[0062] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0063] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like used in the present application can be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from the second element. The terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof used in the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The term "a plurality of" used in the present application means two or more. The term "and / or" used in the present application means one of the options or any combination of multiple options.

[0064] At present, in addition to manually wiping the residual water in the electric kettle by the user, the electric kettle can also be set to a dry kettle mode. The user can manually start the dry kettle mode to dry the inside of the electric kettle. However, frequent manual starting of the dry kettle mode will increase the user's use burden, in addition, the user may not be able to start the dry kettle mode in time due to negligence or forgetfulness in daily use, resulting in the inside of the kettle not being dried in time, and finally causing rust problems and causing bacteria to breed.

[0065] In view of this, this application provides a method for controlling the drying of an electric kettle, which can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the electric kettle 10 includes a first detection device 102, a second detection device 104, and a controller 106, which are communicatively connected.

[0066] For example, the first detection device 102 is used to obtain the status information of the electric kettle when it receives a working instruction for the electric kettle; the controller 106 is used to obtain the environmental information of the electric kettle's environment from the second detection device 104 when it is determined based on the status information that the electric kettle meets the drying conditions; and to dry the electric kettle using a drying strategy that matches the environmental information.

[0067] The controller 106 refers to the control chip in the electric kettle, which is used to control the control processes related to the electric kettle, such as starting the heating process of the electric kettle and stopping the heating process of the electric kettle.

[0068] The status information includes the weight of the water in the kettle. Therefore, the first detection device 102 can include a weight sensor to detect the weight of the kettle. Subtracting the weight of the kettle when it is empty from the weight of the water in the kettle gives the weight of the water inside. The second detection device 104 depends on the type of information being detected. For example, if the environmental information includes ambient temperature and humidity, the second detection device 104 can include a humidity sensor and a temperature sensor. The humidity sensor detects the ambient humidity of the environment where the kettle is located, and the temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature of the environment where the kettle is located. The installation location of the humidity sensor and temperature sensor in the kettle is not limited; for example, the humidity sensor and temperature sensor can be installed on the base of the kettle.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for controlling the drying of an electric kettle is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking controller 106 as an example, the explanation includes the following steps:

[0070] S202: Upon receiving an operating instruction for the electric kettle, obtain the status information of the electric kettle.

[0071] The operating instruction refers to the command that controls the electric kettle to start working. By receiving the operating instruction, the controller can control the electric kettle to execute the operating mode that matches the operating instruction. For example, if the operating instruction indicates that the electric kettle starts boiling water, the corresponding operating mode is the boiling mode; if the operating instruction indicates that the electric kettle keeps water warm, the corresponding operating mode is the keep-warm mode. There are no restrictions on how the operating instruction is obtained; the following example illustrates this.

[0072] In one embodiment, for the water heating button matched with the electric kettle, if a trigger event for the water heating button is detected, it is determined that a working instruction for the electric kettle is received. That is, the user triggers the water heating button, a trigger event for the water heating button is generated, and the controller can receive the working instruction for the electric kettle. Therefore, the user can quickly control the electric kettle to start heating by directly operating the water heating button, and the water heating efficiency can be improved.

[0073] In one embodiment, for the user terminal matched with the electric kettle, in the case that a water heating event for the electric kettle is triggered based on the user terminal, it is determined that a working instruction for the electric kettle is received. The user terminal is installed with an application corresponding to the electric kettle, and the user triggers a water heating option on the application through touch or click operation, which can trigger the generation of a water heating event for the electric kettle, and the controller can receive the working instruction for the electric kettle. Therefore, the user can start the heating process of the electric kettle by operating the application corresponding to the electric kettle, even if the user is not near the electric kettle, and the use convenience of the electric kettle can be improved.

[0074] In one embodiment, the electric kettle comprises a voice acquisition component for acquiring a voice instruction issued by a user, and in the case that the voice instruction matches the working instruction, it is determined that the working instruction for the electric kettle is received.

[0075] The state information refers to information related to the use state of the electric kettle, and the use state of the electric kettle is used to represent whether the electric kettle is in an empty kettle state. The empty kettle state can represent that the water level in the electric kettle is less than or equal to a preset water level, or the empty kettle state can represent that the water weight in the electric kettle is less than or equal to a preset weight, and the empty kettle state can also be represented in other forms.

[0076] S204, when it is determined based on the state information that the electric kettle meets the drying condition, obtaining environment information of an environment where the electric kettle is located.

[0077] The drying condition refers to a condition set for starting drying of the electric kettle, and whether the electric kettle meets the drying condition can be determined based on the state information. The determination method is not limited and is exemplarily described below.

[0078] In one embodiment, the state information of the electric kettle is obtained by determining the water level in the electric kettle, obtaining the state information of the electric kettle containing the water level, and determining based on the state information that the electric kettle meets the drying condition, including: when the water level is less than or equal to a preset water level, determining that the electric kettle is in an empty kettle state, and then determining that the electric kettle meets the drying condition. Therefore, by considering whether the electric kettle is in an empty kettle state from the water level, the empty kettle state of the electric kettle can be directly determined, and the determination efficiency can be improved.

[0079] In one embodiment, obtaining the state information of the electric kettle includes: determining the water weight in the electric kettle; obtaining the state information of the electric kettle containing the water weight; and determining that the electric kettle satisfies the drying condition based on the state information, including: when the water weight is less than or equal to a preset weight, determining that the electric kettle is in an empty kettle state, and then determining that the electric kettle satisfies the drying condition. Thus, by considering whether the electric kettle is in an empty kettle state from the perspective of the water kettle weight, it can be directly determined that the electric kettle is in an empty kettle state, and the determination efficiency can be improved.

[0080] The environment information is information related to the environment in which the electric kettle is located, and includes but is not limited to: ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and ambient wind speed, etc. The manner of obtaining the environment information is not limited, and examples are described below.

[0081] In one embodiment, the environment information includes ambient temperature and ambient humidity. For example, a smart device in the environment in which the electric kettle is located is determined; and the ambient humidity and the ambient temperature of the environment in which the electric kettle is located are obtained from the smart device. For example, a terminal in the environment in which the electric kettle is located is determined; and the ambient humidity and the ambient temperature of the environment in which the electric kettle is located are obtained from the terminal. Thus, even if the electric kettle does not have a temperature and humidity collection function, the temperature and humidity can still be obtained from a smart device or a terminal in the same environment, and the use intelligence of the electric kettle can be improved.

[0082] For example, the electric kettle includes a wireless communication module, and the controller can obtain the ambient humidity and the ambient temperature of the environment in which the electric kettle is located from the smart device or the terminal based on the wireless communication module. For example, the wireless communication module can be made based on wireless fidelity (WIFI) technology.

[0083] S206, drying the electric kettle using a drying strategy matched with the environment information.

[0084] The drying strategy refers to a strategy used when drying the electric kettle, and includes but is not limited to: final drying time and final drying power, etc., and the final drying power is less than a preset water boiling power of the electric kettle. The manner of determining the drying strategy based on the environment information is not limited, and examples are described below.

[0085] In one embodiment, the environment information includes ambient wind speed, and a preset wind speed range corresponding to a preset drying strategy of the environment wind speed is determined as the drying strategy of the electric kettle based on a mapping relationship between the preset wind speed range and the preset drying strategy.

[0086] The manner of drying the electric kettle using the drying strategy is different when the content of the drying strategy is different, and examples are described below.

[0087] For example, the drying strategy includes a final drying time length and a final drying power, and the electric kettle is dried at the final drying power for the final drying time length. For example, the drying strategy includes a final drying time length, and the electric kettle is dried at a preset setting power for the final drying time length, the preset setting power being less than the preset water boiling power. For example, the drying strategy includes a final drying power, and the electric kettle is dried at the final drying power for a preset drying time length.

[0088] In an embodiment, the electric kettle includes a heating assembly, and the controller can control the heating assembly to dry the electric kettle according to the drying strategy. For example, the controller can also control the heating assembly to heat the electric kettle according to the working instruction corresponding working mode. That is, the heating assembly can be used to dry the electric kettle, and can also be used to heat the electric kettle, but the time for drying the electric kettle and the time for heating the electric kettle are not in the same time period.

[0089] In an embodiment, the electric kettle includes a heating assembly and a drying assembly, and the controller can control the drying assembly to dry the electric kettle according to the drying strategy. The controller can control the heating assembly to heat the electric kettle according to the working instruction corresponding working mode. Thus, by using different assemblies to realize the drying mode and the working mode respectively, the influence between the drying mode and the working mode is avoided, and the use stability of the electric kettle can be improved.

[0090] In an embodiment, before drying the electric kettle according to the drying strategy matched with the environmental information, a first prompt for indicating that the electric kettle is about to enter the drying mode can also be output. Thus, by feeding back the first prompt to the user, the user can know the current working state of the electric kettle, and the use intelligence of the electric kettle can be improved. The manner of outputting the first prompt is not limited, and the following is exemplarily described.

[0091] For example, the electric kettle includes a display screen, and the first prompt for indicating that the electric kettle is about to enter the drying mode is output through the display screen. For example, the electric kettle includes an indicator light, and the first prompt for indicating that the electric kettle is about to enter the drying mode is output through the indicator light, wherein the color and frequency of the indicator light corresponding to the drying mode are different from the color and frequency of the indicator light corresponding to the working mode. For example, the electric kettle includes a voice broadcast assembly, and the voice broadcast assembly is used to play the first prompt for indicating that the electric kettle is about to enter the drying mode. For example, the first prompt is output in the form of a pop-up window based on the application program corresponding to the electric kettle.

[0092] In one embodiment, after drying the electric kettle using a drying strategy matched to environmental information, the kettle can be turned off, and / or a second prompt indicating that the kettle has completed the drying process can be output. When it is determined that the kettle meets the drying conditions, a third prompt indicating that the kettle is empty can be output. The methods for outputting the second and third prompts can refer to the methods for outputting the first prompt described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0093] based on Figure 2 The process, as shown, involves receiving a working instruction for the electric kettle, obtaining its status information, and then, based on that information, determining that the kettle meets the drying conditions. Finally, it obtains the environmental information of the kettle's surroundings and employs a drying strategy that matches this environmental information to dry the kettle. This allows the drying process to be adaptively initiated based on the kettle's status information, eliminating the need for frequent manual operation by the user and improving the kettle's convenience and intelligence. Furthermore, by using a drying strategy that matches the environmental information of the kettle's surroundings, over-drying can be avoided, improving drying accuracy and reducing drying risks.

[0094] In one embodiment, the environmental information includes ambient temperature and ambient humidity. Specifically, determining the implementation method of the drying strategy (i.e., S204) that matches the environmental information can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes:

[0095] S302, determine a target drying strategy that matches at least one of ambient temperature and ambient humidity from at least two preset drying strategies.

[0096] Among them, the preset drying strategy refers to the pre-set drying strategy of the electric kettle. The preset drying strategy corresponds to at least one of the preset humidity range and preset temperature range. The preset drying strategy includes, but is not limited to: preset drying time and preset drying power, etc. The preset drying power is less than the preset boiling power, and the preset drying time is less than the maximum drying time.

[0097] The larger the lower limit of the preset humidity range, the greater the preset drying power of the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset humidity range, and the shorter the preset drying time of the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset humidity range. For example, the preset drying strategy includes a first drying strategy and a second drying strategy. The lower limit of the preset humidity range corresponding to the first drying strategy is greater than a first humidity threshold, and the upper limit of the preset humidity range corresponding to the second drying strategy is less than or equal to the first humidity threshold.

[0098] The preset humidity range corresponding to the first drying strategy can represent a high humidity range, and the preset humidity range corresponding to the second drying strategy can represent a low humidity range. The drying power in the first drying strategy is greater than the drying power in the second drying strategy. The drying time in the first drying strategy is less than the drying time in the second drying strategy. The first humidity threshold is less than or equal to the set humidity threshold. For example, the set humidity threshold is 70%, and the first humidity threshold can be 60%.

[0099] For example, the preset water boiling frequency of the electric kettle is 1000 watts, the drying power in the first drying strategy can be 500 watts, and the drying power in the second drying strategy can be 200 watts. The maximum drying time is 1 minute, the drying time in the first drying strategy is 20 seconds, and the drying time in the second drying strategy can be 40 seconds.

[0100] For example, the preset drying strategy includes a third drying strategy and a fourth drying strategy. The upper limit value of the preset temperature range corresponding to the third drying strategy is less than the first temperature threshold, and the lower limit value of the preset temperature range corresponding to the fourth drying strategy is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold.

[0101] The second temperature threshold is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, and the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold are values in the set temperature range. For example, the lower limit value of the set temperature range is 20℃, and the upper limit value is 35℃. The first temperature threshold can be 20℃, and the second temperature threshold can be 30℃.

[0102] The target drying strategy refers to a preset drying strategy selected from at least two preset drying strategies. The manner of determining the target drying strategy that matches at least one of the environmental temperature and the environmental humidity is not limited and is exemplarily described below.

[0103] In one embodiment, the environmental information includes the environmental humidity. For example, based on the mapping relationship between the preset humidity range and the preset drying strategy, the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset humidity range in which the environmental humidity is located is determined as the target drying strategy. For example, a humidity difference between the environmental humidity and the preset humidity, and a first adjustment coefficient matching the humidity difference are determined. When the first adjustment coefficient is less than or equal to a first preset coefficient, the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset humidity range in which the preset humidity is located is determined as the target drying strategy. When the first adjustment coefficient is greater than the first preset coefficient, the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset humidity range in which the preset humidity is located is adjusted based on the first adjustment coefficient to obtain the target drying strategy.

[0104] For example, the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset humidity range in which the preset humidity is located includes a preset drying duration and a preset drying power. A product of the preset drying duration and the first adjustment coefficient is determined as an adjusted preset drying duration. A product of the preset drying power and the first adjustment coefficient is determined as an adjusted preset drying power. A target drying strategy including the adjusted preset drying duration and the adjusted preset drying power is obtained.

[0105] In an embodiment, the environmental information includes an environmental temperature. For example, based on a mapping relationship between preset temperature ranges and preset drying strategies, a preset drying strategy corresponding to a preset temperature range in which the environmental temperature is located is determined as a target drying strategy. For example, a temperature difference between the environmental temperature and a preset temperature is determined, and a second adjustment coefficient matching the temperature difference is determined. When the second adjustment coefficient is less than or equal to a second preset coefficient, a preset drying strategy corresponding to a preset temperature range in which the preset temperature is located is determined as the target drying strategy. When the second adjustment coefficient is greater than the second preset coefficient, the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset temperature range in which the preset temperature is located is adjusted based on the second adjustment coefficient to obtain the target drying strategy.

[0106] For example, the preset drying strategy corresponding to the preset temperature range in which the preset temperature is located includes a preset drying duration. A product of the preset drying duration and the second adjustment coefficient is determined as an adjusted preset drying duration. A target drying strategy including the adjusted preset drying duration is obtained.

[0107] In an embodiment, the environmental information includes an environmental temperature and an environmental humidity. Based on a mapping relationship between preset temperature ranges, preset humidity ranges and preset drying strategies, a preset drying strategy matching the environmental temperature and the environmental humidity is determined as a target drying strategy. For example, based on a mapping relationship between preset temperature ranges and preset drying strategies, a preset drying strategy corresponding to a preset temperature range in which the environmental temperature is located is determined as a first drying strategy. Based on a mapping relationship between preset humidity ranges and preset drying strategies, a preset drying strategy corresponding to a preset humidity range in which the environmental humidity is located is determined as a second drying strategy. The target drying strategy is determined based on the first drying strategy and the second drying strategy.

[0108] For example, the first drying strategy includes a first drying duration and a first drying strategy, and the second drying strategy includes a second drying duration and a second drying strategy.

[0109] For example, the average of the first drying time and the second drying time is determined as the target drying time of the electric kettle; the average of the first drying power and the second drying power is determined as the target drying power of the electric kettle; thus, a target drying strategy incorporating the target drying time and the target drying power is obtained. Therefore, the electric kettle can be dried at the target drying power within the target drying time, and the drying accuracy can be improved by balancing preset drying strategies corresponding to ambient temperature and humidity.

[0110] For example, the maximum of the first drying time and the second drying time is determined as the target drying time of the electric kettle; the minimum of the first drying power and the second drying power is determined as the target drying power of the electric kettle; thus, a target drying strategy incorporating the target drying time and the target drying power is obtained. Therefore, by drying the electric kettle for a longer time with the minimum power, the drying risk can be reduced while the drying accuracy can be improved.

[0111] S304, Based on the target drying strategy, determine the drying strategy for the electric kettle.

[0112] The method for determining the drying strategy of the electric kettle based on the target drying strategy is not limited. For example, the target drying strategy can be determined as the drying strategy of the electric kettle, or other methods can be used to determine it.

[0113] based on Figure 3 The content shown describes a drying strategy for an electric kettle that is determined by considering at least one of ambient temperature and ambient humidity. This strategy is matched to the environment in which the electric kettle is located, thereby improving the drying accuracy when drying an electric kettle in the environment.

[0114] In one embodiment, the target drying strategy includes a target drying time; based on the target drying strategy, the implementation method of the electric kettle's drying strategy (i.e., S304) is determined, which can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0115] S402, when the target drying strategy matches the ambient humidity but does not match the ambient temperature, the target drying time is adjusted according to the ambient temperature to obtain the adjusted target drying strategy.

[0116] Among them, the target drying strategy is matched with the ambient humidity, while the target drying strategy is not matched with the ambient temperature. This is used to characterize that the ambient temperature was not considered when determining the target drying strategy based on the ambient humidity.

[0117] In one embodiment, when the ambient temperature is below a first temperature threshold, the target drying time is increased; when the ambient temperature is above or equal to a second temperature threshold, the target drying time is decreased; the second temperature threshold is above or equal to the first temperature threshold. Therefore, when the ambient temperature is below the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the ambient temperature of the kettle's environment cannot assist in accelerating drying, and increasing the target drying time can improve drying efficiency. Similarly, when the ambient temperature is above or equal to the second temperature threshold, it indicates that the ambient temperature of the kettle's environment can assist in accelerating drying, and decreasing the target drying time can improve drying effect while saving energy.

[0118] In one embodiment, the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the preset temperature, and a first adjustment coefficient matching the temperature difference are determined; when the first adjustment coefficient is greater than the first preset coefficient, the product of the first adjustment coefficient and the target drying time, and the sum of the first adjustment coefficient and the target drying time, are determined as the adjusted target drying time; based on the adjusted target drying time, the adjusted target drying strategy is obtained.

[0119] Specifically, when the first adjustment coefficient is less than or equal to the first preset coefficient, the target drying time is not adjusted.

[0120] S404, Based on the adjusted target drying strategy, determine the drying strategy for the electric kettle.

[0121] For example, the adjusted target drying strategy can be determined as the drying strategy for an electric kettle.

[0122] based on Figure 4 The content shown demonstrates that, when the target drying strategy is matched with the ambient humidity but not with the ambient temperature, the target drying time is adjusted according to the ambient temperature. This allows the adjusted target drying strategy to balance the ambient temperature and humidity, thereby improving the drying effect when drying an electric kettle in the environment based on the adjusted target drying strategy.

[0123] In one embodiment, the method further includes: starting a timer when the electric kettle meets the drying conditions; and using a drying strategy matched with environmental information to dry the electric kettle, including: if the state information does not change during the timing process and the timing duration reaches a preset duration, then using a drying strategy matched with environmental information to dry the electric kettle. Therefore, by starting the timer, a certain amount of time is reserved for the user, avoiding initiating the drying process of the electric kettle while it is boiling water, thus improving the accuracy of the kettle's drying control.

[0124] The preset timing duration is less than or equal to the set duration. For example, if the set duration is 7 minutes, the preset timing duration can be set to 5 minutes.

[0125] Exemplarily, in a case that the state information does not change during the timing process and the timing duration reaches the preset timing duration, a first prompt for indicating that the electric kettle is about to enter the drying mode is output.

[0126] Exemplarily, during the timing process, if a shutdown instruction for the electric kettle is detected, the electric kettle is controlled to enter a shutdown state, i.e., the drying mode of the electric kettle is cancelled.

[0127] Exemplarily, in a case that the state information changes during the timing process, the step of obtaining the state information of the electric kettle in a case that a working instruction for the electric kettle is received is returned to, so as to re-perform the drying determination.

[0128] Exemplarily, during the timing process, if an adjustment instruction for the electric kettle is detected, the step of obtaining the state information of the electric kettle in a case that a working instruction for the electric kettle is received is returned to, so as to re-perform the drying determination. The adjustment instruction can refer to adjustment of the working mode of the electric kettle, for example, adjustment of the working mode from the boiling mode to the keep-warm mode.

[0129] In combination with the above, the electric kettle is taken as an example of a cast iron electric kettle, and as shown in Figure 5 , a drying control method of the electric kettle is provided. The method is taken as an example of the controller 106 in Figure 1 for illustration, and includes the following steps:

[0130] S502, determining whether a working instruction for the electric kettle is received.

[0131] If the working instruction is received, S504 is executed, otherwise, it is determined whether the working instruction for the electric kettle is received.

[0132] S504, determining whether the cast iron electric kettle is in an empty kettle state based on the water weight in the cast iron electric kettle.

[0133] If the cast iron electric kettle is in the empty kettle state, S506 is executed, otherwise, it is continuously determined whether the cast iron electric kettle is in the empty kettle state.

[0134] S506, starting timing.

[0135] S508, determining whether the state information during the timing process changes.

[0136] If the state information does not change, S510 is executed, otherwise, S502 is executed.

[0137] S510, determining whether the timing duration reaches a preset timing duration.

[0138] If the timing duration reaches the preset timing duration, S512 is executed, otherwise, S508 is executed.

[0139] S512, determining a target drying strategy based on the ambient humidity of the environment in which the cast iron electric kettle is located, the target drying strategy including a target drying duration and a target drying power.

[0140] S514, adjusting the target drying duration based on the ambient temperature of the environment in which the cast iron electric kettle is located, to obtain an adjusted target drying duration.

[0141] S516, drying the cast iron electric kettle at the target drying power for the adjusted target drying duration.

[0142] The specific content of S502-S516 can be referred to the foregoing content, which will not be described here again.

[0143] It can be understood that the cast iron electric kettle is different from the ordinary stainless steel, the heat capacity of the cast iron is larger, and heating for a short time will not cause local overheating, which can improve the drying safety of the cast iron electric kettle.

[0144] In conclusion, the method provided in the present application determines whether the user has performed the water boiling operation (the kettle is filled with water after the water boiling operation is performed by default, which is in a wet state), specifically, whether the working instruction for the electric kettle is received. In the case that the working instruction for the electric kettle is received, the water weight in the cast iron electric kettle can be obtained through the weight sensor; when it is determined that the cast iron electric kettle is in an empty kettle state based on the water weight in the cast iron electric kettle, the timing is started, that is, when it is detected that the water boiling operation is performed and the kettle is in an empty kettle state, the timing is started. Further, if there is no operation change within the pre-designed timing duration (such as 5 minutes), the cast iron electric kettle is dried, and if there is an operation change (such as when the cast iron electric kettle is in a non-empty kettle state or the user presses other keys except the shutdown key) during the drying, it is determined again whether the cast iron electric kettle is dried. If the user presses the shutdown key, the kettle is directly shut down. When the cast iron electric kettle is dried, the drying strategy can be determined based on the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity of the environment in which the cast iron electric kettle is located, and after the drying is completed, the kettle can be automatically shut down. Therefore, the present application realizes the full-automatic operation of the drying mode of the electric kettle through the intelligent control method, without the need for the user to frequently manually operate, which reflects the high intelligence of the product. The traditional dry kettle function needs to be manually started by the user, which is easy to cause the user to forget to operate and cause the kettle to rust. The present application automatically determines the state of the kettle and starts the drying mode when the conditions are met, which avoids the situation that the user forgets to operate due to negligence, significantly improves the user experience, and makes the product more convenient and time-saving. Moreover, the drying duration is dynamically adjusted based on the ambient temperature of the environment in which the electric kettle is located, which can improve the drying efficiency of the electric kettle and avoid the waste of time resources caused by excessive drying.

[0145] Specifically, in a case that it is determined based on the state information that the electric kettle meets the drying condition, the environment information of an environment where the electric kettle is located is obtained, so that a drying strategy matched with the environment information can be adaptively determined. For example, in a low-humidity environment, a low-power and long-period drying strategy is adopted; in a high-humidity environment, a high-power and short-period drying strategy is adopted. The electric kettle is dried by adopting the drying strategy matched with the environment information, and after the drying is completed, the drying mode is automatically turned off, and it is prompted by a user feedback module (such as a display screen or an indicator light) that the operation is completed. Then, the electric kettle can enter an off state and wait for the next operation of the user.
