[0063] It can be understood that the cooking device includes an inner cavity, and the cooking device includes but is not limited to an oven, a microwave oven, an air fryer, a steamer or a stew pot, etc.

[0064] Specifically, the preset engraving graphic information can be obtained based on a local pattern library or a shared pattern library. The cooking device includes a data transmission module, which is used to communicate with the terminal. The data transmission module is a WiFi transmission module or a Bluetooth transmission module.

[0065] An embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a cooking device, which is applied to the cooking device. The cooking device includes an inner cavity, an image acquisition device arranged in the inner cavity, a laser emitting device, and a temperature acquisition device.

[0066] Specifically, the inner cavity is used to accommodate food and provide a closed processing environment.

The image acquisition device is set on the top wall or side wall of the cooking device.

[0067] Preferably, the image acquisition device and the laser emitting device are arranged on the top wall of the cooking device, and the inner wall of the cooking device is provided with a high-temperature resistant coating.

[0068] Preferably, the angle of the laser head of the laser emitting device is adjustable, and the laser operating power of the laser emitting device is adjustable.

[0069] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a flowchart of a control method for a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides method operation steps as described in the embodiment or flowchart, but more or fewer operation steps may be included based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiment is only one way of executing the order of many steps and does not represent the only execution order. When the actual system or server product is executed, it can be executed in sequence or in parallel according to the method shown in the embodiment or the accompanying drawings (for example, in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment). Specifically, the following steps may be included:

[0070] S101, obtaining food images captured by an image capture device.

[0071] Specifically, in response to the carving instruction, the image acquisition device obtains the food image of the target food through an edge detection algorithm.

[0072] Optionally, the image acquisition device is an industrial camera, a 3D vision sensor or an infrared thermal imaging camera.

[0073] S102: Perform engraving area recognition on the food image to obtain target engraving area information.

[0074] Specifically, the food image is preprocessed first, and then based on the image processing algorithm, the Canny edge detection or Sobel operator is used to extract the contour information of the food surface, separate the food body and the background, extract the carving area from the food surface image, and then identify and calculate the target carving area to obtain the target carving area, and output the target carving area information, which includes the target carving area coordinates.

[0075] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 : is a flow chart of a method for identifying an engraving area provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein step S102 includes:

[0076] S201, performing object recognition on the food image to obtain an image area of the food to be carved.

[0077] Specifically, a convolutional neural network (CNN) or a traditional image segmentation algorithm is used to segment the food image, identify the image of the food to be carved, and obtain the image area of the food to be carved.

[0078] S203: Obtaining outline information of a preset engraving graphic.

[0079] Specifically, the preset carving pattern represents the shape to be carved on the surface of the target food material, and the contour information obtained by edge detection or contour extraction of the preset carving pattern is a coordinate set of a closed path, which is used to represent the boundary of the preset carving pattern.

[0080] In one embodiment, the preset engraving pattern can be retrieved through the local pattern library of the cooking device. For example, a control panel is provided on the cooking device, and the control panel is used to display the preset engraving pattern. The user retrieves the engraving pattern in the local pattern library through a touch action or a sliding action. After the user completes the selection of the preset engraving pattern, the control panel is electrically connected to the controller, and the control panel is used to send the preset engraving pattern information to the controller.

[0081] In another embodiment, the preset engraving pattern is obtained through the user terminal, and the cooking device is communicatively connected to the user terminal. The user can select a preset pattern template on the terminal, such as geometric shapes, letters, symbols, etc. The user freely draws the pattern through the touch screen or hand-drawing function, and edits parameters such as lines, colors, sizes, and positions. The terminal App provides editing functions such as zooming, rotating, flipping, and stretching, so that the shape of the preset engraving pattern can be accurately adjusted. The format of the preset engraving graphics is SVG or PNG.

[0082] Specifically, users can not only create their own engraving patterns, but also view other users' engraving patterns through the App's sharing function and share their own engraving patterns with others to obtain a shared pattern library. For example, the terminal app provides a community function where each user can browse other users' engraving pattern designs. Based on the user's design history and interests, the terminal app can also automatically recommend similar creative engraving patterns.

[0083] S205 , extracting geometric features from the image area of the food to be carved to obtain spatial structural features of the food to be carved.

[0084] In one embodiment, the food image includes a depth image, and step S205 includes:

[0085] S2051: Extract geometric features from the image area of the food to be carved to obtain contour coordinate information.

[0086] Specifically, the contour coordinate information is used to represent the outer shape boundary of the target food, and the contour coordinate information is a coordinate set of the two-dimensional boundary of the food.

[0087] S2053: Extract feature points from the depth image to obtain feature point coordinate information.

[0088] Specifically, a depth sensor, such as a structured light sensor, is used to capture a depth image of the target food. The depth image contains depth information for each pixel, reflecting the distance of the food surface from the image capture device. Harris corner detection or SIFT methods are then used to extract feature points from the depth image. These feature points represent areas with significant changes on the target food surface. The coordinates of each feature point in the depth image are then extracted, i.e., the position (x, y) of each feature point in the depth image and its corresponding depth value (z).

[0089] S2055: Based on the mapping relationship between the feature point coordinate information and the contour coordinate information, a spatial structure feature is obtained, where the spatial structure feature is used to indicate the three-dimensional structure of the food to be carved.

[0090] Specifically, through perspective transformation or homonymous point matching, the two-dimensional contour coordinates of the contour coordinate information are aligned with the three-dimensional feature point coordinates of the feature point coordinate information, and a three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm is used to generate a three-dimensional model of the target food. The three-dimensional model of the target food can provide the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of each food point, and this information is used to describe the surface structure of the food.

[0091] By correcting possible deformation errors through mapping relationships, the laser emitting device can adapt to the surfaces of various foods, ensuring that the engraving pattern accurately corresponds to the preset design, avoiding engraving distortion caused by tilting or bending of foods, and improving engraving consistency and aesthetics.

[0092] By extracting the geometric features and spatial structure features of the target ingredients from two-dimensional images and depth images, accurate three-dimensional data support is provided for subsequent engraving path planning. It can also provide precise engraving for ingredients with complex shapes, further improving the engraving accuracy.

[0093] S207, performing spatial matching between the preset carving pattern and the food to be carved based on the contour information and the spatial structure characteristics, obtaining a target carving area mapped by the preset carving pattern on the food to be carved, and determining the position information of the target carving area as the target carving area information.

[0094] Specifically, the ICP algorithm is used to align the preset engraving pattern with the point cloud data shape of the surface of the food to be engraved. Through perspective transformation (Homography Transformation), the preset engraving pattern is projected onto the surface of the food to be engraved, and the pattern deformation caused by the curved surface of the food is corrected to ensure the uniform distribution of the engraving pattern on the actual surface. The actual engraving path coordinates of the projected pattern are calculated to obtain the position information of the target engraving area, which includes the engraving path coordinates and engraving depth.

[0095] By building a 3D model and using shape matching to adjust the preset engraving graphics, the preset engraving graphics can be accurately projected onto the surface of the food to be engraved, ensuring engraving accuracy and uniformity.

[0096] S103: Based on the target engraving area information, the laser emitting device is controlled to emit a laser beam to the target engraving area corresponding to the target engraving area information to engrave food.

[0097] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3: is a flow chart of a food carving method provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein step S103 further includes:

[0098] S301, obtaining preset engraving graphic information.

[0099] Specifically, the graphics in the local pattern library or the shared pattern library are called to obtain the preset engraving graphic information.

[0100] S303: Input the food image into a food recognition model to obtain food characteristic information, which includes the food type and laser absorption rate of the target food.

[0101] Specifically, the food images are input into the food recognition model to classify and identify the food. The food recognition model uses a large number of labeled food image data sets for training. The food image data sets include food type, texture, shape and other features, so that the food recognition model can accurately identify the type of food.

[0102] For example, an image of an ingredient is fed into the ingredient recognition model, which then identifies and outputs the ingredient type (e.g., chicken, beef, vegetables), as well as the laser absorptivity of each ingredient. Laser absorptivity refers to the ability of different ingredient surfaces to absorb a laser beam, with different types of ingredients absorbing laser light to varying degrees.

[0103] S305, based on the preset engraving pattern information and the food characteristic information, calculating the working parameters of the laser emitting device, the working parameters are positively correlated with the laser absorptivity, and the working parameters include the operating power and operating time of the laser emitting device.

[0104] Specifically, the laser's operating parameters are calculated based on the laser absorptivity and the preset engraving pattern. These parameters include the laser's operating power (P), which controls the intensity of the laser beam, and the operating time (T), which controls the duration of the laser beam's irradiation. The operating power (P) is positively correlated with the laser's absorptivity and the complexity of the preset engraving pattern. Similarly, the operating time (T) is positively correlated with the laser's absorptivity and the complexity of the preset engraving pattern.

[0105] S307: Control the laser emitting device to emit a laser beam to the target engraving area corresponding to the target engraving area information based on the working parameters to engrave the food.

[0106] Specifically, the laser emitting device performs engraving along the target engraving area according to the target engraving area information. During the engraving process, the laser emitting device adjusts the laser focal length based on the target engraving area information to ensure the uniformity of the engraving.

[0107] Dynamically adjust the laser power and time according to the laser absorption rate of the food to ensure the appropriate engraving depth, avoid over-engraving or unclear engraving, improve the clarity and contrast of engraving details, and make the pattern more beautiful.

[0108] S104, during the food engraving process, obtaining unengraved area information, where the unengraved area information is used to indicate an area in the target engraving area that is not irradiated by the laser.

[0109] Specifically, computer vision technology is used to scan and compare the target engraving area. By comparing the current engraving state with the preset engraving pattern, the unengraved area, that is, the part that is not currently receiving laser irradiation, is identified, and the unengraved area is marked to obtain the unengraved area information, which includes coordinate information and the shape of the area.

[0110] S105 , obtaining temperature distribution information of the unengraved area corresponding to the unengraved area information, wherein the temperature distribution information is generated based on the temperature collected by the temperature collection device.

[0111] Specifically, the temperature collection device is arranged in the inner cavity of the cooking device. The temperature collection device is used to collect the temperature of the target food and / or the inner cavity temperature. The temperature collection device obtains the temperature distribution data of the uncarved area. The temperature distribution data can be presented in the form of a thermal map to show the temperature gradient of different areas.

[0112] Specifically, the temperature acquisition device is an infrared thermal imager or a temperature sensor.

[0113] S106 , determining the next irradiation position of the laser beam of the laser emitting device in the uncarved area based on the temperature distribution information of the uncarved area.

[0114] Specifically, the laser emitting device can adjust the power and irradiation time of the laser beam according to the temperature distribution information of the unengraved area, and use the path planning algorithm to generate a laser irradiation path from low temperature to high temperature. The laser irradiation path ensures that the laser beam covers all unengraved areas.

[0115] Adjusting the laser irradiation position through temperature distribution information helps to precisely control the engraving process, improve the engraving effect of the target food, and increase the fun of the cooking equipment.

[0116] Specifically, the controller includes a motion control component that can control the laser head to accurately position, rotate to the next irradiation position and emit the laser beam. The motion control component can use CNC control or robotic arm control to achieve high-precision positioning of the laser head.

[0117] In one embodiment, the temperature distribution information includes current temperature values of a plurality of positions to be irradiated distributed on the unengraved area, and step S106 includes:

[0118] The current temperature values are sorted from low to high, and the next irradiation position is determined from at least one position to be irradiated that is ranked high.

[0119] Specifically, a sorting algorithm is used to sort the current temperature values from low to high to obtain a first sorting result. The first sorting result is a position list in which the temperature values are arranged from low to high. In the sorted position list, the top position is the position to be engraved with the lowest temperature, and the first position in the list is selected as the next irradiation position.

[0120] By prioritizing areas with lower temperatures for laser irradiation, continuous heating of the same location is avoided, carbonization of food or deterioration of taste caused by overheating is reduced, and the temperature is sorted from low to high so that the laser energy is evenly distributed in the target area, reducing the thermal stress caused by excessive temperature gradients and improving engraving accuracy.

[0121] In another embodiment, step S106 includes:

[0122] The current temperature gradients are sorted from low to high, and the next irradiation position is determined from at least one position to be irradiated that is ranked high.

[0123] Specifically, the unengraved area is divided into multiple unengraved sub-areas, and the temperature gradient between each unengraved sub-area is obtained. The temperature gradient is the ratio of the temperature difference between adjacent unengraved sub-areas. A sorting algorithm is used to sort all multiple unengraved sub-areas according to the temperature gradient value to obtain a second sorting result. The second sorting result is a position list with a temperature gradient arranged from low to high. In the sorted position list, the top position is the position to be engraved with the lowest temperature gradient, and the first position in the list is selected as the next irradiation position.

[0124] In one embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0125] During the food engraving process, the steps of obtaining the unengraved area information, obtaining the temperature distribution information and determining the next irradiation position are repeated until the laser irradiation operation of the target engraving area is completed, that is, the above steps S104-S106 are repeated.

[0126] Specifically, after determining the next irradiation position, the area of the unengraved area is obtained. If the area of the unengraved area is less than or equal to the preset area threshold, it indicates that the laser irradiation operation of the target engraving area is completed; if the area of the unengraved area is greater than the preset area threshold, it indicates that the laser irradiation operation of the target engraving area is not completed, and the loop is continued until the area of the unengraved area is less than or equal to the preset area threshold.

[0127] By detecting the area of the unengraved area, it ensures that all target engraving areas have been laser irradiated, avoiding missed engraving or incomplete patterns, and improving the engraving effect.

[0128] In one embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0129] S401: Acquire an inner wall image of an inner wall of a cooking device when the working time corresponding to the laser emitting device meets a first preset condition.

[0130] Understandably, during the cooking or carving process, some target ingredients will splash onto the inner wall of the cooking equipment, forming carbonized dirt. For example, carbonized sweet potato syrup splashed onto the oven wall will cause the stains to be difficult to clean.

[0131] Specifically, when the working time corresponding to the laser emitting device is greater than or equal to the preset working time threshold, exemplarily, the preset working time threshold is greater than or equal to the engraving completion time plus the safety buffer time, at this time, the image acquisition device captures the inner wall image of the cooking equipment, the inner wall image includes the side wall image, and the image acquisition device processes the inner wall image and inputs it into the controller.

[0132] In some embodiments, the acquired inner wall image is preprocessed, and the preprocessing operations include denoising, contrast enhancement, geometric correction, etc.

[0133] S403, based on the image difference between the inner wall image and the reference inner wall image, identifying the image area to be cleaned from the inner wall image, where the image area to be cleaned is used to indicate the dirt on the inner wall of the cooking device, and the reference inner wall image is an image of the inner wall of the cooking device that meets the cleaning conditions.

[0134] Specifically, the reference inner wall image is a pre-stored standard image of the inner wall in a clean state. The inner wall image and the reference inner wall image are compared to obtain the image area to be cleaned, and the image area to be cleaned is marked as RGN[1]~RGN[N], and the coordinates corresponding to the image area to be cleaned are recorded.

[0135] In one embodiment, the inner wall image and the reference inner wall image are compared through color deviation analysis, such as RGB and HSV color space differences; in another embodiment, the inner wall image and the reference inner wall image are compared through texture detection, such as using edge detection and filters to identify dirt areas; in another embodiment, the inner wall image and the reference inner wall image are compared through deep learning recognition, such as training a dirt detection model based on CNN to obtain the image difference between the inner wall image and the reference inner wall image.

[0136] S405: Control the laser emitting device to emit a laser beam to the area to be cleaned corresponding to the image area to be cleaned on the inner wall of the cooking device.

[0137] Specifically, the cleaning parameters of the laser beam emitted by the laser emitting device are calculated based on the dirt characteristics, and the laser head is controlled to be positioned at RGN[i] for irradiation cleaning, and all dirt areas of RGN[1] to RGN[N] are cleaned in turn.

[0138] Specifically, the dirt identification process is repeated until the current dirt area N is less than or equal to 1, indicating that the cleaning is completed. If the current dirt area N is less than or equal to 1, the cleaning process is repeated until the completion condition is met.

[0139] Through image recognition, dirty areas are accurately located and the cleaning parameters of the laser emission device are matched according to the type of dirt. Manual cleaning of cooking equipment is no longer required, which improves the automated cleaning effect. The laser can also remove stubborn stains in tiny pores and uneven surfaces that are difficult to handle with traditional methods.

[0140] In one embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0141] S501, during the food carving process, based on the image difference between the food area image corresponding to the carved area information and the preset carving pattern, determine the area information to be carved again in the carved area, and the area information to be carved again is used to indicate the area in the carved area where the difference between the carved pattern and the preset carving pattern meets the preset difference condition.

[0142] Specifically, an image acquisition device acquires image information of the engraved area. The preset engraving pattern can be a vector image or a dot matrix image. A feature matching algorithm is used to perform image registration between the food area image and the preset engraving pattern, aligning the engraved area with the preset pattern. An image difference method is then used to detect the difference between the engraved area and the preset engraving pattern. The area and depth of the engraving error are calculated, and areas with engraving errors greater than a preset error threshold are selected as areas to be re-engraved. The center coordinates, error depth, and error area of each area to be re-engraved are recorded to obtain updated engraving path information.

[0143] S503: Based on the temperature distribution information of the area to be engraved corresponding to the information of the area to be engraved, the irradiation path and working parameters of the laser beam are indicated to control the laser emitting device to repeatedly engrave the area to be engraved.

[0144] Specifically, a temperature acquisition device collects thermal imaging data from the engraving area, constructs a temperature distribution map, and obtains temperature information about the area to be re-engraved. Laser engraving parameters are then calculated, and a shortest path optimization algorithm, such as the A* algorithm, is used to plan the engraving path. This reduces repetitive engraving and improves engraving efficiency. The laser emitting device is then controlled to perform engraving compensation according to the laser re-engraving parameters, engraving the low-temperature area first, followed by the high-temperature area, to avoid burning the food.

[0145] By re-carving the engraved area, high-precision engraving error correction can be achieved to ensure that the engraved pattern is consistent with the preset engraving pattern, while avoiding excessive temperature damage to the food, thereby improving engraving quality and efficiency.
