Step 201, obtaining a corresponding working mode of a cooking appliance;

the specific process is as described above, and will not be described here again.

Step 202, controlling a heating device to heat according to heating information corresponding to a working mode so as to heat the cavity temperature of the cooking utensil;

In an embodiment of the present application, for example, when the cooking appliance is powered on and in a starting state, a working mode corresponding to the cooking appliance may be obtained. When a starting instruction for the working mode is received, the heating device is controlled to heat according to heating information corresponding to the working mode so as to heat the cavity temperature of the cooking utensil.

Step 203, controlling an exhaust port of the cooking utensil to be in a closed state through the thermal expansion metal sheet in the process of heating the cavity body to the first temperature;

according to some embodiments, the first temperature may be, for example, a preset temperature, such as one of the temperatures that may be used to determine the open and closed state of the exhaust port. The first temperature may be, for example, a first temperature at which the state of the exhaust port changes during heating. The first temperature is not particularly limited to a certain fixed temperature. For example, when the specific temperature value corresponding to the first temperature changes, the first temperature may also change accordingly. For example, when a temperature modification instruction for the first temperature is received, the first temperature may also be changed accordingly. Wherein the first temperature may be, for example, 80 ℃.

According to some embodiments, the temperature of the cavity is raised to the first temperature, for example, from room temperature to the first temperature or from the cavity temperature when the cooking appliance receives an operation mode initiation instruction.

According to some embodiments, the exhaust port of the cooking appliance being in a closed state may be, for example, a state that does not exclude water vapor.

In some embodiments, the exhaust port of the cooking appliance may be controlled to be in a closed state by the thermally expanded metal sheet, for example, during the temperature rise of the cavity to the first temperature.

Step 204, controlling an exhaust port of the cooking utensil to be in an open state through the thermal expansion metal sheet in the process that the temperature of the cavity is increased from the first temperature to the second temperature;

according to some embodiments, the second temperature refers to a temperature after the first temperature increases, wherein the second temperature may be, for example, a temperature at which the liquid in the cavity may be in a boiling state. The second temperature is not particularly limited to a certain fixed temperature. For example, when the kind of liquid in the cavity changes, the second temperature may also change accordingly. Wherein the second temperature may be, for example, 110 ℃. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.

According to some embodiments, the exhaust port of the cooking appliance being in an open state may include, for example, the exhaust port of the cooking appliance being continuously opened until the exhaust port of the cooking appliance is in a fully opened state. The continuous opening may mean that the size of the exhaust port is gradually opened from small to large, for example. The continuous opening process can be determined, for example, by deformation of the thermally expanded metal sheet.

In some embodiments, in the process of heating the cavity from the first temperature to the second temperature, the air outlet of the cooking appliance is controlled to be in an opened state by the thermal expansion metal sheet, and the opening of the air outlet is controlled to be continuously opened, so that the cooking appliance is in a cooking state.

In one embodiment of the present application, the duration of the opening state of the exhaust port of the cooking appliance may be, for example, a first duration threshold. The first time period threshold may be, for example, a threshold for determining whether or not the cooking time period reaches a threshold for cooking the food material. The first time length threshold is not specific to a certain fixed threshold. For example, when a modification instruction for the first time length threshold is received, the first time length threshold may also be changed accordingly. For example, when the food material changes, the first time threshold may also change accordingly.

In some embodiments, the cooking time period may refer to, for example, a time period during which the cavity temperature is varied between a tenth temperature and a second temperature. Wherein, for example, different kinds of food materials may correspond to different first time length thresholds.

According to some embodiments, the method further comprises:

controlling the temperature of the cavity to rise to a tenth temperature at a first temperature rising rate;

the temperature of the cavity is controlled to rise from the tenth temperature to the first temperature at a second rising rate. Therefore, the food materials can be soaked and heated, and the exhaust port is in a closed state in the process, so that the heating time can be reduced, and the cooking effect of the food materials is improved.

The temperature may be raised from the room temperature to the tenth temperature at a first temperature raising rate and then from the tenth temperature to the first temperature at a second temperature raising rate, for example. The first temperature rise rate may be equal to or less than the second temperature rise rate, for example. Specific numerical values of the first temperature rising rate and the second temperature rising rate are not limited in the embodiment of the application.

According to some embodiments, controlling an exhaust port of a cooking appliance to be in an open state by a thermally expanded metal sheet during a process of increasing a temperature of a cavity from a first temperature to a second temperature includes:

in the process of heating the temperature of the cavity from the first temperature to a fourth temperature, controlling the opening of the exhaust port of the cooker to be continuously opened through the thermal expansion metal sheet until the exhaust port is in a complete opening state, wherein the fourth temperature is higher than the first temperature and lower than the second temperature;

during the change of the cavity temperature at the second temperature and the fourth temperature, the exhaust port of the cooking utensil is controlled to be in a completely opened state by the thermal expansion metal sheet. Therefore, the state of the exhaust port of the cooking utensil can be controlled through the change of temperature, and the accuracy of determining the state of the exhaust port is improved.

Wherein the third temperature may for example be used to indicate the temperature of the liquid in boiling state. The third of the third temperatures is only used to distinguish from the remaining temperatures. Wherein the third temperature may be, for example, 100 ℃.

In step 205, during the process of the temperature of the cavity decreasing from the second temperature to the third temperature, the opening of the air outlet is controlled to be continuously closed by the thermal expansion metal sheet until the air outlet of the cooking utensil is in a closed state.

According to some embodiments, the continuous closure of the vent opening may be, for example, a continuous change in deformation of the thermally expanded metal sheet as the cavity temperature decreases, such that the vent opening is continuously closed.

According to some embodiments, for example, in the case that the cooking time period reaches the second time period threshold, the temperature of the cavity is reduced from the third temperature to the fourth temperature, and the opening of the air outlet is controlled to be continuously closed by the thermal expansion metal sheet until the air outlet of the cooking appliance is in a closed state.

According to some embodiments, the second duration threshold may be, for example, the total cooking duration corresponding to the operation mode. For example, the time period from the reception of the start instruction of the operation mode to the completion of cooking may be long. The second time period threshold is not particularly limited to a fixed threshold.

In some embodiments, in the event that the cooking time period reaches a second time period threshold, the cooking is stopped to control the cavity temperature to match the cooking temperature profile corresponding to the operating mode.

In some embodiments, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a background of a cooking temperature curve according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 6A is an exemplary schematic diagram of a method for controlling opening and closing of an exhaust port of a cooking device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 6B is an exemplary schematic diagram of a cooking temperature curve according to an embodiment of the present application. Taking a cooking curve as an example, the first temperature may be T2, the second temperature may be T4, the third temperature may be T5, the fourth temperature may be T3, and the tenth temperature may be T1, for example.

According to some embodiments, when the temperature of the cavity rises from T0 to T2, for example, the soaking stage and the heating stage may be referred to, at this time, the cavity space needs to be ensured to be airtight, so as to ensure that the food material and the water are fully combined, and therefore, the air outlet is in a closed state. When the temperature of the cavity is increased from T2 to T3, the liquid in the cavity reaches the boiling point, and at the moment, water is converted into water vapor, and the specific heat capacity of the water is 1:400, a large amount of water vapor is generated in the cavity, and a large amount of water vapor needs to be discharged, or overflows the cavity, so that the exhaust port is in an open state in the process of raising the temperature to the second temperature in the time period from T3 to T4, i.e. the fourth temperature. Because food characteristic, no matter cook or cook soup, all need the cavity airtight guarantee that moisture evaporates totally or soup cook and go into flavor, so at time T4 temperature begins to cool down, the cavity temperature falls from T4 to T5 to time T5, and the temperature is fixed for a certain fixed temperature interval or a certain temperature again, and the gas vent is in the closed state this moment, guarantees that the intracavity is airtight until accomplishing the culinary art.

For example, rice is taken as an example, after the rice and water are put into a pot in proportion, the rice preparation can be divided into a water absorption stage, a temperature rising stage, a boiling stage and a stewing stage, wherein the water absorption stage and the temperature rising stage require relatively airtight environments to absorb water and heat at a higher speed, and at the moment, the cavity temperature is lower than the first temperature of 80 ℃, for example, a steam control device of the cooking appliance can control an exhaust port to be closed. The boiling stage refers to a period of time after water in a pot boils, a large amount of water vapor is generated by boiling the water in the stage, at this time, a vapor control device of the cooking utensil can control an exhaust port to be in an open state, can discharge extra water vapor in a cavity, and ensures an anti-overflow function, and the temperature is kept between a first temperature and a second temperature, wherein the first temperature can be 65 ℃ for example, and the second temperature can be 110 ℃ for example; after a certain period of time, the cooking device enters a rice stewing stage, and at the moment, a small amount of water and steam are still contained in the pot, the temperature in the pot is reduced to 80 ℃, and a steam control device of the cooking device can control the air outlet to be in a closed state, so that the cavity is in a closed state.

In the embodiment of the application, in the process of heating the cavity temperature to the first temperature, the exhaust port of the cooking utensil is controlled to be in a closed state through the thermal expansion metal sheet; in the process that the temperature of the cavity is increased from the first temperature to the second temperature, the exhaust port of the cooking utensil is controlled to be in an open state through the thermal expansion metal sheet; in the process that the temperature of the cavity is reduced to the third temperature from the second temperature, the opening of the exhaust port is controlled to be continuously closed through the thermal expansion metal sheet until the exhaust port of the cooking appliance is in a closed state, so that when the cooking appliance is in a cooking mode, the opening and closing states of the exhaust port can be adjusted through the thermal expansion metal sheet, a temperature adjusting mechanism in the cooking mode is provided, a motor is not required to change the communication area between the cavity and the outside, and the temperature adjusting complexity and the adjusting cost can be reduced.

In this embodiment, another method for controlling opening and closing of an exhaust port of a cooking device is provided, and fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart of the method for controlling opening and closing of an exhaust port of a cooking device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

in one embodiment of the present application, the fifth temperature may be, for example, a temperature for adjusting the state of the exhaust port. The fifth temperature is not particularly limited to a certain fixed temperature. For example, when the food material changes, or the specific frying sub-pattern changes, the fifth temperature may also change accordingly.

According to some embodiments, the continuous opening may be, for example, a gradual opening with deformation of the thermally expanded metal sheet.

In one embodiment of the present application, during the process of heating the cavity temperature to the fifth temperature, the air outlet of the cooking appliance is controlled to be in an opened state by the thermal expansion metal sheet, and the opening of the air outlet of the cooking appliance is controlled to be continuously opened.

The mouthfeel information is not particularly specific to a certain fixed information. For example, the same kind of food material may correspond to different taste information, and the same kind of food material may correspond to different taste information. Different kinds of food materials can also correspond to the same mouthfeel information, and different kinds of food materials can also correspond to different mouthfeel information.

According to some embodiments, controlling the exhaust port of the cooking appliance to be in an open state by the thermally expanded metal sheet during the heating of the cavity temperature to the fifth temperature includes:

According to some embodiments, wherein the seventh temperature may be, for example, less than the fifth temperature.

For example, the method may further include controlling the opening and closing states of the air outlet according to the taste information corresponding to the food material in the process of raising the temperature of the cavity to the fifth temperature and determining that the frying time period reaches the third time period threshold.

According to some embodiments, the third time period threshold may be used, for example, to indicate the time period for food material ripening in the cavity. The third time period threshold may, for example, correspond to a specific frying sub-mode. The third time period threshold is not particularly limited to a fixed threshold. For example, the third duration threshold may be modified when a modification instruction corresponding to the third duration threshold is received.

According to some embodiments, controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust ports according to taste information corresponding to the food material includes:

And under the condition that the mouthfeel information corresponding to the food materials is the first mouthfeel information, controlling the temperature of the cavity to be adjusted from a fifth temperature to a ninth temperature, and controlling the exhaust port to be in a closed state through the thermal expansion metal sheet until the frying time reaches a preset time, wherein the fifth temperature is smaller than the ninth temperature.

Therefore, the opening and closing state of the exhaust port can be controlled according to the taste information, the matching property of the cooking effect and the taste information can be improved, and the cooking effect of the food material can be improved.

According to some embodiments, the first mouthfeel information and the second mouthfeel information are used to indicate different mouthfeel information. The first taste information is only used for distinguishing from the rest of the taste information, and does not refer to a certain fixed taste information. For example, the first taste information may be soft and tender taste information, and the second taste information may be crispy taste information.

In step 305, when the frying time reaches the preset time and the cavity temperature reaches the sixth temperature, the exhaust port is controlled to be in an opened state by the thermal expansion metal sheet.
