[0034] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and drawings.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a food supplement pot 1, which can be used for, but not limited to, cooking porridge, rice, and soup. The food supplement pot 1 includes: a pot body device 10, a pot cover device 20, and a controller 30. The following is an introduction with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The pot device 10 includes a pot assembly 11, a heating plate 12, and an inner pot 13. The heating plate 12 is mounted on the pot assembly 11. The inner pot 13 is supported on the heating plate 12 and is used to hold water and rice grains.

[0037] Specifically, the pot assembly 11 has a receiving space X1 (such as Figure 3 As shown), the heating plate 12 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating space X1. The heating plate 12 can also be called a heating element, which can be roughly in the shape of a round pancake. The heating plate 12 is used to convert electrical energy into thermal energy to heat the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 can also be called an inner pot, a pot liner, etc., and its material can be but is not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. The inner pot 13 is placed in the accommodating space X1 and is supported on the heating plate 12 to fit tightly with the heating plate 12 to ensure better heat conduction efficiency between the heating plate 12 and the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 has a holding space X2, and the holding space X2 (as Figure 2 For example, when porridge needs to be cooked, the holding space X2 is used to place water and rice grains. The embodiment of the present application is only exemplified by cooking porridge.

[0038] The pot cover device 20 includes a pot cover assembly 21, a driving member 22 and a stirring member 23. The driving member 22 is installed on the pot cover assembly 21, and the stirring member 23 is connected to the driving member 22.

[0039] Specifically, the pot lid assembly 21 can cover the pot body assembly 11. The baby food cooker 1 has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the pot lid assembly 21 is not covered by the pot body assembly 11, and the storage space X2 is exposed to the outside world, making it convenient for the user to add water and rice grains to the inner pot 13. In the closed state, the pot lid assembly 21 covers the pot body assembly 11, and the storage space X2 is sealed to form a closed environment. At this time, the stirring element 23 is located in the storage space X2.

[0040] In one embodiment, the pot cover assembly 21 is rotatably connected to the pot body assembly 11, and the pot cover assembly 21 is switched between the open state and the closed state by rotating. In another embodiment, when the pot cover assembly 21 is not covering the pot body assembly 11, the pot cover assembly 21 is separated from the pot body assembly 11.

[0041] The driving member 22 may include a driving motor 221 and a rotating shaft 222 (eg Figure 4 As shown, a drive motor 221 is mounted on the pot lid assembly 21, a rotating shaft 222 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 221, and a stirring member 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 222. The drive motor 221 can drive the stirring member 23 to rotate via the rotating shaft 222 to stir the rice grains in the inner pot 13. During the stirring process, the stirring member 23 can always rotate counterclockwise, always rotate clockwise, or rotate alternately counterclockwise and clockwise. The speed of the stirring member 23 can be always the same, or it can rotate at a variable speed, that is, a non-constant speed.

[0042] The controller 30 is used to control the heating plate 12 to operate at a first power to heat the water and rice in the inner pot 13, and to determine whether the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling. When the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, the controller 30 is also used to control the heating plate 12 to operate at a second power to maintain the water in the inner pot 13 in a boiling state, wherein the second power is less than the first power, the first power is high power, and the second power is low power, and the heat generated by the heating plate 12 when operating at the first power is greater than the heat generated by the heating plate 12 when operating at the second power. When the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, the controller 30 is also used to control the driving member 22 to drive the stirring member 23 to rotate, so as to stir the rice in the inner pot 13 into a rice paste.

[0043] Specifically, the controller 30 may also be referred to as a processor, a control center, etc., and may be installed in the pot body device 10 or in the pot cover device 20, without limitation. When the food supplement pot 1 is in the closed state, the heating plate 12 and the drive motor 221 are both directly or indirectly electrically connected to the controller 30.

[0044] During the porridge cooking process, the controller 30 first controls the heating plate 12 to operate at high power (a first power) to transfer a large amount of heat to the inner pot 13. When the controller 30 determines that the water in the inner pot 13 is boiling, it controls the heating plate 12 to reduce its power to a low power (a second power) to maintain the boiling state. Furthermore, the controller 30 controls the drive motor 221 to activate, causing the drive motor 221 to rotate the stirring element 23 via the rotating shaft 222 at a predetermined speed, thereby causing the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 to rotate. During this process, the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 remain in a boiling state and continuously tumble. The stirring element 23 then stirs them, further causing intense collisions between the rice grains and the inner wall of the pot, between the rice grains, between the rice grains and the water, and between the rice grains and the stirring element 23. Under the action of the boiling and stirring forces, the rice grains in the inner pot 13 are broken up, their volume continuously reduced, and eventually transformed into a rice paste. It is understandable that the longer the porridge is cooked, the smaller the rice grains can be and the better the rice paste effect will be. Therefore, users can set the porridge cooking time according to their needs.

[0045] The above-mentioned porridge cooking control method reduces the time for obtaining rice porridge from three aspects. On the one hand, the heating plate 12 first works at the first power, so that the water and rice grains can be quickly brought to a boiling state, thereby saving time. On the other hand, the heating plate 12 then works at the second power to maintain the water and rice grains in a boiling state. In the boiling state, the rice grains are more likely to absorb water, and thus are more likely to break and become rotten, thereby accelerating the fragmentation process of the rice grains. On the other hand, the rice grains can be beaten into very small rice particles through the forces of stirring and boiling, thereby obtaining rice porridge, and this process also accelerates the fragmentation process of the rice grains. Therefore, the porridge cooking method using the supplementary food pot 1 provided in the present application can shorten the time for obtaining rice porridge, and stirring can also prevent the porridge from becoming sticky at the bottom, thereby bringing convenience to the user.

[0046] It should be noted that boiling in this application refers to the state in which water tumbles after the water temperature reaches a certain level. Therefore, the boiling temperature of water is in a range, such as 90°C to 100°C. The higher the temperature, the more intense the boiling.

[0047] In one embodiment, the controller 30 is further configured to maintain the water in the inner pot 13 at a boiling state and to keep the water temperature below 100°C. It is understood that once water boils, the intensity of boiling increases with increasing temperature. Therefore, when the water temperature is 100°C, the boiling is very intense, while when the water temperature is slightly below 100°C (e.g., 95°C to 99°C), the boiling intensity is less than that at 100°C. In this embodiment, maintaining the water at a boiling state and controlling the water temperature below 100°C minimizes overflow due to intense boiling while also allowing the rice grains to absorb water and break apart.

[0048] Optionally, when the controller 30 controls the water in the inner pot 13 to be maintained in a boiling state and controls the water temperature to be less than 100° C., the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13 is between 95° C. and 99° C. For example, the real-time temperature of the water can be 95° C., 95.6° C., 96° C., 96.3° C., 97° C., 97.5° C., 98° C., 98.6° C., 99° C., etc.

[0049] In another embodiment, when the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13 is lower than a preset temperature, the controller 30 is further configured to control the heating disk 12 to be powered on and to operate at the second power, wherein the preset temperature is lower than 100°C. When the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13 is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the controller 30 is further configured to control the heating disk 12 to be powered off. In other words, the controller 30 controls the heating disk 12 to repeatedly and intermittently operate at the second power, or in other words, the controller 30 controls the heating disk 12 to repeatedly operate in a power-on-power-off-power-on-power-off cycle, and when powered on, the power of the heating disk 12 is the second power.

[0050] The preset temperature may be a temperature value, such as 99°C, 98°C, or 97°C, etc. Of course, the preset temperature may also be a temperature range, such as 98°C~99°C, 97°C~99°C, or 95°C~99°C, etc.

[0051] Take the preset temperature of 99°C as an example: when the controller 30 determines that the water temperature in the inner pot 13 is less than 99°C, for example, 97°C, the controller 30 controls the heating plate 12 to be powered on and to operate at the second power to transfer heat to the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 will transfer the heat to the water and rice grains, thereby increasing the temperature of the water and rice grains. When the controller 30 determines that the water temperature in the inner pot 13 rises to greater than or equal to 99°C, for example, 99.3°C, the controller 30 controls the heating plate 12 to be powered off. The heating plate 12 no longer continuously transfers heat to the inner pot 13, and the temperature of the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 continues to decrease, and the above process is then repeated.

[0052] Take the preset temperature of 97°C to 99°C as an example: when the controller 30 determines that the water temperature in the inner pot 13 is less than 97°C, for example, 96.5°C, the controller 30 controls the heating plate 12 to be powered on and to operate at the second power to transfer heat to the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 will transfer the heat to the water and rice grains, thereby increasing the temperature of the water and rice grains. When the controller 30 determines that the water temperature in the inner pot 13 rises to greater than or equal to 97°C, for example, 98°C, the controller 30 controls the heating plate 12 to be powered off. The heating plate 12 no longer continuously transfers heat to the inner pot 13, and the temperature of the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 continues to decrease, and the above process is then repeated.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6In another embodiment, the pot body device 10 further includes a first temperature sensor 14, which is mounted on the pot body assembly 11 and affixed to the bottom of the inner pot 13. The first temperature sensor 14 is used to obtain the temperature of the bottom of the inner pot 13, which is a first temperature. The pot lid device 20 further includes a second temperature sensor 24, which is mounted on the pot lid assembly 21 and is used to obtain the air temperature within the pot lid assembly 21, which is a second temperature. The controller 30 is further used to compare the first temperature with a first set temperature and the second temperature with a second set temperature. When the first temperature is greater than or equal to the first set temperature and the second temperature is greater than or equal to the second set temperature, the controller 30 determines that the water and rice in the inner pot 13 have boiled.

[0054] Specifically, the first temperature sensor 14 and the second temperature sensor 24 are both electrically connected to the controller 30. The first temperature sensor 14 is attached to the bottom of the inner pot 13, so the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot 13 measured by the first temperature sensor can be considered to be roughly equal to the temperature of the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13. The second temperature sensor 24 is set in the pot lid assembly 21. During the porridge cooking process, water vapor will enter the pot lid assembly 21 and then escape into the environment. Therefore, the temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 can be considered to be the temperature of the water vapor. It is understandable that because the water vapor will transfer some heat to the pot lid assembly 21, etc., the temperature of the water vapor will be lower than the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13. Therefore, the second set temperature is set to be lower than the first set temperature in this application. The first set temperature is the boiling temperature of the water in the inner pot 13, and the second set temperature is the temperature of the water vapor generated when the water in the inner pot 13 boils in the pot lid assembly 21.

[0055] It is understandable that there are three possible scenarios for cooking porridge: cooking porridge with boiling water, cooking porridge without adding water, and cooking porridge with cold water. By comparing the first temperature with the first set temperature and the second temperature with the second set temperature, the above three scenarios can be identified.

[0056] In the porridge cooking scenario, the user places rice grains to be cooked in inner pot 13 and adds boiling water, then begins cooking. The heating plate 12 begins operating at the first power level to heat inner pot 13. It is understood that because the boiling water in inner pot 13 directly generates steam, the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 will be greater than or equal to the second set temperature. However, during the initial period of porridge cooking, the temperature of the rice grains and inner pot 13 is still relatively low, so the first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 14 will be less than the first set temperature. At this point, although the water is boiling, the rice grains are not yet cooked. Therefore, the processor determines that the current porridge cooking scenario is boiling water and controls the heating plate 12 to continue operating at the first power level to heat inner pot 13 until the first temperature is greater than or equal to the first set temperature and the second temperature is greater than or equal to the second set temperature.

[0057] In the dry cooking scenario (also known as the dry cooking scenario), the user presses the porridge cooking switch on the supplementary food cooker 1 to start cooking porridge before water is added to the inner pot 13. At this point, the heating plate 12 begins operating at the first power level to heat the inner pot 13. As will be appreciated, without water in the inner pot 13, no steam will be generated, and the temperature of the inner pot 13 will rise rapidly, causing the following problem: when the first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 14 is greater than or equal to the first set temperature, the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 will be less than the second set temperature. Based on this, the processor can determine that the dry cooking scenario is currently in effect. When this porridge cooking scenario occurs, the controller 30 can control the heating plate 12 to power off, stopping heating the inner pot 13 and thus preventing further safety issues.

[0058] In the cold water porridge cooking scenario: the user places rice to be cooked into inner pot 13 and adds cold water, then begins cooking. The heating plate 12 begins operating at a first power level to heat inner pot 13. During this process, the temperatures of inner pot 13, the water, the rice, and the steam gradually rise. Correspondingly, the first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 14 and the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 also gradually rise. When the first temperature is greater than or equal to the first set temperature, and the second temperature is greater than or equal to the second set temperature, the processor determines that the water and rice in inner pot 13 have boiled, and the current cold water porridge cooking scenario is determined.

[0059] Through the introduction of the above three scenarios, it can be seen that by comparing the first temperature with the first set temperature and the second temperature with the second set temperature, the baby food pot 1 can automatically identify various scenarios, thereby taking corresponding control measures according to the scenarios and judging whether the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 are boiling.

[0060] In another embodiment, when the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 are boiling, the controller 30 controls the stirring member 23 to cyclically and alternately rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the duration of the clockwise rotation is a first duration, and the duration of the counterclockwise rotation is a second duration. In other words, during the stirring process, the stirring member 23 rotates clockwise for a first duration, then rotates counterclockwise for a second duration, and then repeats this clockwise / counterclockwise alternating rotation pattern. It can be understood that at the moment of clockwise / counterclockwise alternation, the stirring member 23 has the strongest impact on the rice grains, and the rice grains at this time are more easily broken by the stirring member 23. Therefore, the alternating clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the stirring member 23 can accelerate the rice grain breakage process, thereby further shortening the time to obtain rice porridge.

[0061] The first duration can be 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3.5 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. Similarly, the second duration can be 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. The first duration and the second duration can be the same or different. For example, the stirring member 23 rotates clockwise for 30 seconds and then counterclockwise for 30 seconds. For another example, the stirring member 23 rotates clockwise for 20 seconds and then counterclockwise for 60 seconds.

[0062] In another embodiment, the stirring member 23 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 222 of the driving member 22. When cooking rice porridge, the stirring member 23 is mounted on the rotating shaft 222 for stirring. When cooking rice (not rice porridge), the stirring member 23 is detached from the rotating shaft 222. Moreover, the detachable design facilitates cleaning of the stirring member 23.

[0063] The detachable connection method can be, but is not limited to, a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, etc. The snap-fit ​​connection refers to a connection form in which a boss is matched with a groove or a hole. For example, a boss is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and a slot is provided on the stirring member 23, and the boss is detachably arranged in the slot. The threaded connection refers to a connection achieved by matching internal and external threads. For example, an external thread is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and a threaded hole is provided on the stirring member 23. The threaded hole has an internal thread, and the internal and external threads on the rotating shaft 222 and the stirring member 23 are screwed together. The magnetic connection refers to a connection through magnetic adsorption. For example, a first magnet is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and a second magnet is provided on the stirring member 23, and the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted together.

[0064] Of course, the detachable connection may also take other forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The present application provides a method for cooking porridge using a food supplement pot 1. The food supplement pot 1 includes: a pot body device 10 and a pot cover device 20. The pot body device 10 includes a pot body assembly 11, a heating plate 12 and an inner pot 13. The heating plate 12 is installed on the pot body assembly 11. The inner pot 13 is supported on the heating plate 12 and is used to place water and rice grains. The pot cover device 20 includes a pot cover assembly 21, a driving member 22 and a stirring member 23. The driving member 22 is installed on the pot cover assembly 21, and the stirring member 23 is connected to the driving member 22.

[0066] Specifically, the pot assembly 11 has a receiving space X1 (such as Figure 3 As shown), the heating plate 12 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating space X1. The heating plate 12 can also be called a heating element, which can be roughly in the shape of a round pancake. The heating plate 12 is used to convert electrical energy into thermal energy to heat the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 can also be called an inner pot, a pot liner, etc., and its material can be but is not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. The inner pot 13 is placed in the accommodating space X1 and is carried on the heating plate 12 to fit the heating plate 12 tightly, ensuring better heat conduction efficiency between the heating plate 12 and the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 has a holding space X2 (as shown). Figure 2 As shown), the holding space X2 is used to place food. For example, when porridge needs to be cooked, the holding space X2 is used to place water and rice grains. The embodiment of the present application is only exemplified by cooking porridge.

[0067] The pot lid assembly 21 can be placed over the pot body assembly 11. The baby food cooker 1 has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the pot lid assembly 21 is not placed over the pot body assembly 11, and the storage space X2 is exposed to the outside world, making it convenient for the user to add water and rice grains to the inner pot 13. In the closed state, the pot lid assembly 21 is placed over the pot body assembly 11, and the storage space X2 is sealed to form a closed environment. The stirring element 23 is now located in the storage space X2.

[0068] In one embodiment, the pot cover assembly 21 is rotatably connected to the pot body assembly 11, and the pot cover assembly 21 is switched between the open state and the closed state by rotating. In another embodiment, when the pot cover assembly 21 is not covering the pot body assembly 11, the pot cover assembly 21 is separated from the pot body assembly 11.

[0069] The driving member 22 may include a driving motor 221 and a rotating shaft 222 (eg Figure 4As shown, a drive motor 221 is mounted on the pot lid assembly 21, a rotating shaft 222 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 221, and a stirring member 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 222. The drive motor 221 can drive the stirring member 23 to rotate via the rotating shaft 222 to stir the rice grains in the inner pot 13. During the stirring process, the stirring member 23 can always rotate counterclockwise, always rotate clockwise, or rotate alternately counterclockwise and clockwise. The speed of the stirring member 23 can be always the same, or it can rotate at a variable speed, that is, a non-constant speed.

[0070] Please refer to further Figure 7 , Figure 7 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for cooking porridge in a food supplement pot according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes but is not limited to steps S101, S102, S103, and S104. Steps S101, S102, S103, and S104 are described as follows.

[0071] S101: Control the heating plate 12 to operate at a first power to heat the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13.

[0072] S102: Determine whether the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling.

[0073] S103: When the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, the heating plate 12 is controlled to operate at a second power to maintain the water in the inner pot 13 in a boiling state, wherein the second power is lower than the first power.

[0074] S104: When the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, the driving member 22 is controlled to drive the stirring member 23 to rotate, so as to stir the rice in the inner pot 13 into a rice paste.

[0075] Specifically, the first power is high power, and the second power is low power. The heating plate 12 generates more heat when operating at the first power than when operating at the second power. During the porridge cooking process, the heating plate 12 is first controlled to operate at high power (first power) to transfer a large amount of heat to the inner pot 13. When it is determined that the water in the inner pot 13 is boiling, the heating plate 12 is controlled to reduce its power to low power (second power) to maintain the boiling state of the water. In addition, the drive motor 221 is also controlled to turn on, so that the drive motor 221 drives the stirring element 23 to rotate at a certain speed via the rotating shaft 222, thereby causing the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 to rotate. During this process, the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 remain in a boiling state and continuously tumble. The stirring element 23 then stirs them, causing the rice grains to collide violently with the inner wall of the pot, with each other, with the water, and with the stirring element 23. Under the action of the boiling and stirring forces, the rice grains in the inner pot 13 are broken up, their volume continuously reduced, and eventually turned into a rice paste. It is understood that the longer the porridge is cooked, the smaller the rice grains and the better the rice paste. Therefore, users can set the cooking time according to their needs.

[0076] The porridge cooking method of the above-mentioned food supplement pot 1 reduces the time for obtaining rice porridge from three aspects. First, the heating plate 12 first works at the first power, so that the water and rice grains can be quickly brought to a boiling state, thereby saving time. Second, the heating plate 12 then works at the second power to maintain the water and rice grains in a boiling state. In the boiling state, the rice grains are more likely to absorb water, and thus are more likely to break and become rotten, which accelerates the fragmentation process of the rice grains. Third, the rice grains can be beaten into very small rice particles through the forces of stirring and boiling, thereby obtaining rice porridge, which also accelerates the fragmentation process of the rice grains. Therefore, the porridge cooking method of the food supplement pot 1 provided in the present application can shorten the time for obtaining rice porridge, and stirring can also prevent the porridge from becoming sticky at the bottom, thereby bringing convenience to the user.

[0077] It should be noted that boiling in this application refers to the state in which water tumbles after the water temperature reaches a certain level. Therefore, the boiling temperature of water is in a range, such as 90°C to 100°C. The higher the temperature, the more intense the boiling.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 A schematic flow chart of a method for cooking porridge in a food supplement pot provided in another embodiment of the present application. The aforementioned step "S103: when the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, controlling the heating plate 12 to operate at a second power to maintain the water in the inner pot 13 in a boiling state, wherein the second power is less than the first power" may include step S201, and step S201 is described as follows.

[0079] S201: Control the water in the inner pot 13 to maintain a boiling state and control the water temperature to be less than 100°C.

[0080] It is understood that once water boils, its intensity increases with increasing temperature. Therefore, when the water temperature is 100°C, it boils very vigorously, while when the water temperature is slightly below 100°C (e.g., 95°C to 99°C), the boiling intensity is less than that at 100°C. In this embodiment, maintaining the water at a boiling state and controlling the water temperature below 100°C minimizes overflow due to intense boiling while also allowing the rice grains to absorb water and break apart.

[0081] Optionally, when the water in the inner pot 13 is maintained in a boiling state and the temperature of the water is less than 100° C., the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13 is between 95° C. and 99° C. For example, the real-time temperature of the water can be 95° C., 95.6° C., 96° C., 96.3° C., 97° C., 97.5° C., 98° C., 98.6° C., 99° C., etc.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a flow chart of a method for cooking porridge in a food supplement pot according to another embodiment of the present application. The aforementioned step "S201: controlling the water in the inner pot 13 to maintain a boiling state and controlling the water temperature to be less than 100°C" may include steps S301 and S302. Steps S301 and S302 are described below.

[0083] S301: When the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13 is lower than a preset temperature, the heating plate 12 is controlled to be powered on and operate at the second power, wherein the preset temperature is lower than 100°C.

[0084] S302: When the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13 is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the heating plate 12 is controlled to be powered off.

[0085] That is to say, the heating disk 12 is controlled to work at the second power repeatedly and intermittently, or in other words, the heating disk 12 is controlled to work in a cycle of power on-power off-power on-power off. When powered on, the power of the heating disk 12 is the second power.

[0086] The preset temperature may be a temperature value, such as 99°C, 98°C, or 97°C, etc. Of course, the preset temperature may also be a temperature range, such as 98°C~99°C, 97°C~99°C, or 95°C~99°C, etc.

[0087] Taking the preset temperature of 99°C as an example: when it is determined that the water temperature in the inner pot 13 is less than 99°C, for example, 97°C, the heating plate 12 is controlled to be powered on and operate at the second power to transfer heat to the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 transfers the heat to the water and rice grains, thereby increasing the temperature of the water and rice grains. When it is determined that the water temperature in the inner pot 13 rises to greater than or equal to 99°C, for example, 99.3°C, the heating plate 12 is controlled to be powered off and no longer continuously transfers heat to the inner pot 13. The temperature of the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 will continue to decrease, and the above process will be repeated.

[0088] For example, a preset temperature of 97°C to 99°C is used as the following example: When the water temperature in the inner pot 13 is determined to be less than 97°C, for example, 96.5°C, the heating plate 12 is powered on and operates at the second power level to transfer heat to the inner pot 13. The inner pot 13 then transfers the heat to the water and rice grains, causing the temperature of the water and rice grains to rise. When the water temperature in the inner pot 13 rises to or greater than 97°C, for example, 98°C, the heating plate 12 is powered off and no longer transfers heat to the inner pot 13. The temperature of the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 then continues to drop, and the above process is then repeated.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 A schematic flow chart of a method for cooking porridge in a food supplement pot according to another embodiment of the present application is provided. The aforementioned step "S102: determining whether the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling" may include steps S401, S402, S403, S404, and S405. Steps S401, S402, S403, S404, and S405 are described as follows.

[0090] S401: Acquire the temperature of the bottom of the inner pot 13, where the temperature of the bottom of the inner pot 13 is a first temperature.

[0091] S402: Compare the first temperature with a first set temperature.

[0092] S403: Acquire the air temperature in the pot cover assembly 21, where the air temperature in the pot cover assembly 21 is a second temperature.

[0093] S404: Compare the second temperature with a second set temperature.

[0094] S405: When the first temperature is greater than or equal to the first set temperature, and the second temperature is greater than or equal to the second set temperature, it is determined that the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first temperature can be obtained by the first temperature sensor 14, which can be attached to the bottom of the inner pot 13. Therefore, the temperature at the bottom of the inner pot 13 measured by the first temperature sensor can be considered to be roughly equal to the temperature of the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13. The second temperature can be obtained by the second temperature sensor 24, which can be located in the lid assembly 21. During the porridge cooking process, water vapor will enter the lid assembly 21 and then escape into the environment. Therefore, the temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 can be considered to be the temperature of the water vapor. It is understood that because the water vapor transfers some heat to the lid assembly 21, etc., the temperature of the water vapor will be lower than the temperature of the water in the inner pot 13. Therefore, the second set temperature is set to be lower than the first set temperature. The first set temperature is the boiling temperature of the water in the inner pot 13, and the second set temperature is the temperature of the water vapor generated when the water in the inner pot 13 boils in the lid assembly 21.

[0096] It is understandable that there are three possible scenarios for cooking porridge: cooking porridge with boiling water, cooking porridge without adding water, and cooking porridge with cold water. By comparing the first temperature with the first set temperature and the second temperature with the second set temperature, the above three scenarios can be identified.

[0097] In the porridge cooking scenario, the user places the rice to be cooked in the inner pot 13 and pours in boiling water, then begins cooking the porridge. The heating plate 12 begins operating at the first power to heat the inner pot 13. It is understandable that since the inner pot 13 is filled with boiling water, the boiling water will directly generate water vapor. Therefore, the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 will be greater than or equal to the second set temperature. However, during the initial period of porridge cooking, the temperature of the rice grains and the inner pot 13 is still relatively low, so the first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 14 will be less than the first set temperature. At this time, although the water is boiling, the rice grains are not yet cooked. Therefore, the supplementary food pot 1 can determine that the current scenario is porridge cooking with boiling water, and control the heating plate 12 to continue operating at the first power to heat the inner pot 13 until the first temperature is greater than or equal to the first set temperature and the second temperature is greater than or equal to the second set temperature.

[0098] In the dry cooking scenario (also known as the dry cooking scenario), the user presses the porridge cooking switch on the food supplement cooker 1 to start cooking porridge without adding water to the inner pot 13. At this point, the heating plate 12 begins operating at the first power level to heat the inner pot 13. As will be appreciated, without water in the inner pot 13, no steam will be generated, and the temperature of the inner pot 13 will rise rapidly, causing the following problem: when the first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 14 is greater than or equal to the first set temperature, the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 will be less than the second set temperature. Based on this, the food supplement cooker 1 can determine that the dry cooking scenario is currently in effect. If this porridge cooking scenario occurs, the food supplement cooker 1 can control the heating plate 12 to power off, stopping heating the inner pot 13 and thus avoiding further safety issues.

[0099] In the cold water porridge cooking scenario: the user places the rice to be cooked into the inner pot 13 and pours in cold water, then begins cooking the porridge. The heating plate 12 begins operating at a first power level to heat the inner pot 13. During this process, the temperatures of the inner pot 13, the water, the rice, and the steam gradually rise. Correspondingly, the first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 14 and the second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 24 also gradually rise. When the first temperature is greater than or equal to the first set temperature, and the second temperature is greater than or equal to the second set temperature, the baby food cooker 1 determines that the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, and that the current scenario is cold water porridge cooking.

[0100] Through the introduction of the above three scenarios, it can be seen that by comparing the first temperature with the first set temperature and the second temperature with the second set temperature, the baby food pot 1 can automatically identify various scenarios, thereby taking corresponding control measures according to the scenarios and judging whether the water and rice grains in the inner pot 13 are boiling.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for cooking porridge in a food supplement pot according to another embodiment of the present application. The aforementioned step "S104: when the water and rice in the inner pot 13 are boiling, controlling the driving member 22 to rotate the stirring member 23 to stir the rice in the inner pot 13 into a rice paste" may include step S501, which is described below.

[0102] S501: Control the stirring member 23 to cyclically and alternately rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, wherein the duration of the clockwise rotation is a first duration, and the duration of the counterclockwise rotation is a second duration.

[0103] That is, during the stirring process, the stirring member 23 rotates clockwise for a first duration, then counterclockwise for a second duration, and then repeats this alternating clockwise / counterclockwise rotation pattern. It is understood that during the alternating clockwise / counterclockwise rotation, the stirring member 23 has the strongest impact on the rice grains, making them more easily broken up by the stirring member 23. Therefore, the alternating clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the stirring member 23 can accelerate the rice grain breakage process, thereby further shortening the time it takes to prepare rice porridge.

[0104] The first duration can be 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3.5 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. Similarly, the second duration can be 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. The first duration and the second duration can be the same or different. For example, the stirring member 23 rotates clockwise for 30 seconds and then counterclockwise for 30 seconds. For another example, the stirring member 23 rotates clockwise for 20 seconds and then counterclockwise for 60 seconds.

[0105] In another embodiment, the stirring member 23 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 222 of the driving member 22. When cooking rice porridge, the stirring member 23 is mounted on the rotating shaft 222 for stirring. When cooking rice (not rice porridge), the stirring member 23 is removed from the rotating shaft 222. Furthermore, the detachable design facilitates cleaning of the stirring member 23.

[0106] The detachable connection method can be, but is not limited to, a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, etc. The snap-fit ​​connection refers to a connection form in which a boss is matched with a groove or a hole. For example, a boss is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and a slot is provided on the stirring member 23, and the boss is detachably arranged in the slot. The threaded connection refers to a connection achieved by matching internal and external threads. For example, an external thread is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and a threaded hole is provided on the stirring member 23. The threaded hole has an internal thread, and the internal and external threads on the rotating shaft 222 and the stirring member 23 are screwed together. The magnetic connection refers to a connection through magnetic adsorption. For example, a first magnet is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and a second magnet is provided on the stirring member 23, and the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted together.

[0107] Of course, the detachable connection may also take other forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 12 The stirring member 23 includes a connecting section 231, an intermediate section 232, and a stirring section 233 that are connected in sequence. The connecting section 231 is used to connect the rotating shaft 222, that is, the rotating shaft 222 is engaged with the connecting section 231. The intermediate section 232 is connected between the connecting section 231 and the stirring section 233. The outer contour surfaces of the connecting section 231 and the intermediate section 232 can be cylindrical surfaces, which can be convenient for users to clean and prevent cuts. The stirring section 233 is bent and connected to the intermediate section 232, and its bending angle can be 90°, 85°, 81°, 106°, 112°, etc., which are not limited here. The stirring section 233 is used to stir food. The stirring section 233 is flat. The flat structure can achieve a better stirring effect on food.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 12The stirring section 233 includes a first subsection 2331, a second subsection 2332, and a third subsection 2333, which are connected in sequence. The first subsection 2331 is connected to the middle section 232, and the first subsection 2331 and the third subsection 2333 are spaced apart from each other to form a separation space X3. In other words, the second subsection 2332 is connected between the first subsection 2331 and the third subsection 2333. The space between the first subsection 2331 and the third subsection 2333 is the separation space X3. The first subsection 2331, the second subsection 2332, and the third subsection 2333 are bent into a generally U-shaped shape. It is understood that during the stirring process, the first subsection 2331, the second subsection 2332, and the third subsection 2333 of the stirring element 23 can impact the rice grains, thereby achieving a stirring effect. Simultaneously, some rice grains will pass through the space X3 between the first subsection 2331 and the third subsection 2333. Therefore, designing the stirring section 233 as a U-shaped structure not only achieves a stirring effect but also prevents excessive stirring from causing the rice grains to overflow. From another perspective, due to the space X3 between the first subsection 2331 and the third subsection 2333 of the stirring section 233, even if the stirring element 23 rotates at a relatively high speed, the rice grains will not overflow. It is understood that as the rotation speed of the stirring element 23 increases, the impact of the stirring element 23 on the rice grains increases accordingly, thereby further accelerating the rice grain fragmentation process and thereby shortening the time it takes to produce rice porridge.
