<Recipe correction according to the internal volume of the cooking device>

According to an embodiment, the recipe providing apparatus may change the recipe based on the internal volume of the cooking apparatus. For example, when the internal volume of the oven is reduced, there is a need to reduce the output of the oven. The recipe providing apparatus may adjust the cooking conditions of the recipe in consideration of the internal volume of the cooking apparatus.

<Recipe correction according to the internal configuration of the cooking device>

According to an embodiment, the recipe providing apparatus may change the recipe based on whether a specific configuration is included in the cooking apparatus.

For example, when the cooking apparatus does not include a turntable, the uniformity of heating is reduced, so that it is necessary to extend the cooking time. The recipe providing apparatus may increase the cooking time of a recipe when the cooking apparatus does not include a turntable.

Also, when the cooking apparatus does not have an inverter, the recipe providing apparatus according to an embodiment may correct the recipe by converting the output control of the cooking apparatus in units of time.

As shown in Table 5, the recipe providing apparatus may provide the cooking apparatus or the user terminal with the duty cycle and on time of the cooking apparatus in order to control the output of the cooking apparatus when the cooking apparatus does not have an inverter. have.

If the cooking device is provided with a recipe having an on time of 46(s) at a duty cycle of 60(s), it operates (ON) for 46 seconds every 60 seconds and does not operate for 14 seconds. (OFF) can be.

<Recipe correction by simultaneous use of complex heat sources - Improvement of uniformity >

According to an embodiment, the recipe providing apparatus may adjust the recipe to use a plurality of heating means simultaneously to shorten the cooking time and uniformly heat the inside and the outside of the product. For example, when a bulky and thick frozen hamburger steak is heated with a single heat source, the cooking time is lengthened in order to increase the temperature of the internal product, and the surface temperature is excessively increased or dried. Accordingly, by heating the product using a heat source that is easy for internal heating and a heat source that is easy for external heating at the same time in combination, not only the cooking time can be shortened but also the product can be uniformly heated, thereby improving the cooking quality. The recipe providing apparatus may change the recipe to cook using a microwave capable of heating the inside of the product and steam capable of heating the surface of the product at the same time, and may reduce the cooking time.

If the cooking device (main heat source: microwave) has an additional heat source (grill or hot air, etc.) can be performed.

The recipe providing apparatus may store information about the cooking apparatus including microwaves and various heat sources.

The recipe providing device includes parameters of a cooking device including a complex heat source, for example, food shape and composition of the product to be cooked, dielectric constant, magnetic permeability, specific heat, thermal conductivity, density, electrical conductivity, latent heat of phase change, microwave output, micro It is possible to predict the heating of the cooked product by comprehensively considering the wave control method, the grill output, the hot air heating output, the characteristics of the circulation fan, and the 3D internal structure of the cooking device.

Heating prediction may be performed to correspond to any combination of the settable output number of microwaves and the settable additional heat source (grill or hot air) output number. For example, if the settable number of microwave outputs is 4 (700W, 450W, 300W, 100W) and the settable number of additional heat sources is 3 (1500W, 1000W, 500W), the heating prediction is 4*3= Heating predictions for 12 heat source combinations may proceed.

For each heating prediction result, a heating prediction system for each heat source combination is generated through machine learning (Multi-variate linear regression) of the temperature distribution (Temp of Point) for each location of the product to be cooked, and the generated heating prediction system uses the recipe It may be stored in the providing device, and the recipe providing device may correct the recipe by selecting a result suitable for the cooking purpose from the stored heating prediction system, and may provide the corrected recipe to the cooking device or the user terminal.

On the other hand, when the main heat source of the cooking apparatus is a grill or hot air, not a microwave, the recipe providing apparatus may correct the recipe by using the stored data on the grill or hot air oven. At this time, the data includes the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the cooking zone of the cooking device, the material of the structure, the output of the grill, the output of the heat source that generates the hot air, and the fan characteristic (Fan Curve) of the internal fan structure that outputs the hot air. may include

The recipe providing apparatus may correct the recipe by referring to the average temperature, the minimum temperature, and the maximum temperature of the temperature distribution (Temp of Point) for each location of the cooked product with respect to the microwave-using cooking apparatus described above.

At this time, in the case of a grill or hot air oven, because heated air collides with the food surface and heat is transferred to the inside of the product, heating prediction is made by considering variables such as specific heat, thermal conductivity, and latent heat of phase change according to moisture content of the food to be heated. can proceed. Heating prediction data for a grill or hot air may be expressed in the form of a temperature distribution for each location according to a heating time, similar to Table 5, and may be stored in the recipe providing device.

<Recipe correction by using sequence of complex heat source - texture improvement>

In another embodiment, the recipe may be adjusted to use a plurality of heating means in sequence so that the inside and outside of the product are uniformly heated and the outside has a crispy texture. In the case of cooking fried-type frozen food, it is required to raise the internal temperature sufficiently to be edible, but cook it crisply so that the external surface is not dry or soggy. Therefore, after using a heat source that is easy for internal heating of the product and secondarily applying a heat source that can cook the external surface in a sequence to heat the product, not only uniform heating of the product but also the texture of the surface can be crispy. Therefore, it may be possible to improve the cooking quality. For example, when only microwaves, which are a single heat source, are used to cook frozen chicken, excessive cooking time is required to increase the internal temperature, and it may be difficult to implement a crispy surface texture of chicken. Accordingly, the recipe providing apparatus may change the recipe so that after heating for a predetermined time with microwaves in order to shorten the cooking time and effectively increase the internal product temperature, the recipe may be heated for a predetermined time by hot wire or convection for a crispy surface texture.

<Recipe correction according to cooking purpose>

The recipe providing apparatus according to an embodiment may be capable of correcting a recipe according to a cooking purpose, and may also be capable of correcting a recipe according to a combination of a set cooking purpose.

For example, if the purpose of cooking is that the internal temperature should be as uniform as possible, the minimum/maximum temperature should be above/below a certain temperature, the average cooking temperature should be above a certain temperature and the cooking time should be short, the product surface should be well This may include cases in which the surface temperature must be below a certain temperature because of burning, and the case where the internal temperature of the product must be within a certain range even if the surface temperature of the product is increased.

If the internal temperature of the product needs to be as uniform as possible, the C.V. The value may be calculated, and the cooking time range according to each combination may be limited according to the target temperature range of the heated product. At this time, C.V. is a value obtained by dividing the standard deviation by the average. The smaller the value, the smaller the deviation from the average temperature, so that the temperature distribution for each product location can be uniform.

When the minimum/highest temperature should be above/below a specific temperature, the recipe may be corrected by selecting a time period in which the lowest temperature is within the range based on the heating prediction result.

If the average cooking temperature should be above a certain temperature and the cooking time should be short, calculate the average cooking time for each hour for each individual combination of heating prediction results, and limit the time area in which the calculated average cooking temperature is included in the target range to create a recipe. can be corrected.

If the surface temperature must be below a certain temperature because the product surface burns easily, limit the surface temperature according to the product characteristics, and in the temperature distribution for each location among the heating prediction results, near the surface (for example, near the surface according to the Temp of Point) Recipe correction can be performed by classifying the results of each heat source combination according to time, and calculating a time range for each heat source combination that meets the target temperature condition among the classified results.

Even if the surface temperature of the product is raised, if the internal temperature of the product must be within a certain range, the surface temperature is limited according to the product characteristics, and the result near the surface of the product (near the surface according to the Temp of Point) among the heating prediction results is calculated for each heat source. Recipe can be calibrated by calculating each combination over time, and calculating the range that matches the calculated result to the target temperature condition.

Combinations for each purpose may be combinable with logical operators (and, or, nor, xnor).

A table for the comprehensive heating prediction result for the recipe correction described above can be shown in Table 6.
