Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather should be construed as broadly as the present invention is capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an electric rice cooker, including:
step S110, in the boiling stage, acquiring the bottom temperature of the electric cooker in real time, wherein the bottom temperature is the temperature of the outer side wall of the bottom area of the inner pot of the electric cooker.
And step S120, after the bottom temperature of the electric cooker reaches the limited temperature, adjusting the heating power of the electric cooker in real time so as to enable the running time of the electric cooker in the boiling stage to reach the expected set time.
It can be understood that when the rice cooker is in a boiling stage and meets different normal temperatures, the traditional method for judging two limited temperature values cannot ensure the running time of the boiling stage, and the running time of the boiling stage is not enough, so that the cooking effect of food is not good. In the embodiment, when the abnormal temperature rise is met in the boiling stage and the bottom temperature of the electric cooker reaches or exceeds the limited temperature, the heating power of the electric cooker is adjusted in real time so as to ensure that the current stage exits after the cooking time reaches the expected set time, the requirements of the cooking time and the cooking temperature of the cooked food are met, and the food cooking effect can reach the expectation.
Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the adjusting the heating power of the rice cooker in real time includes:
step S121, adjusting the heating power to a preset power for heating;
step S122, judging whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold value, wherein the first temperature threshold value is greater than the limit temperature;
step S123, if the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, stopping heating;
step S124, judging whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold value, wherein the second temperature threshold value is greater than the limited temperature and less than the first temperature threshold value;
step S125, when the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is judged to be less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the step S121 is returned to.
In this embodiment, the temperature sensing element is disposed at the bottom of the electric cooker to detect the bottom temperature of the electric cooker in real time.
The method comprises the steps of starting the cooking function of the electric cooker, detecting the bottom temperature of the electric cooker in real time, setting a limited temperature value T0 through a logic control program when a temperature sensing element detects abnormal temperature and normal temperature in the boiling stage of the electric cooker in the cooking process, and receiving information and controlling a heating mode to be converted into a temperature range (a second temperature threshold value T2-a first temperature threshold value T1) for control according to a judgment result when the temperature reaches the limited temperature value T0, wherein T1 is more than T2 and more than T0. The specific process is as follows:
step one, adjusting the heating power of the electric cooker to a preset power for heating.
And step two, judging whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold T1 when the electric cooker is in the temperature rising process. If the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold T1, the heating power is reduced to 0, heating is stopped, and the phenomenon that the electric cooker is triggered to exit the boiling stage due to continuous temperature rise caused by heat accumulation is avoided. If the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is less than the first temperature threshold value T1, the electric cooker is continuously heated with the preset power.
And step three, after the heating is stopped, the electric cooker enters a cooling process, and whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is smaller than or equal to the second temperature threshold T2 or not is judged. And when the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is judged to be less than or equal to the second temperature threshold value T2, readjusting the heating power of the electric cooker to the preset power for heating. If the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than the second temperature threshold value T2, the heating stop state is continuously kept, so that the electric cooker is in a continuous cooling process.
It can be understood that in the boiling and heating process, the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is always kept in a temperature range (T2-T1), and abnormal temperature rise cannot cause the suspension of the cooking process, so that the problems that when the electric cooker encounters abnormal temperature rise in the boiling stage, the operating time of the boiling stage cannot be ensured due to the adoption of a judging method of two limited temperature values, and the food cooking effect is poor due to insufficient operating time of the boiling stage are solved.
With continued reference to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the method for controlling an electric rice cooker further includes:
step S130, starting timing after the bottom temperature of the electric cooker reaches the limit temperature;
step S140, judging whether the timing duration is greater than the expected set time;
step S150, and exiting the boiling stage when the timed duration is determined to be greater than the expected set time.
It can be understood that, in the invention, a limited temperature value T0 is set through a logic control program, when the temperature reaches the limited temperature value T0, according to the judgment result, the control program receives information and controls the heating mode to be switched to the temperature range (T2-T1) control, so that the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is always kept in the temperature range (T2-T1) in the boiling heating process, and the electric cooker can not be triggered to exit the boiling stage by the temperature. In this embodiment, the timing is started after the bottom temperature of the electric cooker reaches the limit temperature, and the boiling stage is exited when the timing duration t is determined to be greater than the expected set time t0, so that the problem that the cooking effect of food is poor due to the fact that the cooking time is too long is avoided.
Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment, the adjusting the heating power of the rice cooker in real time includes:
step S120a, heating continuously at the current heating power;
step S120b, judging whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is larger than or equal to a first temperature threshold value, wherein the first temperature threshold value is larger than the limit temperature;
step S120c, if the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, stopping heating;
step S120d, determining whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, wherein the second temperature threshold is greater than the limit temperature and less than the first temperature threshold;
step S120e, when the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is judged to be less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, adjusting the heating power to the preset power for heating, and returning to step S120 b.
In this embodiment, when the temperature reaches the limit temperature value T0, according to the determination result, the control program receives the information and controls the heating mode to be switched to the temperature interval control, and the specific process includes:
1) if the bottom temperature reaches the limit temperature value T0 and the heating is performed at the heating power P0, the current heating power P0 is maintained to perform continuous heating after the bottom temperature reaches the limit temperature value T0.
2) And continuously increasing the bottom temperature of the electric cooker, and judging whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold T1. If the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold T1, the heating power is reduced to 0, heating is stopped, and the phenomenon that the electric cooker is triggered to exit the boiling stage due to continuous temperature rise caused by heat accumulation is avoided. If the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is less than the first temperature threshold value T1, the electric cooker is continuously heated at the current power.
3) And after the heating is stopped, the electric cooker enters a cooling process, and whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is smaller than or equal to the second temperature threshold T2 at present is judged. When the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is judged to be less than or equal to the second temperature threshold T2, adjusting the heating power of the electric cooker to a preset power for heating, and returning to the step 2); it should be noted that, when it is determined again that the bottom temperature T is less than the first temperature threshold T1, and the heating is continued with the current power, the current heating power is the preset power. If the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than the second temperature threshold value T2, the heating stop state is continuously kept, so that the electric cooker is in a continuous cooling process.
With reference to fig. 3, the method for controlling an electric rice cooker further includes:
step S160, recording the times N of the electric cooker reaching the heating power adjustment critical point, wherein the times N of the heating power adjustment critical point is any one of the times of adjusting the electric cooker to the preset power, the times of stopping heating, the times of the temperature of the bottom of the electric cooker reaching the first temperature threshold and the times of cooling the bottom of the electric cooker to the second temperature threshold;
step S170, determining whether the number N of times of the heating power adjustment critical point is greater than or equal to a preset number threshold N0;
in step S180, when the number N of times of adjusting the critical point of the heating power is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold N0, the boiling stage is exited.
It can be understood that, when the heating power is constant, the time required for each heating process differs a little, and the time required for each cooling process can also be considered to be the same, so that the duration time of the boiling process can be estimated according to the times of heating and cooling, and the boiling stage is exited by setting the number N of times of the heating power adjustment critical point, and then judging that the number N of times of the heating power adjustment critical point is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold N0, thereby avoiding the problem that the cooking effect of the food is poor due to the fact that the cooking time is too long.
The specific strategy of temperature interval control is not necessarily related to the strategy of triggering the electric cooker to exit the boiling stage, so the temperature interval control strategy can be combined with the strategy of triggering the electric cooker to exit the boiling stage at will.
In one embodiment, the control method of the electric cooker further comprises the following steps:
and when the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is lower than the limited temperature, heating with normal heating power, wherein the normal heating power is higher than the preset power.

In one embodiment, the main control module 520 includes a comparison unit 521 and an execution unit 522.

In this embodiment, the heating power is reduced to 0 and the heating is stopped by determining whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold T1 during the temperature rising process and whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold T1. And judging whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker in the cooling process is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold T2, and when the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold T2, readjusting the heating power of the electric cooker to the preset power for heating, so that the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is always kept in a temperature range (T2-T1), and the abnormal temperature rise cannot cause the suspension of the cooking process, thereby solving the problems that the operating time of the boiling stage cannot be ensured by adopting a method for judging two limited temperature values when the electric cooker encounters abnormal temperature rise in the boiling stage, and the food cooking effect is poor due to the insufficient operating time of the boiling stage.
In one embodiment, the comparing unit 521 is used for determining whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker reaches a defined temperature, determining whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, and determining whether the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is less than or equal to a second temperature threshold, wherein the second temperature threshold is greater than the defined temperature and less than the second temperature threshold; the execution unit 522 is configured to continue heating with the current heating power after determining that the bottom temperature of the electric cooker reaches the limit temperature, stop heating when the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold in the temperature rising process, and adjust the heating power of the electric cooker to the preset power for heating when the bottom temperature of the electric cooker is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold in the temperature lowering process.

After heating is stopped, the electric cooker enters a cooling process, a comparison unit 521 is used for judging whether the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is smaller than or equal to a second temperature threshold value T2, when the bottom temperature T of the electric cooker is smaller than or equal to a second temperature threshold value T2, the heating power of the electric cooker is adjusted to be preset power for heating, and the electric cooker enters a heating process; it should be noted that, when it is determined again that the bottom temperature T is less than the first temperature threshold T1, and the heating is continued with the current power, the current heating power is the preset power.
