Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooking machine equipment, and in particular to a cooking machine and a juice collection control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Typically, when stir-frying or cooking various dishes, there is a process of collecting the sauce. However, the disadvantage of existing cooking machines is that they cannot adapt to the amount of ingredients. When the amount of ingredients is small, the large thermal inertia of the pot will cause them to burn. When the amount of ingredients is large, it may take more time. Compared with directly collecting the sauce quickly over high heat, it may increase the total cooking time, stew the ingredients, and the taste of boiled food will be poor. If the collection process is not adjusted properly, the ingredients may be overcooked or undercooked. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a cooking machine and a method for controlling juice collection thereof, so as to solve the problem in the above-mentioned background art that the existing cooking machine cannot adaptively collect juice according to the amount of food.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for controlling juice collection of a cooking machine, comprising a pre-juice collection stage and a juice collection stage, the method comprising the following steps: S1, real-time detection of the temperature of the cooking pot of the cooking machine when the cooking machine is working; S2. When the cooking machine enters a preset temperature range of a pre-juice collection stage, calculating the lower limit of the preset temperature range and raising the temperature to the pre-juice collection power of the cooking machine at the upper limit of the preset temperature range; S3. When the temperature of the cooking machine continues to rise to a preset juice collection temperature threshold in the juice collection stage, the juice collection power in the juice collection stage is accumulated. If the calculated juice collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-collection power, the cooking machine stops heating. S4. In the steps S1 to S3, when it is detected that the temperature of the cooking machine pot is greater than the preset protection temperature threshold, heating is stopped immediately.

[0005] Preferably, the upper limit of the preset temperature range in the pre-juice collection stage in step S2 is 112-128°C, and the lower limit of the preset temperature range is 102-108°C.

[0006] Preferably, the heating power of the cooking machine in the pre-juice collection stage is 800~1200W, and the heating power of the cooking machine in the juice collection stage is 1500~2000W.

[0007] Preferably, the threshold range of the preset juice collection temperature in the juice collection stage is 130-145°C.

[0008] Preferably, the threshold range of the preset protection temperature is 155-160°C.

[0009] A cooking machine, comprising: The pot body is used to hold the food to be cooked; A heating plate, used to heat the pot body; The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the pot in real time during the operation of the cooking machine; The control component is connected to the heating plate and the temperature sensor through wires, controls the heating plate to heat the pot body during the pre-juice collection stage and the juice collection stage, and feeds back the real-time temperature of the pot body to the control component through the temperature sensor.

[0010] Preferably, the control component controls the heating plate according to the temperature of the pot body. When entering the pre-juice collection stage, the control component controls the heating plate to heat with the pre-juice collection power, and calculates the pre-juice collection power accumulated from the preset temperature lower limit to the preset temperature upper limit. When the pot body temperature continues to rise to the preset juice collection temperature threshold of the juice collection stage, the control component controls the heating plate to heat with the juice collection power, and calculates the accumulated juice collection power of the juice collection stage. When the pre-juice collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-juice collection power, the cooking machine stops heating.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. The pre-collection power of the pre-collection stage is calculated by the control component, so as to determine the power required for the current amount of food in the pot. It is easy to understand that as the amount of food in the pot increases or decreases, the cumulative power of the heating plate used to heat it in the pre-collection stage will increase or decrease accordingly. That is, the adaptive food portion obtains the energy required for its corresponding pre-collection stage, which facilitates accurate juice collection in the subsequent juice collection stage, completes the juice collection of the food in the pot, and avoids the problem of overcooking or undercooking of the food.

[0012] 2. The power required for the current amount of food in the pot is determined during the pre-collection stage, and the power required for the collection stage is determined based on this. This improves the accuracy of controlling the amount of water used in the collection stage when cooking food, improves the collection effect of the food, and ensures the taste of the food.

[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a juice collection control method for a cooking machine, comprising a pre-juice collection stage and a juice collection stage, the method comprising the following steps: S1, real-time detection of the temperature of the cooking pot of the cooking machine when the cooking machine is working; S2. When the cooking machine enters a preset temperature range of a pre-juice collection stage, calculating the lower limit of the preset temperature range and raising the temperature to the pre-juice collection power of the cooking machine at the upper limit of the preset temperature range; S3. When the temperature of the cooking machine continues to rise to a preset juice collection temperature threshold in the juice collection stage, the juice collection power in the juice collection stage is accumulated. If the calculated juice collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-collection power, the cooking machine stops heating. S4. In the steps S1 to S3, when it is detected that the temperature of the cooking machine pot is greater than the preset protection temperature threshold, heating is stopped immediately.

[0017] Specifically, after a certain period of time, the cooking machine automatically enters the juice collection stage according to the currently preset cooking program in the cooking machine. It can also be executed by detecting the temperature. When the temperature of the pot reaches a certain preset temperature, the cooking machine is controlled to enter the juice collection stage.

[0018] Specifically, during the continuous heating process of the cooking machine, after a large amount of water in the pot body 1 evaporates, the temperature of the pot body 1 further rises to a preset temperature range for the pre-collection stage. The heating plate 2 is controlled based on the real-time temperature of the pot body 1 to raise the temperature of the pot body 1 from the lower limit of the preset temperature range to the upper limit. The control component 4 calculates the pre-collection power during the pre-collection stage to determine the power required for the current amount of food in the pot body 1. It is easy to understand that as the amount of food in the pot body 1 increases or decreases, the cumulative power used by the heating plate 2 to heat the food during the pre-collection stage will increase or decrease accordingly. In other words, the energy required for the pre-collection stage is obtained according to the amount of food, facilitating precise juice collection in the subsequent juice collection stage while further reducing the amount of water in the pot body 1. When the temperature of the pot body 1 continues to rise to the juice collection stage threshold, the juice collection power is obtained by calculating the cumulative power during the juice collection stage. When the juice collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-collection power, the cooking machine stops heating, completing the juice collection process for the food in the pot body 1.

[0019] Specifically, the upper limit of the preset temperature range in the pre-juice collection stage in step S2 is 112-128° C., and the lower limit of the preset temperature range is 102-108° C.

[0020] Specifically, the heating power of the cooking machine in the pre-juice collection stage is 800~1200W, and the heating power of the cooking machine in the juice collection stage is 1500~2000W.

[0021] Specifically, the threshold range of the preset juice collection temperature in the juice collection stage is 130-145°C.

[0022] In a specific example of the present invention, when the cooking machine enters the pre-collection stage at a preset temperature (i.e., the water content in the pot body 1 is high and the temperature of the pot body 1 is close to 100°C) from the boiling stage (i.e., the water content in the pot body 1 is low and the temperature of the pot body 1 reaches the lower limit of the pre-collection temperature, such as 104°C), the control component 4 first controls the heating plate 2 to heat at a pre-collection power (e.g., 800-1200W, preferably 1000W) to collect juice over a low heat. When the heating plate 2 is heated at a pre-collection power (e.g., 800-1200W, preferably 1000W) until the temperature of the pot body 1 reaches the upper limit of the preset temperature range (e.g., 112-1200W), the cooking machine enters the pre-collection stage at a preset temperature range (i.e., 112-1200W). 128°C, preferably 122°C), the control component 4 calculates the cumulative pre-collection power of the pre-collection stage. When the cooking machine continues to heat up and enters the collection stage from the pre-collection stage (that is, the water in the pot body 1 is less and the temperature of the pot body 1 reaches the collection temperature threshold, such as 136°C), the heating plate 2 is controlled again to continue heating with the collection power (for example, 1500-2000W, preferably 1800W), and the cumulative collection power of the collection stage is calculated until the control component 4 determines through the program that the calculated collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-collection power. In this case, it is determined that the collection stage of the cooking machine is completed, that is, cooking is completed, and the heating device is controlled to stop heating.

[0023] Specifically, the threshold range of the preset protection temperature is 155~160℃. When the cooking machine controls the heating plate 2 to heat the pot body 1 through the control component 4, when the temperature sensor 3 detects that the temperature of the pot body 1 exceeds 155℃, it feeds back the detected temperature data to the control component 4, so that the control component 4 controls the heating plate 2 to stop heating immediately, thereby providing over-temperature protection for the pot body 1 and preventing the food from burning.

[0024] A cooking machine, comprising: The pot body 1 is used to carry the food to be cooked; The heating plate 2 is used to heat the pot body 1 and can be arranged at the bottom of the pot body 1 to achieve heating treatment of the pot body 1; The temperature sensor 3 is used to detect the temperature of the pot 1 in real time during the operation of the cooking machine. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a temperature measuring probe or a thermistor can be provided on the outer surface of the bottom of the pot 1 or in the heating plate 2 to detect the temperature of the pot in real time; The control component 4 is connected to the heating plate 2 and the temperature sensor 3 through wires, controls the heating plate 2 to heat the pot body 1 in the pre-juice collection stage and the juice collection stage, and feeds back the real-time temperature of the pot body 1 to the control component 4 through the temperature sensor 3.

[0025] Specifically, the control component 4 controls the heating plate 2 according to the temperature of the pot body 1. When entering the pre-juice collection stage, the control component 4 controls the heating plate 2 to heat with the pre-juice collection power, and calculates the accumulated pre-juice collection power from the preset temperature lower limit to the preset temperature upper limit. When the temperature of the pot body 1 continues to rise to the preset juice collection temperature threshold of the juice collection stage, the control component 4 controls the heating plate 2 to heat with the juice collection power, and calculates the accumulated juice collection power of the juice collection stage. When the pre-juice collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-juice collection power, the cooking machine stops heating.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, during the cooking process, the temperature of the pot is detected in real time by a temperature sensor 3. When the pre-collection stage and the collection stage respectively begin, the control component 4 controls the heating plate 2 based on the temperature of the pot body 1 to raise the temperature of the pot body 1 from the lower limit of a preset temperature range to the upper limit. The control component 4 then calculates the cumulative power consumed by the pot body 1 during the period from the lower limit to the upper limit of the preset temperature range (the pre-collection power). When the temperature of the pot body 1 continues to rise and reaches the collection stage threshold, a program within the control component 4 calculates the cumulative power consumed during the collection stage to obtain the collection power. The control component 4 then determines whether the collection power is greater than or equal to the pre-collection power. If this condition holds, the control component 4 controls the heating plate 2 to stop heating, completing the collection of the food in the pot body 1. The power required for the current amount of food in the pot body 1 is determined based on the pre-collection stage, and the power required for the collection stage is determined based on this determination. This improves the accuracy of controlling the amount of water collected during the collection stage, enhancing the collection effect and ensuring the food's texture.
