Description

The technical solution relates to the field of food industry, namely to remote control of one or more devices for thermal (thermal) processing of products used both in industrial and domestic conditions.

A multicooker of the CMC-HE1054F model by Cuckoo is known from the prior art, which according to an article on the website http://home.abc.ru/news/induktsionnaya-multivarka-cmc-he1054f-ot-cuckoo-i-skorovarka-multivarka-brand 6050-ot-brand.html [1] has the ability to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi and upload new recipes. But according to the technical specifications given on the official website http://www.cuckooworld.com [2] in the Products section of the Kitchen Appliance tab in a number of IH Pressure Type multicookers of the CMC-HE series, there is no indication of the presence of a Wi-Fi module or any another device that allows you to control the multicook remotely using wireless data transfer, which is confirmed by the instruction for using the multicooker CMC-HE1054F from Cuckoo http://files.sotmarket.ru/instr/bytovaya_tehnika/dlya_kuhni/multivarki/cuckoo/Cucko_CMC_HE1054F.PDF [3] technical specifications presented on Yandex. Market (http://market.yandex.ru/model-spec.xml?modelid=6419836&hid=4954975 [4]). Based on an analysis of the technical characteristics and specifications, it can be concluded that the Cuckoo multicooker CMC-HE1054F does not support wireless data transfer, as well as downloading and downloading new recipes from the Internet. And the information indicated on the site [1] is not reliable and misleads readers and potential buyers of the multicooker.

At the same time, the main drawback of this model (assuming that the article on the site [1] is not misleading the consumer) is the restriction of wireless data transmission by Wi-Fi technology, as well as the restriction of the use of this technology only to Internet access via Wi-Fi. In addition, the article on the site [1] does not specify remote control of the multicooker using wireless data transfer, which can be considered as the absence of this feature in the multicooker.

A multicooker of the HomeCooker neXt model, which is a conceptual development of Philips (http://www.ifa.philips.com/pressreleases/Philips-HomeCooker-neXt/index.html [5], http: // shopthing, is known from the prior art. com / philips-parovarka-wi-fi-kofemashina-internet.html [6]). The multicooker is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi module and control is carried out remotely via the Internet and a specially created HomeCooker NeXt server (service) by using Wi-Fi technology using special applications installed on electronic devices.

An electric multicooker with Wi-Fi control using a telephone, tablet and other electronic devices using a Wi-Fi router is known from the existing level of technology (patent for utility model No. 132324 dated May 24, 2013 by A. Strebulaev, author). This multicooker contains a housing with at least one heating element and a removable cooking container located in the housing, while the control module is located in the housing, the terminals of which are connected respectively: with the output of the power module, designed to connect at least one of the electrical network said heating elements; with the conclusion of the display unit; with the inputs of at least one temperature sensor and manual control unit, as well as with the first output of the microprocessor, the second output of which is connected to a conversion module configured to wirelessly communicate with a remote Wi-Fi router.

The disadvantages of the known technical solutions are:

1. The proposed scheme for transmitting control signals of a multicooker via a Wi-Fi router or a specially created server (service) rather than directly complicates the organization of a wireless connection between a multicooker and a control device;

2. There are no other options and methods for wireless data transfer in addition to using Wi-Fi technology for remote control of the multicooker.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to increase the usability and expansion of the functionality of the multicooker, as well as simplifying the organization of wireless control of the multicooker.

The essence of the proposed technical solution is that a multicooker with a wireless control device, consisting of a housing, one or more heating elements, a removable container for products installed inside the housing, contains a multicooker control module, characterized in that a transceiver is built into it supporting wireless data transfer. The transceiver allows you to control the multicooker from various electronic devices by creating a direct wireless connection or connecting to existing wireless networks.

A possible development of the main solution is that a multicooker with a wireless control device supports the establishment of a connection through a separate transceiver.

Thus, the claimed technical solution, with its entire set of essential features, allows to increase usability, simplify the wireless control of the multicooker and expand the functionality of the multicooker by placing a transceiver in the control module that allows the use of various wireless data transfer technologies. Improving usability is achieved through remote control from any electronic device, which greatly simplifies the process of selecting the desired operating mode and setting the necessary settings. The expansion of functionality is achieved by storing all possible operating modes of the multicooker on an electronic device, which allows you to simply select the desired mode if it is not taken out as a separate mode, for example, in the form of a button on the multicooker body, which greatly expands the selection of possible prepared dishes . Simplification of the organization of wireless control of the multicooker is achieved by creating a direct wireless connection between the multicooker and the control device, not excluding the possibility of establishing a connection with any electronic device through a separate transceiver.

The essence of the claimed utility model and the possibility of its practical implementation is illustrated by the description and drawings below.

The technical solution is illustrated in figure 1, which shows a block diagram of a multicooker with a wireless control device, comprising in the housing (1): a power supply unit, one or more heating elements, one or more temperature sensors, a control module (3), including a manual control unit and other components necessary for proper operation, for example, an indication unit, a microprocessor, and others. The multicooker control module (3) also has a built-in transceiver (4) that supports various wireless data transfer technologies, provides remote access and the ability to control the multicooker from any electronic device (5, 6).

The main principle of the proposed technical solution is as follows: the power supply is connected to the electric network, connected to the control module (3), with one or more heating elements and with one or more temperature sensors. In turn, the multicooker control module (3) contains a microprocessor, a manual control unit, a transceiver (4) and, if necessary, other components, for example, an indication unit and others. The transceiver (4), in turn, is connected to any electronic device available to the user of the multicooker, for example, a phone / smartphone and / or tablet / laptop (5, 6), a computer, but not limited to, and carries out wireless data transmission (7), thereby providing the user with the multicooker the opportunity to control and / or change all parameters of the multicooker operating modes.

The general scheme for implementing remote control of a multicooker with a wireless control device by creating a direct wireless connection (see Figure 2) is that any user-controlled electronic device, for example, such as a phone / smartphone (5) and / or tablet / laptop (6) via wireless data transfer technologies, for example, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IrDa or others, is connected directly to the multicooker transceiver (4) (4). For remote control of the multicooker (2), it is necessary to launch a program (application) for controlling the device for thermal (thermal) processing of products and select the required operating mode of the controlled device.

The general scheme for implementing remote control of a multicooker with a wireless control device by connecting to existing wireless networks (see Figure 3) is that a multicooker (2) is installed in an existing and working wireless network, for example, a Wi-Fi zone, which are connected to the wireless network by means of a transceiver (4) integrated in the control module (3). For remote control of the multicooker, it is necessary to place any control electronic device at the user's disposal, for example, a telephone / smartphone (5) and / or tablet / laptop (6) in the same Wi-Fi zone. The control electronic device (5, 6) is connected to the transceiver (4) of the control module (3) of the multicooker (2), run a program (application) for controlling the device for thermal (thermal) processing of products and select the required operating mode of the controlled device.

After starting the program (application) for controlling the device for thermal (heat) processing of products and selecting the required operating mode on the electronic device used by the user (5, 6), the multicooker control module (3) (2) receives through the transceiver (4) command, in the form of a signal (7). The control module (3), depending on the task set by the user, turns on and starts a certain multicooker operation mode (2) with the settings required (selected) by the user.

For the convenience of the user, as well as for monitoring the process of operation of the multicooker (2), feedback is provided, as a result of which the consumer can visually, for example, graphically and / or through sound signals receive information from the control module (3) of the multicooker (2) through - a transmitting device (4) to the control electronic device (5, 6) used by him about the state of the process of thermal (thermal) processing of products and / or about the completion of the multicooker (2).

The program (application) used to work with the device for thermal (thermal) processing of products is included in the delivery package, is compatible and can be installed on any of the electronic devices known and used by the consumer.

It is worth noting that the correct operation of the multicooker after turning it on and the start of cooking does not require a permanent wireless connection of the control electronic device with the multicooker.

For a wider application and, if necessary, it is possible to connect the multicooker with a wireless control device to a separate transceiver device, which allows the consumer to also remotely control the multicooker.

Thus, the technical result of the claimed utility model is achieved, namely improving the usability, simplifying the wireless control of the multicooker and expanding the functionality of the multicooker.
