Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking control technology, and in particular to a cooking equipment control method, apparatus and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking equipment is frequently used by users or businesses. Prolonged use can lead to aging and damage. If users don't perform regular maintenance, it can accelerate wear and tear on parts, shorten the equipment's lifespan, and increase the probability of malfunctions. Once a malfunction occurs, emergency repairs may be necessary, which are typically more expensive than preventative maintenance. Equipment failure can also interrupt cooking, disrupt the cooking process, and reduce efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, how to develop a regular equipment maintenance plan to ensure that equipment is maintained and operated in optimal condition has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The cooking equipment control method, apparatus, and cooking equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0026] This application provides a method for controlling a cooking device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0027] Step 101: Obtain the current equipment maintenance rules for the cooking equipment.

[0028] In this step, the equipment maintenance rules corresponding to the current cooking equipment are obtained. The cooking equipment can be either household or commercial. In one embodiment, the equipment maintenance rules include maintenance cycle, maintenance waiting time, reminder rules to trigger the user to perform maintenance tasks, second adjustment rules to trigger the execution of a first target operation, and first adjustment rules to trigger the execution of a second target operation, etc. Figure 2As shown, the maintenance cycle is a range from the last actual maintenance time to the time to be maintained.

[0029] In one embodiment of this application, target information is obtained, which includes environmental information of the current cooking equipment location and / or the current usage frequency of the cooking equipment. The environmental information includes at least one of the following: location, season, air pressure, temperature, and humidity. Based on the target information, the maintenance rules set by the user or the system default maintenance rules of the current cooking equipment are adjusted to obtain equipment maintenance rules.

[0030] In this embodiment, the system obtains user-defined maintenance rules or the current cooking equipment's default system maintenance rules, and acquires at least one piece of environmental information, including the location (e.g., latitude, longitude, and altitude), season, air pressure, temperature, and humidity, of the current cooking equipment's location. Based on this environmental information, the user-defined maintenance rules or the current cooking equipment's default system maintenance rules are adjusted to obtain the final equipment maintenance rules. Different environmental information corresponds to different equipment maintenance rules. For example, in winter and summer, or under different temperatures and humidity levels, the spoilage cycle and solidification of seasonings differ, thus affecting the maintenance cycles for functions such as seasoning calibration, seasoning inspection, and pipe cleaning of the current cooking equipment.

[0031] And / or, obtain the maintenance rules set by the user or the system default maintenance rules for the current cooking equipment, obtain the usage frequency of the current cooking equipment, and adjust the user-set maintenance rules or the system default maintenance rules for the current cooking equipment based on the usage frequency to obtain the final equipment maintenance rules. Different usage frequencies correspond to different equipment maintenance rules. For example, the higher the usage frequency, the shorter the maintenance cycle for the items of the current cooking equipment.

[0032] In this embodiment, equipment maintenance rules can be set based on the environmental information corresponding to the current cooking equipment or the frequency of use of the current cooking equipment, so that the equipment maintenance rules are more in line with the environmental information and usage of the current cooking equipment, thereby improving the equipment maintenance effect.

[0033] In one embodiment, the maintenance rules set by the user or the system default maintenance rules of the current cooking equipment can be directly used as the equipment maintenance rules for the current cooking equipment. For example, if the current cooking equipment is a new equipment, after the new equipment completes its first seasoning calibration, seasoning check, pipe cleaning, or seasoning, the system default maintenance rules at the time of the new equipment's manufacture can be obtained, and the system default maintenance rules can be started to be executed on the new equipment.

[0034] Step 102: When the current usage information of the cooking equipment meets the reminder rules in the equipment maintenance rules, a first maintenance reminder message is issued. The first maintenance reminder message is used to remind the user to perform maintenance tasks within the specified period.

[0035] In this step, the usage information of the current cooking equipment is obtained, including the used time and / or remaining usage time. It is then determined whether this usage information meets the reminder rules in the equipment maintenance rules. If the reminder rules are met, the time at which the reminder rules are met is the reminder time (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown in the image, the first maintenance reminder message is issued at the specified time to remind the user to perform maintenance tasks on the current cooking equipment within the specified period. The maintenance tasks include maintenance of the components and functions of the current cooking equipment.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the usage information includes the used time and / or the remaining usage time, wherein the remaining usage time is determined based on the current maintenance cycle of the cooking equipment and the used time; the method for determining whether the usage information meets the reminder rules includes:

[0037] If the used duration is greater than or equal to the first reminder duration, the reminder rule is satisfied; or...

[0038] If the remaining usage time is less than the second reminder duration, the reminder rule is met.

[0039] In this embodiment, the usage information includes the used time and / or the remaining usage time, and the reminder rules include reminding users when the used time reaches a certain maintenance cycle, and / or reminding users when the remaining usage time reaches a certain maintenance cycle.

[0040] The usage time of the previous cooking equipment is calculated from the time it completed its last maintenance, or from the time it was put into use if it is a new equipment. It is then determined whether the usage time is greater than or equal to the first reminder duration. If the usage time is greater than or equal to the first reminder duration, the reminder rule is met. The first reminder duration is a first preset percentage of the maintenance cycle, for example, 80% of the maintenance cycle. When the usage time reaches 80% of the maintenance cycle, the first maintenance reminder message is issued.

[0041] Alternatively, calculate the difference between the maintenance cycle and the used time to obtain the remaining usage time. Determine if the remaining usage time is less than the second reminder duration. If the remaining usage time is less than the second reminder duration, the reminder rule is met. The second reminder duration is a second preset percentage of the maintenance cycle, for example, 20% of the maintenance cycle. When the remaining usage time reaches 20% of the maintenance cycle, the first maintenance reminder message is issued.

[0042] This application embodiment can promptly issue a first maintenance reminder message by judging the usage time and / or remaining usage time, thereby realizing timely reminders to users to perform equipment maintenance.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the method for detecting that a user has not performed a maintenance task within a specified period includes: calculating the current overdue maintenance time of the cooking equipment, whereby the overdue maintenance time includes the time counted from the issuance of the first maintenance reminder message, the time counted from the start of the current maintenance cycle of the cooking equipment, or the time counted from the last actual maintenance time; and determining that the user has not performed a maintenance task within the specified period when the overdue maintenance time meets the second adjustment rule in the equipment maintenance rules. Specifically, determining that the second adjustment rule is met when the overdue maintenance time is greater than or equal to the specified period.

[0044] In this embodiment, the duration of maintenance overdue is recorded starting from the issuance of the first maintenance reminder message, or from the start of the maintenance cycle exceeding the current cooking equipment, or from the last actual maintenance time. The corresponding specified period is determined, and the overdue duration is compared with the corresponding specified period. If the overdue duration is greater than or equal to the specified period, it is determined that the overdue duration meets the second adjustment rule in the equipment maintenance rules, i.e., it is determined that the user has not performed the maintenance task within the specified period. In one embodiment, the specified period includes the maintenance cycle, the grace period for overdue maintenance, etc. In one embodiment, the specified period can be a fixed duration such as x months / weeks / days / hours, or a fixed time such as x o'clock every day, every day, every week, every month, every quarter, etc.

[0045] For example, if the maintenance overdue period is the duration counted from the issuance of the first maintenance reminder (i.e., the reminder time), then the corresponding specified period can be the duration between the reminder time and the pending maintenance time, or the sum of the duration between the reminder time and the pending maintenance time and the grace period, where, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the grace period refers to the allowed time for maintenance to be neglected beyond the scheduled maintenance time. If the maintenance overdue period is the time counted from the start of the current maintenance cycle of the cooking equipment, i.e., the time counted from the start of the scheduled maintenance time, then its corresponding specified period can be the grace period. If the maintenance overdue period is the time counted from the last actual maintenance time, then its corresponding specified period can be the time between the last actual maintenance time and the scheduled maintenance time, or the sum of the time between the last actual maintenance time and the scheduled maintenance time and the grace period.

[0046] This application embodiment can determine in a timely and accurate manner whether a user has failed to perform maintenance tasks within the specified period by statistically analyzing and judging the maintenance overdue period.

[0047] Step 103: If it is detected that the user has not performed the maintenance task within the specified period, then the first target operation is performed. The first target operation includes issuing a second maintenance reminder message and / or adjusting the preset items of the current cooking equipment.

[0048] In this embodiment, if it is detected that the user has not performed the maintenance task within the specified period, i.e., the maintenance overdue period is greater than or equal to the specified period, a second maintenance reminder message is issued and / or the preset items of the current cooking equipment are adjusted. The preset items include the components and / or functions of the current cooking equipment. The second maintenance reminder message is used to remind the user to perform the maintenance task within a certain period (e.g., a first period); adjusting the preset items of the current cooking equipment is equivalent to penalizing the current cooking equipment, including disabling or downgrading the preset items. Downgrading can be a downgrade of user permissions, for example, the user can only use low-level functions instead of high-level functions; disabling includes locking the machine, disabling recipes, disabling manual cooking, or no action. Locking the machine means that recipes and manual cooking are unavailable; disabling recipes means that recipes are unavailable; disabling manual cooking means that some or all manual functions are unavailable; no action means no action is taken until the maintenance task is regenerated upon expiration.

[0049] It should be noted that when adjusting one function of the current cooking equipment, other functions that are not yet due for maintenance can still be used normally. For example, for the seasoning calibration, seasoning inspection, and pipe cleaning functions of the current cooking equipment, a single-level maintenance reminder can be set. If the user does not perform maintenance after the current single-level reminder, the function of that level will be unavailable, while other levels will operate normally.

[0050] The system can issue a first maintenance reminder and / or a second maintenance reminder. This reminder can be sent to the current cooking device or via a third-party device (such as a user terminal). If the user does not follow the rules or does not stop operation as reminded, the reminder will continue until the user intervenes. Specific reminder information includes, but is not limited to, the name of the maintenance item (i.e., the component and / or function), the maintenance due time, etc. Reminder methods include, but are not limited to, pop-ups, floating windows, voice messages, SMS messages, emails, task lists, etc.

[0051] In one embodiment, after a user maintains the device, maintenance information such as the actual maintenance time can be updated by manually entering maintenance information or by the system collecting operation logs.

[0052] This application embodiment can determine maintenance timing based on equipment maintenance rules and remind users, enabling them to be promptly informed of equipment maintenance needs and to perform maintenance tasks in a timely manner. Furthermore, if the user fails to perform maintenance tasks within the specified period, further actions are taken, including continuing reminders or adjusting preset equipment items as a penalty. This effectively reminds and encourages users to perform equipment maintenance, extending equipment lifespan, reducing failure rates, ensuring equipment operates in optimal condition, and improving work efficiency and output quality.

[0053] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: displaying at least one of maintenance tasks, usage information, maintenance rules, preset item adjustment information, maintenance status, and usage specifications on the current cooking device.

[0054] In this embodiment, the current cooking device displays maintenance information such as maintenance tasks, used time and / or remaining usage time, maintenance rules, adjustment information of preset items, maintenance status (e.g., normal maintenance, not yet due, due, etc.), and usage specifications. This information can also be sent to third-party devices for display, enabling users to intuitively understand this information and keep abreast of it.

[0055] For example, maintenance information for multiple cooking devices can be displayed on the device maintenance monitoring interface of a third-party device. Users can also query information such as store, maintenance item, device alias, device type, and status on this interface.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0057] After removing the preset adjustments, the duration for which the current cooking equipment remains unmaintained is recorded.

[0058] When the duration meets the first adjustment rule in the equipment maintenance rules, the second target operation is executed. The second target operation includes issuing a third maintenance reminder message and / or adjusting the preset items of the current cooking equipment. The adjustment duration of the preset items corresponding to the second target operation is greater than the adjustment duration of the preset items corresponding to the first target operation.

[0059] In this embodiment, after issuing the first maintenance reminder message, if it is detected that the user has not performed the maintenance task within the specified period, the preset items of the current cooking equipment are adjusted. Further, the user can manually deselect the adjusted preset items or the preset items can be automatically deselected after a certain period. After the preset items are deselected, the deselection time is used as the statistical start time to calculate the duration for which the current cooking equipment has not been maintained, and it is determined whether the duration meets the first adjustment rule in the equipment maintenance rules. In one embodiment, when the duration is greater than or equal to a certain period (e.g., a second period), it is determined that the first adjustment rule is met. When the duration meets the first adjustment rule, a third maintenance reminder message is issued to remind the user to perform the maintenance task and / or adjust the preset items of the current cooking equipment.

[0060] In other words, after the device is relieved of the penalty, the maintenance task will be triggered again. If the duration for which the device has not been maintained meets the first adjustment rule, the user will be reminded to perform the maintenance task. Alternatively, the device may be penalized again, and this time the penalty mechanism will be doubled, such as a longer period of disabling or downgrading, more items to disable or downgrade, or a greater degree of downgrading.

[0061] The above methods serve as a further penalty for users who fail to perform maintenance, thereby urging them to maintain their devices in a timely manner.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: obtaining a device maintenance reference cycle, and determining the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking device based on the device maintenance reference cycle; the device maintenance reference cycle includes the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking device, and / or the actual maintenance cycle of cooking devices of the same type as the current cooking device.

[0063] In this embodiment, the maintenance cycle is dynamically calculated based on the current equipment maintenance reference cycle to generate a new maintenance cycle, thereby obtaining new maintenance rules. This ensures that the next maintenance of the equipment is more in line with the actual situation and that maintenance is timely. The equipment maintenance reference cycle may include the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment and / or the actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment.

[0064] In the first embodiment, the equipment maintenance reference cycle can be the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment. In this case, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment is determined according to the equipment maintenance reference cycle, specifically including: if the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment is the first cycle, then the first cycle is used as the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment. That is, the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment is directly used as the maintenance cycle for its next maintenance. For example, if the theoretical maintenance cycle of the equipment is 90 days, but the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment at this time is 60 days, then the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance is also 60 days.

[0065] Alternatively, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment can be determined based on the equipment maintenance reference cycle. Specifically, if the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment is the first cycle more than a preset number of times, then the first cycle will be used as the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance. That is, if the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment is the first cycle multiple times, then the next maintenance cycle will be set to the first cycle. These multiple maintenance cycles can be consecutive or intermittent. For example, if the theoretical maintenance cycle of the equipment is 90 days, but in three consecutive maintenance cycles, each with an actual maintenance cycle of 60 days, then the next maintenance cycle will also be 60 days.

[0066] Of course, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance can be adjusted to fluctuate within a certain range of the first cycle, depending on the actual situation. For example, if the actual maintenance cycle for the current cooking equipment is 60 days during this maintenance, or if the actual maintenance cycle for each maintenance is 60 days, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance can be 58 days or 61 days.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the equipment maintenance reference cycle can be the actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment. In this case, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment is determined based on the equipment maintenance reference cycle. Specifically, this includes: using the actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment as the second cycle, and determining the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment based on the second cycle. That is, the actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment is obtained, and this cycle is directly used as the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment. For example, if the cooking equipment is rice cooker 1, and the actual maintenance cycle for rice cooker 2 in the current store or other stores is 50 days, then the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of rice cooker 1 is directly set to 50 days.

[0068] Alternatively, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment can be determined based on the equipment maintenance reference cycle. This specifically includes: calculating the average or weighted average of the actual maintenance cycles of multiple cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment; using this average or weighted average as the second cycle; and determining the next maintenance cycle for the current cooking equipment based on the second cycle. In this embodiment, the actual maintenance cycles of multiple cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment are obtained, and the average or weighted average of these actual maintenance cycles is calculated. When calculating the weighted average, a weighting coefficient can be set according to the priority of the cooking equipment. For example, cooking equipment in the same store has a higher priority and a larger weighting coefficient, while cooking equipment in different stores has a lower priority and a smaller weighting coefficient. The average or weighted average is then used as the next maintenance cycle for the current cooking equipment. For example, if the theoretical maintenance cycle of the equipment is 90 days, and the actual maintenance cycles of multiple pieces of equipment of the same type are 60 days, 70 days, 80 days, and 90 days respectively, then the average number of days is 75 days. The maintenance cycle for the next maintenance is dynamically adjusted based on the average of 75 days.

[0069] Of course, depending on the actual situation, the maintenance cycle of the next maintenance can be adjusted to fluctuate within a certain range of the second cycle. For example, if the second cycle is 60 days, the maintenance cycle of the next maintenance can also be 58 days or 61 days.

[0070] In the third embodiment, the equipment maintenance reference cycle may include the actual maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment and the actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment. In this case, determining the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment based on the equipment maintenance reference cycle specifically includes:

[0071] Determine the next maintenance cycle for the current cooking equipment based on either the current actual maintenance cycle or the actual maintenance cycle of other cooking equipment of the same type.

[0072] The maintenance cycle for the next maintenance is adjusted based on the current actual maintenance cycle of the cooking equipment and another actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment.

[0073] In other words, based on one of the actual maintenance cycles of the current cooking equipment and the actual maintenance cycles of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment, the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment is initially determined. Then, the initially determined maintenance cycle for the next maintenance is adjusted based on the other. There can be one or more cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment. Determining the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment based on its actual maintenance cycle is the same as or similar to the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here. Determining the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment based on the actual maintenance cycle of cooking equipment of the same type as the current cooking equipment is the same as or similar to the second embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0074] The embodiments of this application can dynamically adjust the maintenance cycle to meet actual maintenance needs and improve maintenance effectiveness.

[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0076] Compare the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance with the first threshold;

[0077] If the maintenance cycle of the next maintenance is less than or equal to the first threshold, then the maintenance cycle of the next maintenance is determined to be invalid, and the previous valid maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment is taken as the maintenance cycle of the next maintenance.

[0078] In this embodiment, after determining the maintenance cycle for the next maintenance of the current cooking equipment, the determined maintenance cycle is compared with a first threshold. The first threshold is used to determine whether the determined maintenance cycle is valid data. If the next maintenance cycle is less than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the determined next maintenance cycle is too short and is invalid data. For example, if the theoretical maintenance cycle is 90 days, and the determined next maintenance cycle is 10 days, the cycle is too short and is invalid data. In this case, the determined next maintenance cycle is considered invalid, and the previous valid maintenance cycle of the current cooking equipment is used as the next maintenance cycle. This method ensures that the dynamically adjusted maintenance cycle is valid data, guaranteeing the smooth progress of equipment maintenance.

[0079] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: obtaining actual information of the current cooking equipment, comparing the actual information with the theoretical information of the current cooking equipment; and issuing an abnormal usage reminder if the actual information does not match the theoretical information.

[0080] In this embodiment, during or after reminding the user to perform maintenance tasks, the actual information of the current cooking equipment can be obtained, and the actual information can be compared with the theoretical information of the current cooking equipment. If the two do not match, the equipment is determined to be abnormal, and an abnormal usage reminder message is issued, thereby reminding the user to confirm the abnormality and take measures to eliminate the abnormality, ensuring that the equipment operates in the best condition and improving work efficiency and output quality.

[0081] In one embodiment, actual information includes actual service life, and theoretical information includes theoretical service life. If the actual information and theoretical information do not match, an abnormal usage alert is issued, including: if the difference between the theoretical service life and the actual service life is greater than a second threshold, an abnormal usage alert is issued. The actual service life of the current cooking equipment can be compared with its theoretical service life. If the difference between the theoretical and actual service life is greater than the second threshold, that is, the actual service life is much shorter than the theoretical service life, the equipment is considered abnormal, and an abnormal usage alert is issued to remind the user to check the equipment.

[0082] And / or, in another embodiment, actual information includes actual operating parameters, and theoretical information includes theoretical operating parameters; if the actual information and theoretical information do not match, an abnormal usage alert is issued, including: if the actual operating parameters do not match the theoretical operating parameters, an abnormal usage alert is issued. The actual operating parameters of the current cooking equipment can be compared with the theoretical operating parameters. If they do not match, it indicates that the equipment parameters may have been modified manually, causing the equipment to malfunction. In this case, an abnormal usage alert is issued. For example, the pot of the equipment may theoretically only rotate 10 times within a preset time, but is manually set to an incorrect 20 times. In this case, the equipment will malfunction, and an abnormal usage alert is issued to remind the user to check the equipment parameters.

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: after the current cooking device is switched from a first merchant account to a second merchant account, continuing to perform the maintenance tasks that were not completed in the first merchant account under the second merchant account.

[0084] In this embodiment, after the current cooking equipment is switched vendors, the new vendor (i.e., the vendor corresponding to the second vendor account) obtains the maintenance information of the current cooking equipment. If any related maintenance tasks are not completed, they will continue to be executed under the second vendor account. This method prevents unfinished maintenance tasks from being ignored after switching vendors, ensuring that the equipment receives timely maintenance.

[0085] As a specific implementation of the control method for the aforementioned cooking equipment, this application provides a control device for the cooking equipment. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the control device 300 of the cooking equipment includes: a rule acquisition module 301 and a maintenance control module 302.

[0086] Among them, the rule acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the equipment maintenance rules of the current cooking equipment;

[0087] The maintenance control module 302 is used to issue a first maintenance reminder message when the current usage information of the cooking equipment meets the reminder rules in the equipment maintenance rules. The first maintenance reminder message is used to remind the user to perform maintenance tasks within a specified period. If it is detected that the user has not performed maintenance tasks within the specified period, a first target operation is performed. The first target operation includes issuing a second maintenance reminder message and / or adjusting the preset items of the current cooking equipment.

[0088] This application embodiment can determine maintenance timing based on equipment maintenance rules and remind users, enabling them to be promptly informed of equipment maintenance needs and to perform maintenance tasks in a timely manner. Furthermore, if the user fails to perform maintenance tasks within the specified period, further actions are taken, including continuing reminders or adjusting preset equipment items as a penalty. This effectively reminds and encourages users to perform equipment maintenance, extending equipment lifespan, reducing failure rates, ensuring equipment operates in optimal condition, and improving work efficiency and output quality.

[0089] Furthermore, the maintenance control module 302 is also used for:

[0090] After removing the preset adjustments, the duration for which the current cooking equipment remains unmaintained is recorded.

[0091] When the duration meets the first adjustment rule in the equipment maintenance rules, the second target operation is executed. The second target operation includes issuing a third maintenance reminder message and / or adjusting the preset items of the current cooking equipment.
