Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to control methods for cooking appliances, cooking appliances, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] When cooking appliances such as rice cookers boil during the cooking process, they can stimulate the aroma-enhancing reaction of rice and other foods, producing a large amount of aromatic substances. However, they also produce a large amount of water vapor, which carries away the aromatic substances.

[0003] Currently, some cooking appliances have steam valves on the lid to condense steam during cooking, but the timing and efficiency of condensation cannot be controlled, resulting in poor condensation or boiling effects that affect the aroma of food. Others use a low-temperature airflow to directly condense steam into the cooking cavity, but this increases steam evaporation, causing significant loss of aroma compounds and affecting boiling. Therefore, it is clear that current steam condensation methods in cooking appliances result in food with poor aroma. Summary of the Invention

[0062] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0063] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0064] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0065] The main solution of this application embodiment is: a control method based on a cooking appliance, wherein the pot body is provided with a cooking cavity, the lid is configured to open or close the cooking cavity, a cooling component is provided on the lid, and the cooling component is configured to cool the lid when it is open, the method includes: acquiring cooking state parameters, the cooking state parameters representing the steam state in the cooking cavity; and controlling the operation of the cooling component according to the cooking state parameters.

[0066] In this embodiment, for ease of description, cooking utensils will be used as the subject of the description.

[0067] In some cooking appliances, the steam valve on the lid is used to condense steam during cooking, but the timing and efficiency of condensation cannot be controlled, resulting in poor condensation or boiling effects that affect the aroma of the food. Other methods involve directly introducing a low-temperature airflow into the cooking cavity for condensation, but this increases steam evaporation, causing significant loss of aroma compounds and affecting boiling. Therefore, current steam condensation methods in cooking appliances result in food with poor aroma.

[0068] This application provides the above-mentioned solution, which involves setting a cooling component on the lid corresponding to the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance. This component can cool the lid when the appliance is opened, allowing the steam generated in the cooking cavity to condense on the lid. The operation of the cooling component is controlled according to the cooking state parameters, thereby ensuring that the timing or efficiency of steam condensation on the lid during cooking can be precisely controlled to adapt to the steam state in the cooking cavity. This ensures that the steam condensation process does not affect the boiling effect, ensuring that enough aroma is generated. At the same time, condensation reduces the loss of aroma substances with water vapor, thereby effectively enhancing the aroma of food cooked by the cooking appliance.

[0069] This application provides a cooking appliance. In this embodiment, the cooking appliance is a rice cooker. In other embodiments, the cooking appliance may also be an appliance with multi-functional cooking capabilities or an appliance designed to cook other ingredients.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 The cover 500 includes a seat plate 51. When the cover 500 is closed on the cooking cavity 601, the cooling component 200 and the cooking cavity 601 are located on opposite sides of the seat plate 51.

In this embodiment, the top of the protrusion 511 is provided with a pointed part, for example, the top of the protrusion 511 is a conical structure. Based on this, it is beneficial for condensate to collect on the top of the protrusion 511 and drip back onto the cooked food, reducing the loss of food aroma evaporation. The area occupied by the texture structure formed by the multiple protrusions 511 on the seat plate 51 is greater than or equal to 25% of the total area of ​​the seat plate 51 in contact with the cooking cavity 601.

The water-cooled component may include the aforementioned cooling cavity 21 and a water supply device corresponding to the cooling cavity 21. The water supply device is connected to the water inlet of the cooling cavity 21 and can deliver water from the water tank of the cooking appliance or water from outside the cooking appliance into the cooling cavity 21 to cool the cover 500 before draining it back into the water tank or outside the cooking appliance.

The detachable cover plate 53 is provided with a clearance opening so that the seat plate 51 can contact the cooking cavity 601 when the cover 500 is closed on the cooking cavity 601.

[0079] When the cover 500 is closed on the cooking cavity 601, the total contact area between the seat plate 51 and the cooking cavity 601 is greater than or equal to 10,000 square millimeters, which helps to ensure the condensation effect of steam on the seat plate 51.

[0082] The heating component 400 may include a heating wire or a heating tube, etc.

[0083] The heating element 400 is set to turn on during the rice cooking stage and / or the keep-warm stage.

[0094] The cooking appliance provided in this application, using the control method of the cooking appliance in the following embodiments, can solve the technical problem of how to enhance the aroma of cooked food. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the cooking appliance provided in this application are the same as the beneficial effects of the control method of the cooking appliance provided in the following embodiments, and other technical features of the cooking appliance are the same as those disclosed in the method of the following embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0095] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or cooking appliance capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a cooking appliance as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0096] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a method for controlling a cooking appliance, referring to... Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the control method for cooking appliances according to this application.

[0097] In this embodiment, the control method of the cooking appliance includes steps S10 to S20:

[0098] Step S10: Obtain cooking state parameters, which represent the steam state inside the cooking chamber;

[0099] In this embodiment, step S10 is performed with the lid covering the cooking cavity and the pot being heated (the heating device is turned on). In this embodiment, the food loaded in the pot is rice. In other embodiments, the food loaded in the pot may be other foods, such as red beans.

[0100] Cooking status parameters can be detected by the detection module inside the cooking appliance and / or obtained by acquiring the control parameters of the cooking appliance.

[0101] The cooking status parameters, representing the steam state, may include the presence and / or quantity of steam and / or the condensation state of the steam, etc. Cooking status parameters may include at least one of the following: cooking stage, heating time of the pot body, temperature indicating the condensation state of steam within the cooking cavity (temperature of the condensing structure and / or steam temperature, etc.), on / off status parameters of the cooling components (whether it is on and / or the on / off duration when on and / or the off / off duration, etc.), on / off status parameters of the heating device (whether it is on and / or the on / off duration when on and / or the off / off duration, etc.), temperature status parameters of the pot body, cooking instructions, cooking mode, etc.

[0102] The cooking state parameters may differ depending on the cooking stage of the cooking appliance (divided based on cooking time and / or the heating power of the heating device, etc.). And / or, the cooking state parameters may differ depending on the on / off state of the cooling components. Therefore, cooking state parameters can be obtained based on the cooking stage of the cooking appliance and / or the on / off state of the cooling components.

[0103] During the cooking status parameter detection process, the cooling components can be in an on or off state.

[0104] When the heating component described above is installed, the heating component can be in an on or off state during the cooking status parameter detection process.

[0105] Step S20: Control the operation of the cooling component according to the cooking state parameters.

[0106] The cooling components are controlled to turn on or off, or to increase operating power or decrease operating frequency based on the cooking status parameters.

[0107] When the cooling component is off, the cooling component can be turned on if the cooking status parameters meet the cooling start conditions.

[0108] When the cooling component is on, it can be turned off if the cooking status parameters meet the cooling end condition; if the cooking status parameters do not meet the cooling end condition, the operating power of the cooling component can be adjusted according to the cooking status parameters.

[0109] When the cooling system includes an air-cooled component, the fan can be turned on or off, or its operating speed can be adjusted, based on the cooking status parameters. When the cooling system includes a water-cooled component, the water supply device can be turned on or off, or the water flow rate can be adjusted, based on the cooking status parameters.

[0110] The cooling component can reduce the temperature of the lid when it is turned on. When the steam in the cooking cavity comes into contact with the cooler lid, it condenses on the lid. The condensation of the steam can reduce the air pressure in the cooking cavity and reduce the evaporation of the aroma of the food with the steam.

[0111] In this embodiment, the steam inside the cooking chamber stops being discharged to the outside of the cooking appliance during the operation of the cooling component.

[0112] This embodiment provides a control method for a cooking appliance. The cooling component is controlled according to cooking state parameters to ensure that the timing or efficiency of steam condensation on the lid during cooking can be precisely controlled to adapt to the steam state in the cooking chamber. This ensures that the steam condensation process does not affect the boiling effect, ensuring that enough aroma is produced. At the same time, condensation reduces the loss of aroma substances with water vapor, thereby effectively enhancing the aroma of food cooked by the cooking appliance.

[0113] In one feasible implementation, when the cooling assembly is in the off state, the cooking state parameters include a first temperature and / or the heating time of the pot body, wherein the first temperature is a temperature representing the steam state inside the cooking cavity. Step S20 includes:

[0114] When the heating duration and / or the first temperature meet the cooling start-up conditions, the cooling component is controlled to turn on.

[0115] The heating time of the pot body, from the start of heating to the current moment, can be the duration of operation of the aforementioned heating device. In the initial stage after the cooking appliance starts heating, the temperature inside the cooking cavity gradually increases with the increase of the heating time.

[0116] The first temperature may include the steam temperature within the cooking cavity and / or the temperature of the condensation structure, wherein the condensation structure is a structure on the cover located between the cooling assembly and the cooking cavity, specifically a structure located between the cooling cavity and the cooking cavity, which can serve as a carrier for steam condensation. In this embodiment, the first temperature can be detected by the aforementioned temperature sensor.

[0117] Cooling start-up conditions indicate a state where steam is generated or about to be generated within the cooking cavity. In this embodiment, cooling start-up conditions include at least one of the following:

[0118] Condition 1: The heating time is greater than or equal to the first preset time, where the first preset time is the heating time required for the cooking appliance to enter the boiling state.

[0119] Condition 2: The heating time is greater than or equal to the second preset time, and the second preset time is less than the first preset time;

[0120] Condition 3: The first temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature.

[0121] Regarding condition 1, the first preset time is the minimum heating time required for the cooking appliance to reach the boiling state. The first preset time can be a fixed, pre-set time, or a time determined based on the actual operating state of the cooking appliance, such as the current cooking mode and / or the ambient temperature of the environment where the appliance is located. If the heating time has not reached the first preset time, the cooking appliance is considered to be in the pre-boiling heating stage; if the heating time reaches the first preset time, the cooking appliance is considered to have entered the boiling stage, and the food being cooked in the pot begins to boil.

[0122] Regarding condition 2, the cooling device is activated before the cooking appliance boils, after it has been heated for a period of time, which helps to remove any stale odor from the cooking cavity. Specifically, if the heating time is less than the first preset time, the gas inside the cooking cavity is released to the external environment of the cooking appliance.

[0123] Regarding condition 3, the first preset temperature varies depending on the location of the first temperature detection. The first preset temperature corresponding to the condensation structure temperature is lower than the first preset temperature corresponding to the steam temperature. The first preset temperature represents the minimum temperature that the cooking appliance needs to reach when it is about to enter the boiling stage or enters the boiling stage. The first preset temperature can be a pre-set fixed temperature, or it can be determined according to the actual situation of the cooking appliance, such as based on the current heating power of the heating device and / or the operating status of the heating components.

[0124] In this embodiment, the first temperature and / or heating duration accurately characterize the steam state within the cooking cavity. Therefore, when the first temperature and / or heating duration meet the cooling start-up conditions, the cooling component is activated. This ensures that the cooling component only activates when steam is about to appear or has already appeared within the cooking cavity, thus guaranteeing cooking efficiency while enhancing the aroma of the food. Specifically, at least one of conditions 1, 2, and 3 accurately indicates whether the cooking appliance has entered or is about to enter the boiling stage. During the boiling stage, a large amount of steam and aroma compounds are generated. Activating the cooling component at this time for condensation helps reduce the loss of aroma compounds with steam diffusion, effectively enhancing the aroma of cooked rice and other foods.

[0125] In other embodiments, the predicted time when the cooking appliance begins to boil can be determined based on the first temperature, and the duration between the predicted time and the start time of heating can be determined as the target duration. When the heating duration is greater than or equal to the target duration, the cooling component is controlled to turn on.

[0126] In other embodiments, the cooling components can also be turned on when a user cooling command is received.

[0127] In other embodiments, the cooling components may be activated when the cooking appliance enters the boiling stage.

[0128] In one feasible implementation, when the cooling component is in the on state, the cooking state parameters include the on-time of the cooling component and / or the temperature of the pot body, and the step of controlling the operation of the cooling component according to the cooking state parameters includes:

[0129] If the opening duration and / or the temperature of the pot body meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the cooling component is controlled to shut off; or,

[0130] If the opening duration and / or the temperature of the pot body meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the cooling component is controlled to remain on for a fourth preset duration before being shut down.

[0131] The activation duration is the time between the start time of the cooling component and the current time. The start time can be the time when the cooling component is triggered to start when the above-mentioned cooling start conditions are met.

[0132] The temperature of the pot body is the temperature of the bottom of the pot body, which can be detected by the temperature detection module mentioned above.

[0133] In this embodiment, the cooling shut-off condition indicates that the amount of steam in the cooking cavity is less than a set amount or that steam generation stops. For example, the cooling shut-off condition indicates that the heating power of the heating device is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the amount of steam.

[0134] In this embodiment, the cooling shutdown condition includes at least one of the following:

[0135] Condition 4: The activation duration is greater than or equal to the fourth preset duration;

[0136] Condition 5: The temperature of the pot body is greater than or equal to the preset pot body temperature.

[0137] Regarding condition 4, the fourth preset duration can be a fixed, pre-set duration, or it can be a duration determined based on the actual state of the cooking appliance. For example, it can be determined based on the amount of rice and water before cooking and / or the heating power of the heating device and / or the operating status of the heating components during the heating process. If the activation duration is greater than or equal to the fourth preset duration, it indicates that the amount of steam in the cooking cavity is less than the set amount.

[0138] Regarding condition 5, the preset pot temperature can be a fixed temperature set in advance, or it can be determined according to the actual state of the cooking appliance. For example, it can be determined according to the cooking stage the appliance enters after the boiling stage. For instance, the keep-warm stage and the rice-simmering stage can each correspond to different preset pot temperatures. The preset pot temperature is higher than the first preset temperature mentioned above.

[0139] In this embodiment, the cooking process of rice by the cooking appliance sequentially goes through a heating stage, a boiling stage, a simmering stage, and a heat preservation stage. The cooling shut-off condition indicates that the cooking appliance has entered the simmering stage. In this embodiment, when the cooking time and / or the temperature of the pot meet the cooling shut-off condition, the cooking appliance enters the simmering stage. During the simmering stage, the heating power of the heating device is lower than that during the boiling stage, resulting in a reduction in the amount of steam generated by the food. Because there is no free water covering the pot, the temperature of the pot will rise sharply.

[0140] In this embodiment, the amount of steam in the pot can be accurately reflected by the opening duration of the cooling component and / or the temperature of the pot body. Therefore, by controlling the opening duration and / or the temperature of the pot body, the cooling component can be turned off immediately or delayed when the amount of steam is low, which can avoid the condensation caused by excessive condensation from affecting the cooking quality of the food (e.g., avoiding the phenomenon of white dripping from rice), thereby improving the aroma of the cooked food and improving the cooking quality of the food.

[0141] In other embodiments, the cooling components are controlled to shut down upon receiving a cooling stop command.

[0142] In other embodiments, a pot body temperature threshold is determined based on the on-time of the cooling component, and the cooling component is controlled to turn off when the pot body temperature is greater than or equal to the pot body temperature threshold.

[0143] For example, to help understand the implementation flow of the control method for cooking appliances obtained by combining the above-mentioned opening and closing control methods of the cooling component in the cooking process, combined with... Figure 7 This embodiment provides an application example of the control method for cooking appliances in the cooking process, which may include the following steps:

[0144] Step S100: Control the heating device to turn on to heat the pot body;

[0145] Step S200: Obtain the first temperature and / or the heating time of the pot body. If the first temperature and / or the heating time of the pot body meets the cooling start-up conditions, control the cooling component to start.

[0146] Step S300: Obtain the on-time of the cooling component and / or the temperature of the pot body. If the on-time and / or the temperature of the pot body meet the cooling shutdown conditions, control the cooling component to shut down, or control the cooling component to remain on for a third preset time before shutting down.

[0147] Based on this, the cooling components can be turned on and off according to the steam state in the cooking chamber during the cooking process, ensuring that the steam condensation effect is precisely matched with the actual steam state in the cooking chamber, thereby further improving the aroma and cooking quality of the ingredients.

[0148] Based on any of the above embodiments, in the second embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. In addition, after the step of controlling the cooling component to turn on, the method further includes:

[0149] The cooling component is controlled to operate according to the current condensation temperature so that the steam condensation temperature in the cooking chamber is within a preset temperature range, wherein the current condensation temperature represents the current condensation state of the steam in the cooking chamber.

[0150] In this embodiment, the current condensation temperature includes the current steam temperature inside the cooking cavity and / or the temperature of the current condensation structure in the lid, wherein the condensation structure is the structure in the lid located between the cooling assembly and the cooking cavity. The current condensation temperature can be detected by the aforementioned temperature sensor.

[0151] In this embodiment, after the first temperature meets the above condition 3 and the cooling component is turned on, the step of controlling the operation of the cooling component according to the current condensation temperature is performed so that the steam condensation temperature in the cooking cavity is within the preset temperature range.

[0152] The preset temperature range is a pre-defined temperature range for enhancing food aroma. This range has an upper and lower limit, for example, a lower limit of 70℃ and an upper limit of 99℃. The steam condensation temperature is the saturation temperature at which steam condenses into a liquid under a certain pressure. Excessively high steam condensation temperatures reduce condensation efficiency and aroma coverage, while excessively low temperatures cause small-molecule aroma compounds released from the food to be condensed simultaneously, leading to a decrease in the proportion of large-molecule aroma compounds and weakening the aroma concentration.

[0153] In this embodiment, the cooling component can be turned on or off, or its operating power adjusted, based on the current condensation temperature. Specifically, when the current condensation temperature includes either the steam temperature or the temperature of the condensing structure, the cooling component can be turned on or off, or its operating power adjusted, based on the temperature range in which either the steam temperature or the condensing structure temperature falls. When the current condensation temperature includes both the steam temperature and the temperature of the condensing structure, the cooling component can be turned on or off, or its operating power adjusted, based on the temperature difference between the steam temperature and the condensing structure temperature; alternatively, the cooling component can be turned on or off, or its operating power adjusted, based on the respective temperature ranges in which the steam temperature and the condensing structure temperature fall; or, a characteristic temperature representing the steam condensation state can be calculated based on the condensing structure temperature and the steam temperature, and the cooling component can be turned on or off, or its operating power adjusted, based on this characteristic temperature.

[0154] In this embodiment, the cooling component can be controlled to increase or decrease power, or be turned off or kept on, depending on the current condensation temperature. Alternatively, the target power of the cooling component can be determined based on the current condensation temperature, and the cooling component can be controlled to operate at the target power.

[0155] In this embodiment, after the cooling component is turned on, the operation of the cooling component is controlled based on the current condensation temperature, which helps to avoid the steam condensation temperature being too high or too low, thereby further enhancing the aroma of the food.

[0156] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the operation of the cooling component according to the current condensation temperature to keep the steam condensation temperature in the cooking cavity within a preset temperature range includes:

[0157] When the current condensation temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the cooling component is controlled to shut down or reduce its power.

[0158] In this embodiment, the step of controlling the cooling component to turn on includes controlling the cooling component to turn on at a first power. When controlling the cooling component to reduce its power, the cooling component can be controlled to operate at a second power, which is less than the first power. The first power and the second power can be preset fixed power, or power determined according to the actual situation of the cooking appliance. For example, the first power can be determined based on the temperature difference between a first temperature and a first preset temperature, and the second power can be determined based on the temperature difference between the current condensation temperature and a second preset temperature.

[0159] If the temperature indicating the current condensation state of the steam is less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the temperature difference between the second preset temperature and the current condensation temperature can be determined. If the temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the cooling component is controlled to shut down; if the temperature difference is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the cooling component is controlled to reduce its power.

[0160] When the current condensation temperature is higher than the second preset temperature, the cooling components can be controlled to maintain the current power.

[0161] In this embodiment, the above method helps to avoid the steam condensation temperature being too low after the cooling component is turned on, ensuring that the steam condensation temperature is within the preset temperature range, which is conducive to effectively enhancing the aroma of food.

[0162] In one feasible implementation, after the step of controlling the cooling component to shut down or reduce power, the method further includes:

[0163] When the current condensation temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature, the cooling component is controlled to turn on or increase its power; wherein the third preset temperature is less than or equal to the upper limit temperature of the preset temperature range.

[0164] In this embodiment, when the cooling component is in the off state, the cooling component is controlled to turn on if the current condensation temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature; when the cooling component is in the on state, the cooling component is controlled to increase its power if the current condensation temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature.

[0165] The cooling component can be increased to the first power mentioned above, or the third power can be determined based on the temperature indicating the current condensation state of the steam and the third preset temperature, and the cooling component can be controlled to operate at the third power.

[0166] When the current condensation temperature is less than or equal to the third preset temperature, the cooling component can be controlled to maintain its current state, that is, when the cooling component is in the off state, it remains off, and when the cooling component is in the on state, it maintains the current power operation.

[0167] In this embodiment, the above method helps to avoid excessively high steam condensation temperature after the cooling component is turned off or its power is reduced, ensuring that the steam condensation temperature is within the preset temperature range, which is conducive to effectively enhancing the aroma of food.

[0168] For example, in order to help understand the implementation flow of the cooking appliance control method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above embodiment one, combined with Figure 8 Another application example of the control method for cooking appliances described in this application in the cooking process is provided:

[0169] The steps for controlling the activation of the cooling component described above include:

[0170] Step S201: Control the cooling component to turn on at a first power;

[0171] Following step S201, the following is also included:

[0172] Step S202: Obtain the current condensation temperature as the first state temperature;

[0173] Step S203: Determine whether the temperature of the first state is less than or equal to the second preset temperature;

[0174] If the first state temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature, proceed to step S204; if the first state temperature is greater than the second preset temperature, return to proceed to step S201.

[0175] Step S204: Control the cooling component to shut down or reduce its power;

[0176] Following step S204, the following is also included:

[0177] Step S205: Obtain the current condensation temperature as the second state temperature;

[0178] Step S206: Determine whether the second state temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature;

[0179] If the second state temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature, return to step S201; if the second state temperature is less than the third preset temperature, execute step S207 and then return to step S205.

[0180] Step S207: Control the cooling components to maintain the current state.

[0181] Both the second and third preset temperatures are lower than the preset pot body temperature.

[0182] Specifically, during the process of controlling the operation of the cooling component according to the current condensation temperature (that is, after step S201 and before step S202, or after step S207, or during the execution of step S202 to step S207), if it is detected that the on-time of the cooling component and / or the temperature of the pot body meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the cooling component is controlled to shut down or the cooling component is controlled to remain on for a third preset time before shutting down, that is, the operation of the cooling component is stopped according to the current condensation temperature.

[0183] Based on this, the cooling components can be turned on in the above manner to ensure that the steam condensation temperature is not too high or too low, and can be maintained within the preset temperature range, thereby effectively enhancing the aroma of food.

[0184] Based on any of the above embodiments, in the third embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. On this basis, combined with Figure 9 The cover is also provided with a heating component. After the step of controlling the operation of the cooling component according to the cooking state parameters, the method further includes:

[0185] Step S30: With the cooling component in the off state, control the heating component to operate.

[0186] The heating element can operate at a preset fixed heating power during operation, or the heating power can be adjusted according to the actual operating conditions of the cooking appliance.

[0187] During the simmering stage, the heating element is activated to increase the temperature of the upper part of the cooking cavity, thereby improving the simmering effect. During the heating and boiling stages, the heating element is deactivated.

[0188] In this embodiment, the heating component is heated while the cooling component is off, which helps to achieve the effects of reheating food and enhancing aroma at high temperatures, while reducing condensation to avoid affecting the cooking quality of food (e.g., avoiding the phenomenon of white dripping from rice).

[0189] In one feasible implementation, prior to the step of controlling the heating assembly to operate, the method further includes:

[0190] When the cooling component is turned off, the heating component is controlled to start heating; or, when the cooling component has been off for a fifth preset duration, the heating component is controlled to start heating.

[0191] In one implementation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, the cooking state parameters include the heating duration and / or the first temperature. When the heating duration and / or the first temperature meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the cooling component can be controlled to shut down and the heating component can be controlled to start heating.

[0192] In another implementation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, the cooking state parameters include the heating duration and / or the first temperature. When the heating duration and / or the first temperature meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the cooling component can be controlled to shut down. When the cooling component is shut down for a period of time that reaches a fifth preset duration, the heating component is controlled to start heating.

[0193] Based on this, the heating and cooling components on the cover can operate in shifts, which helps to improve heating efficiency and steam condensation efficiency.

[0194] In another feasible implementation, prior to the step of controlling the heating assembly to operate, the method further includes:

[0195] When the cooking state parameters meet the cooling shutdown condition, the heating component is controlled to start heating and the cooling component is controlled to remain on for a sixth preset time before shutting off.

[0196] When the cooling component is on and the cooking status parameters meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the heating component is controlled to start heating and the cooling component is controlled to remain on. The cooling component is controlled to shut off when the cooling component remains on for a sixth preset duration.

[0197] In one implementation, in conjunction with the above embodiments, the cooking state parameters include the heating time and / or the first temperature. Here, the sixth preset time is the same concept as the fourth preset time. When the heating time and / or the first temperature meet the cooling shutdown conditions, the heating component can be controlled to start heating and the cooling component can be controlled to remain on for the sixth preset time before shutting down.

[0198] In this embodiment, by means of the above method, the cooling component is delayed in closing, and the heating component and the cooling component can work simultaneously in a short period of time. This is beneficial to improve the uniformity of heating of the cover by the fluid flow during the cooling process of the cooling component. In particular, when the heating component is located in the cooling cavity, it is beneficial to further improve the uniformity of heating of the cover.

[0199] In one feasible implementation, prior to the step of controlling the heating component to operate, the method further includes: acquiring a second temperature representing the condensation state of steam within the cooking cavity while the cooling component is in a closed state. The step of controlling the heating component to operate includes: controlling the heating component to operate based on the second temperature.

[0200] The second temperature may include the temperature of the condensation structure and / or the steam temperature, and the second temperature can be detected by the temperature sensor described above.

[0201] The heating element is turned off, its heating power is increased, or its heating power is decreased based on the second temperature control.

[0202] In this embodiment, the operation of the second temperature-controlled heating component is adapted to match the heating amount of the heating component with the steam condensation state in the cooking cavity, so as to effectively improve the aroma and quality of the cooked food.

[0203] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the heating component to operate according to the second temperature includes: when the second temperature is greater than or equal to a fourth preset temperature, controlling the heating component to operate at reduced power.

[0204] The fourth preset temperature indicates the minimum temperature required to be reached when the amount of condensate in the cooking cavity is less than the set amount. The fourth preset temperature is greater than the first, second, and third preset temperatures mentioned above. For example, if the first, second, and third preset temperatures are less than or equal to the boiling temperature of the food, the fourth preset temperature is greater than the boiling temperature of the food.

[0205] In this embodiment, a second temperature greater than or equal to a fourth preset temperature indicates that the condensate in the cooking cavity has been basically evaporated, thus reducing the heat required for the lid to heat up. At this time, the heating component reduces the heating power, which helps to avoid the lid temperature being too high and affecting the cooking quality of the food (such as the rice surface turning yellow). Based on this, it is beneficial to further improve the aroma of the food and improve the cooking quality of the food.

[0206] It should be noted that the above examples are only for understanding this application and do not constitute a limitation on the control method of the cooking utensil of this application.
