The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

A control method of the cooking appliance 100 and the cooking appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

As shown in fig. 2 to 3, the cooking appliance 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a body part 110, a food material feeding mechanism 120 and a liquid feeding mechanism 130. The main body 110 has a cooking cavity 101 therein, and the food material feeding mechanism 120 selectively injects materials, such as rice, into the cooking cavity 101; the liquid feed mechanism 130 can selectively inject liquid into the pan or discharge liquid. In the following embodiments, the control method is described by taking the food material as rice and the liquid as water as examples, and it is understood that the food material in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to rice and the liquid is not limited to water.

Specifically, the body part 110 includes a pot body 111 and a pot cover 112, the pot body 111 and the pot cover 112 define the cooking cavity 101, a pot body is provided in the pot body 111, an upper end of the pot body is opened, and the pot cover 112 is rotatably provided on the pot body 111 to open or close the pot body, thereby making the cooking cavity 101 in a sealed state or an open state. When the pot cover 112 closes the pot body 111, the cooking cavity 101 is in a closed state, the food material feeding mechanism 120 can inject rice into the pot body, the liquid feeding mechanism 130 can inject water into the pot body first, after the rice in the pot body is cleaned, the liquid feeding mechanism 130 can extract waste water generated after rice washing in the pot body, rice washing actions can be repeated for many times, and after the food material in the pot body is cleaned, the liquid feeding mechanism 130 can continue to inject water into the pot body to prepare for a cooking process.

As shown in fig. 1, a method of controlling a cooking appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the steps of:

the food material feeding mechanism 120 injects rice into the cooking cavity 101;

in the process of injecting the food material into the cooking cavity 101 by the food material feeding mechanism 120, the liquid feeding mechanism 130 injects the liquid into the pot body 111.

That is, the material feeding mechanism 120 overlaps the pot body 111 during the process of injecting the material and the liquid feeding mechanism 130 injecting the liquid into the pot body 111, and the material injecting operation and the water injecting operation are performed simultaneously for a certain period of time.

Therefore, the rice can be prevented from being accumulated in the pot body, the rice is easier to clean, the rice is not easy to cake in the pot body, and the cooked rice is better in taste. In addition, the water injection action and the material injection action are carried out simultaneously, the rice washing time can be greatly reduced, the cooking time is shortened, the cooking appliance 100 can cook rice in less time, and therefore the use experience of a user is improved.

According to the control method of the cooking appliance 100 of the present invention, since the food material feeding mechanism 120 injects water into the pot body while injecting the material into the pot body, the liquid feeding mechanism 130 can also inject water into the pot body, so that rice can be effectively prevented from being accumulated at the bottom of the pot body, rice can be more easily cleaned, the rice is less likely to cake in the pot body, and the cooked rice has better taste. In addition, since the material injection process and the water injection process can be performed simultaneously, the rice washing time can be greatly reduced, the cooking time is reduced, and the cooking appliance 100 can cook rice in less time, thereby improving the use experience of the user.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the starting time of the food material feeding mechanism 120 injecting the material into the cooking cavity 101 is t1, the ending time of the food material feeding mechanism 120 injecting the material into the cooking cavity 101 is t2, the starting time of the liquid feeding mechanism 130 injecting the liquid into the cooking cavity 101 is t3, and the t3, the t2 and the t1 satisfy: t1 is not less than t3 and is less than t 2.

When t3 is t1, rice is injected into the cooking cavity 101 together with water, so that the process of filling water while adding food is realized. This has advantages in that the rice is prevented from being accumulated at the bottom of the cooking chamber 101 to the maximum extent, the rice is more easily washed, and the rice is not caked at the bottom of the cooking chamber 101, thus being washed more thoroughly.

At t3 > t1, the water injection is initiated later than the material injection, i.e., after a period of time during which the material is injected into the cooking chamber 101, the water is injected into the cooking chamber 101. Thereby, both guaranteed can not pile up in time scattering the rice when the diapire of culinary art chamber 101 completely at the rice, can avoid long-time to culinary art chamber 101 internal water injection, extravagant water resource again.

It should be noted that the liquid feeding mechanism 130 in the embodiment of the present invention is used to feed the liquid into the cooking cavity 101 in an amount that ensures that the rice washing requirement and the cooking requirement can be achieved.

Further, the t3, the t2, and the t1 satisfy: (2t1+ t2)/3 ≤ t3 < t 2. The time length of the food material feeding mechanism 120 for injecting the food material into the cooking cavity 101 is t2-t1, and the starting time of the liquid feeding mechanism 130 for injecting the liquid into the cooking cavity 101 is not less than t1+ (t2-t 1)/3.

After a plurality of experiments, the inventor finds that when the t3, the t2 and the t1 meet the conditions, the rice washing process is easier and the washing is more thorough, the rice grains injected into the cooking cavity 101 can be prevented from caking, and the taste of the cooked rice is greatly improved. In addition, when t3, t2 and t1 satisfy the above conditions, not only can rice be thoroughly cleaned, but also the phenomenon of wasting water resources can be avoided.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the end time of the operation of the liquid feeding mechanism 130 is t4, and the t4, the t3 and the t2 satisfy: t3 is more than t4 and less than or equal to t 2. That is, the water injection time for washing rice needs to be finished before the material injection process is finished, and the material injection process still needs to be continued for a while after the water injection process is finished.

Therefore, the phenomenon that rice is accumulated in the cooking cavity 101 and rice grains are agglomerated and further the taste of rice is affected in the process of washing the rice is avoided. In addition, after the liquid feeding mechanism 130 stops filling water into the cooking cavity 101, the food feeding mechanism 120 still feeds rice into the cooking cavity 101, and the rice at this time is directly scattered in the water, so that the phenomenon of accumulating at one position of the cooking cavity 101 does not occur.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the end time of the operation of the liquid feeding mechanism 130 is t4, and the t4 and the t2 satisfy: t4 > t 2. That is, after the food material feeding mechanism 120 stops injecting the food material into the cooking cavity 101, the liquid feeding mechanism 130 continues to inject the water into the cooking cavity 101. From this, can guarantee that liquid conveyor lasts to the rice that erodees in the culinary art chamber 101 for the rice washs more thoroughly.

It should be noted that, after the amount of the cooking rice is determined, the amount of the washing water and the amount of the cooking water are also determined. The time for finishing the water injection can be changed by adjusting the water injection speed of the liquid feeding mechanism 130, so that the relationship between the time for finishing the water injection and the time for finishing the material injection can be adjusted. Similarly, the time for ending the material injection may be adjusted by adjusting the material injection speed of the food material feeding mechanism 120, so as to adjust the relationship between the time for ending the water injection and the time for ending the material injection.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the t1, the t2, the t3 and the t4 satisfy: t2-t1 is not less than t4-t 3. That is, the time period for filling the cooking cavity 101 with water by the liquid feeding mechanism 130 is longer than the time period for filling the food material feeding mechanism 120. Sufficient water can enter into the cooking cavity 101 to wash the food in the cooking cavity 101, and the food in the cooking cavity 101 can be sufficiently washed, so that the cooking appliance 100 can cook healthier food.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid feed mechanism 130 intermittently injects liquid into the cooking chamber 101. Therefore, the food in the cooking cavity 101 can be sufficiently cleaned, the amount of water used for cleaning the food can be reduced, and the use cost of the cooking appliance 100 is reduced.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the speed of the food material feeding mechanism 120 injecting the material into the cooking cavity 101 is adjustable, and the speed of the liquid feeding mechanism 130 injecting the liquid into the cooking cavity 101 is adjustable. Thus, the time for finishing the water injection can be changed by adjusting the water injection speed of the liquid feeding mechanism 130, and the relationship between the time for finishing the water injection and the time for finishing the material injection can be adjusted. Similarly, the time for ending the material injection may be adjusted by adjusting the material injection speed of the food material feeding mechanism 120, so as to adjust the relationship between the time for ending the water injection and the time for ending the material injection.

It should be noted that the liquid feeding mechanism 130 of the present invention is connected to an external water source through a pipeline connecting structure 140. Specifically, the pipeline connecting structure 140 may be a magnetic attraction structure to achieve quick assembly and disassembly.

As shown in fig. 5, the pipeline connecting structure 140 may include a first connecting pipe 141 and a first magnetic member 142 disposed on the body, and also include a second connecting pipe 143 and a second magnetic member 144 disposed on the second connecting pipe 143, wherein one end of the second magnetic member 144 facing the first connecting pipe 141 is provided with a groove 102, one end of the second connecting pipe 143 is connected to the groove 102, and a sealing ring 145 is disposed in the groove 102 to hermetically connect the first connecting pipe 141 and the second connecting pipe 143 when the first magnetic member 142 and the second magnetic member 144 are attached. Alternatively, the second magnetic member 144 may be provided on the connection joint 146.

When a water source needs to be supplied to the liquid feeding mechanism, the second magnetic member 144 is aligned with the first magnetic member 142, and the two are tightly attached to each other under the action of magnetic force. Meanwhile, the first connection pipe 141 protrudes into the groove 102 and is sealed by the sealing ring 145, so that the first connection pipe 141 and the second connection pipe 143 are hermetically connected, and water in the second connection pipe 143 can enter the first connection pipe 141. Because the pipeline connecting structure 140 adopts the principle of magnetic attraction, the installation and the disassembly are very convenient.
