least one technical problem existing in the prior art.

[0023] Optionally, the device for executing the fast rice cooking control method of the present application can be a rice cooker. The rice cooker can be provided with a rice cooking button, and the user inputs a rice cooking instruction by pressing the rice cooking button. The rice cooker can also be provided with a voice collection module and a voice recognition module. The voice collection module collects the user's voice information, and the voice recognition module recognizes the voice information and outputs a recognition result. If the rice cooker obtains a fast rice cooking instruction based on the recognition result, it will execute the fast rice cooking control method of the present application according to the fast rice cooking instruction.

[0024] Optionally, a touch screen can also be set on the rice cooker to collect the user's fast rice cooking instruction through the touch screen. It can also be provided with a wireless communication module or a wired communication module to connect to the network through these communication modules, so as to receive the fast rice cooking instruction transmitted by the user or other objects through the network.

[0025] Optionally, as Figures 1 - 3As shown, the fast rice cooking control method of the present application includes: S101: In response to a fast rice cooking instruction, raise the temperature of the rice after adding water to a first temperature.

[0026] Optionally, when responding to the fast rice cooking instruction, it is possible to first detect whether there is rice and water for cooking in the rice cooker. If it is determined that there is, continue to execute; if it is determined that there is none, the user can be reminded to add rice and water. Among them, an image of the inner pot of the rice cooker can be collected, and whether there is rice and water can be recognized based on this image. It is also possible to detect the weight of the inner pot and determine whether this weight is higher than the weight of the inner pot. If so, it is determined that there is, and the temperature increase operation is executed.

[0027] Optionally, raising the temperature of the rice after adding water to a first temperature includes: obtaining the rice quantity information in the rice cooker, controlling the rice cooker to heat the rice at a first power or a first average power according to the rice quantity information, and detecting the current temperature of the rice during the heating process; if it is determined that the current temperature reaches the first temperature or the heating time reaches a second preset time, the heating at the first power or the first average power ends, and the second preset time corresponds to the moisture transfer rate of the rice.

[0028] Optionally, the rice cooker can use power control devices such as thyristors to adjust the power during cooking. It is also possible to control the rice cooker to heat at a fixed power (such as full power), and use switching devices such as diodes to control the heating element of the rice cooker to be intermittently powered on for heating. At this time, the average value of the power of the rice cooker at different stages during cooking can be called the average power. Correspondingly, the first power can be the power of the rice cooker during rice cooking when using a power control device to adjust the power, and the first average power can be the average value of the power of the rice cooker during the stage of rising to the first temperature calculated based on the intermittent power-on of the heating element.

[0029] Optionally, the temperature of the rice can be obtained by detecting the temperature of the inner pot. The sensor for detecting the temperature can be set on the side wall or bottom of the groove of the rice cooker for accommodating the inner pot, or on the side of the lid facing the inner pot, and the value of the steam or the water temperature in the inner pot detected by this sensor is determined as the temperature of the rice.

[0030] Optionally, the first temperature is higher than the gelatinization temperature of the starch in the rice and lower than the denaturation temperature of the protein in the rice. Among them, the protein can be objects such as prolamin and glutelin with a relatively high denaturation temperature compared to the starch gelatinization temperature.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first temperature can be 80 degrees Celsius, or it can also be 71, 73, 75, and other objects that are higher than the gelatinization temperature of the starch (such as amylose or amylopectin) in the rice and lower than the protein denaturation temperature in the rice.

[0032] Optionally, due to partial differences in the starch content, protein content, and characteristics of different types of rice, when performing a temperature increase operation in response to a quick cooking instruction, the type information of the rice to be heated can be obtained, and the value of the first temperature can be obtained from the pre-stored corresponding relationship according to this type information, and the temperature increase operation can be performed based on this value. Among them, the corresponding relationship can include the first temperature corresponding to different types of rice.

[0033] Optionally, different first powers or first average powers can be set for different rice quantity information, so that the rice under different rice quantity information can be heated to the first temperature at the same temperature increase rate within the second preset time.

[0034] Optionally, the first power or the first average power can also be the full power (rated power) of the rice cooker, and the temperature of the rice can be quickly increased to the first temperature by heating at the full power.

[0035] Optionally, obtaining the rice quantity information in the rice cooker includes: controlling the rice cooker to heat the rice at a preset power within a preset time, and obtaining the steam information corresponding to the rice; determining the current rice quantity information according to the steam information. Among them, the preset time can be 1 min and other time lengths that can obtain accurate steam information.

[0036] Optionally, the steam information can include at least one of the steam generation rate and the steam temperature. A sensor for detecting steam can be set inside the lid of the rice cooker, and this sensor can be used to collect the steam information. Moreover, the rice cooker can pre-store the rice quantity information corresponding to different steam information, and after detecting the steam information, the rice quantity information can be found from the pre-stored corresponding relationship between the steam information and the rice quantity information.

[0037] Optionally, the rice quantity information can be the weight information of the rice in the inner pot, or the total weight information or volume information of the rice and water in the inner pot.

[0038] Optionally, after obtaining the rice quantity information, the obtained rice quantity information can also be displayed, and it can be detected whether a rice quantity adjustment instruction input by the user is received, and the rice quantity information can be adjusted according to this rice quantity adjustment instruction. The first power or the first average power is obtained based on the adjusted rice quantity information.

[0039] Optionally, the determination of the first power or the first average power includes: determining the heating power corresponding to the current rice quantity information according to the pre-stored corresponding information between the rice quantity information and the heating power, and determining the heating power as the first power or the first average power.

[0040] Optionally, the temperature of the rice can be set to reach a first temperature after a second preset time. After determining the first power or the first average power, the rice cooker is controlled to heat the rice based on the first power or the first average power. And during the heating process, it can be detected whether the temperature rising rate of the rice is a preset rate. If the deviation from the preset temperature rising rate is too large (for example, the difference between the actual temperature increase value in 10 seconds and the temperature increase value corresponding to the preset rate in 10 seconds is greater than 2 °C), the power of the rice cooker is adjusted according to this deviation (for example, when the temperature rising rate is greater than the preset temperature rising rate, the power is reduced; when the temperature rising rate is less than the preset temperature rising rate, the power is increased) so that it can reach the first temperature after the second preset time.

[0041] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the initial temperature of the rice and water can be 25 degrees Celsius. The stage where the rice cooker raises the temperature of the rice at the first power or the first average power can be a rapid temperature rise stage, which is represented as stage one in the figure. The length of the second preset time can be 2.5 minutes. The rice cooker can heat at a stable power, so that the temperature of the rice in the rice cooker rises to the first temperature at a stable speed. Specifically, the first temperature can be 80 °C. Through the heating operation in this rapid temperature rise stage, the temperature of the rice can rise rapidly, heat is transferred from the outside of the rice grains to the inside, and while heating, the rice grains begin to absorb water and starch gelatinization begins.

[0042] S102: Maintain the first temperature within a first preset time.

[0043] Optionally, the stage of maintaining the first temperature can be called the starch gelatinization stage. To ensure that the rice absorbs enough water in these two stages and avoid the situation of undercooked rice. The sum of the first preset time and the second preset time can be higher than or equal to the minimum water absorption time of the rice to balance the heat transfer and water transfer rates.

[0044] Optionally, the first preset time can be calculated according to the water absorption rate requirements in the rapid temperature rise stage and the starch gelatinization stage (for example, the water absorption rate in the rapid temperature rise stage reaches 10 - 15%, and the water absorption rate in the starch gelatinization stage is greater than 60%) and the water absorption rate of the rice, and then the length of the first preset time and the second preset time are determined. Furthermore, the magnitude of the first power or the first average power is determined according to the length of the second preset time. Among them, the water absorption rate requirements can be preset or input by the user according to actual needs. The water absorption rate requirements corresponding to different types of rice in different stages can be different.

[0045] Optionally, maintaining the first temperature within the first preset time includes: determining that the temperature rise ends, and then performing a power adjustment operation on the rice cooker to maintain the temperature of the rice at the first temperature. The power adjustment operation includes intermittent turning on of the heating element.

[0046] Optionally, the rice cooker can also be controlled to heat the rice at a preset power, and the temperature change of the rice within a predetermined period of time (such as 30 seconds) is detected (such as rising by 3°C or falling by 2°C). Based on this temperature change and the rice quantity information, the power required for the current rice cooker to maintain the first temperature is obtained. Among them, the temperature change values when heating at a preset power during the starch gelatinization stage for different rice quantity information and the corresponding maintaining power for the rice quantity information and temperature change values can be pre-stored. The maintaining power corresponding to the current temperature change situation and rice quantity information is found according to the pre-stored corresponding relationship information, and the rice cooker is controlled to work based on this maintaining power.

[0047] Optionally, granular starch granules are accumulated inside the rice grains. As Figure 3 shown, the surface of the starch granules is wrapped by proteins. By heating at the first temperature, the denaturation of the proteins on the surface of the starch granules is avoided, and the starch gelatinization inside the granules can be achieved.

[0048] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the first temperature can be 80°C. After the rapid heating stage ends, it enters the starch gelatinization stage, which can be represented by the dotted line separated area corresponding to the text "two" in the figure. In this stage, the rice cooker is controlled to be in the heat preservation state, so that the temperature of the rice is at the first temperature or the deviation from the first temperature is not greater than a preset value (such as 2°C). In this starch gelatinization stage, the rice is in a state where the starch is gelatinized but the protein is not denatured. Therefore, the structure of the protein in the rice does not change, and a protein film that hinders the entry of water is not formed on the surface of the starch granules (as Figure 3 shown), so that the rice grains can continue to absorb heat and absorb water, and the starch inside the rice grains is gelatinized and the rice grains expand. Specifically, the length of the first preset time corresponding to this starch gelatinization stage can be 5 minutes, and this stage starts at 2.5 minutes and ends at 7.5 minutes.

[0049] S103: Raise the temperature of the rice to the second temperature and maintain the second temperature within the second time to obtain the target cooked rice.

[0050] Optionally, the second temperature is higher than the denaturation temperature of the protein. To further improve the cooking speed, the second temperature can be 100°C or the same as the boiling temperature of water.

[0051] Optionally, raising the temperature of the rice to the second temperature includes: controlling the rice cooker to heat the rice at the second power (power control is performed through a power control device such as a thyristor, and the heating element is not powered off) or the second average power (the heating element is intermittently powered on to control the heat generation amount). The heating rate of the rice at the second power or the second average power is higher than the heating rate corresponding to the first power or the first average power, and the second temperature corresponds to the boiling temperature of the water in the rice cooker.

[0052] Optionally, to increase the heating rate of the rice, the rice cooker can be controlled to heat the rice at full power so that the temperature of the rice reaches the second temperature as soon as possible. The second power or the second average power can also be set to be greater than the first power or the first average power.

[0053] Optionally, due to the influence of atmospheric pressure, the boiling temperature of water may change. When heating the rice at the second power or the second average power, the current temperature of the rice can be detected, and the heating rate of the rice can be obtained based on the current temperature. If it is determined that the heating rate is lower than the preset rate (such as 1°C / 10 seconds) or equal to 0, even if the current temperature has not reached the set second temperature (such as 100°C), it can be determined that the second temperature has been reached currently and the set second temperature can be modified to the current temperature.

[0054] Optionally, maintaining the second temperature within the second time includes: continuously heating the rice and maintaining the temperature of the rice stable at the second temperature; if it is determined that the current meets the end condition, the operation of maintaining the second temperature is ended, and the end condition includes at least one of completing cooking and the maintenance time reaching the third preset time.

[0055] Optionally, the temperature change of the rice can be detected in real time. If it is detected that the temperature suddenly rises (such as rising 1°C within 10 seconds), it can be determined that cooking is completed. The steam change information can also be obtained, and it can be judged whether cooking is completed according to the steam change information. For example, when the generated amount of steam is lower than the preset amount, it is determined that cooking is completed. An image of the rice in the inner pot can also be taken. If it is determined according to the image that no water covering the rice is detected or no bubbles are generated, it is determined that cooking is completed.

[0056] Optionally, the third preset time can be determined according to the time required for all proteins to denature and the length of the second preset time. After it is determined that the time for maintaining the second temperature reaches the third preset time, the operation of maintaining the second temperature is ended.

[0057] In one embodiment, the stage of maintaining the second temperature can be referred to as the stage of sufficient starch gelatinization and protein denaturation. As Figure 2 shown, this stage can be represented as the area separated by the dotted line indicated by the word "three" in the figure. In this stage, the temperature of the rice is greater than the protein denaturation temperature, the proteins in the rice are denatured, and the starch continues to gelatinize, and finally the target cooked rice is obtained. The third preset time corresponding to this stage can be 10 minutes. By heating at the first temperature first and then at the second temperature, the rice grains can be cooked inside first and then outside, fully balancing the heat transfer and moisture transfer rates and accelerating the cooking rate of the rice.

[0058] Optionally, after obtaining the target rice, it is also possible to detect whether an instruction to end cooking is received. If the instruction is received, the cooking operation is stopped and the rice is no longer heated. If it is determined that the instruction is not received, the rice can enter the warming stage or the simmering stage, reduce the heating power, and maintain the temperature of the target rice within a predetermined temperature range, which can be lower than the second temperature, lower than the first temperature, or the first temperature can be within this temperature range.

[0059] In one embodiment, the cooking experiment data of the rice cooker (referred to as the test machine) applying the method of the present application and the existing commercially available rice cooker are shown in Table 1, and the sensory scores of the cooked rice are shown in Table 2. Among them, in Table 1, the cooking time of the rice cooker is the same, the type of rice used is the same, the weight is the same (such as 300 grams), the rice washing method is the same, the rice washing time is the same, the rice-water ratio is the same (such as the rice-water ratio is 1:1.4), the water used is the same and the cooking environment is the same (such as the same location). When cooking with normal temperature water, the water temperature is 25°C. The indicators and scores in Table 1 and Table 2 are determined based on the rice cooker cooking rice quality evaluation method issued by the China Household Electrical Appliances Association based on the industry standard T / CHEAA 0002—2018.

[0062] It can be seen from the content of the above table that compared with the fast cooking mode of the existing rice cooker, the cooking speed of this solution is faster, the score of the cooked rice is better, the quality of the rice is better, and the cooking efficiency and cooking experience effect are effectively improved.

[0063] The fast cooking control method of the present application responds to a fast cooking instruction, raises the temperature of the rice after adding water to the first temperature, where the first temperature is higher than the gelatinization temperature of the starch in the rice and lower than the denaturation temperature of the protein in the rice; maintains the first temperature within the first preset time; raises the temperature of the rice to the second temperature and maintains the second temperature within the second time to obtain the target rice, where the second temperature is higher than the denaturation temperature of the protein. The embodiments of the present application can eliminate the soaking stage in cooking and use the temperature changes in different stages to ensure that the rice grains can absorb water and be quickly cooked during the cooking process, effectively shortening the cooking time and improving the cooking efficiency, thereby improving the cooking experience effect.
