[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Currently, the smart recipes used in automatic cooking processes are usually pre-configured by the user and remain unchanged during the cooking process. Although the cooking process can be automated, the cooking flexibility is low, making it difficult to meet the user's cooking requirements and thus reducing the user experience.

[0026] Based on this, the cooking control method, device, and kitchen appliance provided in this embodiment of the invention can effectively alleviate the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0027] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a cooking control method disclosed in this embodiment of the invention will first be described in detail.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the present invention provides a cooking control method, which is applied to kitchen appliances. Specifically, it can be applied to the controller of the kitchen appliance or a smart device that communicates with the controller of the kitchen appliance, so as to perform cooking control when the kitchen appliance is running.

[0029] In this invention, the kitchen appliances refer to kitchen electrical appliances, such as smart stoves, integrated stoves, and cooking all-in-one machines, which are kitchen electrical appliances capable of intelligent cooking.

[0030] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 A flowchart of a cooking control method is shown, which includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S102: Responding to the kitchen appliance operating in the pre-configured smart recipe mode, monitor the gear adjustment operation applied to the fire control.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, in the smart recipe mode, the kitchen appliance operates according to a pre-configured smart recipe, that is, the kitchen appliance performs an automatic cooking process. The cooking curve configured for the smart recipe records the gear information and the cooking time corresponding to each gear. For example, in this cooking process, the gear information required for each cooking stage from the start to the end of cooking, as well as the cooking time corresponding to that gear information, are recorded in the cooking curve, and the kitchen appliance can operate according to the cooking curve in smart recipe mode.

[0033] Step S104: If a gear adjustment operation is detected, record the target gear corresponding to the gear adjustment operation, and the number of times the target gear is adjusted in the smart recipe mode.

[0034] Step S106: Determine whether the number of gear adjustments corresponding to the target gear is greater than a preset threshold number.

[0035] Step S108: If yes, update the gear information recorded in the smart recipe based on the target gear.

[0036] In actual use, users can choose manual cooking mode or automatic cooking mode according to their actual needs. When users choose automatic cooking, they need to configure the corresponding smart recipes for the kitchen appliances to use and recognize.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, when the kitchen appliance is running in automatic cooking mode, i.e., in intelligent recipe mode, the user can adjust the power level of the kitchen appliance according to actual needs, thereby controlling the heat of the cooking process. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the power level adjustment operation acting on the heat control can be monitored.

[0038] Typically, the power setting adjustment is used to adjust the heat level during cooking. This adjustment is usually performed manually by the user or automatically by the user through a smart terminal when the cooking process corresponding to the smart recipe does not match the ingredients.

[0039] For example, in environments with significant temperature changes, abnormal humidity, or large differences in temperature and humidity of ingredients, the cooking process corresponding to the cooking curve of the smart recipe may not be suitable for the current ingredients. Therefore, users can adjust the power control and thus adjust the power level to change the cooking state in the current smart recipe mode.

[0040] For a specific smart recipe, if the user performs multiple power level adjustments during the cooking process—for example, if the cooking database records that a user performed multiple power level adjustments (such as increasing the cooking heat) during a certain cooking stage of a smart recipe, and the number of power level adjustments exceeds a preset threshold—it indicates that the power level information of the smart recipe at that cooking stage does not match the actual cooking process. Therefore, in step S108, the smart recipe can be updated, that is, the original power level information of the smart recipe can be updated to the target power level, and a new cooking curve can be generated.

[0041] Furthermore, if the number of gear adjustments corresponding to the target gear level is not greater than a preset threshold, the number of gear adjustments is accumulated. That is, the target gear level and the number of gear adjustments corresponding to this cooking stage are accumulated. At the same time, the original gear information of the smart recipe will not be updated for this gear adjustment operation. Even if a new cooking curve is generated, the original smart recipe will not be updated. Instead, the smart recipe will be updated when the number of gear adjustments exceeds the preset threshold to avoid repeated updates of the smart recipe. It can also form a memory cooking operation for the smart recipe, making the cooking process more in line with the user's cooking needs.

[0042] For example, for Smart Recipe 1, the original cooking curve is set to A. When the user automatically executes Smart Recipe 1, they adjust the heat level midway based on experience. At this time, the controller of the kitchen appliance records the user's target adjustment level and generates a new cooking curve B. If, based on previous cooking records, or during subsequent cooking processes, the user adjusts the heat level multiple times (more than a preset threshold) when creating Smart Recipe 1, and generates a new cooking curve B multiple times, or the similarity to cooking curve B is greater than a preset threshold, it can be assumed that the user habitually uses cooking curve B when creating Smart Recipe 1. In this case, the heat level information recorded in the smart recipe can be updated based on the user's adjusted heat level and cooking curve B, that is, the cooking curve corresponding to Smart Recipe 1 is updated to cooking curve B. In this way, when the user cooks Smart Recipe 1 again later, they can directly control the kitchen appliance to run according to cooking curve B.

[0043] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, after updating the gear information recorded in the smart recipe based on the target gear, when the kitchen appliance is running in the pre-configured smart recipe mode, the updated smart recipe can be obtained, and the kitchen appliance can be controlled to run according to the cooking curve corresponding to the updated smart recipe.

[0044] Therefore, the cooking control method provided in this embodiment of the invention can respond to the operation of kitchen appliances in a pre-configured smart recipe mode, monitor the gear adjustment operation acting on the fire control; if a gear adjustment operation is detected, the target gear corresponding to the gear adjustment operation is recorded, as well as the number of times the target gear is adjusted in the smart recipe mode; it is determined whether the number of gear adjustments corresponding to the target gear is greater than a preset threshold; if so, the gear information recorded in the smart recipe is updated based on the target gear, realizing the automatic update process of the smart recipe, so that when the smart recipe is used again, the updated smart recipe can be used, avoiding the user from manually adjusting the gear, which not only improves the flexibility of cooking, but also enhances the user's cooking experience.

[0045] In actual use, in step S102 above, responding to the kitchen appliance running in the pre-configured smart recipe mode actually means that the kitchen appliance runs the cooking mode of the smart recipe mode under the user's configuration, that is, the automatic cooking process is performed according to the smart recipe. Therefore, after the kitchen appliance is powered on, the user usually needs to configure the cooking mode and select and confirm the smart recipe so that the kitchen appliance runs in the smart recipe mode. At this time, the controller can respond to the user's configuration to execute the cooking control method in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] For ease of understanding, based on the above embodiments, Figure 2A flowchart of another cooking control method is also provided to further describe the configuration process of the kitchen appliances and the cooking control process, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S202: In response to the start operation of the kitchen appliance, determine that the operating mode of the kitchen appliance is the smart recipe mode;

[0048] Specifically, in step S202, when it is determined that the operating mode of the kitchen appliance is the smart recipe mode, it is necessary to monitor the process of the user configuring the operating mode of the kitchen appliance. That is, if the user selects the smart recipe mode, it is determined that the operating mode of the kitchen appliance is the smart recipe mode. In this smart recipe mode, a pre-configured smart recipe list is displayed for the user to select. The smart recipe list records at least one smart recipe. Then, in response to the user's selection operation on the smart recipe, the smart recipe in the smart recipe mode is determined, and then the following step S204 is executed to start the smart recipe.

[0049] Step S204: Extract the smart recipe configured in the smart recipe mode; and in the smart recipe mode, control the kitchen appliances to run according to the smart recipe.

[0050] Specifically, in step S204, when controlling the kitchen appliance to run according to the smart recipe, it is necessary to extract the power level information recorded in the smart recipe, as well as the cooking time corresponding to each power level. Within the time range corresponding to the cooking time, the power control of the kitchen appliance is driven to operate according to the power level information. At the same time, the smart recipe can also record parameters such as the number of times the power level was adjusted when the user cooks the smart recipe, and whether the smart recipe has been updated, etc., which can be viewed and referenced by the user.

[0051] Furthermore, the heat control of the aforementioned kitchen appliance is an electric knob control; when the heat control of the kitchen appliance is driven to run according to the gear information, the target knob angle of the electric knob control can be determined according to the gear information; the motor of the electric knob control is driven to rotate so that the knob angle of the electric knob control reaches the target knob angle, thereby realizing the heat control of the kitchen appliance.

[0052] In practical applications, the aforementioned heat control is typically located within the gas pipeline. By changing the knob angle, the gas input flow rate can be altered, thereby controlling the heat level. For energy-consuming kitchen appliances such as ovens, the heat control can be a control that regulates the heating power of heating elements such as heating coils. Changing the knob angle alters the heating power of the heating elements, similarly controlling the heat level. The specific heat control depends on the actual usage, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations on it.

[0053] Furthermore, the correspondence between gear position information and knob angle can be pre-configured so that when the gear position information is determined, the target knob angle of the electric knob control can be directly determined based on the correspondence between the gear position information and the knob angle.

[0054] Step S206: Monitor the gear adjustment operation applied to the fire control. If a gear adjustment operation is detected, record the target gear corresponding to the gear adjustment operation, and the number of times the target gear is adjusted in the smart recipe mode.

[0055] Step S208: Determine whether the number of gear adjustments corresponding to the target gear is greater than a preset threshold number.

[0056] If yes, proceed to step S210; otherwise, proceed to step S212.

[0057] Step S210: Update the gear information recorded in the smart recipe based on the target gear.

[0058] Step S212: Accumulate the number of gear adjustments;

[0059] Step S214: Continue cooking until cooking is complete.

[0060] Furthermore, during actual cooking, the kitchen appliance can also respond to the end of cooking by driving the motor of the electric knob control to rotate, so that the electric knob control returns to the preset knob position, that is, drive the motor to rotate and return the electric knob control to its original position.

[0061] By controlling the cooking process described above, users can make adjustments during automatic cooking and update existing smart recipes. This not only enhances the flexibility of cooking and meets users' cooking needs but also effectively improves the user's cooking experience.

[0062] Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention also provide a cooking control device, applicable to kitchen appliances, such as... Figure 3 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a cooking control device, which includes:

[0063] The monitoring module 30 is used to respond to the operation of the kitchen appliance in a pre-configured smart recipe mode and monitor the gear adjustment operation applied to the fire control; wherein, in the smart recipe mode, the kitchen appliance operates according to the pre-configured smart recipe, wherein the smart recipe records gear information and the cooking time corresponding to each gear information;

[0064] The recording module 32 is used to record the target gear corresponding to the gear adjustment operation and the number of times the target gear is adjusted in the smart recipe mode if the gear adjustment operation is detected.

[0065] The judgment module 34 is used to determine whether the number of gear adjustments corresponding to the target gear is greater than a preset number threshold.

[0066] The update module 36 is used to update the gear information recorded in the smart recipe based on the target gear when the judgment result of the judgment module is yes.
