Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air fryers, and more particularly to a control method, apparatus, storage medium, and air fryer for an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] With social development, the oil-free cooking method of air fryers is becoming increasingly popular. However, most traditional air fryers only have one heating element, resulting in low cooking efficiency and a poor user experience. To meet user needs, a new type of air fryer with dual heating elements has emerged on the market. While this effectively improves heating efficiency, the poor temperature control of the two heating elements leads to suboptimal cooking results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a control method, device, storage medium, and air fryer for an air fryer, in order to solve the technical problems of low cooking efficiency, poor cooking effect, and unsatisfactory user experience of existing air fryers.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a control method for an air fryer. The air fryer includes a cooking chamber, a hot air circulation system connected to the cooking chamber, and a temperature sensor extending into the cooking chamber. A first heating component and a second heating component are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the cooking chamber. The control method for the air fryer includes an air frying / baking stage. During the air frying / baking stage, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking chamber is less than a preset maximum temperature Tmax and greater than a preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the hot air circulation system and the first heating component to operate continuously, and to control the second heating component to operate intermittently. The air fryer, by installing the first heating element and the second heating element at the top and bottom of the cooking cavity respectively, can simultaneously heat the food inside the cooking cavity from both the top and bottom, effectively improving both cooking efficiency and cooking results. Furthermore, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is lower than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and higher than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, the hot air circulation system and the first heating element are continuously operated, while the second heating element is operated intermittently. This not only allows for continuous heating of the food inside the cooking cavity using the first heating element while the second heating element provides auxiliary heating, thereby improving cooking efficiency, but also allows for better temperature regulation inside the cooking cavity by controlling the intermittent operation of the second heating element, thus improving the cooking effect.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity exceeds a preset maximum temperature Tmax, it is suitable to control the first heating component to stop operating and the second heating component to stop operating. By controlling the first and second heating components to stop operating when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity exceeds the preset maximum temperature Tmax, the temperature inside the cooking cavity can be reduced, thereby reducing the problem of food burning due to excessively high temperatures inside the cooking cavity and effectively improving the cooking effect.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is lower than a preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the first heating component to continue operating and the second heating component to continue operating. By controlling the first heating component to continue operating and the second heating component to continue operating when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is lower than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, the temperature inside the cooking cavity can be rapidly increased, thereby enabling cooking and effectively improving cooking efficiency.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, during the air frying stage, the method for controlling the intermittent operation of the second heating component is as follows: after repeatedly controlling the operation for duration T1, the operation is stopped for duration T2. ​​By controlling the second heating component to repeatedly turn on and off, the occurrence of excessively high or low temperatures within the cooking cavity can be reduced, thereby ensuring the cooking effect.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the working time T1 of the second heating component is suitable to be 4s to 6s, and the stopping time T2 is suitable to be 12s to 18s. By reasonably setting the working time T1 and the stopping time T2 of the second heating component, the temperature inside the cooking cavity can be better controlled, thereby cooking food and effectively improving the cooking efficiency and effect.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the hot air circulation system further includes a drive motor and a circulating fan connected to the drive motor. The drive motor is a speed-regulating motor. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is greater than a preset maximum temperature Tmax, the drive motor is adapted to reduce its speed; when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is less than a preset minimum temperature Tmin, the drive motor is adapted to increase its speed. By setting the drive motor as a speed-regulating motor, the temperature inside the cooking cavity can be adjusted by regulating the speed of the drive motor, thereby further improving the accuracy of temperature control and effectively improving the cooking effect.

[0010] Secondly, this application also provides a control device for an air fryer. The air fryer includes a cooking cavity, a hot air circulation system communicating with the cooking cavity, and a temperature sensor extending into the cooking cavity. A first heating component and a second heating component are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the cooking cavity. The control device for the air fryer includes a control module electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the first heating component, and the second heating component. The control module includes a temperature measuring module, a first control module, a second control module, and a third control module. The temperature measuring module is adapted to detect the temperature inside the cooking cavity through the temperature sensor. The first control module is adapted to be electrically connected to the hot air circulation system and is used to control the hot air circulation system to operate continuously. The second control module is adapted to be electrically connected to the first heating component and is used to control the first heating component to operate continuously when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is less than a preset maximum temperature Tmax and greater than a preset minimum temperature Tmin. The third control module is adapted to be electrically connected to the second heating component and is used to control the second heating component to operate intermittently when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is less than a preset maximum cooking temperature Tmax and greater than a preset minimum cooking temperature Tmin. The first control module, the second control module, and the third control module enable independent control of the hot air circulation system, the first heating component, and the second heating component, thereby allowing for more precise temperature regulation within the cooking cavity and ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the hot air circulation system further includes a drive motor electrically connected to the first control module. The drive motor is a speed-regulating motor. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is greater than a preset maximum temperature Tmax, the first control module is adapted to control the drive motor to reduce its speed; when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is less than a preset minimum temperature Tmin, the first control module is adapted to control the drive motor to increase its speed. By independently controlling the drive motor through the first control module, precise control of the drive motor can be achieved, effectively improving the temperature control accuracy and cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0012] Thirdly, this application also provides a storage medium storing an executable program that, when executed, implements the control method for an air fryer as described above. By storing the executable program of the control method for the air fryer on the storage medium, users can directly call the executable program to cook food, effectively improving the ease of use of the air fryer.

[0013] Fourthly, this application also provides an air fryer, which is suitable for adjusting the temperature inside the cooking cavity using the air fryer control method described above; the air fryer includes an air fryer control device as described above; the air fryer includes a storage medium as described above. The air fryer, using the air fryer control method for food cooking, can not only effectively improve cooking efficiency but also effectively improve temperature control and cooking effect. Simultaneously, by setting the air fryer control device inside the air fryer, the hot air circulation system, the first heating component, and the second heating component of the air fryer can be independently controlled, thereby better adjusting the temperature inside the cooking cavity and effectively improving the cooking effect. Furthermore, by setting the storage medium inside the air fryer to store the executable program of the air fryer control method, users can directly call the executable program to use the air fryer control method for food cooking, effectively improving the ease of use of the air fryer and enhancing the user experience.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0015] This application, by respectively arranging the first heating component and the second heating component at the top and bottom of the cooking cavity, enables simultaneous heating of the food inside the cooking cavity from both the top and bottom, effectively improving both cooking efficiency and cooking results. Furthermore, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity is lower than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and higher than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, the hot air circulation system and the first heating component are continuously operated, while the second heating component is operated intermittently. This not only allows for continuous heating of the food inside the cooking cavity using the first heating component while the second heating component provides auxiliary heating, thereby improving cooking efficiency, but also allows for better cooking by intermittently operating the second heating component to regulate the temperature inside the cooking cavity, thus enhancing the cooking effect.

[0023] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0024] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0025] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0027] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," and "above" are used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation besides the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be noted that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more," meaning that in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be one or more. The term "a" should not be construed as a limitation on the quantity. The use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Appendix Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shown is a logical schematic of a control method for an air fryer provided by the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the control method for the air fryer is suitable for implementation using an air fryer. The air fryer includes a body 10, a cooking chamber 11 disposed within the body 10, a hot air circulation system 20 communicating with the cooking chamber 11, and a temperature sensor 12 extending into the cooking chamber 11 for temperature measurement. A first heating component 30 and a second heating component 40 are respectively disposed at the top and bottom of the cooking chamber 11. The first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40 are adapted to heat the air inside the cooking chamber 11. The hot air circulation system 20 is adapted to drive the heated air to circulate and form a circulating heat flow, thereby heating the food inside the cooking chamber. By disposing of the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40 at the top and bottom of the cooking chamber 11 respectively, the air fryer can simultaneously heat both the top and bottom surfaces of the food inside the cooking chamber 11, effectively improving both cooking efficiency and cooking results.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure the cooking effect of food, multiple different preset cooking temperatures are usually set in the air fryer to match different foods. By setting multiple different preset cooking temperatures in the air fryer to match different foods, the cooking efficiency and cooking effect of food in the air fryer can be effectively improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the cooking temperature of the air fryer includes a preset maximum temperature Tmax and a preset minimum temperature Tmin. The control method of the air fryer includes an air frying stage. In the air frying stage, it is suitable to control the operation of the hot air circulation system 20, the first heating component 30, and the second heating component 40, and to use the temperature sensor 12 to detect the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is less than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and greater than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the hot air circulation system 20 and the first heating component 30 to operate continuously, and to control the second heating component 40 to operate intermittently, thereby continuously heating the food inside the cooking cavity 11. During the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is lower than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and higher than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, the hot air circulation system 20 and the first heating component 30 are continuously operated, while the second heating component 40 is operated intermittently. This not only enables the continuous heating of the food inside the cooking cavity 11 by the first heating component 30, but also allows for auxiliary heating by the second heating component 40, thereby improving cooking efficiency. Furthermore, by controlling the intermittent operation of the second heating component 40, the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 can be adjusted, resulting in better cooking and improved cooking effect.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 exceeds the preset maximum temperature Tmax, it is suitable to control the first heating component 30 to stop operating and the second heating component 40 to stop operating, thereby reducing the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. By controlling the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40 to stop operating when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 exceeds the preset maximum temperature Tmax, the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 can be quickly reduced, thus reducing the problem of food burning caused by excessively high temperatures inside the cooking cavity 11 and effectively improving the cooking effect.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is lower than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the hot air circulation system 20, the first heating component 30, and the second heating component 40 to continue operating, thereby increasing the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. By controlling the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40 to continue operating when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is lower than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is possible not only to quickly increase the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 for cooking, thus effectively improving cooking efficiency, but also to ensure the cooking effect of the food, reduce the phenomenon of undercooked food, and effectively improve the user experience.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, during the air frying stage, when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is lower than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and higher than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, the specific control method for the second heating component 40 is to repeatedly control the second heating component 40 to work for a duration T1 and then stop working for a duration T2. ​​By controlling the second heating component 40 to repeatedly turn on and off, the occurrence of excessively high or low temperatures inside the cooking cavity 11 can be reduced, thereby ensuring the cooking effect.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the working time T1 of the second heating component 40 is preferably 4s to 6s. This is because if the working time T1 of the second heating component 40 is too long, such as greater than 6s, it is easy to cause the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 to be too high, resulting in the food burning. If the working time T1 of the second heating component 40 is too short, such as less than 4s, it is easy to cause poor temperature regulation or failure in the cooking cavity 11 due to the short working time of the second heating component 40. It is also easy to cause damage due to the excessive switching frequency of the second heating component 40. Therefore, the working time T1 of the second heating component 40 is preferably 5s. When the working time T1 of the second heating component 40 is 5s, it can not only improve the cooking effect of the food and the temperature regulation effect of the air fryer, but also effectively improve the performance stability of the air fryer and ensure the user experience. Meanwhile, the off-working time T2 of the second heating component 40 is preferably 12s to 18s. If the off-working time T2 is too long, such as greater than 18s, the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 may remain low for an extended period, affecting the cooking effect and potentially resulting in undercooked food. Conversely, if the off-working time T2 is too short, such as less than 16s, the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 may not drop significantly, leading to ineffective or poor temperature control. Therefore, the off-working time T2 of the second heating component 40 is preferably 15s. A 15s off-working time not only improves the cooking effect but also effectively enhances the temperature control of the air fryer, improving the user experience. By rationally setting the working time T1 and off-working time T2 of the second heating component 40, the air fryer can better control the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11, thereby effectively improving cooking efficiency and results.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a logic control schematic of a second embodiment of the control method for an air fryer according to the present invention. The air fryer in the second embodiment has some structural features and working principles that are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be described again here. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the control method of the air fryer is different.

[0039] In the air fryer of the second embodiment, the hot air circulation system 20 further includes a drive motor and a circulating fan connected to the drive motor. The drive motor is preferably a speed-regulating motor. The control method of the air fryer includes an air frying stage. In the air frying stage, it is suitable to control the operation of the drive motor, the first heating component 30, and the second heating component 40, and to use the temperature sensor 12 to detect the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is greater than the preset maximum temperature Tmax, it is suitable to control the drive motor to reduce its speed, thereby reducing the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is less than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the drive motor to increase its speed, thereby increasing the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is less than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and greater than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the first heating component 30 to run continuously, control the second heating component 40 to run intermittently, and control the drive motor to run continuously at a constant speed to continuously heat the food inside the cooking cavity 11. By setting the drive motor as a speed-regulating motor, the temperature inside the cooking cavity can be adjusted by regulating the speed of the drive motor, thereby further improving the accuracy of temperature control and effectively ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is a logic control schematic of a third embodiment of the control method for an air fryer according to the present invention. The air fryer in the third embodiment is the same as the air fryer in the first embodiment in some structural features and working principles, which will not be repeated here. The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the control method of the air fryer is different.

[0042] In the air fryer of the third embodiment, the hot air circulation system 20 further includes a drive motor and a circulating fan driven and connected to the drive motor. The drive motor is preferably a speed-regulating motor. The control method of the air fryer includes an air frying / baking stage. In the air frying / baking stage, it is suitable to control the operation of the drive motor, the first heating component 30, and the second heating component 40, and to use the temperature sensor 12 to detect the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is lower than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40 to continue operating, and to control the drive motor to increase its speed, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. Simultaneously, when the temperature sensor 12... When the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is detected to be lower than the preset maximum temperature Tmax and higher than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, it is suitable to control the drive motor to run at a constant speed continuously, control the first heating component 30 to run continuously, and repeatedly control the second heating component 40 to work for a duration T1, then stop working for a second duration T2, thereby continuously heating the food inside the cooking cavity 11 and adjusting the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 to better heat the food inside the cooking cavity 11 and effectively ensure the cooking effect. Furthermore, when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is higher than the preset maximum temperature Tmax, it is suitable to control the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40 to stop operating, and control the drive motor to reduce its speed to lower the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11. The control method of the air fryer, by controlling and adjusting the speed of the drive motor and the operating states of the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40, can achieve faster and better adjustment of the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11, effectively improving the temperature control accuracy and cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0043] Secondly, such as Figure 7As shown, the present invention also provides a control device for an air fryer. The control device includes a control module electrically connected to the temperature sensor 12, the first heating element 30, and the second heating element 40. The control module includes a temperature measuring module, a first control module, a second control module, and a third control module. The temperature measuring module is adapted to detect the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 via the temperature sensor 12. The first control module is adapted to be electrically connected to the hot air circulation system 20 and is used to control the hot air circulation system 20 to operate continuously. The second control module is adapted to be electrically connected to the first heating element 30 and is used to control the first heating element 30 to operate continuously when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is less than a preset maximum temperature Tmax and greater than a preset minimum temperature Tmin. The third control module is adapted to be electrically connected to the second heating element 40 and is used to control the second heating element 40 to operate intermittently when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is less than a preset maximum cooking temperature Tmax and greater than a preset minimum cooking temperature Tmin. The control device of the air fryer, through the first control module, the second control module and the third control module, can realize independent control of the hot air circulation system 20, the first heating component 30 and the second heating component 40, thereby more accurately adjusting the temperature in the cooking cavity 11, and thus ensuring the cooking effect of the air fryer.

[0044] Specifically, the first control module is electrically connected to the drive motor. When the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is greater than the preset maximum temperature Tmax, the first control module is adapted to control the drive motor to reduce its speed; when the temperature sensor 12 detects that the temperature inside the cooking cavity 11 is less than the preset minimum temperature Tmin, the first control module is adapted to control the drive motor to increase its speed. The air fryer's control device independently controls the drive motor through the first control module, enabling precise control of the drive motor and effectively improving the air fryer's temperature control accuracy and cooking effect.

[0045] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a storage medium storing an executable program, which, when executed, implements the control method for an air fryer as described above. By storing the executable program of the control method for the air fryer in the storage medium, users can directly call the executable program to cook food, effectively improving the ease of use of the air fryer.

[0046] Fourthly, the present invention also provides an air fryer, which is suitable for adjusting the temperature inside the cooking chamber 11 using the air fryer control method described above; the air fryer includes an air fryer control device as described above; the air fryer includes a storage medium as described above. The air fryer, using the air fryer control method for food cooking, can not only effectively improve cooking efficiency but also effectively improve temperature control and cooking effect; simultaneously, by setting the air fryer control device inside the air fryer body 10, the hot air circulation system 20, the first heating component 30, and the second heating component 40 of the air fryer can be independently controlled, thereby better adjusting the temperature inside the cooking chamber 11 and effectively improving the cooking effect; furthermore, by setting the storage medium inside the air fryer body 10 to store the runnable program of the air fryer control method, users can directly call the runnable program to use the air fryer control method for food cooking, effectively improving the ease of use of the air fryer and enhancing the user experience.

[0047] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention, and the objectives of the present invention have been fully and effectively achieved. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the invention.
