[0007] In response to a detected cooking command, the cooking device is controlled to enter a cooking mode corresponding to the working state; wherein, the cooking mode includes a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the cooking working parameters of the cooking device are adjusted according to the boiling parameters of the material in the cavity detected by the radar detector; the second mode detects the boiling parameters of the material in a different way than the first mode.

[0008] In the above scheme, the operating state includes a first state used to indicate the fault diagnosis of the transmitting and receiving circuits of the radar detector.

[0020] The second detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the second electrical signal within the second duration is less than or equal to the second threshold. The second state indicates that the detection function of the radar detector has failed. The second duration is the time from the moment when it is determined that the transmitting and receiving circuit has not failed to the moment when the cooking command is detected.

[0021] In the above scheme, after generating the second state based on the second detection result, the method further includes:

[0022] In response to a first state indicating a fault in the transmitting and receiving circuits or a second state indicating a fault in the detection function of the radar detector, the radar detector is continuously controlled to perform a power-on self-test for a set period of time to obtain a third state before the temperature at the bottom of the cavity reaches the temperature threshold; the working state includes the third state.

[0023] In the above scheme, in response to the detected cooking command, the cooking device is controlled to enter a cooking mode corresponding to the working state, including:

[0024] In response to a detected cooking command, when the third state indicates that the bottom temperature reaches a temperature threshold, the radar detector fails a power-on self-test, controlling the cooking device to enter the second mode; or...

[0025] In response to the detected cooking command, before the third state indicates that the bottom temperature has reached the temperature threshold, the radar detector performs a power-on self-test and passes, and the radar detector's detection function has not malfunctioned, and controls the cooking device to enter the first mode.

[0026] A cooking device includes a radar detector and a cavity, the radar detector being disposed on the upper cover of the cooking device, and the cooking device further includes:

[0027] The controller is used to acquire the working status of the radar detector; in response to the detected cooking command, it controls the cooking equipment to enter the cooking mode corresponding to the working status; wherein, the cooking mode includes a first mode or a second mode, in which the cooking working parameters of the cooking equipment are adjusted according to the boiling parameters of the material in the cavity detected by the radar detector; the second mode detects the boiling parameters of the material in a different way than the first mode.

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] In the following description, references are made to “some embodiments,” which describe a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0042] The terms "first / second / third" used in this application are merely to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first / second / third" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0044] Currently, radar detectors are used to detect the boiling state during the cooking process. If the radar detector is damaged, the boiling state will not be detected. If the heater of the cooking equipment continues to heat, the cooking process will result in overflow or the bottom turning yellow due to overheating.

[0045] Embodiments of this application provide a control method for a cooking device, the cooking device including a radar detector and a cavity, referencing... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S101: Obtain the working status of the radar detector.

[0047] In practical applications, the operating status of a radar detector includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the operating status of the radar detector hardware and the operating status of the radar detector's detection function (the operating status of the radar detector's software). Operating status includes, but is not limited to, whether a malfunction has occurred.

[0048] In practical applications, the execution entity in this embodiment can be a cooking device, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. Typically, the operation of each component in the cooking device can be driven by a core controller / processor; therefore, the execution entity in this embodiment can also be the controller / processor within the cooking device.

[0049] In practical applications, cooking equipment can include, but is not limited to, rice cookers, pressure cookers, slow cookers, and steamers. This application uses a rice cooker as an example. The rice cooker's lid can be equipped with a steam vent, which allows steam to escape when the contents (e.g., a rice-water mixture) boil.

[0050] Step S102: In response to the detected cooking command, control the cooking device to enter the cooking mode corresponding to the working state; wherein, the cooking mode includes a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the cooking working parameters of the cooking device are adjusted according to the boiling parameters of the material in the cavity detected by the radar detector; the second mode detects the boiling parameters of the material in a different way than the first mode.

[0051] In practical applications, cooking commands can be generated by user button presses (e.g., the start cooking button) or by user voice triggering; this application does not specifically limit this. In response to the detected cooking command, the cooking device enters a first mode when the operating state characterization radar detector is functioning correctly, and enters a second mode when the operating state characterization radar detector malfunctions.

[0052] In practical applications, in the first mode, a radar detector analyzes the reflected high-frequency electromagnetic waves based on the reflection and scattering characteristics of radar waves to determine the boiling state of the material (e.g., a rice-water mixture) and obtain boiling parameters. Furthermore, the cooking parameters of the cooking equipment are flexibly adjusted based on these boiling parameters to complete the cooking process.

[0053] In practical applications, the second mode detects the boiling parameters of the material in a different way than the first mode. In the second mode, the boiling parameters of the material can be detected by at least one of the following devices: temperature sensor, vibration sensor, and camera. This application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0054] This application provides a control method for a cooking device, which includes a radar detector and a cavity. The method includes: acquiring the operating state of the radar detector; and, in response to a detected cooking command, controlling the cooking device to enter a cooking mode corresponding to the operating state. The cooking mode includes a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the cooking parameters of the cooking device are adjusted according to the boiling parameters of the material contained in the cavity detected by the radar detector. The second mode detects the boiling parameters of the material in a different way than the first mode. In other words, this application determines the operating state of the radar detector before cooking and switches the corresponding cooking mode based on the determination result during cooking. This allows for adjustments to the cooking control logic during cooking to ensure the normal operation of the cooking device, avoid abnormal situations during the entire cooking process, and improve the control precision of the cooking device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the operating state includes a first state indicating a fault diagnosis of the transmitting and receiving circuits of the radar detector.

[0056] Specifically, the radar detector can be installed on the top cover of the cooking equipment, or on other parts of the cooking equipment other than the top cover; this application does not make any specific limitation in this regard.

[0057] In practical applications, this application allows the radar detector to be mounted on the top cover of the cooking equipment, for example, above the inner cover, perpendicular to it. The radar detector can detect fluctuations or distances in both the forward and reverse directions of the inner cover. The operating status of the radar detector hardware includes the operating status of its transmitting and receiving circuits. This application determines the operating status of the radar detector's transmitting and receiving circuits before cooking, and switches the corresponding cooking mode based on the determination result during cooking. This allows for adjustments to the cooking control logic during cooking to ensure the normal operation of the cooking equipment, avoid abnormal situations during the entire cooking process, and improve the control precision of the cooking equipment.

[0058] In practical applications, the radar detector and steam vent can be installed on the top cover of the cooking equipment. The radar detector can be positioned near the steam vent to facilitate the detection of steam frequency and achieve precise control of the cooking process. The radar detector may include a radar sensor.

[0059] In some embodiments, step S101, which obtains the operating status of the radar detector, can be achieved by the following steps: in response to a power-on command, controlling the transmitting and receiving circuits to send a first electrical signal;

[0060] The control board that controls the cooking equipment detects the first electrical signal and obtains the first detection result.

[0061] A first state is generated based on the first detection result; wherein, the working state includes the first state.

[0062] In practical applications, this application can obtain the operating status of the radar detector's transmitting and receiving circuits during the power-on pre-detection phase. The electrical signals transmitted by the radar detector's transmitting and receiving circuits include, but are not limited to, high and low levels, sine waves, and sawtooth waves. Taking high and low levels as an example, when fluctuations or distance changes occur, the radar detector's transmitting and receiving circuits can output a high-level signal to the control board; the greater the change, the longer the high-level signal is output after detection. This application can select the corresponding cooking mode based on the first state obtained during the power-on pre-detection phase, thereby adjusting the cooking control logic during cooking to ensure the normal operation of the cooking equipment.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the first electrical signal within a first time period is greater than a first threshold, and the first state indicates that no fault has occurred in the transmitting and receiving circuits; or,

[0064] The first detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the first electrical signal within a first time period is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the first state indicates that the transmitting and receiving circuits have malfunctioned.

[0065] In practical applications, the first duration can be a short period after power-on, such as within 2 seconds. This application determines whether the hardware module of the radar detector has malfunctioned after power-on, and this determination is controlled within the first duration to quickly complete the power-on pre-detection. If the first detection result indicates that the control board detects the first electrical signal more than a first threshold within the first duration, and the first state indicates that the transmitting and receiving circuits are not malfunctioning, then the cooking device is controlled to enter the first mode. If the first detection result indicates that the control board detects the first electrical signal less than or equal to the first threshold within the first duration, and the first state indicates that the transmitting and receiving circuits have malfunctioned, then the cooking device is controlled to enter the second mode.

[0066] In some embodiments, the operating state includes a second state for indicating fault diagnosis of the radar detector's detection function. After generating the first state based on the first detection result, the following steps may also be performed:

[0067] In response to the first state indicating that the transmitting and receiving circuits have not malfunctioned, the transmitting and receiving circuits are controlled to send a second electrical signal;

[0068] The control board detects the second electrical signal and obtains the second detection result.

[0069] A second state is generated based on the second detection result; the working state includes the second state.

[0070] In practical applications, this application can perform pre-cooking detection after the power-on pre-detection stage to obtain the working status of the radar detector's detection function. The electrical signals transmitted by the radar detector's transmitting and receiving circuits include, but are not limited to, high and low levels, sine waves, and sawtooth waves. Here, we take high and low levels as an example. If the hardware circuit is detected to be normal during the power-on pre-detection stage, the radar detector can normally detect fluctuations and output high and low levels. At this time, the control board normally detects high and low levels and generates the working status of the radar detector's detection function based on the detection results.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the second electrical signal within a second time period is greater than a second threshold, and the second state indicates that the detection function of the radar detector has not malfunctioned; or,

[0072] The second detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the second electrical signal within the second duration is less than or equal to the second threshold. The second state indicates that the detection function of the radar detector has failed. The second duration is the time from the moment when it is determined that the transmitting and receiving circuit has not failed to the moment when the cooking command is detected.

[0073] In practical applications, the second duration is a period of time before cooking, such as the time from when it is determined that the transmitting and receiving circuits are not malfunctioning to the time when the cooking command is detected. When the first state indicates that the transmitting and receiving circuits are not malfunctioning, the second detection result indicates that the control board detects the second electrical signal more than a second threshold within the second duration, and the second state indicates that the radar detector's detection function is not malfunctioning, then the cooking device is controlled to enter the first mode. When the first state indicates that the transmitting and receiving circuits are not malfunctioning, the second detection result indicates that the control board detects the second electrical signal less than or equal to the second threshold within the second duration, and the second state indicates that the radar detector's detection function is malfunctioning, then the cooking device is controlled to enter the second mode.

[0074] In some embodiments, after generating the second state based on the second detection result, the following steps may also be performed:

[0075] In response to a first state indicating a fault in the transmitting and receiving circuits or a second state indicating a fault in the detection function of the radar detector, the radar detector is continuously controlled to perform a power-on self-test for a set period of time to obtain a third state before the temperature at the bottom of the cavity reaches the temperature threshold; the working state includes the third state.

[0076] In practical applications, this application can execute the post-cooking detection and control logic after sequentially performing the power-on pre-detection stage and the pre-cooking detection. If both the power-on pre-detection and the pre-cooking detection are normal after cooking begins, the boiling scheme is detected by the radar detector according to normal logic for program control. If it is determined in the early stage that the transmitting and receiving circuit or the detection function has failed, the radar detector is continuously controlled to perform a power-on self-test at a set time interval to determine whether the self-test detection communication has failed before the temperature at the bottom of the cavity reaches the temperature threshold, so as to obtain the third state.

[0077] In some embodiments, step S102, in response to a detected cooking command, controls the cooking device to enter a cooking mode corresponding to its operating state, including:

[0078] In response to a detected cooking command, when the third state indicates that the bottom temperature reaches a temperature threshold, the radar detector fails a power-on self-test, controlling the cooking device to enter the second mode; or...

[0079] In response to the detected cooking command, before the third state indicates that the bottom temperature has reached the temperature threshold, the radar detector performs a power-on self-test and passes, and the radar detector's detection function has not malfunctioned, and controls the cooking device to enter the first mode.

[0080] In practical applications, if the transmitting and receiving circuits malfunction or the radar detector malfunctions, when cooking is started, if the bottom heater continues to heat to a temperature greater than the bottom threshold (e.g., 80°C), the radar detector fails the power-on self-test, meaning it does not detect a normal signal. In this case, the cooking device is controlled to enter the second mode, and the subsequent cooking process continues according to the no-top radar sensor scheme until cooking is finished.

[0081] In practical applications, if the transmitting and receiving circuits malfunction or the radar detector's detection function malfunctions, when cooking is started, before the bottom temperature reaches the temperature threshold (e.g., 80°C), the radar detector performs a power-on self-test and passes. If the radar detector's detection function does not malfunction, the cooking device is controlled to enter the first mode. The cooking parameters of the cooking device are adjusted according to the boiling parameters of the material in the cavity detected by the radar detector until cooking is completed.

[0082] The control method for cooking equipment provided in this application is a detection method for detecting whether a radar detector is abnormal. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, the control method for the cooking equipment provided in this application includes the following steps:

[0083] Step S201: Power on the cooking equipment.

[0084] Step S202: The cooking equipment performs a power-on pre-test.

[0085] Step S203: The cooking equipment performs a pre-cooking test.

[0086] Step S204: The cooking equipment executes the post-cooking detection and control logic.

[0087] Step S205: Cooking complete.

[0088] This application achieves a control effect that prevents abnormal situations from occurring throughout the entire cooking process by using methods such as power-on pre-detection, pre-cooking detection, and post-cooking detection and adjustment of control logic.

[0089] In a feasible scenario, see Figure 3 As shown, the power-on pre-detection steps can be implemented through the following process:

[0090] Step S301: Start the power-on timing ONTest and increment it in 1-second increments.

[0091] Step S302: The radar detector forcibly outputs high and low level signals with a period of 20ms.

[0092] Step S303: The control board detects and counts high and low levels with a period of 10ms.

[0093] Step S304: Determine whether the number of high and low level cycles is greater than 30. If yes, proceed to step S305; otherwise, proceed to step S306.

[0094] Step S305: Determine that the radar detector hardware circuit has not malfunctioned.

[0095] Step S306: Check if the ONTest count value is greater than 2s. If yes, proceed to step S307; otherwise, proceed to step S301.

[0096] Step S307: Determine that the radar detector hardware circuit has malfunctioned.

[0097] In this embodiment, within 2 seconds after power-on, the radar detector continuously sends high and low level signals at a period of 20ms, for a total of 100 times. At the same time, the control board detects and counts the high and low level signals emitted by the radar detector at a unit of 10ms. If the number of high and low level signals detected after 2 seconds is greater than 30s or the set value, the radar detector's transmitting and receiving circuits are considered to be normal; otherwise, it is considered abnormal.

[0098] In a feasible scenario, see Figure 4 As shown, the pre-cooking testing steps can be implemented through the following process:

[0099] Step S401: The transmitting and receiving circuits of the radar detector are not faulty.

[0100] Step S402: The radar detector normally detects fluctuations and outputs high and low levels, and the control board normally detects high and low level signals with a period of 100ms.

[0101] Step S403: Determine whether the number of high-level events is greater than 10. If yes, proceed to step S404; otherwise, proceed to step S405.

[0102] Step S404: Determine that the radar detector's detection function is not malfunctioning.

[0103] Step S405: Determine whether the cooking state has been entered by pressing a button. If yes, proceed to step S406; otherwise, proceed to step S402.

[0104] Step S406: Determine that the radar detector's detection function has malfunctioned.

[0105] In this embodiment, the pre-cooking check mainly involves detecting fluctuation signals normally for a period of time before cooking. User operations such as using the function panel, placing or removing the inner pot, and cleaning the lid will trigger the radar detector to detect normal signals. If the circuit is detected as normal during the power-on pre-detection phase, the radar detector can normally detect fluctuations and output high and low levels. At this time, the control board also normally detects high and low levels in 100ms increments. Condition 1: If the number of high-level detections is greater than 10 or a set value, the radar detector is considered normal. Or, Condition 2: If the number of high-level detections is still less than 10 or a set value when the button (e.g., the start cooking button) responds and enters the cooking state, the radar detector is considered abnormal.

[0106] In a feasible scenario, see Figure 5 As shown, the post-cooking testing steps can be implemented through the following process:

[0107] Step S501: Determine whether the transmitting and receiving circuits of the radar detector are normal and whether the radar detector detection is normal. If yes, proceed to step S502; otherwise, proceed to step S503.

[0108] Step S502: Enter the normal radar detector detection boiling control program.

[0109] Step S503: Activate the power-on pre-detection logic once every 1 minute.

[0110] Step S504: Detect whether there is a normal communication signal.

[0111] Here, if the transmitting and receiving circuits of the radar detector malfunction, or if the radar detector's detection function malfunctions, the radar detector will self-test to check whether a communication failure has occurred by controlling the power on and off of the radar detector at fixed intervals (e.g., 1 minute).

[0112] Step S505: Determine whether the radar detector is functioning normally. If yes, proceed to step S502; otherwise, proceed to step S506.

[0113] Here, if the radar detector's self-test communication does not fail, the radar detector is considered normal; if the radar detector's self-test communication fails, the radar detector is considered abnormal.

[0114] Step S506: Is the bottom sensor temperature greater than 80℃? If yes, proceed to step S507; otherwise, proceed to step S503.

[0115] Step S507: The radar sensor detection scheme is abnormal. Run the control program according to the scheme without a cover sensor.

[0116] In this embodiment, if the power-on pre-detection and pre-cooking detection are normal after cooking begins, the program control is performed according to the normal logic radar detection boiling scheme. If the module circuit or detection is determined to be abnormal in the early stage, the power-on pre-detection and pre-cooking detection logic is continuously performed in a 1-minute cycle before the bottom sensor is detected to be at 80°C (or the set value). If a normal signal is detected, the normal logic of using the radar detector to detect boiling and control is switched to begin. If the bottom heater continues to heat to a temperature greater than 80°C and no normal signal is detected, the subsequent cooking process continues according to the no-top-cover sensor scheme until cooking is completed.

[0117] As can be seen from the above, this application provides a detection and control method for detecting the quality of a radar detector and adjusting the cooking logic. By detecting the changes in the radar detector signal at different time points, the method can determine the quality of the radar detector and adjust the cooking control logic during cooking to ensure the normal operation of the cooking equipment.

[0118] This application determines whether the radar detector is functioning properly using the following method:

[0119] Method 1: Upon power-up, the radar detector sends a specific pattern of electrical signals (such as high and low levels, sine waves, sawtooth waves, etc.) to the control board to determine whether communication is normal.

[0120] Method 2: After the power-on self-test is completed, the control panel continuously checks whether the radar signal is outputting a normal electrical signal (such as a high level) before cooking.

[0121] Method 3: If the radar detector is judged to be in an abnormal state during the cooking process, the radar detector will be self-tested to check whether the communication is normal by controlling the power on and off of the radar detector at fixed time intervals (such as 1 minute).

[0122] In summary, this application achieves the goal of preventing abnormal situations from occurring throughout the entire cooking process by employing methods such as power-on pre-detection, pre-cooking detection, post-cooking detection, and adjustment of control logic.

[0123] Based on the same inventive concept as described above, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cooking device 600 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The cooking device 600 includes: a radar detector 601, a cavity 602, and a controller 603.

[0124] The controller 603 is used to acquire the working status of the radar detector; in response to the detected cooking command, it controls the cooking device to enter the cooking mode corresponding to the working status; wherein, the cooking mode includes a first mode or a second mode, in which the cooking working parameters of the cooking device are adjusted according to the boiling parameters of the material in the cavity detected by the radar detector; the second mode detects the boiling parameters of the material in a different way than the first mode.

[0125] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the radar detector 601 is installed above the inner lid of the rice cooker and is perpendicular to the inner lid. The radar detector can detect fluctuations or distances in both the positive direction (the area indicated by 604) and the negative direction (the area indicated by 605) of the inner lid. When fluctuations or distance changes occur, a high-level signal is output to the control board module. The greater the change, the longer the high-level signal is output after detection.

[0126] In some embodiments, the operating state includes a first state indicating a fault diagnosis of the transmitting and receiving circuits of the radar detector.

[0127] In some embodiments, when acquiring the working state of the radar detector, the controller 603 is used to control the transmitting and receiving circuit to send a first electrical signal in response to a power-on command; control the control board of the cooking equipment to detect the first electrical signal and obtain a first detection result; and generate a first state based on the first detection result; wherein the working state includes the first state.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the first electrical signal within a first time period is greater than a first threshold, and the first state indicates that no fault has occurred in the transmitting and receiving circuits; or,

[0129] The first detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the first electrical signal within a first time period is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the first state indicates that the transmitting and receiving circuits have malfunctioned.

[0130] In some embodiments, the operating state includes a second state for indicating fault diagnosis of the detection function of the radar detector. After the first state is generated based on the first detection result, the controller 603 is configured to control the transmitting and receiving circuit to send a second electrical signal in response to the first state indicating that no fault has occurred in the transmitting and receiving circuit; control the control board to detect the second electrical signal to obtain a second detection result; and generate a second state based on the second detection result; wherein the operating state includes the second state.

[0132] The second detection result indicates that the number of times the control board detects the second electrical signal within the second duration is less than or equal to the second threshold. The second state indicates that the detection function of the radar detector has failed. The second duration is the time from the moment when it is determined that the transmitting and receiving circuit has not failed to the moment when the cooking command is detected.

[0133] In some embodiments, after generating a second state based on a second detection result, the controller 603 is used to continuously control the radar detector to perform a power-on self-test to obtain a third state in response to a first state indicating a fault in the transmitting and receiving circuit or a second state indicating a fault in the detection function of the radar detector, before the bottom temperature of the cavity reaches a temperature threshold; wherein, the working state includes the third state.

[0134] In some embodiments, when the controller 603 controls the cooking device to enter a cooking mode corresponding to the working state in response to a detected cooking command, and when the third state indicates that the bottom temperature reaches a temperature threshold, the radar detector fails the power-on self-test, and controls the cooking device to enter a second mode; or,

[0135] In response to the detected cooking command, before the third state indicates that the bottom temperature has reached the temperature threshold, the radar detector performs a power-on self-test and passes, and the radar detector's detection function has not malfunctioned, and controls the cooking device to enter the first mode.
