[0040] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, this embodiment provides a control system for a cooking rice cooker with intelligent boiling point recognition. The intelligent boiling point recognition module includes:

[0042] High-precision temperature and pressure sensors are used to collect data inside the pot in real time. The temperature sensor is installed at the center of the bottom of the pot and near the top of the side wall, while the pressure sensor is installed at the center of the inside of the pot lid.

[0043] It stores data models such as altitude-boiling point and water quality-boiling point, and dynamically calculates the actual boiling point through intelligent algorithms. Specifically, it includes a data acquisition unit to acquire temperature and pressure data, a data analysis unit to analyze the rate of temperature change and pressure change trends, and a boiling point calculation unit to calculate the actual boiling point based on the altitude-boiling point model and the water quality-boiling point model.

[0044] Real-time monitoring of the temperature change rate, combined with pressure data, accurately determines the boiling point. When the temperature change rate decreases significantly and the pressure data is relatively stable, it is determined that the boiling point has been reached.

[0045] Preferably, the multi-mode adaptive control module includes:

[0046] It has a built-in ingredient database that matches the best steaming and cooking parameters according to the characteristics of different ingredients. The ingredient database stores the best temperature curves and time parameters for various ingredients.

[0047] It offers a variety of preset steaming modes and supports user-defined modes, including quick steaming, nutrient-preserving steaming, and tender steaming.

[0048] By learning user operating habits through machine learning algorithms, personalized recommendations are provided. A collaborative filtering algorithm based on user behavior is used to record information such as the steaming / cooking mode selected by the user each time, the type of ingredients, and the evaluation of the steaming / cooking effect.

[0049] A preferred hardware architecture includes:

[0050] Main control module: Employs a high-performance microprocessor, such as the ARM Cortex-M7 series, responsible for data processing and system control, connecting and controlling the intelligent boiling point identification module, multi-mode adaptive control module, heating module, display and operation module, and communication module.

[0051] Sensor module: Includes temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc., which connects to the intelligent boiling point recognition module to provide real-time data.

[0052] Heating module: Multiple independently controllable heating units, such as ceramic heating plates, are connected to the main control module via relays to achieve precise temperature control.

[0053] Interaction module: Touch screen and communication interface, connected to the main control module, used for user interaction, supporting local and remote control.

[0054] A preferred software architecture includes:

[0055] Data acquisition layer: Collects and preprocesses sensor data, uses multi-threading technology to achieve parallel acquisition of temperature and pressure sensor data, and performs digital filtering.

[0056] Intelligent Algorithm Layer: Enables boiling point recognition, pattern matching, and parameter optimization, integrating boiling point recognition algorithm, ingredient matching algorithm, and pattern optimization algorithm.

[0057] Control execution layer: Generates control commands and drives hardware execution, and writes heating module control programs based on PID control algorithms.

[0058] User interaction layer: handles user input and feedback information, designs a simple and intuitive user interface on the touch screen, and develops corresponding applications on the mobile APP.

[0059] The operating principle and process of this utility model are as follows: Upon system startup, the temperature and pressure sensors begin operation. The DS18B20 high-precision digital temperature sensor, installed on the bottom and side walls of the pot, monitors real-time temperature changes within the pot; the MPX5050DP pressure sensor, located inside the lid, monitors the pressure within the pot. These sensors transmit the collected temperature and pressure analog signals to the main control module. The main control module converts the analog signals into digital signals via an A / D conversion pin and temporarily stores them in a data buffer. Simultaneously, if the user inputs operation commands via the touchscreen or mobile app, such as selecting a steaming / cooking mode or food type, this information is also transmitted to the main control module. Upon receiving the data, the main control module passes it to the intelligent algorithm layer for processing. Boiling point identification: The intelligent algorithm layer, based on altitude-boiling point and water quality-boiling point data models, combined with the currently acquired altitude information (user input or GPS positioning) and the air pressure measured by the pressure sensor, uses a linear interpolation algorithm to calculate the theoretical boiling point. Simultaneously, the temperature change rate is continuously monitored. When the temperature change rate decreases significantly and the pressure data stabilizes, the actual boiling point is determined to have been reached, and the theoretical boiling point is corrected accordingly. Ingredient matching and mode optimization: Based on the ingredients selected by the user, the optimal temperature curve and time parameters are retrieved from the ingredient database and proportionally scaled according to the actual boiling point. Furthermore, a collaborative filtering algorithm based on user behavior, referencing historical user operating habits and similar user data, optimizes and recommends steaming and cooking modes and parameters. After processing by the intelligent algorithm layer, the generated control commands are sent to the control execution layer. The control execution layer, based on a PID control algorithm, translates the commands into specific controls for the heating module. The main control module controls the heating power of the ceramic heating plate by adjusting the on / off time ratio of the relays connected to the heating module. For example, when the actual temperature is lower than the target temperature, the relay conduction time is increased to increase the heating power; when approaching the target temperature, the conduction time is reduced to achieve precise temperature control. During the steaming / cooking process, if abnormalities such as overheating or overpressure occur, the main control module will immediately cut off the heating power and trigger an alarm mechanism. The display and operation module will show the system's working status in real time, such as the current temperature, remaining time, and steaming / cooking mode. Users can adjust parameters or switch modes at any time via the touchscreen. The mobile app interacts with the rice cooker via HTTP or Bluetooth protocols, allowing users to remotely view the steaming / cooking progress, receive notifications when steaming / cooking is complete, and remotely start the rice cooker, set the steaming / cooking mode and time, achieving a convenient and intelligent cooking experience.
