Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and specifically to a cooking control method, device, cooking equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With the popularization of steam ovens and the development of related technologies, their functions are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Traditional steam ovens typically adopt a three-layer structure (top, middle, and bottom) and can process a large amount of food at the same time. However, these products have the limitation of single-function cooking, meaning that only one mode, either steaming or baking, can be selected within the same cavity. They cannot achieve simultaneous operation of steaming and baking functions, which not only limits the utilization of the equipment space but also fails to fully realize its performance potential. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a cooking control method, device, cooking equipment and storage medium to solve the problem that only one mode of steaming or baking can be selected in the same cavity, and the simultaneous operation of steaming and baking functions cannot be realized.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a cooking control method applied to a cooking device, the cooking device including at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, and a steam generating device, wherein the cooking device cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer, the first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, and the second heat dissipation device and the steam generating device are installed on the steaming layer, the method comprising: acquiring the baking time of a target baking recipe and the steaming time of a target steaming recipe set by the user, and calculating the difference between the baking time and the steaming time as a separate cooking time period, wherein after the separate cooking time period ends, a common cooking time period begins, the common cooking time period being the minimum of the baking time and the steaming time; if the baking time is greater than the steaming time, controlling the heating device to operate within the baking time period, so that... The baking layer is maintained at the target baking temperature. During a separate cooking time period, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted to maintain the baking layer within a preset first initial temperature and humidity range. During a combined cooking time period, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted to maintain the baking layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. Alternatively, if the steaming time is longer than the baking time, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted during the steaming time to maintain the baking layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. During a separate cooking time period, the operating power of the first heat dissipation device is adjusted to maintain the baking layer within a preset second initial temperature range. During a combined cooking time period, the heating device is controlled to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature.
[0005] The cooking control method provided in this embodiment is applied to a cooking device, which includes at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, and a steam generator. The cooking device cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer. The first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, and the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator are installed on the steaming layer. The difference between the baking time and the steaming time is calculated as a separate cooking time period, and a common cooking time period is entered after the separate cooking time period ends. The first cooking layer with a longer cooking time can be controlled to work first, and the temperature and / or humidity of the second cooking layer can be controlled to maintain within the initial temperature range to avoid the food in the second cooking layer being affected by heat radiation, resulting in poor cooking effect. During the common cooking time period, the baking layer and the steaming layer work together, and the two cooking layers are controlled to maintain their respective target temperatures and / or target humidity to ensure that the food is cooked. This achieves a true layered steaming and baking function, improves space utilization and cooking efficiency, and eliminates the problem of heat interference. It also reduces the material and structural requirements of the layered partitions.
[0006] In one optional implementation, calculating the difference between the baking time and the steaming time as a separate cooking time period includes: determining whether the absolute value of the difference between the baking time and the steaming time is greater than a preset difference threshold; if the absolute value of the difference is not greater than the preset difference threshold, then the difference between the baking time and the steaming time is used as a separate cooking time period.
[0007] In one optional implementation, the method further includes: if the absolute value of the difference is greater than a preset difference threshold, sending a prompt message to the user indicating that the cooking time difference is too large.
[0008] This invention first determines whether the cooking time of the selected dishes on the two cooking layers differs too much. If the difference is too large, it is not recommended to use the simultaneous steaming and baking function to avoid increasing energy consumption due to prolonged heat dissipation for cooling, and to prevent the ingredients from being left out for too long, which could affect the cooking effect.
[0009] In one optional implementation, if the steaming time is longer than the baking time, the operating power of the first heat dissipation device is adjusted during a separate cooking time period to maintain the baking layer within a preset second initial temperature range. This includes: acquiring the current temperature of the baking layer during the cooking process; determining whether the current temperature of the baking layer is greater than a preset heat dissipation temperature, where the preset heat dissipation temperature is the highest temperature within the preset second initial temperature range; if the current temperature of the baking layer is greater than the preset heat dissipation temperature, based on the current temperature difference between the current temperature of the baking layer and the preset heat dissipation temperature, and the relationship between the preset temperature difference and the operating power level, increasing the operating power level of the first heat dissipation device to maintain the baking layer within the preset second initial temperature range.
[0010] Based on the temperature difference between the current baking layer and the preset heat dissipation temperature, and the mapping relationship between temperature difference and power level, this invention automatically increases the operating power level of the first heat dissipation device, thereby achieving precise control of the baking layer temperature by dynamically adjusting the power level of the heat dissipation device through temperature feedback.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes: when the temperature of the current baking layer drops to a first heat dissipation temperature during the operation of the first heat dissipation device based on the current operating power level, setting a preset downgrade delay time; after the preset downgrade delay time ends, reducing the operating power level of the first heat dissipation device to the operating power level corresponding to the first heat dissipation temperature, so that the baking layer is maintained within a preset second initial temperature range.
[0012] The present invention sets a downshift delay time, which can ensure the heat dissipation effect and reduce the error of temperature detection.
[0013] In one optional embodiment, adjusting the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer within a preset first initial temperature range and initial humidity range includes: acquiring the current temperature and humidity of the steaming layer and the current temperature of the baking layer during the cooking process; calculating a first temperature difference between the current temperature of the steaming layer and the highest temperature within the first initial temperature range, and calculating a second temperature difference between the current temperature of the baking layer and the current temperature of the steaming layer; acquiring the current airflow, and calculating a first humidity difference between the lowest humidity within the initial humidity range and the humidity of the current steaming layer; calculating a first target airflow based on the first temperature difference and the second temperature difference; calculating a first target steam volume based on the first humidity difference and the current airflow; adjusting the operating power of the second heat dissipation device based on the first target airflow and controlling the operating power of the steam generator based on the first target steam volume, so that the steaming layer is maintained within the preset first initial temperature range and initial humidity range.
[0014] In one optional embodiment, adjusting the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity includes: acquiring the current temperature and humidity of the steaming layer and the current temperature of the baking layer during the cooking process; calculating a third temperature difference between the current temperature of the steaming layer and the target steaming temperature, and calculating a fourth temperature difference between the current temperature of the baking layer and the current temperature of the steaming layer; acquiring the current airflow and a second humidity difference between the target steaming humidity and the humidity of the current steaming layer; calculating a second target airflow based on the third temperature difference and the fourth temperature difference; calculating a second target steam volume based on the second humidity difference and the current airflow; adjusting the operating power of the second heat dissipation device based on the second target airflow and controlling the operating power of the steam generator based on the second target steam volume, so that the steaming layer is maintained at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity.
[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides a cooking control device, characterized in that it is applied to a cooking equipment, the cooking equipment including at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, and a steam generating device, wherein the cooking equipment cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer, the first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, and the second heat dissipation device and the steam generating device are installed on the steaming layer, the device including: a time period division module, used to acquire the baking time of a target baking recipe and the steaming time of a target steaming recipe set by the user, and calculate the difference between the baking time and the steaming time as a separate cooking time period, wherein after the separate cooking time period ends, a common cooking time period begins, the common cooking time period being the minimum of the baking time and the steaming time; a cooking control module, used to, if the baking time is greater than the steaming time, adjust the cooking control module during the baking process. The heating device is controlled to operate within a certain time period, so that the baking layer is maintained at the target baking temperature. During a separate cooking time period, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted to maintain the steaming layer within a preset first initial temperature range and initial humidity range. During a combined cooking time period, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. Alternatively, if the steaming time is longer than the baking time, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted within the steaming time to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. During a separate cooking time period, the operating power of the first heat dissipation device is adjusted to maintain the baking layer within a preset second initial temperature range. During a combined cooking time period, the heating device is controlled to operate to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature.
[0016] Thirdly, the present invention provides a cooking device, characterized in that the cooking device includes at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, a steam generating device, and a controller, wherein the cooking device cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer, the first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, the second heat dissipation device and the steam generating device are installed on the steaming layer, and the controller includes a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor being communicatively connected to each other, the memory storing computer instructions, and the processor executing the computer instructions to perform the cooking control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment described above.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] With the popularization of steam ovens and the development of related technologies, their functions are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Traditional steam ovens usually adopt a three-layer structure (upper, middle, and lower) and can process a large amount of food at the same time. However, existing products have the limitation of single function, that is, only one mode, steaming or baking, can be selected in the same cavity. They cannot achieve simultaneous operation of steaming and baking functions, which limits the utilization rate of equipment space and fails to fully realize its performance potential.
[0030] By using an adjustable partition to divide the equipment cavity into upper and lower layers, a dual-function mode of independent baking and steaming can be achieved. However, this solution faces two major technical challenges in practical applications. First, the heat insulation performance of the partition is limited, which causes heat to be conducted to the steaming layer during high-temperature baking, interfering with the steaming process. Second, the difference in working time and start-up sequence between the baking layer and the steaming layer makes the heat significantly affect each other when they are running at the same time, which seriously affects the original cooking effect.
[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cooking control method embodiment is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0032] This embodiment provides a cooking control method applied to a cooking device. The cooking device includes at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, and a steam generator. The cooking device cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer. The first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, and the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator are installed on the steaming layer. The cooking device in this embodiment is a steam-bake integrated device, and its cooking device cavity includes at least a baking layer and a steaming layer. The design of whether the baking layer or the steaming layer is upper or lower is not limited and can be set according to the actual design structure and component installation position of the cooking device. Generally, based on the characteristic that heating devices are generally arranged at the top of the cavity, the baking function of the combined steaming and baking can be configured on the upper layer, i.e., the upper layer is the baking layer. This is just an example. The design types of the heating device, heat dissipation device, and steam generator are not limited. The heating device can be a heating pipe installed at the top of the upper layer of the device cavity, the steam generator can be a steam generator, and the heat dissipation device can be a cooling fan. Correspondingly, air ducts can be configured in the device cavity to exhaust the high-temperature air inside the device cavity and draw in external cold air to reduce the temperature inside the device cavity. This is just an example. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a cooking control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0033] Step S101: Obtain the baking time of the target baking recipe and the steaming time of the target steaming recipe set by the user, and calculate the difference between the baking time and the steaming time as a separate cooking time period.
[0034] The cooking process begins after each individual cooking time period ends, and the combined cooking time period is the shortest of the baking and steaming times.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the user places ingredients into the baking layer and the steaming layer respectively, and selects the corresponding target baking recipe and target steaming recipe. The recipe includes at least cooking time, target cooking temperature, and humidity. This is merely an example. Figure 2 As shown, after the user closes the oven door and starts cooking, the baking time t1 and steaming time t2 of the cooking stage can be obtained and compared. If the baking time is greater than the steaming time, the baking layer can be controlled to work first, and then the baking layer and the steaming layer can work together. Otherwise, the steaming layer can be controlled to work alone first, so that the baking layer and the steaming layer can complete the cooking together, ensuring the cooking effect of the dish when the cooking is completed. Therefore, the difference between the baking time and the steaming time can be calculated as the individual cooking time period, and the joint cooking time period after the individual cooking time period. The total cooking time is T = max{t1, t2}, and the joint cooking time period is the shorter of the baking time and the steaming time, which is only an example.
[0036] Step S102: If the baking time is longer than the steaming time, control the heating device to operate during the baking time to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature. During the separate cooking time period, adjust the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer within the preset first initial temperature range and initial humidity range. During the combined cooking time period, adjust the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. Alternatively, if the steaming time is longer than the baking time, adjust the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity during the steaming time. During the separate cooking time period, adjust the operating power of the first heat dissipation device to maintain the baking layer within the preset second initial temperature range. During the combined cooking time period, control the heating device to operate to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature.
[0037] like Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that the baking time is longer than the steaming time, the baking layer is controlled to work alone first, and then the baking layer and the steaming layer work together. That is, the baking layer is always in a cooking state during the total baking time. Correspondingly, the heating device can be controlled to work, so that the baking layer is maintained at the target baking temperature to bake the food. At this time, the working state of the first heat dissipation device of the baking layer is not limited. For example, the working state of the heating device can be adjusted based only on the real-time temperature and the target baking temperature to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature. The first heat dissipation device can also be used to assist in heat dissipation to prevent the space inside the equipment cavity and various components from overheating. This is just an example. During the time period when the baking layer works alone, it is considered that the heating heat of the baking layer will affect the steaming layer. The temperature of the steaming layer needs to be maintained within the first initial temperature range. Since steamed food is sensitive to humidity (such as steamed buns), a high-temperature and dry environment will affect the quality and taste of the food. It is also necessary to consider maintaining the humidity of the steaming layer within a certain initial humidity range. For example, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device can be adjusted based on the temperature difference between the current temperature of the steaming layer and the standard temperature within the first initial temperature range (for example, the greater the temperature difference between the current temperature of the steaming layer and the standard temperature, the higher the operating power of the second heat dissipation device can be), so that the steaming layer is maintained within the first initial temperature range. Alternatively, the operating power of the steam generator can be adjusted based on the humidity difference between the real-time humidity of the current steaming layer and the standard humidity within the first initial humidity range, so that the steaming layer is maintained within the initial humidity range.
[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, during the shared cooking time, the steaming layer begins to operate. Since the set temperature of baking recipes is usually higher than that of steaming recipes (for example, baking is often above 150 degrees Celsius, while steaming is generally no more than 120 degrees Celsius), heat is conducted from the high-temperature area to the low-temperature area, so the steaming layer will heat up and requires heat dissipation and temperature control. At the same time, the humidity of the steaming layer can be maintained. At this time, based on the current temperature and target steaming temperature of the steaming layer, and the current humidity and target steaming humidity of the steaming layer, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator can be adjusted respectively to keep the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. The specific adjustment method is not limited. The correspondence between the temperature difference gradient and the operating power level can be set, or an intelligent model can be established in advance to predict the temperature and humidity change trend in the future time period and adjust the operating power in advance to reduce overshoot. This is just an example.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, if it is determined that the steaming time is longer than the baking time, the steaming layer can be controlled to work alone first, and then the steaming layer and the baking layer can be controlled to work together, ending the cooking at the same time. Throughout the total steaming time, the steaming layer remains operational. The operating power of the second heat dissipation device can be adjusted based on the difference between the current temperature of the steaming layer and the target steaming temperature, and the operating power of the steam generator can be adjusted based on the difference between the current humidity of the steaming layer and the target steaming humidity, so that the steaming layer maintains the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. During the separate cooking time period, considering that baked goods are not sensitive to humidity, a appropriately dry environment can actually enhance the baking effect (e.g., roasted chicken). (e.g., chicken wings, roasted chicken), therefore, the roasting layer uses non-humidified cold air heat dissipation to maintain the temperature of the roasting layer. When the roasting layer is affected by the heat generated by the steaming layer, its temperature will rise. Therefore, the operating power of the first heat dissipation device of the roasting layer can be adjusted so that the roasting layer is maintained within the preset second initial temperature range. During the common cooking time period, the roasting layer officially starts to work, and the heating device can be controlled to heat the roasting layer so that the roasting layer is maintained at the target roasting temperature to complete the roasting of the food. Among them, the working state of the first heat dissipation device during the common cooking time period is not limited and can be set according to actual needs and cooking conditions. This is just an example.
[0040] Once cooking is complete, a notification message can be sent to the user indicating that cooking is finished. Upon receiving the notification, the user can open the door and retrieve the cooked food. There are no restrictions on the method of sending the notification message; it can be sent via voice prompts or to a mobile device connected to the cooking equipment. This is just one example.
[0041] The cooking control method provided in this embodiment is applied to a cooking device, which includes at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, and a steam generator. The cooking device cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer. The first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, and the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator are installed on the steaming layer. The difference between the baking time and the steaming time is calculated as a separate cooking time period, and a common cooking time period is entered after the separate cooking time period ends. The first cooking layer with a longer cooking time can be controlled to work first, and the temperature and / or humidity of the second cooking layer can be controlled to maintain within the initial temperature range to avoid the food in the second cooking layer being affected by heat radiation, resulting in poor cooking effect. During the common cooking time period, the baking layer and the steaming layer work together, and the two cooking layers are controlled to maintain their respective target temperatures and / or target humidity to ensure that the food is cooked. This achieves a true layered steaming and baking function, improves space utilization and cooking efficiency, and eliminates the problem of heat interference. It also reduces the material and structural requirements of the layered partitions.
[0042] This embodiment provides a cooking control method applied to a cooking device. The cooking device includes at least a heating device, a first heat dissipation device, a second heat dissipation device, and a steam generator. The cooking device cavity includes a baking layer and a steaming layer. The first heat dissipation device and the heating device are installed on the baking layer, and the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator are installed on the steaming layer. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a cooking control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0043] Step S301: Obtain the baking time of the target baked recipe and the steaming time of the target steamed recipe set by the user, and calculate the difference between the baking time and the steaming time as a separate cooking time period. After the separate cooking time period ends, a shared cooking time period begins; the shared cooking time period is the shorter of the baking time and the steaming time. For details, please refer to [link to details]. Figure 1 Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.
[0044] Specifically, step S301 above includes:
[0045] Step S3011: Determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the baking time and the steaming time is greater than the preset difference threshold.
[0046] In step S3012, if the absolute value of the difference is not greater than the preset difference threshold, the difference between the baking time and the steaming time will be used as a separate cooking time period.
[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the user's baking time t1 and steaming time t2, and calculating the difference between the baking time and steaming time, it can determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the baking time and steaming time, |t1-t2|, is greater than a preset difference threshold. The setting of the preset difference threshold is not limited and can be set based on the cooking effect and the requirements for cooking time, such as 30 minutes. If the absolute value of the difference between the baking time and steaming time is not greater than the preset difference threshold, it means that the cooking time difference between the two selected dishes is small and they can be cooked simultaneously. The difference between the baking time and the cooking time can be used as a separate cooking time period.
[0048] In one optional implementation, if the absolute value of the difference is greater than a preset difference threshold, a prompt message indicating that the cooking time difference is too large is sent to the user.
[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, if the absolute value of the difference between the baking time and the steaming time is greater than a preset difference threshold, it indicates that the time difference between the selected dishes in the baking layer and the steaming layer is too large, and it is not recommended to use the simultaneous baking and steaming function. In this case, a prompt message can be sent to the user indicating that the cooking time difference is too large and simultaneous cooking is not recommended. The method of sending the prompt message is not limited; it can be done through voice, displaying an alarm prompt on a display device, or sending a text message. Further details will not be elaborated here. The user can choose to cook one dish at a time or use other methods based on the prompt message.
[0050] This invention first determines whether the cooking time of the selected dishes on the two cooking layers differs too much. If the difference is too large, it is not recommended to use the simultaneous steaming and baking function to avoid increasing energy consumption due to prolonged heat dissipation for cooling, and to prevent the ingredients from being left out for too long, which could affect the cooking effect.
[0051] Step S302: If the baking time is longer than the steaming time, control the heating device to operate during the baking time to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature. During the separate cooking time period, adjust the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer within the preset first initial temperature and humidity range. During the combined cooking time period, adjust the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity, or...
[0052] If the steaming time is longer than the baking time, the operating power of the second heat dissipation device and the steam generator is adjusted during the steaming time to maintain the steaming layer at the target steaming temperature and target steaming humidity. During the separate cooking time, the operating power of the first heat dissipation device is adjusted to maintain the baking layer within the preset second initial temperature range. During the combined cooking time, the heating device is controlled to maintain the baking layer at the target baking temperature.
[0053] Specifically, step S302 above includes:
[0054] Step S3021: Obtain the temperature of the current baking layer during the cooking process.
[0055] Step S3022: Determine whether the temperature of the current baking layer is greater than the preset heat dissipation temperature.
[0056] The preset heat dissipation temperature is the highest temperature within the preset second initial temperature range.
[0057] Step S3023: If the temperature of the current baking layer is greater than the preset heat dissipation temperature, based on the current temperature difference between the current baking layer and the preset heat dissipation temperature and the relationship between the preset temperature difference and the operating power level, the operating power level of the first heat dissipation device is increased so that the baking layer is maintained within the preset second initial temperature range.
[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, during the separate cooking time of the steaming layer, the operating power of the first heat dissipation device can be adjusted to maintain the baking layer within the initial temperature range, preventing the food from being preheated before cooking begins, which would result in poor cooking results. Specifically, the real-time temperature of the baking layer during cooking can be obtained, and it can be determined whether the current temperature of the baking layer is greater than the preset heat dissipation temperature. The heat dissipation temperature represents the critical temperature at which the first heat dissipation device begins to dissipate heat. The setting of the heat dissipation temperature is not limited and can be set based on factors such as the critical temperature of the food steps and storage requirements. Alternatively, the temperature T inside the cooking equipment cavity before cooking can be obtained. start Add the initial cooking temperature to the preset temperature margin value to obtain the heat dissipation temperature, for example, if the heat dissipation temperature is T. start +9, just as an example.
[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, when the temperature of the current baking layer is detected to be greater than the preset heat dissipation temperature T... start At +9, the first heat dissipation device is activated using a non-humidified cold air method to draw in external cold air for cooling. Specifically, based on the current temperature difference between the current baking layer temperature and the preset heat dissipation temperature, and the relationship between the preset temperature difference and the operating power level, the operating power level of the first heat dissipation device is increased to maintain the baking layer within the second initial temperature range (the highest temperature within the temperature range is T). start +9), for example, it can be set that the operating power of the first heat dissipation device increases by one level for every 3 degrees Celsius increase, that is, the current temperature of the baking layer is T. start At +12, the operating level of the first heat dissipation device is increased to the second level. The specific threshold value can be determined according to the model of the heat dissipation device. For example, if the first heat dissipation device has a total of 4 operating levels, then the temperature of the current baking layer is T. start The system reaches full power operation at +18, which is only used as an example.
[0060] Based on the temperature difference between the current baking layer and the preset heat dissipation temperature, and the mapping relationship between temperature difference and power level, this invention automatically increases the operating power level of the first heat dissipation device, thereby achieving precise control of the baking layer temperature by dynamically adjusting the power level of the heat dissipation device through temperature feedback.
[0061] In one optional implementation, when the temperature of the baking layer drops to the first heat dissipation temperature during the operation of the first heat dissipation device based on the current operating power level, a preset downgrade delay time is set.
