[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202311811705.7 filed on December 26, 2023 with the State Intellectual Property Office of China, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, and in particular to a control method and device for a steam-bake dual-function machine, a computer device, a steam-bake dual-function machine, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0004] A dual-function steam-bake machine can perform both baking and steaming functions. Currently, after baking is finished, if you continue to use the steaming mode for cooking, the dual-function steam-bake machine will always display preheating and will not be able to enter the steaming mode. Since the dual-function steam-bake machine will only enter the steaming mode after the temperature of the inner pot reaches the preset temperature range, usually this temperature range is less than 100°C. When the dual-function steam-bake machine has just finished baking (usually, the operating temperature for baking is 230°C), the temperature of the inner pot is too high, far exceeding the temperature range specified for entering the steaming mode, and the dual-function steam-bake machine cannot enter the steaming mode.

[0005] After baking, if the dual-function steam-bake machine continues to use the steaming mode for cooking, a reminder message will be issued to remind the user to open the door to dissipate heat. However, opening the door to dissipate heat is not effective and affects the user experience.

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0037] During the use of the steam-bake machine, after the user performs a professional baking, the internal temperature of the steam-bake machine is still in a high temperature environment above 100°C. When the user wants to run the steaming function to heat food with steam, the steam-bake machine cannot generate steam during the baking-to-steaming process (that is, the steam-bake machine always displays preheating, but the time is counting down, resulting in the working time being completed, the whole machine always displays the preheating stage, and no actual steaming is performed). It is necessary to open the door to dissipate heat, wait until the temperature drops, and then put food in to start the steam to operate the steaming function normally.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an embodiment of a control method for a dual-function steaming and baking machine (also referred to as a steaming oven) is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0039] In this embodiment, a control method for a steam-bake dual-function machine is provided, which can be used in a computer device. FIG1 is a flow chart of the control method for a steam-bake dual-function machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the flow chart includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S101: When the steaming mode needs to be turned on, the first current temperature of the inner pot (also referred to as the inner cavity) of the steam-bake dual-function machine is obtained.

[0041] The inner pot may also be referred to as the inner cavity. When the steam-bake machine is idle, it needs to enter the steaming mode, or after baking, it needs to enter the steaming mode. The disclosed embodiment obtains the first current temperature of the inner pot in the steam-bake machine to determine the state in which the steam-bake machine entered the steaming mode. This helps avoid the situation in which the steam-bake machine is unable to enter the steaming mode when it needs to enter the steaming mode after baking.

[0042] Specifically, the first current temperature may be acquired through a temperature sensor disposed in the inner container.

[0043] Step S102: When the first current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold, the steam generating device is turned on to cool the inner container using the steam generated by the steam generating device.

[0044] In some examples, the preset first threshold is greater than 100° C. When the steam generator is working, the steam can achieve the purpose of cooling through the evaporation heat dissipation and conductivity of steam, and the water vapor will also take away some heat during the diffusion process.

[0045] Specifically, steam's conductive properties for heat dissipation and cooling primarily rely on steam convection. During steam convection, high-temperature steam molecules flow toward low-temperature areas, while low-temperature air or a cooling medium simultaneously flows toward high-temperature areas, forming a convection cycle. This convection cycle transfers heat from the high-temperature steam to the low-temperature air or cooling medium, achieving heat dissipation and cooling. Generally speaking, the higher the steam temperature, the greater the steam density, and the lower the air or cooling medium temperature, the better the steam's conductive properties for heat dissipation and cooling.

[0046] The control method for a steam-bake dual-function appliance provided in this embodiment obtains a first current temperature of the appliance's inner pot when steaming mode is activated. When the first current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold, the steam generator is activated to cool the inner pot using steam generated by the steam generator. Thus, if the steam-bake dual-function appliance needs to continue cooking in steam mode after baking, the steam generated by the steam generator can be used to cool the inner pot, eliminating the need for a reminder message requiring the user to open the door to dissipate heat, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In this embodiment, a control method for a dual-function steam-bake machine is provided, which can be used in computer equipment. The dual-function steam-bake machine includes a steam generating device, which includes a boiler and a boiler heating pipe. The boiler heating pipe is used to heat the boiler.

[0048] FIG2 is a flow chart of a control method for a steam-bake dual-function machine according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the flow includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S201: when the steaming mode needs to be turned on, the first current temperature of the inner pot of the steam-bake dual-function machine is obtained.

[0050] Step S202: When the first current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold, the boiler heating pipe is turned on to enable the boiler to generate steam, so as to utilize the steam generated by the boiler to cool the inner tank.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the steam generating device includes a boiler and a boiler heating tube; when the first current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold value, the steam generating device is turned on to use the steam generated by the steam generating device to cool the inner tank, including: turning on the boiler heating tube to make the boiler generate steam, so as to use the steam generated by the boiler to cool the inner tank.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple boiler heating tubes in the boiler; turning on the boiler heating tubes to enable the boiler to generate steam includes: turning on all the boiler heating tubes in the boiler to enable the boiler to generate steam.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, after turning on the steam generating device to cool the inner pot using the steam generated by the steam generating device, the method further includes: turning on the bottom heating tube of the steam-bake dual-function machine.

[0054] When the steam generator is turned on, condensation is generated, which settles at the bottom of the oven. By activating the bottom heating element of the oven, the steam generator can improve steam utilization and reduce the difficulty of manual cleaning of the oven bottom.

[0055] Step S203: Continue to obtain the second current temperature of the inner container.

[0056] That is to say, after the steam generating device is turned on and the inner pot is cooled by the steam generated by the steam generating device, the temperature of the inner pot needs to be monitored. Specifically, the second current temperature can be obtained by a temperature sensor provided in the inner pot.

[0057] Step S204: determine whether the second current temperature is equal to the second threshold; when the second current temperature is equal to the second threshold, proceed to step S205; otherwise, return to step S203.

[0058] The second threshold is equal to the set temperature of the steaming mode. The set temperature of the steaming mode can be understood as the temperature at which the food to be cooked is steamed. When the second current temperature is less than or equal to the second threshold, the steaming mode is activated, thereby enabling the steaming mode of the dual-function steam-bake machine to be quickly activated.

[0059] Step S205: Start the temperature maintenance phase of the steaming mode.

[0060] Typically, the steaming mode includes a heating phase and a temperature maintenance phase. Since the steam generator has already been activated in step S202, when the second current temperature is equal to the second threshold, steam is present in the inner pot, and the temperature of the steam is equal to the second threshold. Furthermore, since the first threshold is equal to the set temperature, when the second current temperature is equal to the first threshold, the inner pot temperature has reached the set temperature. In other words, when the second current temperature is equal to the first threshold, the heating phase of the steaming mode is complete, and the temperature maintenance phase of the steaming mode can be directly entered.

[0061] The control method of the steam-bake dual-function machine provided in this embodiment can not only use the steam generated by the steam generating device to cool the inner pot without issuing a reminder message requiring the user to open the door to dissipate heat, thereby improving the user experience; but also can directly enter the temperature maintenance stage of the steaming mode when the second current temperature is equal to the first threshold, which is conducive to energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0062] In this embodiment, a control method for a steam-bake dual-function machine is provided, which can be used in computer equipment. The steam-bake dual-function machine includes a steam generating device, which includes a boiler and a boiler heating pipe.

[0063] FIG3 is a flow chart of a control method of a steam-bake dual-function machine according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3 , the flow includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S301: when the steaming mode needs to be turned on, the first current temperature of the inner pot of the steam-bake dual-function machine is obtained.

[0065] Step S302: When the first current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold, the boiler heating pipe is turned on to enable the boiler to generate steam, so as to utilize the steam generated by the boiler to cool the inner container.

[0066] Step S303: Obtain the working time of the boiler heating pipe.

[0067] Step S304: Determine whether the working time is greater than a third threshold; when the working time is greater than the third threshold, proceed to step S305; otherwise, proceed to step S306.

[0068] Step S305: Control the boiler heating pipe to stop working and issue a prompt message indicating that the boiler heating pipe is abnormal.

[0069] In other words, by monitoring the working time of the boiler heating tube, abnormal conditions of the boiler heating tube can be eliminated.

[0070] Step S306: Obtain the second current temperature of the inner container.

[0071] Step S307: Determine whether the second current temperature is less than or equal to the second threshold; when the second current temperature is less than or equal to the second threshold, proceed to step S308; otherwise, return to step S303.

[0072] Step S308: Turn on the steaming mode.

[0073] The control method of the dual-function steam-bake machine provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can not only use the steam generated by the steam generating device to cool the inner pot without issuing a reminder message requiring the user to open the door to dissipate heat, thereby improving the user experience; but also eliminate abnormal conditions of the boiler heating pipe by monitoring the working time of the boiler heating pipe.

[0074] In this embodiment, a control method for a steam-bake dual-function machine is provided, which can be used in computer equipment. The steam-bake dual-function machine includes a steam generating device, which includes a boiler and a boiler heating pipe.

[0075] FIG4 is a flow chart of a control method of a steam-bake dual-function machine according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3 , the flow chart includes the following steps:

[0076] Step S401: when the steaming mode needs to be turned on, the first current temperature of the inner pot of the steam-bake dual-function machine is obtained.

[0077] Step S402: Determine whether the first current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold. When the first current temperature is greater than the preset first threshold, proceed to step S403: When the first current temperature is less than or equal to the first threshold, proceed to step S407.

[0078] Step S403: Turn on the steam generating device to use the steam generated by the steam generating device to cool down the inner container.

[0079] Step S404: Continue to obtain the second current temperature of the inner container.

[0080] Step S405: Determine whether the second current temperature is less than or equal to the second threshold. When the second current temperature is less than or equal to the second threshold, proceed to step S406; when the second current temperature is greater than the second threshold, return to step S404.

[0081] Step S406: Enter the temperature maintenance stage of the steaming mode, and then go to step S313.

[0082] Step S407: Turn on the steam generating device to heat the inner container using the steam generated by the steam generating device.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the steam generating device includes a boiler and a plurality of boiler heating tubes located in the boiler; the steam generating device is turned on to use the steam generated by the steam generating device to heat the inner tank, including: when the set temperature is greater than a preset sixth threshold value, the plurality of boiler heating tubes are turned on to cause the boiler to generate steam, so as to use the steam generated by the boiler to heat the inner tank; and when the set temperature is less than or equal to the sixth threshold value, a boiler heating tube is turned on to cause the boiler to generate steam, so as to use the steam generated by the boiler to heat the inner tank.

[0084] For example, the sixth threshold value may be 70°C. When the boiler includes boiler heating pipe 1 and boiler heating pipe 2, when the set temperature is greater than 70°C, boiler heating pipe 1 and boiler heating pipe 2 operate simultaneously to generate steam; when the set temperature is less than or equal to 70°C, boiler heating pipe 1 or boiler heating pipe 2 operates alone to generate steam.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, after turning on the steam generator to heat the inner pot with steam generated by the steam generator, the method further includes turning on the bottom heating tube of the steam-bake dual-function machine. For example, the heating cycle of the bottom heating tube is 50 seconds.

[0086] When the steam generator is turned on, condensation is generated, which settles at the bottom of the oven. By activating the bottom heating element of the oven, the steam generator can improve steam utilization and reduce the difficulty of manual cleaning of the oven bottom.

[0087] Step S408: Obtain the set temperature of the steaming mode.

[0088] Step S409: determining the conditions for exiting the heating phase according to the set temperature.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the set temperature is greater than the fourth threshold; the conditions for exiting the heating stage include: the temperature of the inner tank is greater than the set temperature; or when the temperature of the inner tank is between the fourth threshold and the set temperature, the temperature of the inner tank remains unchanged within a preset time period.

[0090] In an optional embodiment, the set temperature is less than or equal to the fourth threshold; the conditions for exiting the heating stage include: the temperature of the inner tank is greater than the fifth threshold; the fifth threshold is determined based on the fourth threshold.

[0091] For example, the fourth threshold value can be 90°C. That is, when the user sets the temperature at a level greater than 90°C, the conditions for exiting the heating stage are: ① the temperature of the inner pot ≥ the set temperature, or ② the temperature of the inner pot can be maintained unchanged for more than 90 seconds when the temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold and the temperature of the inner pot is less than the set temperature. When the initial set temperature is less than 90°C, the conditions for exiting the heating stage are: the temperature of the inner pot > the user-set temperature minus 15°C. Among them, the user-set temperature minus 15°C is the fifth threshold mentioned above.

[0092] This can better control the rapid temperature rise and prevent overshooting of too high a temperature value, making it easier to control the temperature during the temperature maintenance stage.

[0093] Step S410: Obtain the temperature of the inner container.

[0094] Step S411: Determine whether the temperature of the inner tank meets the conditions for exiting the heating stage. When the temperature of the inner tank meets the conditions for exiting the heating stage, proceed to step S412; when the temperature of the inner tank does not meet the conditions for exiting the heating stage, return to step S411.

[0095] Step S412: Enter the temperature maintenance stage of the steaming mode, and then proceed to step S413.

[0096] Step S413: Control the steam generating device according to the temperature maintenance control method corresponding to the steaming mode.

[0097] For example, when the boiler includes boiler heating tube 1 and boiler heating tube 2, the two boiler heating tubes operate alternately with a duty cycle (boiler heating tube 1 runs for one cycle and then boiler heating tube 2 runs in the next cycle), the cycle is 20s (run 10s and stop 10s), and the cycle duty cycle is determined by the PID algorithm.

[0098] For example, when the boiler includes boiler heating tube 1 and boiler heating tube 2, the two boiler heating tubes operate alternately: boiler heating tube 1 and boiler heating tube 2 work alternately according to a cycle. If boiler heating tube 1 is used for heating in the current cycle, boiler heating tube 2 is used for heating in the next cycle.

[0099] Step S414: After the temperature maintenance stage ends, the steaming mode ends.

[0100] The control method of the steam-bake dual-function machine provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can not only use the steam generated by the steam generating device to cool the inner pot when the first current temperature of the inner pot is greater than the first threshold value, without issuing a reminder message requiring the user to open the door to dissipate heat, thereby improving the user experience; but also when the first current temperature of the inner pot is less than the first threshold value, it can better control the rapid rise in temperature and prevent overshooting of too high a temperature value, making it easier to control the temperature during the temperature maintenance stage.

[0101] In summary, to address the issue of a persistent "preheating" display during high-temperature baking, a high-efficiency, low-consumption control method for high-temperature steam conversion is employed to cool steam. This ensures normal operation and steam generation for cooking during the high-temperature steam conversion process. Furthermore, because the steam heating process generates condensate at the bottom of the oven's inner pot, requiring user cleanup, the disclosed embodiment utilizes a bottom heating tube to reheat the condensate at the bottom of the inner pot, removing the condensate.
