Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and in particular to a control method for an electric hot pot, an electric hot pot, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of small household appliances available today, and electric hot pots are an important category. Currently, the most common type on the market is the "Yuan Yang" (double-compartment) electric hot pot, which uses dual heating modules. Each heating module heats one compartment of the hot pot independently, and each module has its own power control knob. During use, users need to adjust these two knobs to control the operation of each heating module and heat the corresponding compartment. The disadvantage of this design is that the individual adjustment method cannot fully utilize the heating performance of the modules, and it cannot achieve automatic power switching to quickly heat one compartment, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This embodiment provides a control method for an electric hot pot, an electric hot pot, and a storage medium to solve the problem that related technical solutions cannot fully utilize the heating performance of the heating module, cannot achieve automatic power switching, and cannot quickly heat up one of the zones, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, this embodiment provides a control method for an electric hot pot, the electric hot pot including a base assembly and a pot body disposed on the base assembly; the pot body is divided into a first zone and a second zone; the base assembly includes a first heating module, a second heating module, a first temperature detection module, and a second temperature detection module; the first temperature detection module is used to collect the temperature of the first zone; the second temperature detection module is used to collect the temperature of the second zone; the first heating module is used to heat the first zone; the second heating module is used to heat the second zone; the method includes:

[0005] In dual-disc heating mode, a first power and a second power are determined. The first power corresponds to the first heating module. When the first zone is the primary heating object and the second zone is the secondary heating object, the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module. The second power corresponds to the second heating module. When the second zone is the primary heating object and the first zone is the secondary heating object, the second power is the maximum power of the second heating module. The first heating module is controlled to heat with the first power, and the second heating module is controlled to heat with the second power, selecting either the first zone or the second zone as the primary heating object.

[0006] When the temperature collected by one of the temperature detection modules reaches the first temperature, the power corresponding to the main heating object is switched to the heat preservation power; the first temperature is a set temperature threshold.

[0007] The power of the secondary heating object is switched to the third power to control another heating module to heat it until the temperature collected by the corresponding temperature detection module reaches the first temperature; and the third power of the secondary heating object is switched to the heat preservation power.

[0008] This embodiment solves the problem in related technologies where the heating performance of the heating module cannot be fully utilized, and automatic power switching cannot be achieved to quickly heat up one zone, resulting in a poor user experience. By allocating power to the main heating object, prioritizing its rapid heating, and then allocating power to the secondary heating object for rapid heating, intelligent power switching is achieved for the main and secondary heating objects, thereby optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot and improving the user experience.

[0009] In one embodiment, the total power of the two heating modules operating simultaneously is the sum of the first power and the second power, and the maximum power of the total power is 1500W to 3500W.

[0010] This embodiment ensures that the total power does not exceed the maximum range of household electricity consumption when both heating modules are working simultaneously, thus improving safety.

[0011] In one embodiment, the maximum power of the first power is 1500W to 3500W.

[0012] In this embodiment, the maximum power of the first power is set to 1500W to 3500W, so that the heating operation of a single first heating module can also reach the total power, thereby making full use of the heating performance of the first heating module.

[0013] In one embodiment, the maximum power of the second power is 1500W to 3500W.

[0014] In this embodiment, the maximum power of the second power is set to 1500W to 3500W, so that the heating operation of a single second heating module can also reach the total power, thereby making full use of the heating performance of the second heating module.

[0015] In one embodiment, the third power is the difference between the total power and the heat preservation power; the heat preservation power is the maximum power of the heating module corresponding to 100W to one-half of that.

[0016] This embodiment optimizes the performance of electric hot pot.

[0017] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0018] When the temperature difference collected by the first temperature detection module exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold, the first area is the main heating object, and the first heating module is switched to the maximum power control corresponding to the first area to heat up quickly to the first temperature.

[0019] Alternatively, when the temperature difference collected by the second temperature detection module exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold, the second zone becomes the main heating object, and the second heating module is switched to the maximum power control corresponding to the second zone to heat the area, so as to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature.

[0020] The temperature difference is the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature within a preset first cooling time.

[0021] In this embodiment, when water or material is suddenly added to a certain area, causing the temperature to drop, the system automatically switches to full power to quickly raise the temperature and achieve rapid boiling.

[0022] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0023] When the temperature difference between the temperatures collected by the first temperature detection module and the second temperature detection module both exceed a preset first temperature difference threshold, the first area or the second area is selected as the main heating object, and the corresponding power control of the first heating module or the second heating module is switched to perform heating; the temperature difference is the temperature difference value from the first temperature to the second temperature within a preset first cooling time.

[0024] When the temperature collected by one of the temperature detection modules reaches the first temperature, the power corresponding to the main heating object is switched to the heat preservation power.

[0025] The power of the secondary heating object is switched to the third power to control another heating module to heat it until the temperature collected by the corresponding temperature detection module reaches the first temperature; and the third power of the secondary heating object is switched to the heat preservation power.

[0026] This embodiment can fully utilize the power of the two heating modules, enabling the main heating object to heat up rapidly after cooling, thus improving the user experience.

[0027] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0028] In single-plate heating mode, select the first zone or the second zone as the single heating target;

[0029] Heating is performed using the maximum power of the heating module corresponding to the single heating object;

[0030] When the temperature detected by the temperature detection module corresponding to the single heating object reaches the first temperature, the maximum power is switched to the heat preservation power.

[0031] This embodiment demonstrates rapid heating and heat preservation in single-plate heating mode, offering multiple usage modes for user convenience.

[0032] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0033] When the temperature difference collected by the temperature detection module corresponding to the single heating object exceeds a preset first temperature difference threshold, the system switches to maximum power for heating to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature; the temperature difference is the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature within a preset first cooling time.

[0034] In this embodiment, after a rapid temperature drop, the power is automatically switched to quickly heat and keep warm, thereby optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot and improving the user experience.

[0035] In one embodiment, the temperature threshold is greater than or equal to 70°C.

[0036] This embodiment can be adapted to use in different regions to optimize the performance of the electric hot pot.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first temperature difference threshold is 3°C to 10°C.

[0038] This embodiment can sensitively identify the addition of water or ingredients, thereby optimizing the use of the electric hot pot.

[0039] Secondly, this embodiment provides an electric hot pot, including: a base assembly and a pot body disposed on the base assembly; the pot body is divided into a first zone and a second zone; the base assembly includes a first heating module, a second heating module, a first temperature detection module, a second temperature detection module, a processor, and a memory; the first temperature detection module is used to collect the temperature of the first zone; the second temperature detection module is used to collect the temperature of the second zone; the first heating module is used to heat the first zone; the second heating module is used to heat the second zone;

[0040] The memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the steps of the control method for the electric hot pot as described in the first aspect above when the computer program is executed.

[0041] Thirdly, this embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the electric hot pot control method as described in the first aspect above.

[0042] Compared with related technologies, the electric hot pot control method, electric hot pot, and storage medium provided in this embodiment include an electric hot pot comprising a chassis assembly and a pot body disposed on the chassis assembly; the pot body is divided into a first zone and a second zone; the chassis assembly includes a first heating module, a second heating module, a first temperature detection module, and a second temperature detection module; the first temperature detection module is used to collect the temperature of the first zone; the second temperature detection module is used to collect the temperature of the second zone; the first heating module is used to heat the first zone; the second heating module is used to heat the second zone; the method includes: in a dual-plate heating mode, determining a first power and a second power; the first power corresponds to the first heating module, and when the first zone is the primary heating object and the second zone is the secondary heating object, the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module; the second power corresponds to the second heating module, and when the second zone is the primary heating object and the first zone is the secondary heating object, the second power is the maximum power of the second heating module; controlling the first power. The first heating module heats the food, while the second heating module is controlled by a second power source. Either the first or second zone is selected as the primary heating area. When the temperature detected by one of the temperature detection modules reaches the first temperature, the power corresponding to the primary heating area is switched to the heat preservation power. The power of the secondary heating area is switched to a third power source to control another heating module for heating until the temperature detected by the corresponding temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. Then, the third power of the secondary heating area is switched back to the heat preservation power. This solves the problem in related technologies where the heating module's heating performance cannot be fully utilized, and automatic power switching cannot be achieved to quickly heat one zone, resulting in a poor user experience. By prioritizing power for the primary heating area, the power is then allocated to quickly heat the secondary heating area, achieving intelligent power switching for both primary and secondary heating areas. This optimizes the performance of the electric hot pot and improves the user experience.

[0052] To better understand the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this application, the application is described and explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] The method embodiments provided in this example can be executed in a terminal, computer, or similar computing device, which can be integrated into the electric hot pot; for example, a processor. The electric hot pot includes, but is not limited to, multi-functional cooking pots, electric hot pots, and small saucepans. Taking the method embodiment running on an electric hot pot as an example... Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the electric hot pot in this embodiment; Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the electrical functional modules of the electric hot pot in this embodiment. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric hot pot includes a base assembly 10 and a pot body disposed on the base assembly 10; the pot body is divided into a first zone 21 and a second zone 22; the base assembly 10 includes a first heating module 100, a second heating module 400, a first temperature detection module 200, a second temperature detection module 500, a processor, and a memory; the first temperature detection module 200 is used to collect the temperature of the first zone 21; the second temperature detection module 500 is used to collect the temperature of the second zone 22; the first heating module 100 is used to heat the first zone 21; the second heating module 400 is used to heat the second zone 22.

[0055] The pot body can be divided into a first zone 21 and a second zone 22 of different or the same size, depending on requirements; there are no restrictions on this. Each zone is equipped with at least one temperature detection module for measuring the temperature of that zone. Furthermore, the detection end of the temperature detection module can protrude from the bottom of the pot body of the corresponding zone; or a mounting groove can be opened in the pot body of the corresponding zone, with the detection end of the temperature detection module placed in the mounting groove; thereby improving the accuracy of temperature detection. To further improve the accuracy of temperature detection and optimize assembly and processing, a table comparing the collected temperature with the actual temperature within the zone can be set up; temperature correction can be achieved by referring to the table using the collected temperature.

[0056] The first heating module 100 and the second heating module 400 can be resistive heating modules, electromagnetic heating modules, etc., and there are no restrictions on them.

[0057] The processor and memory can be integrated into the control module 700. The processor can be, but is not limited to, a microprocessor (MCU) or a programmable logic device (FPGA). The memory can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the control method in this embodiment. The processor executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory, thereby implementing the methods of each embodiment. The memory can include high-speed random access memory (RAM) and non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory can further include memory remotely located relative to the processor, and these remote memories can be connected to the terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks (LANs), mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof. Those skilled in the art will understand that… Figure 1 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the electric hot pot described above.

[0058] The electric hot pot also includes a function selection module 800; the function selection module 800 is connected to the processor and is used to determine the heating mode; the heating modes include single-plate heating mode and dual-plate heating mode.

[0059] The electric hot pot also includes a first heating drive module 300 and a second heating drive module 600; the first heating drive module 300 is used to drive the first heating module 100 to work under the control of the control module 700. The second heating drive module 600 is used to drive the second heating module 400 to work under the control of the control module 700.

[0060] It should be noted that the above modules can be functional modules or program modules, and can be implemented through software or hardware. For modules implemented through hardware, the above modules can reside in the same processor; or the above modules can be located in different processors in any combination.

[0061] This embodiment provides a control method for an electric hot pot. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the control method for the electric hot pot in this embodiment, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S310: In dual-plate heating mode, determine the first power and the second power; the first power corresponds to the first heating module, and when the first zone is the main heating object and the second zone is the secondary heating object, the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module; the second power corresponds to the second heating module, and when the second zone is the main heating object and the first zone is the secondary heating object, the second power is the maximum power of the second heating module; control the heating of the first heating module with the first power and control the heating of the second heating module with the second power, and select the first zone or the second zone as the main heating object;

[0063] Step S320: When the temperature collected by one of the temperature detection modules reaches the first temperature, the power corresponding to the main heating object is switched to the heat preservation power; the first temperature is the set temperature threshold.

[0064] Step S330: Switch the power of the auxiliary heating object to the third power to control another heating module to heat until the temperature collected by the corresponding temperature detection module reaches the first temperature; and switch the third power of the auxiliary heating object to the heat preservation power.

[0065] Specifically, the first power is the power supported by the first heating module, which can be adjusted between its maximum and minimum power. The second power is the power supported by the second heating module, which can also be adjusted between its maximum and minimum power. The total power of the electric hot pot (the sum of the power of the two heating modules) is fixed. During the rapid heating to the first temperature in dual-plate heating mode, the first and second power are allocated in a way that prioritizes the power of the main heating object, thereby fully utilizing the performance of both heating modules to achieve the goal of rapid heating of the main heating object.

[0066] One way to allocate power to the primary heating object is to assign the corresponding maximum power to the heating module of the primary heating object. For example, if the first zone is the primary heating object, then the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module; the second power is the total power minus the maximum power of the first heating module. Another example: if the second zone is the primary heating object, then the second power is the maximum power of the second heating module; the second power is the initial power obtained by subtracting the maximum power of the second heating module from the total power.

[0067] The first temperature is a pre-set temperature threshold, which is the target temperature for rapid heating and also the condition for power switching. The first temperature can be ≥70℃ to adapt to different regions and optimize the electric hot pot's performance. Using the first temperature as a power switching criterion means that power switching occurs when the temperature collected by one of the temperature detection modules reaches the first temperature. The heat preservation power, which is much lower than the first power, can be considered low power, maintaining the first and / or second zones at the first temperature to quickly cook the ingredients and maintain a boiling point, preventing splattering. The third power is lower than the first power but higher than the heat preservation power, and at the third power, it can quickly heat the secondary heating object.

[0068] The following explanation uses the first zone as the primary heating zone and the second zone as the secondary heating zone as an example:

[0069] The first heating module is heated using a first power setting, and the second heating module is heated using a second power setting. Since the first zone is the primary heating target, the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module. The second power is the initial power obtained by subtracting the maximum power of the first heating module from the total power. At this point, the temperature of the first zone rises rapidly, causing the temperature detected by the first temperature detection module to reach the first temperature. The first power is then switched from maximum power to heat preservation power. The second power is then switched from the initial power to a third power setting, and the second heating module is heated using the third power setting until the temperature detected by the second temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. Finally, the third power setting is switched back to heat preservation power. Thus, both the first and second zones have reached the first temperature, and during this process, the power of both heating modules is fully utilized, achieving the goal of rapidly heating the primary heating target and improving the user experience.

[0070] Of course, when the second zone is the primary heating object and the first zone is the secondary heating object, the implementation process is similar, and will not be repeated here.

[0071] In related technologies, the most common type of electric hot pot on the market uses dual heating modules; each heating module heats one of the two sections of the hot pot independently, and each heating module is equipped with its own power adjustment knob. During use, the user needs to adjust these two power adjustment knobs to control the operation of the dual heating modules separately to heat the corresponding section. The disadvantage of this approach is that using individual adjustment cannot fully utilize the heating performance of the heating modules, and it cannot achieve automatic power switching to quickly heat one section, resulting in a poor user experience. The method of this application includes: in dual-section heating mode, determining a first power and a second power; the first power corresponds to the first heating module, and when the first section is the primary heating object and the second section is the secondary heating object, the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module; the second power corresponds to the second heating module, and when the second section is the primary heating object and the first section is the secondary heating object, the second power is the maximum power of the second heating module; controlling the heating of the first heating module with the first power and controlling the heating of the second heating module with the second power, selecting either the first or second section as the primary heating object; and at one of the temperatures... When the temperature detected by the detection module reaches the first temperature, the power corresponding to the main heating object is switched to the heat preservation power; the power of the secondary heating object is switched to the third power to control another heating module to heat until the temperature detected by the corresponding temperature detection module reaches the first temperature; then the third power of the secondary heating object is switched back to the heat preservation power. This solves the problem in related technologies that cannot fully utilize the heating performance of the heating module and cannot achieve automatic power switching to quickly heat up one area, resulting in a poor user experience. By prioritizing power for the main heating object, the main heating object is heated quickly, and then the power is allocated to quickly heat the secondary heating object, achieving intelligent power switching for the main and secondary heating objects, thereby optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot and improving the user experience.

[0072] The relevant parameters for each device can be selected based on the actual application scenario. Examples are given below:

[0073] The set temperature threshold T is ≥70℃; this temperature threshold T can be considered as the boiling point, and it will change under different atmospheric pressures; it can be 70℃, 80℃, 90℃, etc. This allows for adaptation to different regions, optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot.

[0074] The first cooling time is preset and can be 2 seconds, 1 second, 0.5 seconds, etc., without limitation. The first temperature difference threshold is 3℃ to 10℃; preferably, it is 5℃. It can sensitively detect the addition of water or ingredients to optimize the use of the electric hot pot.

[0075] In this design, the first power refers to the power of the first heating module, and the second power refers to the power of the second heating module. During the initial rapid heating process, the two modules coordinate with each other, prioritizing power to the primary heating object. For example, the maximum power range W1 of the first heating module is (1500W ≤ W1 ≤ 3500W), and the maximum power range W2 of the second heating module is (1500W ≤ W1 ≤ 3500W). When the first and second heating modules operate simultaneously, the maximum total power range W3 is (1500W ≤ W3 ≤ 3500W), ensuring the total power does not exceed the maximum range for household electricity usage and improving safety. If the first zone is the primary heating object, then the first power is the maximum power of the first heating module (2200W), and the total power is 3500W; the second power is 1300W. In other embodiments, the first power, second power, and total power can be selected by the product being applied, without limitation. By setting different maximum power values, each heating module can achieve the total power, fully utilizing the heating performance of each module.

[0076] The insulation power of the two heating modules can be the same or different. For example, the insulation power Wb can be set to 100W≤Wb≤1 / 2×W1 or 100W≤Wb≤1 / 2×W2. Another example: the insulation power of the first heating module is 100W≤Wb≤1 / 2×W1; the insulation power of the second heating module is 100W≤Wb≤1 / 2×W2.

[0077] This embodiment optimizes the relevant parameters of each component, thereby improving the performance of the electric hot pot while ensuring heating efficiency.

[0078] In some embodiments, the control method for the electric hot pot further includes the following steps:

[0079] Determine the heating mode; heating modes include single-plate heating mode and dual-plate heating mode.

[0080] Specifically, since each zone is equipped with a temperature detection module and a heating module (for example, the first zone corresponds to a first temperature detection module and a first heating module; the second zone corresponds to a second temperature detection module and a second heating module), it is possible to control the first zone and the second zone individually or together.

[0081] Furthermore, in response to user selection or automatic detection, the heating mode is determined as either single-plate heating mode or dual-plate heating mode. For example, if the user selects to heat only the first or second zone, it is single-plate heating mode; if the user selects to heat both the first and second zones together, it is dual-plate heating mode. As another example, if material is detected in either the first or second zone, it is single-plate heating mode; if material is detected in both the first and second zones, it is dual-plate heating mode.

[0082] When starting work, the system first determines whether it is in single-plate heating mode or dual-plate heating mode. Single-plate heating mode means that only one zone and its corresponding devices (temperature detection module and heating module) are activated; dual-plate heating mode means that both zones and their corresponding devices are activated.

[0083] This embodiment provides multiple heating modes to facilitate user operation and further enhance the user experience.

[0084] Taking different heating modes as examples, the above steps will be explained in detail:

[0085] For the dual-plate heating mode, the implementation can be referred to in steps S310 to S330, and will not be repeated here.

[0086] However, it should be noted that the dual-plate heating mode also features a rapid heating mechanism after rapid cooling. This mechanism enables rapid heating and heat preservation after cooling, thereby optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot and improving the user experience.

[0087] The rapid heating mechanism is described below.

[0088] In some embodiments, the control method for the electric hot pot further includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S340: When the temperature difference collected by the first temperature detection module exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold, the first zone is the main heating object, and the first heating module corresponding to the first zone is switched to the maximum power control for heating to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature.

[0090] Step S350, or, when the temperature difference collected by the second temperature detection module exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold, the second zone is the main heating object, and the second heating module corresponding to the second zone is switched to the maximum power control for heating, so as to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature.

[0091] The temperature difference is the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature within a preset first cooling time.

[0092] The first cooling time is a relatively short, pre-set time. A rapid cooling process occurs when the temperature difference exceeds a preset first temperature difference threshold. For example, if the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature exceeds the first temperature difference threshold within the preset first cooling time, it can be assumed that water or material has been added to the first zone and / or the second zone, causing rapid cooling. In this case, rapid heating is required to return the temperature to the first temperature.

[0093] In this embodiment, it can be considered that if the temperature difference in only one zone (the first zone or the second zone) exceeds the temperature difference threshold, then this zone is automatically adjusted to be the primary heating target. For example, if only the temperature corresponding to the first zone exceeds the first temperature difference threshold, the first zone becomes the primary heating target, and the first heating module corresponding to the first zone is switched to its maximum power for heating to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature. Alternatively, if only the temperature corresponding to the second zone exceeds the first temperature difference threshold, the second zone becomes the primary heating target, and the second heating module corresponding to the second zone is switched to its maximum power for heating to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature.

[0094] In this embodiment, when water or material is suddenly added to a certain area, causing the temperature to drop, the system automatically switches to full power (the maximum power that can be used at this time) to quickly raise the temperature and achieve rapid boiling.

[0095] In some embodiments, the control method for the electric hot pot further includes the following steps:

[0096] When the temperature difference between the temperatures collected by the first temperature detection module and the second temperature detection module both exceed the preset first temperature difference threshold, the first zone or the second zone is selected as the main heating object, and the corresponding power control first heating module or second heating module is switched to perform heating; the temperature difference is the temperature difference value from the first temperature to the second temperature within the preset first cooling time.

[0097] When the temperature collected by one of the temperature detection modules reaches the first temperature, the power corresponding to the main heating object is switched to the heat preservation power.

[0098] Switch the power of the secondary heating object to the third power to control another heating module to heat it until the temperature collected by the corresponding temperature detection module reaches the first temperature; then switch the third power of the secondary heating object to the heat preservation power.

[0099] The temperature difference and the first cooling time will not be explained again here.

[0100] In this embodiment, it can be considered that if the temperature difference between the two zones (zone 1 and zone 2) exceeds the temperature difference threshold, one zone is automatically selected as the primary heating target, and a mechanism of tilting power to the primary heating target is used to achieve rapid heating. For example, if the temperatures of zones 1 and 2 simultaneously exceed the first temperature difference threshold, zone 1 can be selected as the primary heating target. The first heating module is switched to the first power to control the heating, and the temperature of zone 1 will rise rapidly, causing the temperature collected by the first temperature detection module to reach the first temperature. The first power is then switched from maximum power to heat preservation power. The second power is switched from initial power to third power, and the second heating module is then controlled by the third power to heat until the temperature collected by the second temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. Finally, the third power is switched back to heat preservation power. At this point, both zones 1 and 2 have been heated back to the first temperature, and during this process, the power of both heating modules can be fully utilized, achieving rapid heating of the primary heating target after cooling, thus improving the user experience.

[0101] The control process of the dual-disc heating mode is explained below using a preferred embodiment where the first zone is the primary heating target and the second zone is the secondary heating target as an example:

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the first heating module's heating is controlled by its maximum power W1 (1500W≤W1≤3500W). The second heating module automatically adjusts to its power W4 (total power W3 - maximum power W1) to heat until the temperature of the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature (set temperature T). At this point, the temperature of the second temperature detection module has not reached the first temperature. The power of the first heating module is switched from the maximum power W1 (first power) to the heat preservation power Wb (100W≤Wb≤1 / 2×W1) to control the first heating module to heat and maintain the first temperature.

[0103] The power of the second heating module is switched from power W4 to the third power W5 (total power W3-Wb) to control the second heating module to heat until the temperature of the second temperature detection module reaches the first temperature (set temperature T); the power of the second heating module is then switched from the third power W5 to the heat preservation power Wb to control the second heating module to heat and maintain the first temperature. In other embodiments, the heat preservation powers of the two heating modules may be different.

[0104] At this point, the temperatures collected by both the first and second temperature detection modules have reached the first temperature, and the first and second heating modules are heated using the second power control to maintain the first temperature. This maximizes the speed of the heating process in a single zone and improves heating efficiency.

[0105] Further assessment is needed to determine if a rapid cooling has occurred in Zone 1 and / or Zone 2. The following scenarios are possible:

[0106] Scenario 1 (Rapid Cooling in a Single Zone): When the temperature difference of the first temperature detection module exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold (while the temperature difference of the second temperature detection module does not exceed the preset first temperature difference threshold), it is considered that rapid cooling has occurred in the first zone, and the first zone is selected as the main heating target. At this time, the maximum power W1 of the first heating module is used as the first power to control the heating of the first heating module, and the second heating module is automatically adjusted to power W4 (total power W3 - maximum power W1) for heating until the temperature of the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature; then the power of both heating modules is switched to the heat preservation power Wb; thereby maximizing the acceleration of the heating process, improving heating efficiency, and reducing the impact on the second zone.

[0107] Scenario 2 (Rapid Cooling in a Single Zone): When the temperature difference between the second temperature detection module and the second temperature detection module exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold (if the temperature difference between the first temperature detection module and the second temperature detection module does not exceed the preset first temperature difference threshold), it is considered that rapid cooling has occurred in the second zone, and the second zone is selected as the main heating target. At this time, the maximum power W2 is used as the second power to control the heating of the second heating module, and the first heating module is automatically adjusted to power W4 (total power W3 - maximum power W2) for heating until the temperature of the second temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. Then, the power of both heating modules is switched to the heat preservation power Wb. This can accelerate the heating process to the greatest extent, improve heating efficiency, and reduce the impact on the second zone.

[0108] Scenario 3 (Rapid Cooling Occurs Simultaneously in Both Zones): When the temperature difference between the first temperature detection module and the second temperature detection module both exceed a preset first temperature difference threshold, it is considered that rapid cooling has occurred simultaneously in both zones. The first or second zone is selected as the primary heating target. For example, the first zone is selected as the primary heating target. The maximum power W1 of the first heating module is used as the first power to control the heating of the first heating module, and the second heating module automatically adjusts to power W4 (total power W3 - maximum power W1) for heating until the temperature of the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. At this point, the temperature of the second temperature detection module has not reached the first temperature. The power of the first heating module is switched from maximum power W1 to heat preservation power Wb to control the heating of the first heating module and maintain the first temperature. The power of the second heating module is switched from power W4 to power W5 (the third power is total power W3 - heat preservation power Wb) to control the heating of the second heating module until the temperature of the second temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. The power of the second heating module is switched from power W5 to heat preservation power Wb to control the heating of the second heating module and maintain the first temperature.

[0109] The control process for the second zone as the main heating object is similar and will not be repeated here.

[0110] This embodiment enables intelligent power switching and fully balances energy consumption and user experience, optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot.

[0111] For single-plate heating mode:

[0112] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the control method for an electric hot pot also includes the following steps:

[0113] Step S510: In single-plate heating mode, select the first zone or the second zone as the single heating object;

[0114] Step S520: Heat the object at the maximum power of the heating module corresponding to the single object being heated;

[0115] In step S530, when the temperature collected by the temperature detection module corresponding to the single heating object reaches the first temperature, the maximum power is switched to the heat preservation power.

[0116] Specifically, it can be considered that one of the first and second zones is selected as a single heating object, and the subsequent heating control process is the same, only the controlled objects are different. The objects in the first zone are the first temperature detection module and the first heating module; the objects in the second zone are the second temperature detection module and the second heating module.

[0117] Let's take selecting the first zone as the single heating target as an example for explanation:

[0118] The heating of the first heating module is controlled by the maximum power of the first heating module until the temperature collected by the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature. This can accelerate the heating process to the greatest extent and improve the heating efficiency. When the temperature collected by the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature, the heating module is switched from the maximum power to the heat preservation power to maintain the first temperature.

[0119] This embodiment demonstrates rapid heating and heat preservation in single-plate heating mode, offering multiple usage modes for user convenience.

[0120] In some embodiments, the control method for the electric hot pot further includes the following steps:

[0121] When the temperature difference collected by the temperature detection module corresponding to a single heating object exceeds the preset first temperature difference threshold, the system switches to maximum power for heating to quickly raise the temperature to the first temperature; the temperature difference is the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature within a preset first cooling time.

[0122] Specifically, the temperature difference and the first cooling time will not be repeated here.

[0123] In this embodiment, it can be considered that a single heating object experiences rapid cooling; for example, the first heating object is the first zone, and adding material or water to the first zone causes the first zone to cool down rapidly, and the temperature difference exceeds the first temperature difference threshold; at this time, the first zone is heated with the maximum power of the first heating module, so that the temperature of the first zone rises rapidly to the first temperature.

[0124] In this embodiment, after a rapid temperature drop, the power is automatically switched to quickly heat and keep warm, thereby optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot and improving the user experience.

[0125] The control process of the single-plate heating mode is explained below using a preferred embodiment in which the first zone is selected as the single heating target as an example:

[0126] like Figure 6 As shown, the maximum power W1 (1500W ≤ W1 ≤ 3500W) of the first heating module is used as the first power to control the heating of the first heating module until the temperature collected by the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature (the set temperature threshold T). This maximizes the speed of the heating process and improves heating efficiency. When the temperature collected by the first temperature detection module reaches the first temperature, the maximum power W1 (first power) is switched to the heat preservation power Wb to control the heating of the first heating module to maintain the first temperature.

[0127] Specifically, maintaining the first temperature means that the first temperature drops to the third temperature within the second cooling time, i.e., the temperature difference exceeds the second temperature difference threshold. (The third temperature is greater than the second temperature; the second cooling time is greater than the first cooling time, and the cooling process is a slow cooling process). At this time, the first heating module is heated by controlling the heat preservation power so that the temperature returns to the first temperature, and then the heating is stopped to maintain the first temperature. Thus, the first temperature can be maintained while controlling energy consumption.

[0128] The temperature difference decreased by the first temperature detection module is greater than or equal to the preset first temperature difference threshold. When the insulation power Wb (100W≤Wb≤1 / 2×W1) is switched to the maximum power W1 (first power) of the first heating module, the first heating module is controlled to heat up quickly to the first temperature. Specifically, when the first temperature drops to the second temperature within the first cooling time (this cooling process is rapid), the first heating module is controlled to heat up at the maximum power to quickly return the temperature to the first temperature, and then heating is stopped. This allows for automatic power switching to achieve rapid heating when rapid cooling occurs due to the user adding water or materials, improving the user experience.

[0129] This embodiment enables intelligent power switching and fully balances energy consumption and user experience, optimizing the performance of the electric hot pot.

[0130] The single-plate heating mode for the second zone is similar and will not be repeated here.
