Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steam oven control technology, and in particular to a water injection control method, device, equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When cooking food in a steam oven or steam oven using the steaming mode, it is crucial to ensure that the heating plate is always kept moist, as this directly affects the cooking results, the safety of the equipment, and its lifespan.

[0003] However, existing water injection control methods typically trigger the water injection mechanism only after detecting that the heating plate has entered a dry-burning state. This method has the following problems: First, before each water injection trigger, the heating plate inevitably undergoes a brief dry-burning period, during which the temperature rises sharply. This drastic temperature change accelerates the oxidation process of the heating plate surface material, causing it to age faster and even deform, thus significantly shortening the heating plate's lifespan. Second, during the water injection process, the sudden contact between the high-temperature heating plate and cold water generates strong thermal stress, accompanied by significant evaporation and a hissing noise. This not only affects the stability of the steam oven or steam oven's operation but also reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a water injection control method, device, equipment, and storage medium to fundamentally prevent the heating plate from dry burning, extend the service life of the heating plate, improve the stability of the operation of the steam oven or steam oven, and enhance the user experience.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a water injection control method is provided, the method comprising:

[0006] During the process of cooking food in steam mode, before the i-th (i>3) water is added to the heating plate, the remaining water mass on the heating plate is determined based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature, and the water mass added to the heating plate in the (i-1)-th time.

[0007] The water mass to be injected into the heating plate for the i-th time is determined based on the remaining water mass and the target water mass.

[0008] The water pump is controlled to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time based on the water mass injected into the heating plate and the water pump flow rate.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, a water injection control device is provided, the device comprising:

[0010] The remaining water mass determination module is used to determine the remaining water mass on the heating plate before the i-th (i>3)th time water is added to the heating plate during the process of cooking food in steam mode, based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature and the water mass added to the heating plate in the (i-1)th time.

[0011] The water injection quality determination module is used to determine the water injection quality of the i-th time the water is injected into the heating plate based on the remaining water quality and the target water quality.

[0012] The water injection control module is used to control the water pump to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time based on the water injection mass and water pump flow rate.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising:

[0014] At least one processor;

[0015] and a memory communicatively connected to at least one processor; wherein,

[0016] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by at least one processor, such that the at least one processor is able to perform the water injection control method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, which stores computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the water injection control method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer program product is provided, comprising a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the water injection control method of any embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] The technical solution of this invention, during the steaming process, before the i-th (i>3)th water injection into the heating plate, determines the remaining water mass on the heating plate based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature, and the water injection mass of the (i-1)th injection. Based on the remaining water mass and the target water mass, the water injection mass for the i-th injection into the heating plate is determined. Based on the water injection mass for the i-th injection and the water pump flow rate, the water pump is controlled to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time. This technical solution dynamically determines the next water injection mass based on the remaining water mass on the heating plate during steaming, ensuring that there is always water on the heating plate. This fundamentally prevents the heating plate from drying out, extends its lifespan, improves the stability of the steamer or steam oven, and enhances the user experience.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "target," "first," and "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 embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a water injection control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to preventing the heating plate in a steam oven or steam oven from drying out. The method can be executed by a water injection control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0030] S101. During the process of cooking food in steam mode, before adding water to the heating plate for the i (i>3)th time, determine the remaining water mass on the heating plate based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature and the water mass added to the heating plate for the (i-1)th time.

[0031] Where i is a positive integer. The cooking process refers to the process of cooking food in a steam oven or steam oven using the steaming mode. The water boiling temperature refers to the temperature at which water boils, i.e., 100℃. The water tank temperature refers to the temperature of the water in the water tank of the steam oven or steam oven. The water injection mass refers to the mass of water injected into the heating plate in the (i-1)th time. The water mixing temperature refers to the temperature of the water after the remaining water on the heating plate is mixed with the injected water; optionally, the water mixing temperature can be measured by a temperature sensing unit installed in the steam oven or steam oven. The temperature sensing unit is used to measure the temperature of the water on the heating plate. The remaining water mass refers to the mass of water remaining on the heating plate before the i-th time water is injected into the heating plate.

[0032] It should be noted that during the cooking process, the water mixing temperature needs to be measured again after each addition of water to the heating plate. It should also be noted that the heating plate should be turned off before each addition of water to eliminate any interference from its large heat capacity with subsequent water mixing temperature measurements, ensuring the accuracy of the water mixing temperature.

[0033] Specifically, during the steaming process, before adding water to the heating plate for the i-th (i>3)th time, the remaining water mass on the heating plate is determined based on the following heat balance equation, according to the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature, and the mass of water added to the heating plate for the (i-1)th time:

[0034] ;

[0035] in, Indicates the mass of the remaining water on the heating plate; This represents the mass of water injected into the heating plate during the (i-1)th injection. Indicates the boiling point of water; Indicates the water temperature in the tank; This indicates the temperature at which the water is mixed.

[0036] S102. Determine the water mass to be injected into the heating plate for the i-th time based on the remaining water mass and the target water mass.

[0037] The target water mass refers to the maximum mass of water that the heating plate can hold. Optionally, the target water mass can be determined based on the volume and density of water corresponding to the highest water level on the heating plate, that is, the target water mass is equal to the product of the volume and density of water corresponding to the highest water level on the heating plate.

[0038] Specifically, the difference between the target water mass and the remaining water mass is used as the water mass injected into the heating plate for the i-th time.

[0039] S103. Based on the water injection mass and water pump flow rate of the i-th water injection into the heating plate, control the water pump to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time.

[0040] The water pump flow rate refers to the mass of water injected into the heating plate by the water pump per unit time; optionally, the water pump flow rate can be measured by a water flow sensor installed on the water inlet pipe of the steam oven or steam oven.

[0041] Specifically, the quotient of the water injection mass divided by the water pump flow rate is used as the water injection time; according to the water injection time, the water pump is controlled to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time.

[0042] The technical solution of this invention, during the steaming process, before the i-th (i>3)th water injection into the heating plate, determines the remaining water mass on the heating plate based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature, and the water injection mass of the (i-1)th injection. Based on the remaining water mass and the target water mass, the water injection mass for the i-th injection into the heating plate is determined. Based on the water injection mass for the i-th injection and the water pump flow rate, the water pump is controlled to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time. This technical solution dynamically determines the next water injection mass based on the remaining water mass on the heating plate during steaming, ensuring that there is always water on the heating plate. This fundamentally prevents the heating plate from drying out, extends its lifespan, improves the stability of the steamer or steam oven, and enhances the user experience.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a water injection control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation. It should be noted that parts not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention can be referred to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0045] S201. Before starting the steam mode, control the water pump to inject the first mass of water into the heating plate for the first time. After the water injection is completed, start the steam mode and control the heating plate to heat the water on it until the water temperature reaches the boiling point. Then, control the heating plate to stop working.

[0046] The first mass refers to the mass of water injected into the heating plate for the first time; optionally, the first mass can be determined through a large number of experiments, and the embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit it.

[0047] Specifically, before starting the steam mode of the steam oven or steam oven, the water pump is controlled to inject the first mass of water into the heating plate. After the water injection is completed, the steam mode of the steam oven or steam oven is started, and the heating plate is controlled to heat the water on it until the water temperature reaches the boiling point, at which point the heating plate stops working.

[0048] S202, Control the water pump to inject a second mass of water into the heating plate for the second time, and obtain the water mixing temperature after the water injection is completed.

[0049] The second mass refers to the mass of water injected into the heating plate for the second time; optionally, the second mass is equal to the first mass, and the sum of the first mass and the second mass is less than or equal to the target water mass.

[0050] Specifically, the water pump injects a second mass of water into the heating plate for the second time, and after the water injection is completed, the water-water mixture temperature on the heating plate is obtained through the temperature sensing unit.

[0051] S203. Determine the water temperature in the tank based on the first mass, the boiling temperature of the water, the second mass, and the water mixing temperature.

[0052] Specifically, based on the first mass, the boiling point of water, the second mass, and the water mixing temperature, the water temperature in the tank is determined according to the following heat balance equation:

[0053] ;

[0054] in, Indicates the water temperature in the tank; Indicates the boiling point of water; Indicates the temperature at which water is mixed; Indicates the first mass; It indicates the second mass.

[0055] Understandably, the water temperature in the tank can be determined based on the heat balance equation during the water mixing process, according to the first mass, the boiling temperature of water, the second mass, and the water mixing temperature. This eliminates the need to install a temperature sensing unit in the steamer or steam oven to measure the water temperature in the tank, thus saving equipment costs.

[0056] S204. After the heating plate heats the water on it for a preset time, control the heating plate to stop working.

[0057] The preset time is less than the dry-burning time at which the heating plate will dry-burn. The dry-burning time can be determined by conducting a dry-burning experiment on the heating plate.

[0058] S205. Control the water pump to inject a third mass of water into the heating plate for the third time, and obtain the water mixing temperature after the water injection is completed.

[0059] The third mass refers to the mass of water injected into the heating plate for the third time; optionally, the third mass can be determined through a large number of experiments, and the embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit it.

[0060] S206. After the heating plate has heated the water on it for a preset time, control the heating plate to stop working.

[0061] It should be noted that, starting from the second time water is added to the heating plate, after each water addition and the water mixing temperature is obtained, the heating plate is controlled to heat the water on it for a preset time before the heating plate stops working, and then water is added to the heating plate again.

[0062] S207. During the process of cooking food in steam mode, before the i-th (i>3)th time water is added to the heating plate, the remaining water mass on the heating plate is determined based on the water boiling temperature, the water temperature in the water tank, the water mixing temperature, and the water mass added to the heating plate in the (i-1)th time.

[0063] Specifically, if i=4, then during the process of cooking food in steam mode, before the fourth water is added to the heating plate, the remaining water mass on the heating plate is determined based on the water boiling temperature, the water temperature in the water tank, the mass of water added to the heating plate in the third time (i.e., the third mass), and the water mixing temperature obtained after the third water is added to the heating plate.

[0064] S208. Determine the water mass to be injected into the heating plate for the i-th time based on the remaining water mass and the target water mass.

[0065] Specifically, if i=4, the difference between the target water mass and the remaining water mass will be used as the water mass added to the heating plate for the fourth time during the steaming cooking process.

[0066] S209. Based on the water injection mass and water pump flow rate of the i-th water injection into the heating plate, control the water pump to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time.

[0067] It should be noted that during the steam cooking process, after completing S209, S206 is executed again to ensure that there is always water on the heating plate throughout the entire steam cooking process, thus preventing the heating plate from drying out.

[0068] The technical solution of this invention involves the following steps: Before starting the steaming mode, the water pump is controlled to inject a first mass of water onto the heating plate. After the water injection is completed, the steaming mode is started, and the heating plate is controlled to heat the water until the water temperature reaches the boiling point, at which point the heating plate stops working. The water pump is then controlled to inject a second mass of water onto the heating plate, and the water mixing temperature is obtained after the water injection is completed. The water temperature in the tank is determined based on the first mass, the boiling point, the second mass, and the water mixing temperature. After the heating plate has heated the water for a preset time, the heating plate stops working. Finally, the water pump is controlled to inject a third mass of water onto the heating plate. The system uses water of a third quality and obtains the water mixing temperature after water injection. After controlling the heating plate to heat the water for a preset time, it stops working. During steam cooking, before the i-th (i>3)th water injection into the heating plate, the remaining water quality on the heating plate is determined based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature, and the water quality injected during the (i-1)th injection. The water quality for the i-th injection into the heating plate is determined based on the remaining water quality and the target water quality. The water pump is controlled to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time based on the water quality and pump flow rate. This technical solution dynamically determines the next water injection quality based on the remaining water quality on the heating plate during steam cooking in a steam oven or steam oven, ensuring there is always water on the heating plate. This fundamentally prevents the heating plate from drying out, extends its lifespan, improves the stability of the steam oven or steam oven operation, and enhances the user experience.

[0069] Example 3

[0070] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a water injection control device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to preventing the heating plate in a steam oven or steam oven from drying out. The device can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0071] The remaining water mass determination module 301 is used to determine the remaining water mass on the heating plate before the i-th (i>3)th time water is added to the heating plate during the process of cooking food in steam mode, based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature and the water mass added to the heating plate in the (i-1)th time.

[0072] The water injection quality determination module 302 is used to determine the water injection quality for the i-th time to be injected into the heating plate based on the remaining water quality and the target water quality.

[0073] The water injection control module 303 is used to control the water pump to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time based on the water injection mass and water pump flow rate.

[0074] The technical solution of this invention, during the steaming process, before the i-th (i>3)th water injection into the heating plate, determines the remaining water mass on the heating plate based on the water boiling temperature, water tank temperature, water mixing temperature, and the water injection mass of the (i-1)th injection. Based on the remaining water mass and the target water mass, the water injection mass for the i-th injection into the heating plate is determined. Based on the water injection mass for the i-th injection and the water pump flow rate, the water pump is controlled to inject water into the heating plate for the i-th time. This technical solution dynamically determines the next water injection mass based on the remaining water mass on the heating plate during steaming, ensuring that there is always water on the heating plate. This fundamentally prevents the heating plate from drying out, extends its lifespan, improves the stability of the steamer or steam oven, and enhances the user experience.

[0075] Optionally, the device further includes a water tank temperature determination module, which is specifically used for:

[0076] Before starting the steam mode, control the water pump to inject the first mass of water into the heating plate for the first time. After the water injection is completed, start the steam mode and control the heating plate to heat the water on it until the water temperature reaches the boiling point. Then, control the heating plate to stop working.

[0077] The water pump is controlled to inject a second mass of water into the heating plate, and the water mixing temperature is obtained after the water injection is completed.

[0080] Optionally, the remaining water quality determination module 301 is specifically used for:

[0081] Based on the boiling point of water, the water temperature in the tank, the water mixing temperature, and the mass of water injected into the heating plate in the (i-1)th iteration, the remaining mass of water on the heating plate is determined according to the following heat balance equation:

[0082] ;

[0083] in, Indicates the mass of the remaining water on the heating plate; This represents the mass of water injected into the heating plate during the (i-1)th injection. Indicates the boiling point of water; Indicates the water temperature in the tank; This indicates the temperature at which the water is mixed.
