Description

Food cooking machine and control method Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of intelligent kitchen appliances, and more particularly to a food processor and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, many food processors on the market have built-in recipes, such as the Chinese patent application "Automatic Food Processor Cooking Mode Control Method, Automatic Food Processor, and Storage Medium" with publication number CN111700522A. These all feature built-in recipes. However, the weights of ingredients for each recipe are fixed. For example, the cumin beef recipe includes: 400g beef, 50g scallions, 50g water, 30g chili peppers, 20g cooking oil, 20g onion, 20g garlic, 15g cilantro, 15g soy sauce, 5g corn starch, 3g chili powder, 2g cumin, and 3g salt. A toast recipe includes: 300g high-gluten flour, 50g granulated sugar, 120g pure milk, 40g butter, one egg (approximately 50g), and 4g yeast. Therefore, users can only process ingredients according to the weight given in the recipe. However, in actual use, users may not need dishes of this weight. For example, when processing small or large portions of dishes, the weight of each ingredient in the original recipe ingredient list needs to be recalculated manually. Moreover, when the amount of ingredients is reduced or increased, the cooking time and temperature also need to be changed. If they are not changed, the ingredients may be burnt or undercooked. The above situation seriously affects the use of the food processor and brings great trouble to users. Summary of the Invention

This greatly facilitates the user's use of the food processor, eliminates the need for the user to manually analyze and calculate the required recipes, and satisfies the user's different cooking needs. Furthermore, the food processor can effectively ensure the processing / cooking effect of the food and avoid the occurrence of burnt or under-cooked food caused by over- or under-processing.

[0051] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present disclosure, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present disclosure with unnecessary or redundant detail. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather serve merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to variously employ the present disclosure with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0053] This description may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in a further embodiment," or "in other embodiments," each of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present disclosure.

[0054] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] As shown in FIG1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a food processor, comprising:

[0056] An input and display device, configured to display an operation interface for user operation, receive information input by the user based on the operation interface, and display food preparation information, including recipes and food processing procedures;

[0057] A stirring device, used for holding and stirring ingredients;

[0058] A heating device for heating food;

[0059] A weighing device for weighing food ingredients;

[0060] A central controller is connected to the input and display device, the stirring device, the heating device and the weighing device, and is used to determine a reference recipe based on information input by the user, determine the actual weight of the main ingredients added by the user based on the weighing device, and determine a target recipe based on the reference recipe and the actual weight. Thereafter, the stirring device and / or the heating device are controlled to operate according to the target recipe to complete food preparation, wherein the target recipe is different from the reference recipe in terms of the weight of ingredients and parameters involved in the food processing process.

[0061] The input and display device in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a touch screen display that displays an operation interface, such as one containing different reference recipes. These different reference recipes can be used to knead dough, prepare sugar-free bread, sweet bread, yogurt, etc. The user can select the corresponding reference recipe based on the current cooking requirements. Once the reference recipe is determined, the central controller will obtain the recipe information fed back by the input and display device. At this time, the central controller can control the operation of the weighing device to weigh the main ingredients added by the user to the cooking container and obtain the weight information fed back by the weighing device. The central controller can then perform a comprehensive calculation based on the weight information and the main ingredients, side ingredients, and processing steps recorded in the reference recipe to generate a new target recipe. The target recipe includes the ingredients and their weights that match the current cooking requirements, as well as the food processing steps, such as the processing steps involved, the duration of each step, the duration of the stirring device and / or heating device required for each step, and operating parameters such as speed and heating temperature. The weight of the ingredients and the processing flow are matched with the weight of the main ingredients. Based on the target recipe, users can prepare dishes that are equivalent to those prepared based on the reference recipe. That is, except for the different portions, the taste and appearance of the dishes are consistent.

[0062] Based on the foregoing, it can be seen that the present embodiment has the advantageous effects of a simple overall structure of the food processor and ease of preparation. Compared to conventional food processors with fixed recipes, the food processor of the present embodiment can, after a user determines a reference recipe, generate a new target recipe matching the weight of ingredients for the current dish based on the reference recipe using the weight of the main ingredient added by the user, fed back by a weighing device. The target recipe includes the ingredients and weights required for the main ingredient, as well as a processing flow for processing the ingredients used for the current dish to the user's ideal state. This enables the food processor to prepare dishes of different sizes based on a single recipe, that is, allowing the user to freely control the food portion size. The food processor can prepare dishes of different sizes but with the same taste and texture, thereby greatly facilitating user use. When preparing dishes with ingredient weights different from those in the reference recipe, the user no longer needs to manually calculate the weight of each ingredient, thus fully meeting the user's diverse cooking needs. Furthermore, based on the target recipe, the food processing / cooking effect can be effectively ensured, avoiding over- or under-processing that results in burning or undercooking of the food.

[0063] Furthermore, the food processor also includes a lighting device connected to the central controller and configured to provide different lighting effects under the control of the central controller. The different lighting effects correspond to the different heating temperatures of the heating device. For example, if the heating device includes multiple heating levels, the lighting device may display different lighting effects corresponding to the different heating levels, such as different colors, different brightness, and different display modes, such as flashing or constant lighting. The specific lighting effects can be used to inform the user of the current temperature of the food processor, thereby preventing burns due to operational errors. Furthermore, the lighting device can also be used for illumination within the food processor, such as when stirring food.

[0064] The heating device includes a heater and a temperature sensor for sensing a heating temperature, and the central controller controls the temperature of the heater based on the heating temperature sensed by the temperature sensor and the temperature information recorded in the target recipe;

[0065] The stirring device includes a stirrer and a negative feedback component. The stirrer includes a stirring pot for holding ingredients and a power drive for stirring the ingredients. The central controller controls the stirrer's speed based on real-time rotation information of the stirrer fed back by the negative feedback component and temperature information recorded in a target recipe.

[0066] For example, the central controller compares the heating temperature and stirring speed based on the feedback with the corresponding temperature and speed information in the target recipe. If they match, the settings are maintained. If they do not match, the controller adjusts the heating temperature and stirring speed by increasing or decreasing them, or by turning the heater or stirrer on or off. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor is an NTC chip, and the central controller can send commands to the NTC chip to control the heater. To adjust the stirrer, the central controller can adjust the stirrer speed by adjusting the input voltage and current.

[0067] As shown in FIG2 , another embodiment of the present invention also provides a cooking control method, which is applied to the food processor as described in any of the above embodiments. The cooking control method includes:

[0068] S1: In response to an input instruction, determining a reference recipe, wherein the reference recipe includes ingredient information and food processing procedures;

[0069] S2: Controlling the weighing device to weigh the main ingredient added by the user, wherein the main ingredient corresponds to a reference main ingredient in a reference recipe, wherein the reference main ingredient in the reference recipe has a first weight, and the weight of the reference ingredients and the food processing reference process both match the reference main ingredient of the first weight;

[0070] S3: Determine a second weight of the main ingredient added by the user, and calculate and generate a target recipe based on the second weight and information in the reference recipe, wherein the weights of the ingredients and the food processing flow in the target recipe match the second weight of the main ingredient;

[0071] S4: Control and realize the food cooking based on the target recipe.

[0072] Wherein, determining the second weight of the main ingredient added by the user includes:

[0073] S5: obtaining real-time weighing information of the main ingredients fed back by the weighing device;

[0074] S6: When the real-time weighing information fed back by the weighing device remains unchanged within the target time period, determining a second weight of the main ingredient added by the user based on the real-time weighing information.

[0075] Specifically, as the user intermittently adds the main ingredient, the weighing device will return multiple weight information. The central controller then needs to identify these multiple weight information feedbacks to determine the final second weight. In this embodiment, the central controller calculates whether the weight information obtained within the target time period has changed. If so, the central controller ignores the weight information. If not, the central controller determines that the value corresponding to the weight information is the second weight.

[0076] Furthermore, the method further comprises:

[0077] S12: controlling the display of the target recipe;

[0078] S13: In response to a confirmation instruction input by the user, controlling the weighing device to weigh the ingredients added by the user;

[0079] S14: When it is determined that the main ingredients and the side ingredients required for the current food preparation are ready, the current food preparation is realized based on the target recipe control.

[0080] For example, after a user selects a reference recipe through the input and display device and issues a weighing instruction, the central controller receives the instruction and sends a weighing information instruction to the weighing device. The weighing device receives and executes the instruction to weigh the main ingredient and feedback the weighing information of the main ingredient. The central controller receives and identifies the weighing information fed back by the weighing device in real time. When the received information stabilizes, that is, the weight value no longer changes, the central controller calculates the required weight of each ingredient based on the determined weight of the main ingredient and the reference recipe to form a target recipe. The central controller can then display the weight information of each ingredient or the prepared target recipe as a whole through the control input and display device, so that the user can understand the ingredient information and prepare it accordingly. When the user confirms the target recipe and enters the weighing instruction again, the central controller controls the weighing device to weigh the different ingredients and feedback the corresponding weighing information. When the central controller determines based on the feedback information that all ingredients are prepared, it controls the food processor to operate according to the target recipe to complete the food preparation.

[0081] Optionally, when determining the weight information, the method adopted in this embodiment is to determine the final weight value by rounding or rounding off (the weight value matches the weighing accuracy of the weighing device). In addition, for the weight of the main ingredients, a threshold range is set in the central controller, namely the minimum main ingredient amount and the maximum main ingredient amount. Moreover, the minimum cooking amount and the maximum cooking amount can also be set, namely, the sum of the weight of the main ingredients and the side ingredients has an upper limit and a lower limit. When formulating the target recipe, the central controller needs to set it in combination with the preset weight threshold. When the main ingredient added by the user is overweight or less than the minimum weight value, the central controller will generate a prompt message and display it through the input and display device.

[0082] In another embodiment, calculating and generating a target recipe based on the second weight and information in a reference recipe includes:

[0083] S7: Calculating a ratio of the second weight to the first weight;

[0084] S8: Calculating and determining the weight of each ingredient required for the current dish based on the ratio and the weight of each reference ingredient in the reference recipe;

[0085] S9: Determine the configuration relationship between the weights of the reference main ingredients and reference ingredients in the reference recipe and the processing parameters involved in the food processing reference process;

[0086] S10: Calculating and determining the food processing process for this dish based on the configuration relationship and the food processing reference process in the reference recipe;

[0087] S11: Generate the target recipe based on the second weight of the main ingredient, the weight of each ingredient, and the food processing process.

[0088] The food processing process includes stirring and heating sequences, corresponding to stirring time and / or heating time, stirring speed, and heating temperature in different processing steps.

[0089] In this embodiment, each reference recipe has a corresponding standard ingredient ratio, as well as the relationship between the weight ratio of ingredients and the processing parameters involved in the cooking process. Recipe changes are generated and modified accordingly based on this standard. After receiving the weight information of the main ingredient, the central controller determines the standard ingredient ratio for the current reference recipe and incorporates the weight of the main ingredient into this ratio, allowing for flexible calculation and modification of the weights of other required auxiliary ingredients to create a new recipe that meets the user's cooking needs. Once the user confirms the current ingredient information, the central controller further calculates and determines the subsequent processing flow.

[0090] Specifically, when determining the processing flow for a particular food dish, the central controller first determines the weight ratio of the ingredients. Then, based on the relationship between the weight ratio of the ingredients in the reference recipe and the processing parameters involved in the processing flow, as well as the weight ratio of the ingredients, it calculates the optimal processing method for the ingredients, including the sequence of different processing steps, the time, temperature, and stirring speed (i.e., rotational speed) involved in each step. Based on this processing method, the central controller determines the processing flow for the target recipe, completing the creation of the target recipe. The central controller then displays the processing flow information via the input and display device and controls the operation of the food processor based on the target recipe, including sending instructions to the heating device and / or stirring device to control their operation and simultaneously activating a timer function to start timing. Preferably, to facilitate real-time information about the processing time of the food dish, the central controller controls the input and display device to display the total cooking time and the current processing time. In response to the expiration of the timer for each processing step, the central controller controls the next processing step based on the target recipe and controls the operation of the heating device and / or stirring device based on the recipe information for that step.

[0091] Based on the solution described in this embodiment, the food processor can flexibly adjust the actual processing process (involving time, temperature, and stirring speed) as the weight of the cooking ingredients added by the user changes, so that the optimal processing method can be used to complete the cooking of dishes of different sizes. In another optional embodiment, the weight of the ingredients to be cooked and the size of the parameters involved in the processing process can be divided into levels, and ingredients of different weight levels correspond to different processing levels. For example, the minimum amount, standard amount, and maximum amount of cooking ingredients correspond to low, medium, and high processing levels, respectively. When determining the weight of the ingredients, a rounding algorithm is used to ensure that the weight value falls within a classified weight level.

[0092] Furthermore, the controlling and implementing of the food cooking based on the target recipe includes:

[0093] S15: controlling the operation of the stirring device and / or the heating device based on the target recipe;

[0094] S16: Obtaining a real-time rotational speed of the stirring device, and regulating the operation of the stirring device based on the real-time rotational speed and a target rotational speed corresponding to the current processing step recorded in the target recipe;

[0095] S17: Obtaining a real-time heating temperature of the heating device, and regulating the operation of the heating device based on the real-time heating temperature and a target heating temperature corresponding to the current processing step recorded in the target recipe;

[0096] S18: timing the operating time of the stirring device and / or heating device based on the operating time of the stirring device and / or heating device corresponding to different processing steps recorded in the target recipe;

[0097] S19: In response to the timing ending, the stirring device and / or the heating device is controlled to switch the operating state, and the operating state includes at least one of the following: stopping operation, switching the speed operation, and switching the heating temperature operation.

[0098] For example, the central controller has a timing function, or the food processor has a timer. The central controller can control the processing time based on the timing function or the timer, that is, the operating time of the heating device and / or the stirring device in each processing link, thereby achieving control of the total processing time. When the temperature of the heating device is controlled, the central controller receives the real-time temperature information fed back by the NTC in the heating device, and compares the temperature information with the temperature information corresponding to the current processing link recorded in the target recipe. When the actual temperature is lower than or higher than the specified temperature, the central controller controls the start and stop of the heating device in real time, or dynamically adjusts the temperature of the heating device. When the speed of the stirring device is controlled, the central controller receives the real-time speed information fed back by the negative feedback device in the stirring device, and compares the real-time speed information with the speed information corresponding to the current processing link in the target recipe. If the actual speed is higher or lower than the specified speed, the central controller corrects the voltage and current output to the stirring device in real time, thereby adjusting the stirring speed.

[0099] In another embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0100] S20: Controlling the lighting device to operate with different lighting effects according to the heating temperature of the heating device, wherein the different lighting effects include at least one of the following: different colors, different brightness, and different lighting modes.

[0101] For example, the central controller can automatically control the lighting device based on the current heating temperature to display a lighting effect that matches the current temperature. Alternatively, in response to a temperature instruction input by the user through a menu interface displayed on the input and display device, the central controller controls the heating device to operate based on the temperature instruction. At the same time, the NTC chip in the heating device feeds back the heating temperature information to the central controller in real time. The central controller receives the real-time NTC information and sends instructions to the lighting device. The lighting device receives and executes the instructions to display a matching lighting effect. In this embodiment, the corresponding relationship between the lighting effect and the heating temperature is as follows: when the heating temperature is below 30°C, the lighting device displays white light; when the heating temperature is medium (30-50°C), the lighting device 7 displays yellow light; when the heating temperature is above 50°C, the lighting device displays red light. In addition, the lighting device in this embodiment can also be controlled by the central controller to light up during the operation of the stirring device for lighting purposes.

[0102] Another embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, which includes a stored program, wherein when the program is executed, a device including the storage medium is controlled to execute the control method as described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0103] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium and comprising computer-readable instructions. When executed, the computer-executable instructions cause at least one processor to perform the control method described in the above embodiments. It should be understood that each solution in this embodiment has the corresponding technical effects of the above-described method embodiments and will not be further elaborated here.

[0104] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims.
