[0040] The shell 11 is used to enclose a cooking cavity 12 for placing food.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the cooking cavity 12 can include one cooking area or multiple different cooking areas. In some embodiments, the different cooking areas can be used to place different food to be cooked respectively, for example, the different cooking areas can be two independent areas, which can be two independent heating cavities, or one heating cavity and one heating pan or heating plate. In some embodiments, the different cooking areas can also be used to cook the same food to be cooked, for example, the cooking cavity 12 can be divided into an upper cooking area and a lower cooking area, wherein the upper cooking area is used to cook the upper surface of the food, and the lower cooking area is used to cook the lower surface of the food, so as to cook the two surfaces of the food respectively. Alternatively, one heating cavity can be divided into a left part or a right part, and the specific division manner is not limited.

For example, the electric energy can be used to form a magnetic field in the coil, so that the cooking area magnetized by the formed magnetic field can be heated. For example, the electric energy can be used to heat the heating wire, so that the heated heating wire can directly heat the cooking pan made of heat-conducting material through heat conduction or indirectly heat the cooking pan, so as to heat the food on the cooking pan.

[0047] In some embodiments, the wireless communication module 20 may employ one or more modules with wireless communication capabilities, such as a WiFi module, a Bluetooth module, or a ZigBee module. In some embodiments, a wireless temperature probe is used to contact the food to detect its temperature and transmit the acquired temperature information to the wireless communication module 20.

Controlling the heating state of the heating component can also involve controlling the on / off state of the heating component 10 and adjusting one or both of the heating-related parameters during heating. These heating-related parameters include heating temperature, heating time, and heating power. For example, when the food temperature is lower than the target temperature, one or more of the heating temperature, heating power, and heating time of the heating component 10 can be increased; conversely, when the food temperature is higher than the target temperature, one or more of the heating temperature, heating power, and heating time of the heating component 10 can be decreased to meet the cooking temperature requirements of the food. In some embodiments, the wireless communication module 20 includes a radio frequency (RF) receiving circuit, which receives wireless signals transmitted by a wireless temperature probe. The wireless communication module 20 and / or the main control module 50 are further configured to decode the wireless signals received by the RF receiving circuit to obtain temperature detection information of the food, and transmit this information to the main control module 50 or the display screen assembly. The main control module 50 controls the cooking state of the cooking equipment or the heating state of the heating component 10 based on the temperature detection information.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the power module 40 includes a rectifier circuit 42 and a voltage conversion circuit 44, the rectifier circuit 42 is used to rectify the AC mains and output DC, and the voltage conversion circuit 44 converts the DC and outputs the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage respectively.

In some embodiments, the first voltage, the second voltage and the third voltage can be the same or different.

[0053] In some embodiments, the linear voltage stabilizing module 46 includes a linear voltage stabilizing circuit, at this time the linear voltage stabilizing circuit converts the first voltage and outputs the second voltage or the third voltage. In some embodiments, the linear voltage stabilizing module 46 includes two linear voltage stabilizing circuits, which can be in parallel, at this time the two linear voltage stabilizing circuits respectively convert the first voltage and output the second voltage and the third voltage respectively. The two linear voltage stabilizing circuits can be in series, at this time one linear voltage stabilizing circuit converts the first voltage and outputs the second voltage, and the other linear voltage stabilizing circuit converts the second voltage and outputs the third voltage.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 44 can include one or more voltage conversion modules to output one or more different supply voltages according to actual supply voltage requirements. For example, when the supply voltages required by the wireless communication module 20 and the charging assembly 30 are the same, the wireless communication module 20 and the charging assembly 30 can be supplied by the same DC-DC conversion module 45 or linear voltage stabilizing module 46, respectively. When the supply voltages required by the wireless communication module 20 and the charging assembly 30 are different, the wireless communication module 20 and the charging assembly 30 can be supplied by the DC-DC conversion module 45 and the linear voltage stabilizing module 46, respectively, or by different linear voltage stabilizing modules 46. Details are not described herein.

[0055] In some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 44 can also be used to supply power to other modules. If the supply voltage of the other modules is the same as the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage, the other modules can be directly supplied. If the supply voltage of the other modules is different from the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage, the voltage conversion circuit 44 can include additional voltage conversion modules to supply power to the other modules. For example, the voltage conversion circuit 44 includes the DC-DC conversion module 45, the first linear voltage stabilizing module 46, and the second linear voltage stabilizing module 46. The DC-DC conversion module 45 is used to output the first voltage to supply power to the main control module 50.

The second voltage is 3.3V, which is used as the first supply voltage to supply power to the wireless communication module 20. The third voltage is 3V, which is used as the second supply voltage to supply power to the charging assembly 30.

[0056] The charging assembly 30 is used to couple with the wireless temperature probe to charge the wireless temperature probe.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 5In some embodiments, the charging assembly 30 comprises a positive electrode connecting member 32 and a negative electrode connecting member 34, the positive electrode connecting member 32 is connected with the second power supply end of the power module 40, and the negative electrode connecting member 34 is grounded. When the positive electrode connecting member 32 and the negative electrode connecting member 34 are connected with the wireless temperature probe 60 respectively, the second power supply end of the power module 40 charges the wireless temperature probe 60. The wireless temperature probe 60 is provided with a corresponding positive electrode contact end and a negative electrode contact end, and the positive electrode connecting member 32 and the negative electrode connecting member 34 are used to connect with the positive electrode contact end and the negative electrode contact end respectively. In some embodiments, the positive electrode connecting member 32 and the negative electrode connecting member 34 can be realized based on conductive materials, and can be used for conduction only. In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the contact between the positive electrode connecting member 32 and the negative electrode connecting member 34 and the wireless temperature probe, the positive electrode connecting member 32 and the negative electrode connecting member 34 can have a certain elasticity, so that they are pressed against the wireless temperature probe based on elasticity, thereby improving the stability of the contact. For example, the positive electrode connecting member 32 and the negative electrode connecting member 34 can be spring, spring sheet, spring needle and the like respectively.

[0058] In some embodiments, the charging assembly 30 comprises a wireless charging module and a wireless charging coil, the wireless charging module is connected with the second power supply end and the wireless charging coil respectively, and the wireless charging module drives the wireless charging coil to charge the wireless temperature probe when the wireless charging coil is coupled with the wireless temperature probe.

In some embodiments, the wireless charging module can be realized based on an integrated wireless charging chip or based on discrete devices, which will not be described here.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 5In some embodiments, the charging assembly 30 further comprises an in-place detection member 36, the in-place detection member 36 is connected with the power supply module 40 and generates a first signal when in contact with the wireless temperature probe and generates a second signal when separated from the wireless temperature probe, the power supply module 40 charges the wireless temperature probe in response to the first signal and stops charging the wireless temperature probe in response to the second signal. The first signal and the second signal can be low level and high level respectively, so that the in-place detection member 36 can detect whether the wireless temperature probe is in the charging position. In some embodiments, the in-place detection member 36 can also be a connecting member such as a spring, a spring sheet, a spring needle, etc. In some embodiments, the first signal and the second signal can be transmitted to a user terminal such as a mobile phone by the wireless communication module 20, or directly transmitted to the master control module 50.

The master control module 50 can control the display screen assembly to display that the wireless temperature probe is in the charging state in response to the first signal, and control the display screen assembly to display the power information of the wireless temperature probe such as the current power in response to the second signal.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the wireless communication module 20 and the charging assembly 30 are integrated into the cooking device, so that the cooking device can directly communicate with the wireless temperature probe and charge the wireless temperature probe. Since the external probe base is removed, the wireless temperature probe communicates with the cooking device in real time through wireless signals, so that the design of the cooking device and the probe system is more compact, the interaction between the cooking device and the wireless temperature probe is more smooth, the overall user experience is improved, and the operation process is further optimized. Moreover, the wireless temperature probe can be directly charged through the cooking device, and the charging process is more convenient. In addition, the user no longer needs to separately manage the external probe base and the charging cord, and the risk that the wireless temperature probe cannot be used due to the probe base being out of power or the probe base being lost or damaged is also avoided.

[0061] For reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the cooking device further comprises a first circuit board 70 and at least one second circuit board 80. The first circuit board 70 and the at least one second circuit board 80 are configured with wires for electrical connection between various modules in the cooking device to achieve signal transmission between the modules or to achieve power supply for the various modules.

[0062] For reference Figure 6In some embodiments, the power module 40 and the wireless communication module 20 are arranged on at least one second circuit board 80, and the charging assembly 30 is arranged on the first circuit board 70 separately. For example, the power module 40 and the wireless communication module 20 can be arranged on different second circuit boards 80 respectively, or arranged on the same second circuit board 80. In the present embodiment, since the charging assembly 30 needs to be coupled with the wireless temperature probe, after the charging assembly 30 is arranged on the first circuit board 70 separately, the first circuit board 70 is used only for arranging the charging assembly 30, so that the area of the first circuit board 70 can be smaller, for example, smaller than the area of the second circuit board 80, so that when the first circuit board 70 is arranged on the shell 11, it can have more position choices, for example, it can be arranged at a position more convenient for coupling with the wireless temperature probe. On the other hand, when the charging assembly 30 is coupled with the wireless temperature probe, it can be contaminated by food residues such as oil stains on the wireless temperature probe, so that after the charging assembly 30 is arranged on the first circuit board 70 separately, other circuit boards and other modules can also be contaminated. The first circuit board 70 and each second circuit board 80 are arranged at different positions of the shell 11 respectively.

[0063] In some embodiments, part of the power module 40 and the wireless communication module 20 can also be arranged on at least one second circuit board 80, and the other part of the power module 40 and the wireless communication module 20 and the charging assembly 30 are arranged on the first circuit board 70. In the present embodiment, in addition to arranging the charging assembly 30, the first circuit board 70 can also arrange some other circuits, for example, all or part of the voltage conversion circuit 44, as long as the area of the first circuit board 70 is smaller than the area of each second circuit board 80, so that the first circuit board 70 can also be based on small volume, and also have more position choices on the shell 11, and cause less pollution to other modules. The first circuit board 70 and each second circuit board 80 are arranged at different positions of the shell 11 respectively.

[0064] In some embodiments, the shell 11 has a support portion for placing the wireless temperature probe. The position of the support portion corresponds to the position of the first circuit board 70, so that the charging assembly 30 can be coupled with the wireless temperature probe when the wireless temperature probe is placed on the support portion.

[0065] In some embodiments, the support portion is arranged on the outer surface of the housing 11, so that the wireless temperature probe can be placed on the outer surface of the housing 11. In this case, the outer surface of the housing 11 can be the outer surface of the top of the housing 11, or the outer surface of the side of the housing 11, and the support portion can be arranged on part or all of the outer surface. In this embodiment, the support portion is arranged on the outer surface of the housing 11, so that the oil stains and other food residues of the wireless temperature probe can be prevented from contaminating the inside of the housing 11, and the outer surface of the housing 11 is relatively easy to clean after being contaminated. In some embodiments, when the charging assembly 30 includes the positive electrode connecting piece 32 and the negative electrode connecting piece 34, the positive electrode connecting piece 32 and the negative electrode connecting piece 34 can be exposed to the housing 11 and connected to the wireless temperature probe placed on the support portion. For example, part or all of the outer surface of the top of the housing 11 is arranged as the support portion, and the support portion is provided with a through hole for exposing the positive electrode connecting piece 32 and the negative electrode connecting piece 34. When the wireless temperature probe is placed on the support portion, the wireless temperature probe is supported by the support portion and presses the positive electrode connecting piece 32 and the negative electrode connecting piece 34, so as to be connected to the positive electrode connecting piece 32 and the negative electrode connecting piece 34.

[0066] In the above embodiments, the charging assembly 30 is arranged on a separate circuit board, so that the charging assembly 30 can be better arranged in the housing 11 to be coupled to the wireless temperature probe, and at the same time, contamination of other modules and circuit boards can be avoided. In addition, the housing 11 can place the wireless temperature probe based on the support portion of the outer surface, so that the wireless temperature probe can be better integrated with the cooking device, and the inside of the housing 11 can be prevented from being contaminated, and the outer surface can be more convenient for cleaning the oil stains and other food residues of the wireless temperature probe.
