The control method of reference Fig. 1-Fig. 3 detailed description electric cooker 100 according to embodiments of the present invention first below.
As shown in Figure 3, electric cooker 100 includes cooker body 1 and pot lid 2, it is provided with in steam channel 21 and steam channel 21 in pot lid 2 and is provided with depression generator 22, depression generator 22 for producing negative pressure in steam channel 21, such as, depression generator 22 in steam channel 21 around depression generator 22 generation negative pressure region.
Here, it is understandable that, term " negative pressure " refers to the pressure lower than the pressure in the foam entered in steam channel 21, and " negative pressure region " refers to that the pressure in this region is lower than the pressure in the foam entered in steam channel 21, and the value of negative pressure generally can be 0.85-1.0 normal atmosphere.
Heater 11 it is provided with in cooker body 1, such as it is arranged on the bottom of cooker body 1, the working method of heater 11 is generally batch (-type), namely within a working cycle, heater 11 is heating work and stopping heating within remaining a period of time within a period of time, wherein the Power Regulation of heater 11 is than the dutycycle for heater heating power, namely accounts for heat time heating time heat time heating time and does not heat the ratio of temporal summation.
With reference to Fig. 1, control method comprises the following steps according to an embodiment of the invention: (a) detects the running status of depression generator 22;If b () depression generator 22 is in normal operating condition, then control heater 11 to be heated with the first heating mode, if depression generator 22 is in abnormal operating condition, then control heater 11 be heated with the second heating mode, wherein under the second heating mode the heating power of heater 11 less than the heating power of heater 11 in the flrst mode.
Specifically, when cooking, first the running status of depression generator 22 is detected, if depression generator 22 is in normal condition, then heater 11 is heated with the first heating mode, and the first heating mode can be understood as normal heating pattern, if the depression generator 22 of detection is in abnormality, then heater 11 is heated with the second heating mode, and wherein under the second heating mode, the heating power of heater 11 is less than the heating power under normal mode.Thus, when depression generator 22 is in abnormality, by reducing the heating power of heater 11, the generation amount of foam can be reduced accordingly, thus being prevented effectively from foam overflow, improving and being under abnormality the anti-spilled effect of the foam of electric cooker at depression generator 22.
Control method according to embodiments of the present invention, before culinary art, first detects the duty of depression generator 22, when depression generator 22 is in normal condition, it is possible to food is cooked by powerful first heating mode, improves cooking speed;When detecting depression generator 22 and being in abnormality, low power second heating mode can be cooked by food, thus avoiding owing to depression generator 22 is in abnormality, still cause that foam too much overflows electric cooker with high-power heating, be substantially improved depression generator 22 and be in the foam of electric cooker anti-spilled effect during abnormality.
In some embodiments of the invention, step (a) carries out with predetermined time interval, for instance the running status of detection depression generator 22 can carry out at interval at regular intervals.Specifically, in the whole process of culinary art, after certain time, such as every 2 minutes, the running status of depression generator 22 can be detected once, is abnormality once state depression generator 22 being detected, then heater 11 will heat with the second heating mode.
More specifically, when first time is detected, if depression generator 22 is in normal condition, then heater 11 heats with the first heating mode, when second time detects after a certain time, if depression generator 22 is in abnormality, then the power reducing heater 11 is heated by heater 11 with the second heating mode.It is understood that the interval of twice detection can be a concrete numerical value set in advance, for instance within every 1 minute or every 2 minutes, can detect once.
Thus, carry out every predetermined time interval by detection pattern is arranged to, then can avoid in cooking process, depression generator 22 damage and heater 11 still before the first heating mode heating corresponding to the normal operating condition of one-time detection, thus further improving the anti-spilled effect of foam that depression generator 22 is under abnormality electric cooker.
Preferably, when depression generator 22 is in abnormal operating condition, depression generator 22 can be stopped.In other words, when depression generator 22 is in abnormal operating condition, can directly control depression generator 22 and quit work.Depression generator 22 can be fan, and the two ways that judge fan be in abnormality is briefly described below.
The first judgment mode: when the rotating speed of fan is within the scope of the first pre-set velocity, then judge that fan is in normal operating condition.First pre-set velocity scope can be in the upper and lower scope of the rated speed of fan, when detecting that the current running speed of fan is within the scope of the first pre-set velocity, can determine whether that fan is in normal condition.When the rotating speed of fan is within the scope of the second pre-set velocity, then judge that fan is in abnormality, wherein the second pre-set velocity scope can be remove the first extraneous range of speeds of pre-set velocity, when detecting that the current running speed of fan is within the scope of the second pre-set velocity, then may determine that fan is in abnormality.
Such as, the rated speed of fan can be 500r/ minute, first pre-set velocity scope can be 500r/ minute ± 50r/ minute, second pre-set velocity scope can be greater than 550r/ minute or less than 450r/ minute, it it is 430r/ minute as worked as rotating speed fan being detected, then can determine whether that fan is in abnormality, when rotating speed fan being detected is 480r/ minute, then can determine whether that fan is in normal condition.Here, it is necessary to explanation, above-mentioned numerical value is merely exemplary, merely to be more fully understood that the present invention.
The second judgment mode: fan revolution in Preset Time then judges that fan is in normal operating condition when being in the first default range of revolution, fan revolution in Preset Time then judges that fan is in abnormal operating condition when being in the second default range of revolution.Such as, for the scheduled time for 1 minute, fan can be 500 1 minute interior rated revolution, so the first default range of revolution can be set to 450-550, and second presets range of revolution can be greater than 550 or less than 450, so in 1 minute, when revolution fan being detected is 430, may determine that fan is in abnormality, when revolution fan being detected is 480, then may determine that fan is in normal condition.
As shown in Figure 2, in some currently preferred embodiments of the present invention, first heating mode includes step (b1) and step (b2), and wherein step (b1) controls heater 11 and heats with the first heating power P1, until the vapor (steam) temperature Tt >=the first preset temperature T1 at pot lid 2 places;Control heater 11 with step (b2) to heat with the second heating power P2, until the cooker body bottom temp Tb >=the second preset temperature T2 bottom cooker body 1, stop heater 11 and depression generator 22, wherein T2 > T1.Preferably, P2≤P1.Certainly, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments of the present invention, P2 is also greater than P1.
Specifically, the duty of electric cooker when step (b1) and step (b2) are in normal condition for depression generator 22, now electric cooker can be roughly divided into heating period and boiling stage, heating period correspondence step (b1), boiling stage correspondence step (b2), wherein in the heating period, heater 11 does not work with the first heating power P1 heating and depression generator 22, wherein in the process, compared with the electric cooker not having depression generator in traditional steam channel, can increase by the first heating power P1 or extend the heat time heating time (namely Power Regulation ratio increases) of heater 11.
More specifically, electric cooker 100 according to embodiments of the present invention has depression generator and begins to work when entering boiling stage, thus can avoid at the boiling stage initial stage, owing to heater heating power before is excessive or Power Regulation foam overflow occurs than too high, and then realize to improve heater heating power in the heating period and extending the purpose of heat time heating time.
To extend heat time heating time, one cycle of such as heater is 32 seconds, traditional electric cooker is approximately 20 seconds the heat time heating time of heater under this cycle, Comparatively speaking, according to embodiments of the invention, then the heat time heating time that can control heater is 30 seconds, even for 32 seconds i.e. whole cycle heater all in heating, thus rapid aggregation heat is so that the vapor (steam) temperature Tt at pot lid 2 places is rapidly increased to the first preset temperature T1, subsequently into boiling stage.
After electric cooker 100 enters boiling stage, specifically, heater 11 is not preferably by exceed the second heating power P2 work of the first heating power P1, and depression generator 22 starts in the process, owing to depression generator 22 produces negative pressure region in steam channel 21, therefore after boiling stage foam enters this negative pressure region, owing to the pressure in foam is more than the pressure outside foam, foam breaks after expanding rapidly under pressure differential effect, thus preventing foam from overflowing electric cooker with steam by steam channel 21, thus can be greatly improved the second heating power P2 of boiling stage or extend heat time heating time.
To improve heating power, at boiling stage, second heating power P2 of heater can be tradition electric cooker 1.5-2 times of heater heating power at boiling stage, thus rapid aggregation heat is so that the cooker body bottom temp Tb bottom cooker body is quickly ramped up to the second preset temperature T2, complete cooking process.
In short, when depression generator 22 is in normal condition, the first heating mode includes heating period and boiling stage, the heating power of the heater 11 in two stages can increase or extending heating time, thus shortening cooking time.
As in figure 2 it is shown, the second heating mode includes step (b3) and step (b4), wherein (b3) controls heater 11 and heats with the 3rd heating power P3, until vapor (steam) temperature Tt >=the 3rd preset temperature T3 detected at pot lid 2 places;(b4) control heater 11 to heat with the 4th heating power P4, until cooker body bottom temp Tb >=the 4th preset temperature T4 arrived in cooker body floor detection, stop heater 11 and depression generator 22, wherein P3 < P1, and T4 > T3.Preferably, P4 < P2≤P1, P3 < P2≤P1, P4≤P3.Specifically, above-mentioned steps (b3) is equivalent to the heating period of electric cooker when depression generator 22 is in abnormality, above-mentioned steps (b4) is equivalent to the boiling stage of electric cooker when depression generator 22 is in abnormality, and wherein be in step (b1) and step (b2) operation principle during normal condition with above-mentioned depression generator 22 roughly the same for step (b3) and step (b4).
More specifically, the heating period of electric cooker when depression generator 22 is in abnormality, controller 11 heats with the 3rd heating power P3, until vapor (steam) temperature Tt>=the 3rd preset temperature T3 detected at pot lid 2 places, wherein P3<P1, it is preferably P3<P2≤P1, that is, compare step (b1), the power of heater 11 reduces, thus can reducing the generation amount of foam, thus being prevented effectively from owing to depression generator 22 is in the foam overflow phenomenon that abnormality causes, improving anti-overflow effect.
The boiling stage of electric cooker when depression generator 22 is in abnormality, control heater 11 to heat with the 4th heating power P4, until cooker body bottom temp Tb >=the 4th preset temperature T4, the wherein P3 < P1, and T4 > T3 that arrive in cooker body floor detection.It is preferably P4 < P2≤P1, P3 < P2≤P1, P4≤P3 and T4 > T3, say, that compare step (b2), the power of heater 11 reduces, thus can reducing the generation amount of foam further, thus being prevented effectively from owing to depression generator 22 is in the foam overflow phenomenon that abnormality causes, improving anti-overflow effect, this step stops heater 11 and depression generator 22 after terminating, and completes culinary art.
Due to add depression generator 22 be in abnormality time, reduce the heating power of heater 11, therefore the generation amount of foam is reduced, it is to avoid owing to depression generator 22 is in the foam overflow phenomenon that abnormality causes and then the anti-overflow effect of foam improving electric cooker.
Further, when depression generator is in normal condition, control method also includes quantity of food in detection cooker body 1, and the second heating power P2 and the four heating power P4 is based on what the quantity of food in cooker body 1 selected from default heating power.In cooker body 1, the detection method of quantity of food can have multiple, and detection method three kinds different is described below, it is, of course, understood that the detection method of quantity of food is not limited to following three kind mode in cooker body 1.
Specifically, first method is: in cooker body, 1 quantity of food is based on the time that vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising predetermined temperature experiences, that is, in cooker body 1 quantity of food can according to pot lid 2 places vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising uniform temperature required for time determine, it is understandable that, quantity of food is more big, the time that its vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising predetermined temperature experiences is more long, quantity of food is more few, the time that its vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising predetermined temperature experiences is more short, thus can determine the number of quantity of food grade i. e. amount according to the length of this time.
Second method is: the amplitude that in cooker body, quantity of food is based in the unit interval vapor (steam) temperature Tt and rises, such as vapor (steam) temperature Tt rises how many degree within a certain period of time, size according to ascensional range may determine that the number of quantity of food, in other words, quantity of food is more big, the amplitude that vapor (steam) temperature Tt rises within a certain period of time is relatively more little, quantity of food is more little, the amplitude that vapor (steam) temperature Tt rises within a certain period of time is relatively more big, thus can according to vapor (steam) temperature Tt ascensional range in the unit interval determine quantity of food number.
The third method is: in cooker body, quantity of food is based on the time that vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising unit temperature value experiences and determines, the time that such as rising uniform temperature is such as 10 ° required, length according to this time may determine that the number of quantity of food, in other words, quantity of food is more big, this time is more long, and quantity of food is more little, and this time is more short.
After the number of the quantity of food grade i. e. amount determined in cooker body, the the second heating power P2 or the 4th heating power P4 that are suitable for can be selected from default heating power, to select the second heating power P2's to be sized to example, such as when quantity of food is more, bigger heating power can be selected, when quantity of food is less, it is possible to select less heating power, thus effectively shortening cooking time, energy efficient simultaneously.
Preferably, when depression generator is in normal condition, in step (b), depression generator 22 runs with predetermined cycle of operation, and predetermined cycle of operation is based on what the quantity of food in cooker body 1 selected from default cycle of operation.In other words, in order to ensure the effect that depression generator 22 defoams, simultaneously saves energy, depression generator 22 can according to quantity of food number select the cycle of operation preset.Specifically, quantity of food is more many, under identical heating power, the foam of its generation is also relatively more many, and quantity of food is more few, under identical heating power, the foam of its generation is also relatively more few, therefore can according to quantity of food number select the cycle of operation that depression generator 22 is suitable.
Illustrating for depression generator 22 periodic running below, when quantity of food is bigger, short pattern of optional intermittent time is to ensure the removal effect of foam, and when quantity of food is less, longer pattern of optional intermittent time is with energy efficient as much as possible.It is understandable that, the depression generator 22 of electric cooker can have multiple discontinuous operation pattern, its difference can be only that the length of intermittent time, such as its intermittent time of high-frequency work pattern can very short work even for zero i.e. depression generator 22 always, its intermittent time of low frequency operating mode can be relatively long, and intermediate frequency can be set between high frequency and low frequency operating mode, medium-high frequency, multiple pattern such as medium and low frequency is with the corresponding different intermittent times, thus when the different quantity of food of culinary art, optional suitable mode of operation, while preventing foam overflow, reduce the energy consumption of depression generator 22 to greatest extent, and then reduce the energy consumption of electric cooker.
It should be noted that, above-mentioned for depression generator 22 intermittent duty be only schematic, it is not considered as limiting the invention, it is understandable that, the power that depression generator 22 can also be after power adjustable and corresponding adjustment works always, such as, when quantity of food is bigger, optional depression generator 22 works with bigger power always, and when quantity of food is less, optional depression generator 22 works with less power always, this all will be appreciated that for those skilled in the art.
In some embodiments of the invention, when depression generator 22 is in abnormality, control method according to embodiments of the present invention may also include that quantity of food in detection cooker body 1, and wherein the 4th heating power P4 is based on what the quantity of food in cooker body 1 selected from default heating power.
When depression generator 22 is in abnormality, in detection cooker body, the method for quantity of food has multiple, for instance: in cooker body, quantity of food is based on amplitude that in the time or unit interval that vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising predetermined temperature experiences, vapor (steam) temperature Tt rises or what the time that vapor (steam) temperature Tt rising unit temperature value experiences was determined.Detection method about quantity of food, it is possible to time normal with depression generator 22, in detection cooker body 1, the method for quantity of food is identical, repeats no more here.
The control method of electric cooker according to embodiments of the present invention, when depression generator is normal, heater is heating work in the first pattern, can effectively shorten cooking time, improve cooking efficiency, and when depression generator exception, heater is heating work in a second mode, while ensureing cooking efficiency, prevent foam overflow as far as possible, the anti-overflow effect of foam when improving depression generator exception.
Below with reference to Fig. 3, electric cooker 100 according to embodiments of the present invention is described.
