Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

Before explaining the present invention in detail, a configuration of the kitchen appliance control system according to the present invention will be briefly described. The kitchen equipment control system comprises an equipment center control device, a power detector, a pause device and at least two kitchen equipment. The device central control can be a device such as a computer, a handheld device and the like, at least two kitchen devices are connected to the device central control, and the device central control executes various operations such as total power statistics, device suspension, device recovery and the like. When the at least two kitchen devices are connected to the device central control unit, the at least two kitchen devices can be added to the Internet of things provided by the device central control unit in the form of the Internet of things, so that the device central control unit can control the at least two kitchen devices. The power detector is used for detecting the total power of at least two kitchen devices and transmitting the detected total power to the device central control unit, so that the device central control unit controls the suspension of at least two kitchen devices. The pause device is used for controlling at least two kitchen devices to pause, is controlled by the device central control, and can be set for each kitchen device in the access device central control. The at least two kitchen appliances may be appliances present in the kitchen, may be appliances with a cooking function, or may also be auxiliary appliances without a cooking function, such as range hoods, lights, exhaust fans, etc.

In an embodiment of the invention, the at least two kitchen appliances may be all kitchen appliances or a part thereof.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a kitchen device control method, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

101. the temporal power of at least two kitchen appliances is captured.

In the embodiment of the invention, since whether part of the kitchen equipment needs to be suspended or not needs to be judged according to the total power of at least two kitchen equipment with cooking tasks, the time power of the at least two kitchen equipment needs to be acquired, and then the total power is counted according to the time power subsequently.

Wherein, the total power of at least two kitchen devices can be the total power of all devices in the user kitchen main cable, and can also be the total power of high-power devices such as an electromagnetic stove; when at least two kitchen devices are high-power devices such as induction cookers, the preset threshold value is generally adjusted and calculated according to the maximum range that the power supply cable can bear.

Considering that part of the kitchen devices may be suspended in real time when the total power exceeds the preset threshold, and predicting a time period when the total power exceeds the preset threshold, so as to suspend part of the kitchen devices in advance, when acquiring the temporal power of at least two kitchen devices, the temporal power may be the real-time power of the current at least two kitchen devices, that is, the real-time power of the at least two kitchen devices in operation is acquired by the power detection device as the temporal power of the at least two kitchen devices. Or, the time power may be task power of a task to be executed in the at least two kitchen devices, that is, the task to be executed received by the at least two kitchen devices is obtained, and the task power of the task to be executed is calculated as the time power of the at least two kitchen devices. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of obtaining the time power.

102. And counting the first total power of the at least two kitchen devices according to the moment power of the at least two kitchen devices.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the time powers of the at least two kitchen devices are obtained, the sum of the time powers of the at least two kitchen devices may be calculated according to the time powers of the at least two kitchen devices, and the sum is used as the first total power, so as to determine whether the suspended operation of the kitchen devices needs to be performed according to the first total power.

103. And if the first total power is larger than or equal to the preset threshold value, suspending at least one kitchen device in the at least two kitchen devices.

In an embodiment of the present invention, if the first total power is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that a pause operation of the kitchen device is required to avoid overload of the power supply circuit, and therefore, at least one kitchen device may be obtained from the at least two kitchen devices and paused, that is, the at least one kitchen device is temporarily turned off. Wherein the kitchen device may be randomly selected as the at least one kitchen device to pause.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the moment power of at least two kitchen devices is obtained, the first total power of the at least two kitchen devices is counted, and when the first total power is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, at least one kitchen device in the at least two kitchen devices is suspended, so that the situation that the total power of the kitchen devices exceeds the maximum range which can be borne by a power supply cable is avoided, the pressure on a power supply system is reduced, and the possibility of fire occurrence and the possibility of failure in cooking caused by tripping are reduced.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a kitchen device control method, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

201. and acquiring the moment power of at least two kitchen devices, and counting the first total power of the at least two kitchen devices according to the moment power of the at least two kitchen devices.

The inventor realizes that as people live more conveniently and quickly, many people set up many intelligent kitchen devices in homes at present, and the intelligent kitchen devices have various functions in order to realize intellectualization, and as the functions of the intelligent kitchen devices are continuously increased, the power consumed by the devices is also continuously increased. In daily life, when a user uses kitchen equipment, in order to free himself and reduce labor, at least two kitchen equipment are likely to work simultaneously, the power required by the simultaneous work of the at least two kitchen equipment may reach dozens of kilowatts, but generally, the available power of the mains power is only about 14 kilowatts, which may cause that the mains power cannot meet the normal cooking requirements of the at least two kitchen equipment, cannot reach the temperature required by food cooking, and even may cause the power supply pressure of the power supply circuit of the mains power, causing fire and the like. Therefore, the method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be used for suspending the tasks of part of the kitchen equipment by calculating the total power of at least two kitchen equipment, thereby avoiding the over-pressure of the power supply circuit.

In order to realize the control of at least two kitchen devices, the device central control is arranged in the kitchen equipment management system, the quantity of the kitchen equipment accessed to the device central control is considered to be large, the at least two kitchen equipment are distinguished and counted, when the kitchen equipment is accessed to the device central control, the device central control can extract the identification information or the equipment address of the kitchen equipment, the kitchen equipment is marked by adopting the identification information or the equipment address, the identification information or the equipment address of all the accessed kitchen equipment is counted and stored in a table mode, and the comprehensive management of the at least two kitchen equipment is realized. It should be noted that, for kitchen devices such as a multi-range hood, which are provided with a plurality of device units or can simultaneously perform different tasks, the device central controller regards the device as at least two kitchen devices, that is, the device has several device units or can perform several different tasks, and regards the device as several kitchen devices, and does not regard the device as one kitchen device.

In addition, the equipment central control can also provide functions of distributing menu tasks to the kitchen equipment and the like, and a user can set the menu tasks for the kitchen equipment which is accessed to the equipment central control on the equipment central control. For example, a user may set "stir-fry broccoli" as a recipe task for a stir-fry device on the device; and setting 'egg steaming' as a menu task for the cooking equipment. It should be noted that the menu task may be manually input by the user, or the control in the device may provide the user with an optional task list, and the user selects a specific task in the task list as the menu task.

In the embodiment of the invention, the triggering condition for the kitchen equipment pause of the control part in the equipment is that the first total power of at least two kitchen equipment exceeds the bearing range of the power supply circuit, so that when the first total power of at least two kitchen equipment is counted, the moment power of at least two kitchen equipment can be obtained, the sum of the moment power of at least two kitchen equipment is calculated, and the sum is taken as the first total power. When the temporal power of the at least two kitchen devices is obtained, in a first mode, in order to timely pause a part of the kitchen devices when the total power of the at least two kitchen devices is detected to be too large in real time, the real-time power can be used as the temporal power of the at least two kitchen devices. Specifically, firstly, acquiring identification information or equipment address of currently running kitchen equipment; and then, detecting the current real-time power of the kitchen equipment marked by the identification information or the equipment address, and taking the current real-time power of the kitchen equipment as the power at the moment.

In a second mode, in order to predict a time point at which the total power of at least two kitchen devices may be excessive in the whole operation process, part of the kitchen devices may be suspended in advance before the total power is excessive, a menu task of the kitchen devices may be analyzed, and task power for executing the menu task is used as time power. Specifically, firstly, acquiring menu tasks which are currently received or pre-distributed by at least two kitchen devices, and acquiring tasks to be executed by the kitchen devices by analyzing the menu tasks; subsequently, the task power of the task to be performed is calculated as the instantaneous power of the at least two kitchen appliances. When the menu task is analyzed, the task to be executed is obtained according to the execution process of the menu task or the name of the menu task, and then the task power is calculated. For example, assuming that the recipe task for the kitchen device X at time a is "pan-fried broccoli", the recipe task may be divided into a plurality of steps, such as step one: heating equipment with power of 1500W for 60s …; step two: adding 5ml of vegetable oil, heating at 2000W for 30s …; step three: blanching broccoli with 3000W power, and heating for 2min …; step four: …, the power of each step can be calculated as the time of day power.

After the time power of the at least two kitchen devices is obtained, the sum of the time power of the at least two kitchen devices can be calculated, and the sum is used as the first total power of the at least two kitchen devices. Specifically, when the first total power is counted, the sum of the powers at the time of the same time period is taken as the first total power of the at least two kitchen devices. Continuing with the above example, assuming that the recipe task for kitchen Y at time a is "tomato scrambled eggs," the recipe task may be divided into a number of steps, such as step 1: heating equipment with power of 1500W for 60s …; step two: adding 5ml of vegetable oil, with power of 2000w, and heating for 20s …; step three: adding eggs, heating at 1000 deg.C for 30s …; step four …, so that the time power of the kitchen device X and the kitchen device Y in the time period from a to a +60s can be counted as 1500w, and the first total power of the kitchen device X and the kitchen device Y is counted as 3000 w. In the practical application process, it is likely that the recipe task of the kitchen Y is "tomato fried egg" only at the time a +60s, at this time, the power of the kitchen device X at the time a +60s, that is, the power of the kitchen device X at the time after the step one is completed enters the power 2000w at the time of the step two, the power of the kitchen device Y at the time a +60s, that is, the power of the kitchen device Y at the time of the step one enters the power 1500w, and the first total power of the kitchen device X and the kitchen device Y is calculated to be 3500 w.

In addition, due to different functions of different kitchen devices, one recipe task may need to be executed by at least two kitchen devices to be completed, for example, the second step of "stir-frying broccoli" of the recipe task "adding 5ml of vegetable oil" may be completed in the kitchen device X, the third step of "blanching broccoli" may be completed in the kitchen device Y, and the two steps are not interfered with each other and may be performed simultaneously, so that if one recipe task needs to be executed by at least two kitchen devices, the recipe task may be split into a plurality of cooking tasks according to the steps, the plurality of cooking tasks are allocated to different kitchen devices, and when the first total power is counted, the single cooking task is counted according to the time sequence. In the process of practical application, because kitchen equipment also includes equipment such as a range hood and the like, when the first total power is calculated, the power of the range hood at the moment needs to be counted.

It should be noted that the above process of counting the first total power may be performed by a power detector in the kitchen appliance control system. Further, the maximum power of the kitchen appliances currently on the market is not higher than the available power of the mains electricity, and if only one kitchen appliance is ready to operate or is operating, the overload of the power supply circuit does not occur even during the power peak period of the kitchen appliance, so the number of the kitchen appliances mentioned in the present invention is generally two or more than two.

202. Comparing the first total power with a preset threshold, and if the first total power is smaller than the preset threshold, executing the following step 203; if the first total power is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the following steps 204 to 205 are performed.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first total power of the at least two kitchen devices is obtained through statistics according to the time power of the at least two kitchen devices, whether the partial kitchen devices need to be suspended or not can be determined based on the first total power. In order to set a total power criterion so as to trigger the kitchen equipment to pause when the total power criterion is met, a preset threshold value can be set on a controller of the equipment, and whether the kitchen equipment is paused or not is determined by judging whether the first total power reaches the preset threshold value or not. The values of the preset threshold are different according to different scenes, and can be set according to the available power of the power supply circuit where the control device is located in the equipment. Specifically, the available power of the power supply circuit may be set to a preset threshold, or a partial power value of the available power of the power supply circuit may be used as the preset threshold. For example, assuming that the power available to the power supply circuit is 14 kilowatts, 14 kilowatts may be used as the preset threshold, or 90% of 14 kilowatts, i.e., 12.6 kilowatts, may be used as the preset threshold. The present invention does not specifically limit the manner in which the preset threshold is set.

In this way, the first total power is compared with the preset threshold, and if the first total power is smaller than the preset threshold, it indicates that the at least two kitchen devices can operate normally, and no pressure is applied to the power supply circuit, and the at least two kitchen devices keep operating continuously in the current operating state, that is, the following step 203 is performed. If the first total power is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the operation of at least two kitchen devices will cause stress on the power supply circuit, and a pause operation needs to be performed on a part of the kitchen devices, that is, steps 204 to 205 are performed.

203. And if the first total power is smaller than the preset threshold value, the at least two kitchen devices keep the current working state and continue to operate.

In the embodiment of the invention, if the first total power is less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the at least two kitchen devices can normally operate, and no pressure is applied to the power supply circuit, and the at least two kitchen devices keep the current working state to continuously operate.

204. And if the first total power is larger than or equal to the preset threshold value, suspending at least one kitchen device in the at least two kitchen devices.

In the embodiment of the invention, if the first total power is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the operation of at least two kitchen devices may cause stress on the power supply circuit, and a pause operation needs to be performed on a part of the kitchen devices. When the pause operation is executed, since the pause device is set for each kitchen device in the kitchen device control system, the device central control can control the pause device of at least one kitchen device, and the operation of at least one kitchen device is paused. Considering that some kitchen devices may perform cooking tasks at the moment in a relatively important stage in a dish making process such as stir-frying, if the operation of the kitchen devices is temporarily stopped, the taste of the dishes is likely to be affected, therefore, the importance degree of the cooking tasks can be set in the device central control, the sequence of the suspension of the cooking tasks is indicated based on the importance degree, and the kitchen devices which perform the cooking tasks are temporarily stopped according to the importance degree. The device central control can set an importance level list as shown in table 1, and query the corresponding importance level in the importance level list according to the name of the cooking task. It should be noted that the number of cooking tasks corresponding to each importance level may be one or more, and may be set in the control of the apparatus by the user. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of storing the correspondence between the cooking task and the importance level.

TABLE 1

Cooking task	Degree of importance
		Quick-fried food	High (1)
Steaming and boiling	Middle (2)
		Blanching water	Low (3)
…	…

In addition, since only one cooking task is involved in some recipe tasks, the importance level may also be set according to the recipe type of the recipe task, for example, the importance level of the recipe task in which the recipe type is a pan type is set to high (1); setting the importance degree of the menu task with the menu type as the porridge cooking type as middle (2); the importance level of the recipe task for which the recipe type is the soup-making type is set to low (3) and so on. Or the importance degree marked when the menu task is issued can be directly used as the importance degree of the cooking task, or the importance degree of the menu task needing to be served first can be set to be high level and the importance degree of the menu task capable of being served later can be set to be low level according to the serving sequence of the menu task. The manner in which the importance of the cooking task is set is not particularly limited.

In order to determine which kitchen devices are suspended, it is necessary to acquire a cooking task of each kitchen device that is being operated or is to be operated, and extract at least one kitchen device among the at least two kitchen devices to perform the suspending operation by inquiring the importance level of the cooking task. Specifically, first, the cooking tasks of the at least two kitchen devices may be queried according to the identification information or device addresses of the at least two kitchen devices; subsequently, the importance levels of the cooking tasks are searched for in the importance level list, a kitchen device of the at least two kitchen devices, which has a lower importance level of the cooking task than the other kitchen devices, is used as the at least one kitchen device, i.e., the kitchen device with the lowest importance level of the cooking task is used as the at least one kitchen device, and the at least one kitchen device is suspended. The specific number of the at least one kitchen device can be set by a default of the device central control, or set by a user, or can be suspended by the device central control one by one according to the sequence of the importance degrees from low to high until the total power of the at least two kitchen devices is no longer higher than a preset threshold.

When the at least one kitchen appliance is determined, the at least one kitchen appliance may be suspended according to the importance of the cooking task. In particular, firstly, the cooking task of a first kitchen device of the at least one kitchen device is suspended according to the importance level of the cooking task of the at least one kitchen device, wherein the importance level of the cooking task of the first kitchen device is lower than the importance level of the cooking tasks of the other kitchen devices of the at least one kitchen device, i.e. the importance level of the cooking task of the first kitchen device is lowest in the at least one kitchen device. Subsequently, the cooking tasks of the second kitchen appliance are simultaneously or sequentially suspended until the total power of the at least two kitchen appliances is less than a predetermined threshold value, wherein the cooking task of the second kitchen appliance is more important than the cooking task of the first kitchen appliance and less important than the cooking tasks of the other kitchen appliances of the at least one kitchen appliance, i.e. the cooking task of the second kitchen appliance is of the lowest importance of the remaining kitchen appliances of the at least one kitchen appliance.

In the practical application process, a third kitchen device may exist in at least one kitchen device, wherein the importance degree of the cooking task is consistent with that of the second kitchen device, and at this time, when the kitchen device is suspended, the task power of the cooking tasks of the second kitchen device and the third kitchen device needs to be acquired, the cooking task of the kitchen device with higher task power in the second kitchen device and the third kitchen device is suspended firstly, and then the cooking task of the kitchen device with lower task power is suspended simultaneously or sequentially according to the total power of at least two kitchen devices at present.

In addition, considering that sometimes the time of the peak power is too long, if the cooking task of the kitchen equipment is suspended for a long time, the taste of the dishes made by the kitchen equipment can be influenced, for example, if the cooking task of the cooking equipment is suspended for a long time, the dishes made by the cooking equipment can be too heavy in taste due to long-time soaking, therefore, a suspending time length list can be set according to the influence degree of the cooking task on the quality of the dishes, the preset time length for which each cooking task can be suspended is specified, and when the suspending reaches the preset time length, the suspended equipment is resumed to continue to execute the cooking task, and other kitchen equipment is continuously suspended, so that the influence on the taste of the dishes is reduced to the minimum.

The pause time length list shown in table 2 may be set in the apparatus center control, and the correspondence between the cooking task and the preset pause time length may be stored based on the pause time length list. It should be noted that the preset pause duration may be set in the central control of the device by the user, and the manner of storing the corresponding relationship between the cooking task and the preset pause duration is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

TABLE 2

Cooking task	Presetting time-out duration
		Steaming and boiling	60 seconds
Blanching water	90 seconds
		…	…

In this way, when the pause operation of at least one kitchen device is executed, the central control unit of the device firstly obtains the preset pause duration corresponding to the cooking task of at least one kitchen device according to a plurality of preset pause durations included in the pause duration list; and then, pausing the cooking task of the first kitchen equipment for a preset pause time corresponding to the cooking task of the first kitchen equipment, and pausing the cooking task of the second kitchen equipment for a preset pause time corresponding to the cooking task of the second kitchen equipment simultaneously or sequentially.

In practice, the mechanism for suspending kitchen devices simultaneously or sequentially as mentioned in the present embodiment may be determined according to different circumstances, i.e. whether at least one kitchen device is suspended simultaneously or at least one kitchen device is suspended sequentially according to the total power in the scene. Specifically, if the total power of at least two kitchen devices is still greater than the preset threshold value after the first kitchen device is suspended, the second kitchen device may be directly and simultaneously suspended until the total power is less than the preset threshold value without waiting until the first kitchen device is suspended. Or, if the pause time of the first kitchen device reaches the preset pause time, the first kitchen device is paused completely and resumes operation in order to continue to make dishes, and at this time, if the total power of at least two kitchen devices is still greater than the preset threshold, the second kitchen device may be paused in sequence. The present invention is not particularly limited to pausing at least one kitchen appliance simultaneously or sequentially.

205. Resuming operation of the at least one kitchen appliance.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the cooking task of the at least one kitchen device is not completed yet, in order to complete the preparation of the dish, the at least one kitchen device is subsequently resumed to continue to operate, so that the sum of the time power of the at least two kitchen devices after the cooking task of the at least one kitchen device is suspended and the task power of the cooking task suspended by the at least one kitchen device needs to be counted again as the second total power, and if the second total power is less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the load of the power supply circuit is not exceeded by the simultaneous operation of the at least two kitchen devices, and then the at least one kitchen device may be resumed to continue to operate.

When at least one kitchen device is resumed to continue to operate, the kitchen device with the higher importance of the cooking task, that is, the second kitchen device or the third kitchen device mentioned in step 204 above, may be resumed to continue to operate. Specifically, when the second kitchen device or the third kitchen device is resumed to operate, the kitchen device with lower task power in the second kitchen device and the third kitchen device needs to be resumed first, and another kitchen device with higher task power needs to be executed according to the power that can be carried by the power supply circuit until the second kitchen device and the third kitchen device both resume to operate. And then, counting the sum of the moment power of the at least two kitchen devices after the kitchen devices are resumed to continue to operate and the task power of the suspended cooking tasks of the kitchen devices as a third total power of the at least two kitchen devices, and resuming the first kitchen device to continue to operate if the third total power is less than a preset threshold value.

In addition, the cooking task of each kitchen device has the preset pause time, so that the preset pause time corresponding to the cooking task of at least one kitchen device in the pause time list is obtained, the pause time of at least one kitchen device is obtained, and if the pause time of at least one kitchen device is greater than or equal to the preset pause time, the at least one kitchen device is resumed to continue to operate, so that the influence on the taste of dishes caused by long-time pause of the cooking task is avoided.

Specifically, for each kitchen device, when the operation of the kitchen device is resumed, the temperature of the kitchen device may be heated to the temperature before the pause, and then, when the temperature of the kitchen device reaches the temperature before the pause, the task performed by the kitchen device during the pause may be continuously performed. If the kitchen appliance has already performed a portion of the cooking task while suspended, the remaining portion of the cooking task may continue to be performed. For example, assuming that the heating time of the kitchen device X in step one is 60s, if the kitchen device X has performed the step one for 10s while the kitchen device X is suspended, the kitchen device X may continue to perform the remaining 50s while the operation of the kitchen device X is resumed.

Considering that the residual temperature of the kitchen appliance is still heating the dishes when the kitchen appliance is suspended, the rest part of the cooking task can be properly reduced according to the time length of the suspension when the kitchen appliance is resumed. Specifically, a reduction ratio proportional to the pause duration may be set for different pause durations, the remaining portion may be reduced according to the reduction ratio corresponding to the pause duration, and the kitchen device may be controlled to execute the reduced portion. Continuing with the above example, assuming that the pause duration of the kitchen device X is 30 seconds and the corresponding reduction ratio of the pause duration is 10%, the remaining 50s of the kitchen device X in step one is subtracted by 5s (i.e. 10% of 50 s) to obtain 45s, and the kitchen device X continues to execute the remaining 45 s.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, the process of obtaining at least one kitchen device for suspension is determined according to the cooking task performed by the kitchen device, and in the practical application process, the power of some kitchen devices is not changed along with the performing process of the cooking task, such as a range hood, a dishwasher, etc., therefore, when suspending these kitchen devices, the rated operating power or the common operating power of these kitchen devices can be considered, and the rated operating power or the common operating power is taken as the basis for selecting at least one kitchen device. For such kitchen appliances, the cooking of the dishes is not really affected, and therefore, in the case of prolonged high-power dwellings, it is conceivable to switch off such kitchen appliances.

In the practical application process, when at least one kitchen device is suspended, it is likely that a user wishes to add a new kitchen device to perform a new cooking task, and at this time, the controller in the device may determine whether the new kitchen device can be added to operate according to task power of the cooking task and total power of at least two kitchen devices currently, that is, the total power of the new kitchen device performing its own cooking task may not be greater than the preset threshold. The control in the appliance may directly control the operation of the new kitchen appliance if the new kitchen appliance will not perform its own cooking task with a total power greater than a preset threshold. If the total power of the new kitchen equipment executing the cooking task is larger than the preset threshold value, the equipment central control can select kitchen equipment with lower importance degree and capable of meeting the normal operation of the new kitchen equipment after suspension to suspend according to the task power of the new kitchen equipment executing the cooking task by executing the processes from the step 201 to the step 204, and control the operation of the new kitchen equipment; or, the device central control may predict the total power of at least two kitchen devices through the process of analyzing the recipe task in step 201, predict at which time point the total power is not greater than the preset threshold, and the remaining space of power may satisfy the normal operation of the new kitchen device, and control the operation of the new kitchen device at the time point, thereby ensuring that the total power of the power supply circuit in the whole working process is within the tolerable range, so as to reduce the risk of fire.

In another embodiment, at least one of the at least two kitchen devices may be suspended, or priorities of device types of the at least two kitchen devices may be obtained, where the priorities are used to indicate a suspension order of the cooking devices, and when the total power exceeds a preset threshold, the cooking device with a low priority may be suspended, and a suspension mode, a recovery mode, and a suspension duration of the cooking device are equal to the suspension and recovery according to the priority of the cooking task, which is not repeated herein.
