[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0045] Figure 1This is a flowchart of the stove control method proposed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the stove control method includes the following steps:

[0046] S101, when the stove is in cooking mode, obtain the current cooking mode category of the stove.

[0047] Whether the cooktop is currently in cooking mode can be determined based on the temperature sensor reading and the closure of the air intake valve. The temperature sensor can be located near the burner. When it detects that the air intake valve is open and the temperature sensor reading is higher than a certain temperature (such as the temperature when there is a flame), the cooktop is considered to be in use and in cooking mode. In another embodiment, a camera can be installed on the range hood. The camera can detect food in the pot on the cooktop, and combined with the open air intake valve, it can be determined that the cooktop is in use and in cooking mode.

[0048] Cooking mode categories can include a first category, such as frying, stir-frying, or high-heat stir-frying, which require real-time user intervention, and a second category, such as steaming, boiling, or stewing, which do not require real-time user intervention. It is understood that when the cooktop is in a cooking mode, the cooking mode category can also be determined by the temperature sensor or the image captured by the camera. For example, the temperature sensor might identify the cooking mode as the first category at frying temperatures and as the second category at the boiling point of water. Identification via camera images can directly identify either the first or second category. In another embodiment, a sound sensor can also be included. When the sound sensor detects a sizzling sound from stir-frying or deep-frying, the cooking mode category can be considered the first category; when the sound sensor detects a bubbling sound, the cooking mode category can be considered the second category.

[0049] It should be noted that when using the above method to identify cooking mode categories, the correspondence between cooking mode categories and acquisition parameters (temperature, image, or sound) can be pre-stored.

[0050] S102, when a cooking operation interruption signal is detected, the corresponding stove control signal is obtained according to the current cooking mode category.

[0051] Understandably, cooking interruption signals can be detected using infrared sensors or cameras. For example, an infrared sensor can detect whether there is anyone in the cooking area (near the stove); if someone is present, the cooking operation is considered uninterrupted; if no one is present, the cooking operation is considered interrupted. A camera provides a more direct way to determine whether the cooking operation has been interrupted.

[0052] The control signals for the cooktop differ depending on the cooking mode category. In the first cooking mode category, since cooking cannot be interrupted, the duration of the detected cooking interruption signal can be used as the cooktop control signal. In other words, the cooktop's heat can be adjusted based on the time the user is away from the cooking area; the longer the absence, the lower the heat. In the second cooking mode category, where cooking can be interrupted, the overflow / overflow signal, a characteristic of this category, can be used as the cooktop control signal.

[0053] S103 controls the firepower of the stove according to the stove control signal.

[0054] Specifically, when the cooking mode is Category 1, the stove's heat is adjusted based on the time the user leaves the cooking area. When the cooking mode is Category 2, the heat is adjusted based on whether the food overflows. Therefore, in different cooking modes, this stove control method avoids scorching in Category 1 cooking mode and overflowing / drying in Category 2 cooking mode, resolving the undesirable consequences that easily occur when the user leaves the cooking area. The stove can automatically judge and execute these actions, improving its intelligence level and enhancing user experience and satisfaction.

[0055] Optionally, when the current cooking mode category is the first category, upon detecting a cooking operation interruption signal, the corresponding cooktop control signal is obtained according to the current cooking mode category, including:

[0056] Acquire the first duration of the cooking operation interruption signal;

[0057] Controlling the stove's heat output based on the stove's control signals includes:

[0058] When the first duration is greater than or equal to the first preset duration, the firepower of the control stove is less than the first firepower, where the first firepower is the firepower before the cooking operation interruption signal is detected, and the first category is the cooking mode that requires the user to perform cooking operations in real time.

[0059] It should be noted that the first duration can be obtained through a timer. When a cooking operation interruption signal is received, the timer starts. When the first duration reaches the first preset duration, such as 30 seconds, the heat of the stove is reduced, that is, the opening of the air intake valve is reduced to avoid burning.

[0060] Optionally, after controlling the stove's firepower to be lower than the first firepower level, the method further includes:

[0061] When the first duration is greater than or equal to the second preset duration, the stove is controlled to turn off. The second preset duration is greater than the first preset duration.

[0062] It should be noted that when the first duration reaches the second preset duration, such as 60 seconds, the stove will be directly shut off, that is, the gas intake valve will be closed.

[0063] In other words, if a user turns down the stove's heat 30 seconds after leaving the cooking area, and the stove still hasn't returned within 30 seconds, it will turn off the stove. This means that if the user is only temporarily away from the cooking area, they will need to restart the stove upon returning. Turning off the stove directly would interrupt cooking, requiring the user to restart it again upon returning, adding to the cumbersome process.

[0064] The first and second preset durations can be obtained from experience and stored in advance.

[0065] In one embodiment, when the firepower of the control stove is lower than the first firepower, the alarm can also be controlled to emit an alarm sound (such as a beeping sound or voice broadcast) to remind the user.

[0066] Optionally, when the current cooking mode category is the second category, upon detecting a cooking operation interruption signal, the corresponding cooktop control signal is obtained according to the current cooking mode category, including:

[0067] If the cooking operation interruption signal lasts for at least a third preset duration, determine whether there is a first overflow signal;

[0068] Controlling the stove's heat output based on the stove's control signals includes:

[0069] When the first overflow signal is received, the firepower of the stove is controlled according to the feedback of the first overflow signal until the first overflow signal disappears.

[0070] When there is no first overflow signal and the second duration of the cooking operation interruption signal is greater than the third preset duration, the firepower of the stove is controlled according to the current cooking mode, wherein the second category is a cooking mode that does not require the user to perform cooking operations in real time.

[0071] It should be noted that the third preset timeout can be 5 minutes. Within 5 minutes of the user leaving the cooking area, the system monitors for the first overflow signal. If it is present, it indicates that the user has set the stove's heat to be too high, making overflow likely. The stove's heat can then be adjusted incrementally, for example, every 30 seconds. After each adjustment, the system continues to monitor for the first overflow signal. If it persists, it means the stove's heat is still too high. This cycle of adjustment continues until the first overflow signal disappears, indicating that the stove's heat is now at an appropriate level.

[0072] Optionally, during the process of controlling the stove's heat based on the feedback of the first overflow signal until the first overflow signal disappears, the method also includes: after each change in the stove's heat control, activating an alarm sound. This promptly notifies and alerts the user.

[0073] Optionally, after controlling the stove's heat based on the first overflow signal feedback until the first overflow signal disappears, the method further includes:

[0074] When the third duration of the cooking operation interruption signal exceeds the third preset duration, the firepower of the stove is controlled according to the current cooking mode, wherein the firepower of the stove controlled according to the current cooking mode shall not exceed the firepower when the first overflow signal disappears.

[0075] It should be noted that after the first overflow signal disappears and the third duration is longer than the third preset duration, the stove can enter the same state as when there is no first overflow signal, controlling the stove's heat according to the current cooking mode. In order to avoid overflowing again, the stove's heat can be controlled to not exceed the heat when the first overflow signal disappeared.

[0076] If no first overflow signal is detected after the user leaves the cooking area, and the user's absence exceeds 5 minutes, it can be assumed that the user intentionally left the cooking area. In this case, the stove's heat can be controlled based on the current cooking mode. For example, the stove's heat can be controlled based on the correspondence between the cooking time of the cooking mode and the stove's heat. For instance, if the current cooking mode is stir-fry / stew, the heat can be controlled according to the correspondence between the cooking time of this mode and the stove's heat. If the cooking time is 20 minutes, the first 5 minutes would be medium heat, the middle 12 minutes low heat, and the last 3 minutes high heat, thus controlling the stove's heat. The first overflow signal can be obtained by installing an overflow sensor on the pot lid (e.g., by measuring the change in current or resistance between two metal plates).

[0077] Optionally, the process of controlling the stove's heat according to the current cooking mode includes: after controlling the stove's heat to be greater than the second heat according to the current cooking mode, determining whether there is a second overflow signal, and when there is a second overflow signal, controlling the stove's heat according to the feedback of the second overflow signal until the second overflow signal disappears, wherein when the stove's heat is controlled again according to the current cooking mode, the maximum heat shall not exceed the heat at which the second overflow signal disappeared; the second heat is the heat before the cooking operation interruption signal was detected.

[0078] It should be noted that when controlling the stove's heat according to the current cooking mode (e.g., maintaining the current heat, increasing the heat relative to the current heat, or decreasing the heat), the heat may be higher than before the adjustment, causing the pot to overflow. Therefore, it is necessary to detect whether there is a second overflow signal during this process. If a second overflow signal is detected, the stove's heat can be adjusted to decrease until the second overflow signal disappears. Then, the stove's heat can be controlled according to the cooking mode again. However, the upper limit of the heat should be adjusted to the heat level at which the second overflow signal disappeared to prevent overflow from happening again.

[0079] Optionally, after controlling the stove's heat according to the current cooking mode, the method also includes: controlling the stove to shut off when the cooking time according to the current cooking mode reaches the preset cooking time. This can prevent the pot from drying out or burning due to excessive cooking time.

[0080] Therefore, in steaming or stewing modes, the cooker can detect whether the user intentionally leaves the cooking area, and can also detect whether the pot overflows or dries out, making the cooker's heat control more intelligent and automated, thus improving user satisfaction.

[0106] Optionally, the control module 103 further includes:

[0107] The second control unit is used to control the stove to shut off when the first duration is greater than or equal to the second preset duration, wherein the second preset duration is greater than the first preset duration.

[0108] Optionally, when the current cooking mode category is the second category, when a cooking operation interruption signal is detected, the second acquisition module 102 includes:

[0109] The second acquisition unit is used to determine whether there is a first overflow signal within a cooking operation interruption signal lasting for at least a third preset duration.

[0110] Control module 103 includes:

[0111] The third control unit is used to control the firepower of the stove according to the feedback of the first overflow signal when the first overflow signal is present, until the first overflow signal disappears.

[0112] The fourth control unit controls the firepower of the stove according to the current cooking mode when there is no first overflow signal and the second duration of the cooking operation interruption signal is greater than the third preset duration. The second category is a cooking mode that does not require the user to perform cooking operations in real time.

[0113] Optionally, the third control unit is also used to control the alarm to sound after each change in the firepower of the control stove.

[0114] Optionally, the third control unit is further configured to control the firepower of the stove according to the current cooking mode when the third duration of the cooking operation interruption signal is greater than the third preset duration, wherein the firepower of the stove controlled according to the current cooking mode shall not exceed the firepower when the first overflow signal disappears.

[0115] Optionally, the fourth control unit is further configured to determine whether there is a second overflow signal after controlling the firepower of the stove to be greater than the second firepower according to the current cooking mode, and when there is a second overflow signal, to control the firepower of the stove according to the feedback of the second overflow signal until the second overflow signal disappears, wherein when the firepower of the stove is controlled again according to the current cooking mode, the maximum firepower shall not exceed the firepower when the second overflow signal disappears; the second firepower is the firepower before the cooking operation interruption signal is detected.

[0116] Optionally, the control module 103 is also used to control the stove to turn off when the cooking time according to the current cooking mode reaches the preset cooking time.

[0117] In one embodiment, the cooktop control device can perform the following steps:

[0118] S1: Start cooking;

[0119] S2: Detect the cooking mode of the stove, which includes five cooking modes. When it is in the deep-frying, pan-frying, or stir-frying cooking mode, proceed to step S3; when it is in the steaming, boiling, or stewing cooking mode, proceed to step S4.

[0120] S3: Monitor the user's operation status in real time. Start the timer when the user leaves the stove or does not perform any cooking operations, and then proceed to step S5.

[0121] S4: Monitor user operation status and cooking status in real time. Start timing when the user does not operate, and then proceed to step S6. Cooking status includes information such as cooking steps and total cooking time.

[0122] S5: Determine whether the user has not operated for more than the first time limit (e.g., 30 seconds). If so, the stove will activate the automatic takeover function, automatically reduce the heat and issue voice or sound prompts, and start the timer to proceed to step S7. If not, return to step S3, indicating that the user has re-intervened within 30 seconds. This step is to prevent food from burning in frying, stir-frying, or other cooking modes after the user leaves the stove.

[0123] S6: Determine whether the pot overflows after the user has not operated. If so, the stove will activate the automatic takeover function, automatically reduce the heat and issue a prompt sound, and then proceed to step S8; if not, proceed to step S9.

[0124] S7: Determine whether the user has not operated for more than the first time period (e.g., 30 seconds). If yes, the stove will automatically turn off; otherwise, return to step S3.

[0125] S8: Determine if overflow has occurred. If yes, the stove will continue to automatically reduce the heat until overflow stops. If no, return to step S4.

[0126] S9: Determine whether the user's inactivity time exceeds the second duration (e.g., 300 seconds). If so, the stove will activate the automatic takeover function, automatically adjust the heat, and proceed to step S10. If not, return to step S4. In this step, when the stove automatically adjusts the heat, it can do so based on the cooking steps, cooking time, or user cooking habits (the stove has a learning function and can learn from the user's historical cooking operations) to automatically adjust the heat (including maintaining the current heat, reducing the heat, or increasing the heat, etc.).

[0127] S10: Determine if cooking is finished. If so, the stove will automatically shut off. If not, return to step S4.

[0128] The stove control device provided in the embodiments of the present invention can execute the stove control method provided in any embodiment of the present invention, and has the corresponding functional modules and beneficial effects of the method.

[0129] Therefore, by monitoring the user's operation status and cooking status in real time, this embodiment of the invention can promptly activate the automatic takeover function of the stove to automatically adjust the firepower and other controls based on the user's inactivity time and the overflow situation under different cooking modes, thereby reducing the occurrence of burning, overflow and other situations, improving the user's cooking safety and enhancing the user experience.
