Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a cooking control method according to a first embodiment of the present application. The cooking control method of the embodiment includes the steps of:

s11: a target input energy required by the microwave cooking apparatus to cook a target food is determined.

The main difference between the raw and cooked food is that the physical and chemical properties of the food are changed before and after cooking, and the food is heated mainly by adopting a traditional heating mode from outside to inside and a heating mode which is carried out together from inside to outside, such as microwave heating. Regarding the heating method using microwaves, when microwaves are radiated to food, because the food always contains a certain amount of moisture and the water is composed of polar molecules, the orientation of the polar molecules will change with the microwave field, and due to the movement of the polar molecules of the water in the food and the interaction between adjacent molecules, a phenomenon similar to friction is generated, so that the temperature of the water rises, and thus the temperature of the food rises, thereby heating the food. Cooking a target food to be cooked by using a microwave cooking apparatus, the target food being required to absorb a certain amount of heat, the amount of heat being converted by microwave energy; it can be understood that, for the same target food, the microwave energy required for cooking the target food and the weight of the target food are in a linear positive correlation within the controllable weight range, and the microwave energy is in a linear positive correlation with the total energy required for the microwave cooking device to cook the target food, namely the target input energy, so that when the microwave cooking device is used for cooking the target food, the target input energy required for the microwave cooking device to cook the target food can be determined before cooking.

S12: the power detection is carried out on the microwave cooking equipment to obtain the first actual input power for starting to cook the target food.

It can be understood that the microwave cooking devices all have a rated power, but the output power of the microwave cooking devices during actual operation may not be the same as the rated power, so that during operation of the microwave cooking devices, the power of the microwave cooking devices can be detected to obtain the first actual input power for starting to cook the target food.

S13: based on the target input energy and the first actual input power, a remaining cooking time of the target food is determined.

It can be understood that the work done per unit time is called power, so after the target input energy required by the microwave cooking apparatus to cook the target food and the first actual input power for starting to cook the target food are determined, the time required by the microwave cooking apparatus to cook the target food, that is, the remaining cooking time of the target food can be determined. It should be noted that the remaining cooking time of the target food obtained by the present application represents the time expected to be continuously cooked by the microwave cooking device after the target food is cooked, and since the remaining cooking time of the target food is determined, when the user uses the microwave cooking device to cook the target food, the remaining cooking time of the target food is displayed on the display screen through the microwave cooking device, so that the user can know in advance the time length of waiting for the cooking to be completed, and the user can conveniently make full use of the cooking time or solve the uncertainty of the user waiting for time.

In a specific implementation scenario, for example, popcorn is made by using a microwave cooking device, 100g of the popcorn to be microwaved is first put into the microwave cooking device, a target input energy E required by the microwave cooking device to cook 100g of the popcorn is determined, for example, 0.055KW · h is required, then power detection is performed on the popcorn when the microwave cooking device starts to cook, a first actual input power P for starting to cook 100g of the popcorn is obtained, for example, 1280W, then a remaining cooking time of 100g of the popcorn is estimated to be t, that is, t is E/P55/1280 is 0.043h is 154s, and then it is estimated that the microwave cooking device needs 154s more than 100g of the popcorn.

In addition, the actual cooking powers of the microwave cooking devices of different production batches may be different, and the actual cooking powers of the microwave cooking devices of the same production batch may also be different, but the cooking control method is performed by calculating the total energy input by the microwave cooking devices, so that accurate control of the cooking time of the target food can be realized for any one microwave cooking device. For example, 100g of popcorn is cooked, the microwave cooking device A and the microwave cooking device B are offline from the same production line, but the actual input power of the microwave cooking device A is 1280W, and the actual input power of the microwave cooking device B is 1350W; since the target input energy required to cook 100g of popcorn is 0.055KW · h, then microwave cooking appliance a and microwave cooking appliance B calculate the remaining cooking time based on 1280W and 1350W of input power at the beginning, respectively, and finally obtain: the remaining cooking time tA of the microwave cooking device a is equal to E/PA, 55/1280 is equal to 0.043h is equal to 154s, the remaining cooking time tB of the microwave cooking device B is equal to E/PB, 55/1350 is equal to 0.0407h is equal to 146s, the remaining cooking time of the microwave cooking device a and the remaining cooking time of the microwave cooking device B with respect to 100g of popcorn can be obtained, and accurate control of the cooking time of the target food can be achieved for both the microwave cooking device a and the microwave cooking device B.

In this embodiment, the target input energy required by the microwave cooking device to cook the target food is determined, then the power of the microwave cooking device is detected to obtain the first actual input power for starting to cook the target food, and the remaining cooking time of the target food is determined based on the target input energy and the first actual input power, so that the remaining cooking time can be automatically determined according to the target food during cooking, and accurate control of the cooking time of the target food can be realized.

However, in practical applications, due to the characteristics of the transformer magnetron of the microwave cooking apparatus, the microwave cooking apparatus may decrease its actual input power after operating for a period of time, that is, the subsequent actual input power of the microwave cooking apparatus may be changed during the cooking process of the microwave cooking apparatus, and even when the same microwave cooking apparatus starts the same menu (i.e., cooks the same kind of food with the same amount), if the microwave cooking apparatus is in different operating states, for example, in a cold state and a hot state, respectively, or in a hot state to a different extent, its subsequent actual input power may be different, generally, the cooking effect in the cold state may be good, but the cooking effect in the hot state may be that the food is not cooked, thereby possibly causing a food safety problem. Therefore, there is a need for an accurate prediction of the remaining cooking time of the target food based on the target input energy and the first actual input power. Referring to fig. 2, step S13 includes:

s131: acquiring preset cooking power change information of microwave cooking equipment; the preset cooking power variation information comprises preset input power corresponding to different cooking time.

It can be understood that due to the characteristic of the transformer magnetron of the microwave cooking device, the actual input power of the microwave cooking device is reduced after the microwave cooking device works for a period of time, that is, the power of the microwave cooking device is reduced, and the preset input powers corresponding to the microwave cooking device in different cooking times are different. Because the preset cooking power variation information of the microwave cooking devices of different production batches may be different, and the preset cooking power variation information of different microwave cooking devices of the same production batch may also be different, when the microwave cooking device is used for cooking, the preset cooking power variation information corresponding to the microwave cooking device needs to be acquired, that is, the preset input power corresponding to different cooking times of the microwave cooking device is acquired, that is, the preset cooking power variation information corresponding to the microwave cooking device may include a curve of the preset input power of the microwave cooking device along with the change of the cooking time.

S132: and determining a first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power in the preset cooking power change information.

After the preset cooking power change information of the microwave cooking equipment, which contains the preset input power corresponding to different cooking times, is obtained, the first actual input power is the same as the preset cooking power at a certain time, and therefore the time is the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power in the preset cooking power change information.

S133: and acquiring a first change condition of the preset input power with the cooking time after the first cooking time in the preset cooking power change information.

Since the preset input power of the microwave cooking device changes along with the change of the cooking time, the change condition of the preset input power is continuous, and therefore, after the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power in the preset cooking power change information is determined, the first change condition of the preset input power along with the cooking time after the first cooking time can be further obtained.

S134: and calculating the remaining cooking time of the target food based on the target input energy and the first change condition of the preset input power along with the cooking time.

It can be understood that, according to the power reduction rule of the microwave cooking device, after it is determined that the first actual input power corresponds to the first cooking time in the preset cooking power change information, it may be estimated that the change condition of the actual input power of the microwave cooking device after the first actual input power should be consistent with the first change condition of the preset input power with the cooking time after the first cooking time, that is, it may be estimated that the total energy input by the microwave cooking device is accumulated in the subsequent cooking time, when the total energy input is equal to the target input energy, it indicates that the microwave cooking device is finished cooking the target food, so that the accumulated total energy is equal to the cooking time corresponding to the target input energy as the predicted cooking end time, and the time length from the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power in the preset cooking power change information to the predicted cooking end time represents the predicted cooking time of the microwave cooking device after the microwave cooking device starts to cook the target food The time for which the cooking is continued is required, i.e., the remaining cooking time of the target food can be calculated.

In an implementation scenario, please refer to fig. 3a, where fig. 3a is a graph illustrating preset cooking power variation information in an application scenario of a microwave cooking apparatus. In the implementation scenario, the microwave cooking equipment adopts a step power reduction mode, the maximum power is 1280W, the minimum power is 1024W, the power is reduced to 1152W after 1280W lasts for 90s, and the power is reduced to 1024W after 1152W lasts for 90 s; taking the example of making 100g of popcorn by using the microwave cooking device, that is, determining that the target input energy E required by the microwave cooking device to cook 100g of popcorn is 0.055KW · h, then performing power detection on the microwave cooking device when the microwave cooking device starts to cook, obtaining that the first actual input power P is 1280W, determining that the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power P in the preset cooking power change information is 0s according to the curve diagram of the preset cooking power change information of the microwave cooking device shown in fig. 3a, and obtaining a first change condition of the preset input power after 0s in the preset cooking power change information along with the cooking time; then, a first variation of the input power with cooking time (i.e. the curve shown in fig. 3 a) can be preset according to the target input energy E being 0.055KW · h and 0s, since the total input energy at 90s is 1.28 KW · 90/3600 being 0.032KW · h and the total input energy at 180s is 0.032+1.152 KW 90/3600 being 0.061KW · h, and the following relationships can be found by comparison: 0.032KW · h < E ═ 0.055KW · h <0.061KW · h, the cooking end time T is expected to be between 90s and 180s, i.e., T ═ 90+ (0.055-0.032) × 3600/1.152 ═ 162s, so that the remaining cooking time T ═ 0 ═ 162s of the target food can be calculated, and it can be presumed that 162s is needed for the microwave cooking device to cook 100g of popcorn.

In another embodiment, please refer to fig. 3b, where fig. 3b is a graph illustrating preset cooking power variation information in another application scenario of the microwave cooking apparatus. In the implementation scenario, the microwave cooking equipment adopts a linear power reduction mode, the maximum power is 1350W, the minimum power is 1050W, 1W is reduced every 1s in the process of reducing the power from 1350W to 1050W, and the power reduction operation time is 300 s; taking the example of making 100g of popcorn by using the microwave cooking device, that is, determining that the target input energy E required by the microwave cooking device to cook 100g of popcorn is 0.055KW · h, then performing power detection on the microwave cooking device when the microwave cooking device starts to cook, obtaining that the first actual input power P is 1350W, determining that the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power P in the preset cooking power change information is 0s according to the curve diagram of the preset cooking power change information of the microwave cooking device shown in fig. 3b, and obtaining a first change condition of the preset input power after 0s in the preset cooking power change information along with the cooking time; then, according to the target input energy E being 0.055KW · h and the first change of the preset input power with the cooking time after 0s (i.e. the curve shown in fig. 3 b), since the total input energy at 155s is (1.35+1.35-0.155) × 0.5 × 155/3600 ═ 0.0548KW · h, and the total input energy at 156s is (1.35+1.35-0.156) × 0.5 × 156/3600 ═ 0.0551KW · h, and 0.0548KW · h ═ 0.055KW · h <0.0551KW · h, the predicted cooking end time T is between 155s and 156s, 156s can be taken as the predicted cooking end time, the remaining time T of the target food can be calculated as T-0 ═ 156s, and then 100g of popcorn can be supposed to be popped in the microwave cooking device 156 s.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a cooking control method according to a second embodiment of the present application. The second embodiment of the cooking control method of the present application is based on the first embodiment of the cooking control method of the present application, and further defines that the step S12 includes:

s121: the method comprises the steps of detecting power of the microwave cooking equipment to obtain a plurality of first actual input powers within a first preset time period for starting to cook target food. At this time, the first cooking time in the above embodiment is a cooking time period in the preset cooking power variation information, which matches the plurality of first actual input powers.

It can be understood that, when the first actual input power is the actual input power corresponding to the time when the cooking is started, after acquiring preset cooking power variation information of the microwave cooking device including preset input power corresponding to different cooking times, determining that the time is a first cooking time possibly inaccurate corresponding to the first actual input power in the preset cooking power variation information by comparing that the first actual input power is the same as the preset cooking power at the time, because in practical application, the actual input power of the microwave cooking device may be unstable at the time of starting cooking, resulting in inaccurate determination of the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power, therefore, the judgment of the first change condition of the preset input power along with the cooking time after the subsequent first cooking time and the accuracy of the finally obtained residual cooking time of the target food can be influenced; therefore, by obtaining a plurality of first actual input powers within a first preset time period for starting to cook the target food and then determining a cooking time period corresponding to the plurality of first actual input powers in the preset cooking power change information, the situation that the first cooking time is determined inaccurately due to the fact that the actual input powers of the microwave cooking equipment are unstable at the time of starting to cook can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a cooking control method according to a third embodiment of the present application. The third embodiment of the cooking control method of the present application is further defined after step S13 on the basis of the first embodiment of the cooking control method of the present application, and includes:

s14: and carrying out power detection on the microwave cooking equipment to obtain second actual input power in the process of cooking the target food.

S15: the remaining input energy currently for the target food is determined.

S16: and updating the remaining cooking time of the target food based on the remaining input energy and the second actual input power.

It can be understood that, after the remaining cooking time of the target food is determined, the target food is continuously cooked, since the previously determined remaining cooking time of the target food is obtained according to the target input energy required by the microwave cooking apparatus to cook the target food and the first actual input power for starting to cook the target food, but during the cooking process, the actual input power of the microwave cooking apparatus may be decreased, i.e. less than the first actual input power, the power detection of the microwave cooking apparatus may be continuously performed during the cooking process to obtain the second actual input power during the cooking of the target food, since the previous cooking time and power are known, i.e. the previous input total energy is known, the current remaining input energy to the target food may be determined according to the previous input total energy and the target input energy, then, according to the remaining input energy and the second actual input power, the time required for the microwave cooking device to cook the target food can be determined, i.e. the remaining cooking time of the target food can be updated.

Referring to fig. 6, similar to the specific flow of the step S13, the step S16 includes:

s161: and searching for a second cooking time matched with the second actual input power in the preset cooking power change information of the microwave cooking equipment.

S162: and acquiring a second change condition of the preset input power with the cooking time after the second cooking time in the preset cooking power change information.

S163: and updating the residual cooking time of the target food based on the second change condition of the residual input energy and the preset input power along with the cooking time.

Similar to the above-mentioned first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power in the preset cooking power change information, obtaining a first change situation of the preset input power with the cooking time after the first cooking time in the preset cooking power change information, and finally calculating to obtain the remaining cooking time of the target food based on the target input energy and the first change situation of the preset input power with the cooking time, or determining a second cooking time corresponding to the second actual input power in the preset cooking power change information of the microwave cooking apparatus, and then further obtaining a second change situation of the preset input power with the cooking time after the second cooking time, that is, it can be presumed that the change situation of the actual input power after the second actual input power of the microwave cooking apparatus should conform to the second change situation of the preset input power with the cooking time after the second cooking time, that is, the total energy cumulatively input by the microwave cooking device in the cooking time after the second actual input power can be estimated, when the total energy cumulatively input by the microwave cooking device is equal to the remaining input energy, it indicates that the cooking of the target food by the microwave cooking device is completed, and therefore, the cooking time corresponding to the remaining input energy is equal to the new estimated cooking end time, and the time length from the second cooking time corresponding to the second actual input power in the preset cooking power change information to the new estimated cooking end time represents the time that the microwave cooking device is estimated to continue to cook after the second actual input power, that is, the remaining cooking time of the target food can be updated.

Referring to the above method for determining the remaining input energy of the target food, specifically referring to fig. 7, step S15 includes:

s151: and calculating the current input energy of the target food according to the detected actual input power and the current cooking time in the process of cooking the target food.

During the process of cooking the target food by the microwave cooking device, the actual input power of the microwave cooking device can be continuously detected from the beginning of cooking, so that the actual input power is detected according to the actual input power

At any time in the cooking process, the total energy which has been input by the microwave cooking device, that is, the current input energy of the target food can be calculated according to the detected actual input power and the current cooking time.

S152: and taking the difference between the target input energy and the current input energy as the current residual input energy for the target food.

Since the current input energy of the target food is calculated and the target input energy of the target food is known, the current input energy is subtracted from the target input energy, i.e. the remaining input energy currently for the target food can be determined.

In another specific implementation scenario, referring to fig. 3a, taking an example of making 100g of popcorn by using a microwave cooking device as an example, it is determined that the target input energy E required by the microwave cooking device to cook 100g of popcorn is 0.055KW · h, then power detection is performed on the microwave cooking device when the microwave cooking device starts to cook, so as to obtain a first actual input power P of 1280W, and referring to the last application scenario, it is determined that the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power P1 in the preset cooking power change information is 0s, and it is estimated that 162s is required for the microwave cooking device to cook 100g of popcorn. However, after cooking for 10s, power detection is performed on the microwave cooking device, and a second actual input power P2 after cooking for 10s is 1152W, at this time, it can be determined that the total energy that has been input by the microwave cooking device is E1 ═ 1.280 × 10/3600 ═ 0.0036KW · h, so that it can be determined that the current residual input energy after cooking for 10s is E2 ═ E-E1 ═ 0.055-0.0036 ═ 0.0514KW · h; then, in a curve diagram of the preset cooking power change information of the microwave cooking device as shown in fig. 3a, a second cooking time which is matched with the second actual input power P2 is found to be 90s, and a second change condition of the preset input power after 90s in the preset cooking power change information along with the cooking time is obtained; then, according to the second variation of the input power with the cooking time after the residual input energy E2 is 0.0514KW · h and 90s, since the total input energy corresponding to 90s to 180s is 1.152 × 90/3600 ═ 0.0288KW · h and 0.0288KW · h < E2 ═ 0.0514KW · h, the cooking end time T is predicted to be after 180s, i.e., T ═ 180+ (0.0514-0.0288): 3600/1.024 ═ 260s, and then the residual cooking time T ═ T-90 ═ 170s of the target food can be calculated; it can be understood that since the remaining cooking time obtained at the beginning of cooking is 162s and the original remaining cooking time is 152s after 10s, the microwave cooking apparatus may update 152s to 170s since power reduction occurs at this time and it is estimated that 170s is still needed for the remaining cooking time at this time. Through the updating of the residual cooking time, the problem that the residual cooking time of the target food calculated before is wrong due to inaccurate positioning of the first cooking time corresponding to the first actual input power caused by cold and hot state reasons can be prevented, and the cooking difference of the microwave cooking equipment in cold and hot states is solved.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a cooking control method according to a fourth embodiment of the present application. The fourth embodiment of the cooking control method of the present application is based on the third embodiment of the cooking control method of the present application, and further defines that the step S14 includes:

s141: and performing power detection on the microwave cooking equipment to obtain a plurality of second actual input powers within a second preset time period in the process of cooking the target food. At this time, the second cooking time in the above embodiment is a period of cooking time matched with the plurality of second actual input powers in the preset cooking power variation information.

Similar to the step S121, by obtaining a plurality of second actual input powers within a second preset time period of cooking the target food, and then determining a cooking time period corresponding to the plurality of second actual input powers in the preset cooking power variation information, it is possible to avoid a situation that the determination of the second cooking time is inaccurate due to the fact that the actual input powers of the microwave cooking apparatus are unstable at a certain cooking time. Specifically, the details of step S121 may be referred to, and are not described herein.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for detecting power of a microwave cooking device in the cooking control method of the present application. The method for detecting the power of the microwave cooking equipment comprises the following steps:

s91: and obtaining the actual current by using a current transformer in the microwave cooking equipment.

S92: and calculating the current actual input power of the microwave cooking equipment by using the actual current.

When the microwave cooking device actually works, the working voltage of the microwave cooking device is generally constant, and because the power has a relation with the voltage and the current: and therefore, the current actual input power of the microwave cooking device can be calculated by acquiring the actual current when the microwave cooking device is operated and then using the actual current.

In addition, referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic flowchart illustrating the specific flow of step S11 in fig. 1, wherein step S11 includes:

s111: food information of the target food is acquired.

S112: and obtaining target input energy matched with the food information by utilizing the preset corresponding relation between the food and the input energy.

For the same target food, in a controllable weight range, the microwave energy required for cooking the target food and the weight of the target food are in a linear positive correlation relationship, and the microwave energy is in a linear positive correlation relationship with the total energy required to be input by the microwave cooking equipment for cooking the target food, namely the target input energy, so that the corresponding relationship between the food and the input energy can be preset in the microwave cooking equipment, and after the food information of the target food is acquired, the corresponding relationship between the food and the input energy can be compared to obtain the target input energy required by the microwave cooking equipment for cooking the target food.

Further, the step S111 may specifically include: acquiring food information of target food input by a user; or detecting the food information of the target food by using a detection component of the microwave cooking equipment. In addition, the food information of the target food of the present application may include category information and weight information of the target food. Specifically, according to different actual settings of the microwave cooking device, the obtaining manner of the food information of the target food may be that the food information of the target food is input into the microwave cooking device by the user, for example, before cooking, the user may select the food a to be cooked on an input panel of the microwave cooking device, and then input the weight 100g of the food a to be cooked specifically, so that the food information of the target food obtained by the microwave cooking device is: 100g of food A and generating a corresponding cooking menu; for example, after the user puts 100g of food B to be cooked into the microwave cooking apparatus, the detection component of the microwave cooking apparatus detects the food B and obtains the food information of the target food as follows: 100g of food B and generate a corresponding cooking menu. In addition, because the target input energy is related to the weight of the target food, different weights correspond to different target input energies, and therefore, the cooking control method can not cause the target food to be over-cooked or under-cooked when the microwave cooking equipment cooks the target food with any weight, and the weight can be accurate to gram, so that stepless automatic cooking can be realized.

Further, when the food information of the target food is acquired through detection by the detection assembly of the microwave cooking apparatus, the information detection assembly may include at least one of a camera assembly and a weight sensing assembly. For example, when the information detection component only includes the camera component, the step of detecting the food information of the target food by using the detection component of the microwave cooking apparatus may specifically include: the shooting component of the microwave cooking equipment is used for shooting the target food to obtain a food image, and the food image is identified to obtain the category information and the weight information of the target food. Specifically, after a camera assembly of the microwave cooking device photographs target food to obtain a food image, the food image is identified to obtain category information of the target food, and weight information of the target food can be obtained according to the volume of the target food in the food image. For another example, when the information detection component includes a camera component and a weight sensing component, the step of detecting the food information of the target food by using the detection component of the microwave cooking apparatus may specifically include: the method comprises the steps of photographing target food by using a photographing assembly of the microwave cooking equipment to obtain a food image, identifying the food image to obtain category information of the target food, weighing the target food by using a weight sensing assembly of the microwave cooking equipment to obtain weight information of the target food.
