Wherein, the system can generate the judgment results of the step S3 and the step S7 according to the signals of the position sensor by arranging the position sensor in the middle space 100. And if the judgment result of the step S3 and the step S7 is negative, carrying out the cycle failure judgment of the judgment step.
And when the judgment result of the step S3 is yes, the system executes the step S4 to close the corresponding exhaust structure. Since the first vent hole set 171, the second vent hole set 172 and the third vent hole 173 of the dual-purpose pot of the embodiment are all vent structures with opening degrees that can be controlled by the system, the opening degrees of the plurality of vent structures can be controlled by the system in the control method of the embodiment. Further, since the system enters the air fryer mode at this time, to facilitate the circulation of the hot air flow, the system will completely close the third air outlet 173, open the second air outlet group 172 with the maximum opening, open the first air outlet group 171 with the smaller opening, or completely close the first air outlet group 171 when executing step S4. Step S5 is then performed to activate the heat generating device 4 and the fan 3, and the heat generating device 4 is operated with a higher second power and the fan 3 is operated with a lower fourth power.
And when the judgment result of the step S7 is yes, the system executes the step S8 to close the corresponding exhaust structure. Since the system enters the electric cooker mode at this time, the system performs step S8 to completely close the second vent hole group 172, open the first vent hole group 171 at the maximum opening, and completely open the third vent hole 173, and the pot 1 can be vented through the vent valve 6. Step S9 is then performed to activate the heat generating device 4 and the fan 3, and the heat generating device 4 is operated with a lower first power and the fan 3 is operated with a higher third power.
In other control method embodiments, one or more of the plurality of exhaust structures may not be completely shut down, but the opening degree of the same exhaust structure is different between the air fryer mode and the rice cooker mode. For example, controlling the first exhaust structure to a first opening, controlling the second exhaust structure to a second opening, and controlling the third exhaust structure to a third opening; in the air fryer mode, controlling the first exhaust structure to the fourth opening degree, controlling the second exhaust structure to the fifth opening degree and controlling the third exhaust structure to the sixth opening degree; the first opening is larger than the fourth opening, the second opening is smaller than the fifth opening, and the third opening is larger than the sixth opening.
In other control method embodiments, the plurality of vent structures are not provided with corresponding driving means and are manually controlled by a user, and the system does not control the opening of the vent structures after determining that the container reaches the installation position.
Finally, it should be emphasized that the foregoing description is merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the invention, and that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention, and any such modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
