Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of burners for burning gas fuel, and in particular to an intelligent gas stove burner. Background Art

[0002] The traditional gas stove burner structure generally adopts a fixed nozzle and static flame configuration. Although it can achieve basic combustion functions under standardized cookware and stable gas source conditions, in actual applications, due to the diverse types of cookware, flexible usage methods, air pressure fluctuations, environmental disturbances and other factors, it often leads to uneven fire distribution, low thermal energy utilization, insufficient or overheating of local heating, flame drift, and even backfire, which seriously affect cooking efficiency and safety of use.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN2742292Y discloses a gas nozzle with adjustable combustion direction. This nozzle outlet direction is adjustable primarily through mechanical structure to accommodate different heating requirements. While this solution provides a certain degree of flexibility in flame direction at the structural level, its technical implementation still has the following prominent drawbacks:

[0004] 1) The flame direction is adjusted by mechanical rotation control of a single-point nozzle, lacking an array and linkage structural design, making it impossible to achieve spatially customized allocation of the firepower across the entire bottom of the pot;

[0005] 2) There is no intelligent recognition mechanism and it cannot identify the size, material or heating status of the cookware. Flame adjustment relies on manual judgment and operation, which leads to a poor user experience.

[0006] 3) It lacks the ability to detect and provide feedback on flame status or pot bottom temperature in real time, lacks a closed-loop control system, and the firepower adjustment cannot achieve dynamic response;

[0007] 4) The safety monitoring module is not integrated, and rapid protection actions cannot be performed in the event of abnormal combustion or gas source fluctuations, which poses a risk of use.

[0008] In addition, the existing technology also has the following widespread defects:

[0009] 1. The nozzle structure generally has a fixed angle and fixed distribution, which makes it difficult to achieve adaptive adjustment of the flame pattern according to the actual state of the cookware;

[0010] 2. The sensor input dimensions are limited, mostly limited to temperature or air pressure monitoring, and lack multi-source fusion perception systems such as weight and infrared images;

[0011] 3. Most control strategies are based on traditional mechanical / electronic control switching and lack dynamic ignition control logic supported by intelligent algorithms;

[0012] The present invention is made in order to solve the common problems in this field, such as fixed flame configuration, rigid adjustment method, poor cookware matching, insufficient perception ability, slow control response and weak safety protection. Summary of the Invention

Optionally, the pot 5 identification and detection unit includes a pressure sensing component, an infrared material identification component, and a pot 5 status calculator.

The infrared emitting component 12 is used to radiate infrared light of a specific wavelength (preferably 8-12 μm) toward the bottom of the pot 5 after it is placed, thereby exciting the surface of the pot 5 to generate a reflection signal. The infrared emitting component 12 includes a mid-infrared band LED array or a quantum cascade laser. The infrared receiving component 13 is arranged on the inner wall of the oven cavity opposite to the bottom of the pot 5, and is used to receive the reflected infrared radiation and output an analog voltage signal.

The gain factor is: Where G is the voltage gain of the amplifier (dimensionless), which represents the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage; R f It is a feedback resistor connected between the output and negative input of the operational amplifier to control the feedback amount; R inThe input resistor is connected between the input signal and the negative input of the operational amplifier to set the impedance of the input channel. The above parameters need to be reasonably selected and adjusted based on factors such as the target gain, circuit environment, and noise tolerance. In this embodiment, they are not further described.

[0068] The RC low-pass filter network is connected to the output end of the gain amplifier and is composed of a limiting resistor and a filter capacitor in series. The cut-off frequency f c : Where R is the resistance value, usually the limiting resistor or load resistor in the filter circuit. C is the capacitance value, which is the filter capacitor. The above formula is applicable to first-order RC filter circuits (such as RC low-pass or RC high-pass). R and C can be selected according to actual needs to design the required filter characteristics (i.e., set the frequency range that the filter blocks or passes). Wherein, the cut-off frequency f c Used to filter out high-frequency electromagnetic interference;

[0069] The sampling and holding unit is composed of a sampling and holding chip (such as LF398), which collects and latches the filtered analog signal and outputs it to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for digital processing.

[0070] In addition, in this embodiment, the data received by the infrared transmitting component and the infrared receiving component are subjected to amplitude enhancement and high-frequency noise filtering by the signal conditioning circuit. The method of improving the signal-to-noise ratio is a conventional technical means. Those skilled in the art can obtain this technology according to relevant technical manuals and implement it. This is a technical means well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0081] S36. Output the heat conduction parameters corresponding to the material, including thermal conductivity k, thermal diffusion coefficient α, and specific heat capacity C. The heat conduction parameters are transmitted to the evaluation module for use in calculating the target heat load of the cookware.

When the heat in the combustion zone increases during the heating process of the pot 5, it is transmitted to the heat-conducting ribs 10 via the fixed probe 11, the induction needle and the sliding track 28, and then further transmitted to the shape memory alloy deformable sheet 9. After reaching the set transformation temperature (set to 120°C in this embodiment), the shape memory alloy deformable sheet 9 transforms from the martensite phase to the austenite phase and returns to the preset bending shape, thereby driving the tongue plate to open the oxygen supply port 8, increasing the auxiliary oxygen supply and improving the combustion efficiency.

[0100] When the temperature drops, the shape memory alloy deformable piece 9 returns to its initial state due to its material properties, driving the adjustment of the opening of the shape memory alloy deformable piece 9 to achieve passive self-regulation.

[0101] It automatically adjusts oxygen supply through combustion heat, and has the advantages of simple structure, rapid response, energy saving and high efficiency.

[0102] Optionally, the induction adjustment assembly includes an adjustment roller 25, a fixed sleeve 21, and an adjustment toothed belt 26. The adjustment roller 25 is hinged to the side wall of the action chamber 24 to form an adjustment portion.

The sliding block 30 is slidably connected to the sliding track 28 and transfers the heat conducted by the conduction rod 29 to the sliding track 28. At the same time, the sliding track 28 is connected to the heat-conducting rib 10 to form a heat transfer channel.

[0108] A heat-conducting material is provided between the sliding block 30 and the sliding track 28 to improve the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0109] In this embodiment, a fixed probe 11 and a sensing probe 27 serve as heat transfer elements, positioned between the combustion zone and the auxiliary oxygen supply channel. One end of the probe is wedged into the combustion zone of the furnace base 1, while the other end is connected to the auxiliary oxygen supply channel via a conductive structure. The fixed probe 11 is directly connected to the heat-conducting rib 10 to continuously transfer combustion heat. The sensing probe 27, through a sliding block 30 and a sliding track 28, forms a movable heat transfer component, which can be adjusted in response to the channel temperature.

[0110] The outer wall of the sliding track 28 is connected to the spirally arranged heat-conducting ribs 10 on the inner wall of the auxiliary oxygen supply channel to form a continuous heat conduction path; the probe conducts the high-temperature heat of the combustion zone to the sliding track 28, and then heats the air in the channel through the heat-conducting ribs 10 to achieve intake air preheating.

[0111] The waste heat generated by the combustion process in the cooker 5 is used to preheat the air, effectively increasing the mixing temperature and reaction efficiency of the gas and air, enhancing combustion stability and improving the overall thermal efficiency of the system. Furthermore, the probe structure and the adjustment component are linked to achieve adaptive air ratio adjustment, eliminating the need for additional electrical heating components. This compact structure and responsive response offer excellent engineering feasibility and energy-saving benefits.

[0112] The adjusting roller 25 is hinged to the side wall of the action chamber 24 through the connecting rod to form a hinged portion. When the operator adjusts the adjusting roller 25, the adjusting roller 25 is turned so that the hinged portion can be lifted along the axial direction of the sensing needle, and the end of the sensing needle close to the combustion area is wedged into the combustion area, and receives the heat of the sensing needle, and at the same time conducts the heat to the thermal rib 10.

[0113] Optionally, the nozzle array control module includes a nozzle 19 adjustment control component, at least two nozzle 19 units arranged on the furnace chamber base 1, and an independently drivable electric control adjustment mechanism 17 equipped with at least two of the nozzle 19 units, and at least two of the nozzle 19 units are arranged according to a preset array structure to cover multiple heating areas at the bottom of the pot 5; the nozzle 19 adjustment control component is used to receive the injection strategy output by the evaluation module, and combine the pot 5 status data and the target heat load to generate the injection direction angle and gas outlet intensity control instructions of each nozzle 19 unit; the electric control adjustment mechanism 17 is used to receive the instructions of the corresponding nozzle 19 adjustment control component, and drive the connected nozzle 19 units to perform injection direction adjustment and flow control, so as to realize the spatial linkage adjustment of the array nozzle 19 to form a flame configuration that adapts to the thermal requirements of the pot 5.

[0114] The nozzle 19 unit includes a fixed air outlet net 23, a connecting pipe 20, a limiting rod 18, a lifting toothed belt, and at least two nozzles 19. A rotating chamber is provided in the fixed air outlet net 23. One end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 20 and is connected to the gas supply end of the gas supply channel 3. The other end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to the nozzle 19. The two ends of the limiting rod 18 are respectively hinged to the inner wall of the rotating chamber to form a turning portion 22. At least two nozzles 19 are spaced apart in the middle of the rod body of the limiting rod 18 and are connected to the middle of the limiting rod 18. The lifting toothed belt is arranged on the outer wall of the rod body of the limiting rod 18 to form an engaging portion. The engaging portion is driven and connected to the electrically controlled adjustment mechanism 17 so that at least two nozzles 19 rotate following the limiting rod 18.

[0115] like Figure 9 As shown, the electric control adjustment mechanism 17 is arranged below the fixed air outlet net 23 and engages with the engaging portion.

[0116] The connecting pipe 20 is configured as a flexible pipe (multi-joint connection structure), such as Figure 9 As shown, it can be swung in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface to adjust the spray angle.

[0117] The furnace cavity base 1 is provided with an air outlet cavity, one end of which is connected to the interior of the gas supply channel 3, and the other end of the air outlet cavity extends toward a side away from the gas supply channel 3 and passes through the upper top wall of the furnace cavity base 1 to form a gas combustion area.

[0118] The gas supply channel 3 is connected to the outside through the gas inlet nozzle 2. At the same time, a pressure reducing valve (not shown) is provided inside the gas inlet nozzle 2.

[0119] In addition, external gas enters the gas supply channel 3 through the gas inlet nozzle 2 and flows along the Figure 4The flow is in the x→y→z direction shown.

[0120] In this embodiment, the fixed gas outlet net 23 is configured as a breathable mesh gas hole and is covered on the gas outlet cavity, so that the gas can smoothly reach the gas combustion area and burn in the gas combustion area.

[0121] In addition, a movable groove for placing the nozzle 19 is provided on the fixed air outlet net 23 , and the size of the movable groove is adapted to the movable range of the nozzle 19 .

[0122] At the same time, the fixed air outlet net 23 is provided with a first storage tank and a second storage tank for placing a fixed probe 11 and at least one sensing probe 27. Figure 5 As shown, the fixed probe 11 and at least one sensing probe 27 are symmetrically arranged in the first storage slot and the second storage slot of the fixed air outlet network 23 .

[0123] The nozzle 19 adjustment control component includes an injection strategy parser, a pot 5 state reference library, a data retriever, an instruction generator and an output bus interface. The injection strategy parser receives and parses the injection strategy data output by the evaluation module; the pot 5 state reference library stores the mapping relationship between different pot 5 parameters and flame configurations; the data retriever retrieves the injection direction angle and gas outlet intensity of each nozzle 19 generated by the control strategy unit of the evaluation module; the instruction generator encapsulates the calculation results into drive instructions and distributes them to each electronic control adjustment mechanism 17; the output bus interface sends the instructions to multiple nozzle 19 unit control loops.

[0124] The working steps of the nozzle adjustment control assembly include:

[0125] S41, the injection strategy parser receives the injection strategy information output by the evaluation module, including the heat demand distribution of the pot heating area, the flame offset correction parameter, and the nozzle number mapping table;

[0126] S42, the injection strategy parser decodes and normalizes the injection strategy data transmitted by the evaluation module to generate a standardized input vector for the parameter calculator to call, including: a two-dimensional heat load matrix, a cookware eccentricity coordinate vector, and a unit heat compensation value;

[0127] The two-dimensional heat load matrix represents the unit heat flux expected to be achieved in each area of ​​the bottom of the cookware; the cookware eccentric coordinate vector is used to describe the offset of the cookware's center of gravity relative to the center of the nozzle array, which is used to correct the flame center; the unit heat compensation value is used to adjust the heat energy adjustment coefficient set according to the cookware material and thermal conductivity, which is used to adjust the output compensation level of different nozzles;

[0128] S43, the injection strategy parser calls the cookware state reference library based on the current cookware state data to obtain the recommended flame configuration template and constraint conditions;

[0129] Among them, the constraints include: maximum nozzle deflection angle limit (such as ±20°), maximum / minimum flame heat intensity boundary, pot edge safety protection zone (the jet flame must not extend outside the pot), pot bottom temperature difference balance threshold (that is, the temperature difference ΔT at the bottom of the pot cannot exceed the set value); minimum flame interference distance between adjacent nozzles.

[0130] The injection strategy parser uses the following steps to extract the recommended flame configuration template from the cookware state reference library:

[0131] 1) The injection strategy parser constructs the pot status label, which is the following pot status parameters:

[0132] Pot shape (bottom shape): flat bottom, curved bottom, convex bottom;

[0133] Material type: aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, composite multilayer;

[0134] Total mass level: light (in this embodiment, limited to less than 1 kg), medium (1-2 kg), heavy (in this embodiment, limited to more than 2 kg);

[0135] Contact area levels: small (in this embodiment, limited to less than 60% of the chassis), medium (60-85%), large (in this embodiment, limited to more than 85%);

[0136] Degree of center of gravity shift: no eccentricity, slight eccentricity, obvious eccentricity.

[0137] 2) The jetting strategy parser discretizes the above parameters to form a label combination, such as: pan type - material - weight grade - contact area - eccentricity state (for example: frying pan - aluminum - medium - medium - no eccentricity).

[0138] The state reference library presets the Yuzhang label combination and template number mapping table, for example: the template number of flat bottom-aluminum-medium-medium-no eccentricity is: FLAME-TYPE-A01; the template number of arc bottom-cast iron-heavy-large-slightly eccentric is: FLAME-TYPE-C07; the template number of flat bottom-stainless steel-light-small-obvious eccentricity is: FLAME-TYPE-B05.

[0139] 3) After the pot is identified, the injection strategy parser matches the tag combination generated in real time with the mapping table:

[0140] If the match is successful, the corresponding template is called directly;

[0141] If the match fails, the default template is called, where the default template is preset and stored in the state reference library.

[0142] In addition, in this embodiment, each template number corresponds to a set of flame distribution matrix, preferred nozzle participating unit, power distribution strategy and deflection angle initial value.

[0143] S44, the data retriever retrieves the spray direction angle and the air outlet intensity of each nozzle generated by the control strategy unit of the evaluation module and combines them to form a control parameter;

[0144] S45, the instruction generator encapsulates the above control parameters into a control frame, indicating the nozzle number, angle instruction, flow control value, and synchronization bit;

[0145] S46. The output bus interface sends control instructions to the corresponding electronic control adjustment mechanism in sequence according to the nozzle array arrangement, so as to realize the linkage adjustment of nozzle steering and gas intensity.

[0146] The electrically controlled adjustment mechanism 17 includes a control drive mechanism, a drive gear, an identification probe, and at least two positioning marking members. The drive gear is connected to the control drive mechanism to form a drive unit, and the drive unit is engaged with the toothed belt of the nozzle 19 unit. At least two positioning marking members are arranged on the rotation path of the drive unit and are distributed at equal intervals. The identification probe is arranged on the drive gear and extends toward one side of at least two positioning marking members. When the control drive mechanism rotates, the identification probe identifies at least two positioning marking members in real time and ensures precise control of the steering of the nozzle 19.

[0147] The electronically controlled adjustment mechanism 17 adjusts the angle of the nozzle 19 unit by regulating the driving mechanism. The specific process is as follows:

[0148] First, the central processing unit sends a target displacement instruction to the control drive mechanism (preferably a micro stepping motor or servo motor) based on the injection direction angle instruction generated by the injection strategy; the control drive mechanism drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear engages with the toothed belt structure of the nozzle 19 unit to convert the rotational motion into an angle adjustment in the direction of the nozzle 19, thereby realizing a change in the injection direction.

[0149] To ensure precise and controllable steering adjustment of the nozzle unit 19, multiple equally spaced positioning markers are pre-set along the rotational path of the drive gear. An identification probe (such as a photoelectric identifier or Hall effect sensor) is fixed above the drive gear, facing the direction of the positioning markers. As the drive gear rotates, the identification probe detects each positioning marker it passes by and feeds the detection signal back to the central processing unit in real time.

[0150] The central processing unit compares the mark counting information fed back by the identification probe with the preset angle mapping relationship to determine whether the current rotation angle of the nozzle 19 reaches the set target value; if not, the control drive mechanism continues to be driven for fine-tuning; if the target angle has been reached, the central processing unit issues a stop command to complete the precise positioning of the direction of the nozzle 19.

[0151] Through the above-mentioned real-time feedback closed-loop control method, high-precision adjustment of the rotation angle of the nozzle 19 unit can be achieved, ensuring the linkage and coordination of the spraying direction and intensity of each nozzle 19 unit, forming a flame configuration that matches the requirements of the cookware 5.

[0152] Optionally, the evaluation module includes a data processing unit and a control strategy unit, the data processing unit is used to receive the pot 5 status data, flame heating status data and flame distribution data from the intelligent detection module, and calculate the current target heat load corresponding to the pot 5 based on a preset multi-parameter evaluation model in combination with the heat capacity parameters, bottom temperature distribution gradient and offset of the flame coverage area of ​​the pot 5; the control strategy unit generates gas flow and air ratio control instructions for the combustion control module according to the target heat load, and calculates the injection direction and output intensity parameters of each nozzle 19 unit in the nozzle array control module in combination with the flame distribution deviation information to achieve adaptive optimization of the flame space configuration.

[0153] In the present invention, the evaluation module constructs a multi-parameter heat load assessment model based on the pot 5 status data, flame coverage area, temperature gradient, and thermal conductivity. This model outputs the overall target heat load Qtotal of the pot 5, which serves as the global control variable for intelligent combustion control. This target heat load, along with a flame deviation correction function and a pot bottom heating uniformity strategy, is passed as input to the nozzle 19 adjustment control component in the nozzle array control module. This parameter calculator discretizes the overall heat load based on the heat demand of the pot bottom space and outputs the injection parameters for each nozzle 19.

[0154] The data processing unit calculates the target heat load Q corresponding to the cookware according to the cookware status data, temperature response characteristics and flame spatial distribution information using the following steps: total :

[0156] S52. Calculate the heat load density per unit area q(x,y) of the pot bottom at position (x,y) based on the heat capacity of the pot:

[0157]

[0158] Where ρ is the density of the cookware material, in kg / m 3 , its value is determined by the infrared material recognition component to identify the type of cookware material (such as aluminum, stainless steel, etc.), and then the physical parameters of the corresponding material are searched from the preset material database; C is the specific heat capacity of the cookware material, in J / (kg·K), its value is determined by the infrared material recognition component to identify the type of cookware material (such as aluminum, stainless steel, etc.), and then the physical parameters of the corresponding material are searched from the preset material database; d is the thickness of the pot bottom, in m, and its value is the default thickness value set for a specific pot type (such as 2.5mm for aluminum pots and 3.0mm for stainless steel pots, etc.); T target (x, y) is the desired temperature of the pot bottom at position (x, y), in °C or K, and its value is set by the control strategy unit; T current (x, y) is the current temperature of the pot bottom at the current position, in °C or K. Its value is the real-time temperature distribution data collected by the distributed thermocouple array or infrared temperature measurement module at the pot bottom. Δt is the heating cycle or unit time interval set for evaluation, in seconds. Its value is preset by the evaluation module, such as 1 second or 0.5 second, depending on the control frequency and response speed requirements.

[0159] S53, the data processing unit adds up the heat load density of each grid unit and multiplies it by the grid area A unit , and get the total target heat load value:

[0160]

[0161] Where Δq(x,y) is the compensation heat flux, which is used to correct the uneven heating caused by the flame coverage deviation; M, N are the number of grids in the pot bottom area in the x-axis and y-axis directions, and A unit The grid area of ​​the pot bottom covered by the nozzle is divided into M×N equal-area area units, each unit area.

[0162] The compensation heat flux is calculated according to the following formula: Δq(x,y)=q(x,y)-q actual (x,y), where q actual (x,y) is the actual heat flux, satisfying:

[0163]

[0164] Where, P i (x, y) represents the effective thermal power projection value of the flame generated by nozzle unit i on the grid point (x, y) on the pot bottom. Its value is affected by factors such as the nozzle output intensity, the spatial distribution of the flame, and the spatial projection relationship between the flame and the point. In this embodiment, its value is determined according to the following formula:

[0165]

[0166] Where, F i is the total injection thermal power of nozzle i; (x i ,y i ) is the projection coordinate of nozzle i on the pan bottom plane; σ is the flame heat diffusion radius, reflecting the half-width of the flame coverage range, preferably in the range of 8 to 15 mm. In this embodiment, the default setting is σ = 10 (this value is the average heat coverage radius measured through empirical debugging and infrared thermal imaging experiments under typical operating conditions of conventional gas stove structure dimensions, nozzle output power, and flame shape, and can well reflect the distribution characteristics of the flame coverage range of general household stoves); (x, y) are the coordinates of the grid points on the pan bottom. η i It represents the heat conversion efficiency of the heat energy projected by the nozzle unit i at the corresponding grid point (x, y) on the surface of the pot. Its value is affected by factors such as the flame concentration, the thermal conductivity of the pot bottom, and the degree of flame deviation. In this embodiment, η i The value range of η is: 0.65~0.85; among them, when the contact area of ​​the pot is large, the thermal conductivity is good, and the flame is aimed at the center area, the efficiency value is close to the upper limit (such as 0.82); when the flame deviates from the center or the heat loss at the edge of the pot is high, the efficiency can drop to the lower limit (such as 0.68). In this embodiment, it is preferred to set η i =0.75, used to simplify the actual nozzle output power P i Estimation and compensation calculation.

[0167] The control strategy unit includes a heat load deterioration distributor, a flame deviation corrector, a gas / air controller and a parameter calculator. The heat load distributor receives the target heat load Q total , and distributed by area; the flame deviation corrector generates compensation instructions according to the actual distribution of the flame; the gas / air controller outputs driving instructions for controlling the gas and air flow; the parameter calculator calculates the injection direction angle and air outlet intensity of each nozzle according to the pot state, target heat load, template number and injection strategy.

[0170] At the same time, the gas / air controller also calculates the theoretical air-fuel ratio coefficient λ stoich(Refer to the thermal engineering manual according to the type of gas used (such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc.), usually 9.0 to 16.0, depending on the specific composition of the gas source; for example: the lambda of natural gas stoich ≈9.5, liquefied petroleum gas is about 15.5), the set air correction gain α (the air correction gain α is a sensitivity factor for adjusting the air compensation amount, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 0.5. In combination with the thermal response characteristics of the system, α is set to 0.25 in this embodiment) and the flame heat load deviation value ΔQ fed back by the evaluation module max , calculate the air ratio control amount A ratio , and its calculation formula is:

[0171]

[0172] Based on these calculations, the gas / air controller outputs voltage control commands, stepper drive signals, or PWM modulation signals to the combustion control module to adjust the flow control valve and the oxygen supply electronic damper, achieving dynamic and precise control of the gas supply and air mixing ratio. This control process works in conjunction with the nozzle jet intensity control to ensure that the flame output meets the actual heat requirements of the cookware.

[0174]

[0175] Where k v F is the proportional coefficient of the flow control valve; max It is the maximum design gas flow of the system.

[0176] Among them, the control coefficient k of the proportional electronic control flow valve is v , used to convert the target gas flow rate Fgas into a drive control signal. Its value is determined based on the electronically controlled valve response curve, with a preferred range of 0.5 to 5.0. In this embodiment, kv = 2.0 is selected. This value is obtained through experimental calibration to ensure a stable and linear response during the flow regulation process.

[0177] The gas flow regulation signal U valve The data is transmitted to the central processor, and the flow control valve is controlled by the important processor to improve the regulation of gas flow.

[0178] The nozzle array control module determines the load distribution of each nozzle, and the combustion control module controls the gas-air ratio and flow rate accordingly, making the overall combustion efficiency higher and the flame output more stable, adapting to the thermal characteristics of different cookware while achieving gas savings.

[0201] Where U i is the gas intensity control value of the i-th nozzle, which is usually expressed as the output value of the electric control signal (such as PWM duty cycle or analog voltage), F max is the maximum design flow rate of the nozzle, U max The maximum output signal of the controller (such as 5V (when the control signal is voltage) or 100% duty cycle (when the control signal is PWM)).

[0202] The intelligent detection module provides real-time perception of the pot's status, flame state, and heat distribution at the pot bottom, which is then transmitted to the evaluation module for heat load calculation and thermal deviation identification. This allows the system to dynamically analyze the pot's current heating needs, forming a targeted heat load model and significantly improving heat distribution accuracy. The evaluation module outputs spatial heat demand and flame compensation strategies, driving the nozzle array control module to calculate and control the spray angle and air output intensity of each nozzle. This allows the flame configuration to adapt to the pot's status, achieving refined control of the spatial thermal field.
