20190162420
This application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201711188222.0, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of P. R. China on Nov. 24, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of household appliances, and more particularly, to a method or a device for controlling a range hood.
At present, range hoods are usually arranged in the kitchen, such that cooking smoke in the kitchen can be discharged in time. The range hoods often have different operating power (e.g., input power or output power of a motor driving a fan). For example, when the range hood is operating, the greater the operating power is, the greater the wind power of the motor is, such that more cooking smoke can be discharged; the smaller the operating power is, the smaller the wind power of the motor is, such that a small amount of cooking smoke can be discharged.
In the related art, after the range hood is powered on, the user may adjust the operating power of the range hood according to actual conditions during cooking. For example, when the user finds that there is too much cooking smoke during the cooking, the user may manually adjust the operating mode of the range hood, such that the range hood can operate at a higher operating power. When the user finds that there is less cooking smoke during the cooking, the user may manually adjust the operating mode of the range hood, such that the range hood can operate at a lower operating power.
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for controlling a range hood. The method can include acquiring a cooking parameter during cooking of food that indicates a state of the food, determining a target operating power of the range hood according to the cooking parameter, and controlling the range hood to operate according to the target operating power.
In an embodiment, the acquiring the cooking parameter during the cooking of the food includes at least one of receiving weight data from a cooking stove or a cooking pot, and determining a weight of the food according to the weight data, receiving a picture of the food from a camera, and determining a color of the food according to pixel values of the picture, or receiving a smoke density from a smoke density sensor.
In an embodiment, the determining the target operating power of the range hood according to the cooking parameter includes setting a first preset power as the target operating power of the range hood when a weight of the food is greater than a preset weight, and setting a second preset power as the target operating power of the range hood when the weight of the food is less than the preset weight.
In an embodiment, the determining the target operating power of the range hood according to the cooking parameter includes setting a third preset power as the target operating power of the range hood when a current color of the food is not within a preset color range, and setting a fourth preset power as the target operating power of the range hood when the current color of the food is within the preset color range. In one example, after setting the third preset power as the target operating power of the range hood, an alarm message to raise an alarm for the cooking is generated, and/or supplying power or gas for cooking the food is stopped.
In an embodiment, the determining the target operating power of the range hood according to the cooking parameter includes setting a fifth preset power as the target operating power of the range hood when a smoke density is greater than a preset smoke density, and setting a sixth preset power as the target operating power of the range hood when the smoke density is less than the preset smoke density. In one embodiment, after setting the fifth preset power as the target operating power of the range hood, an alarm message to raise an alarm for the cooking is generated, and/or supplying power or gas for cooking the food is stopped.
Aspects of the disclosure provide a device for controlling a range hood. The device can include a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor. The processor is configured to acquire a cooking parameter during cooking of food, the cooking parameter indicating a state of the food during the cooking, determine a target operating power of the range hood according to the cooking parameter, and control the range hood to operate according to the target operating power.
Aspects of the disclosure further provide a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method for controlling the range hood.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate aspects consistent with the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
Before embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail, application scenarios of embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced first.
Since cooking food will generate cooking smoke during cooking, if the cooking smoke is not discharged in time, hygiene of the kitchen may be affected. Therefore, the kitchen is usually equipped with a range hood, such that the cooking smoke generated during the cooking can be timely discharged. The method for controlling a range hood provided in embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to a scene that cooking smoke generated during cooking is timely discharged.
Since the user needs to manually adjust the operating mode of the range hood in the related art, to achieve control of the range hood, efficiency of controlling the range hood is reduced, and user experience of the range hood is affected. Therefore, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling a range hood. The method includes determining a target operating power of the range hood according to cooking parameters of food during cooking, and controlling the range hood to operate according to the target operating power. Since the cooking parameters are configured to describe a state of the food during the cooking, the method for controlling a range hood provided by embodiments of the present disclosure can automatically adjust the operating power of the range hood according to the state of the food during cooking and avoid adjusting the operating power of the range hood manually, thereby improving efficiency of controlling the range hood, and improving user experience of the range hood.
Since the method for controlling a range hood provided by embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to implement automatic control of the range hood, embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a kitchen control system. As illustrated in

The smoke density sensor 105 is configured to determine a current smoke density, and report the smoke density to the control center 106.

In this case, the range hood 101 is equivalent to the control center 106 in
In addition, the camera 102 and the smoke density sensor 105 may be a camera and a smoke density sensor separately arranged in the kitchen, or may be a camera and a smoke density sensor integrated in the range hood 101, which is not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure.
The control center 106 may be a terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a computer, or may be a server communicating with other components of the system 100 via a network. In one example, the control center 106 is integrated into the range hood 101, and is a component of the range hood 101.

Since the cooking parameters are configured to describe the state of the food during the cooking, the method for controlling a range hood provided by embodiments of the present disclosure can automatically adjust the operating power of the range hood according to the state of the food during the cooking and avoid adjusting the operating power of the range hood manually, thereby improving efficiency of controlling the range hood, and improving user experience of the range hood.

All of the foregoing technical solutions may be arbitrarily combined to form alternative embodiments of the present disclosure, which are not described in detail in embodiments of the present disclosure.
It can be seen from the kitchen control system illustrated in
At block 301, cooking parameters of the food during cooking are acquired. The cooking parameters are configured to describe a state of the food during the cooking.
When the food is in the cooking process, the state of the food during the cooking can be used to characterize cooking smoke that the food may generate. For example, the greater the amount of the food during cooking is, the more cooking smoke may be generated during current cooking. For another example, when the food is in an overcooking state (such as a scorched state), the food may also generate more cooking smoke. Therefore, in embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to determine the operating power of the range hood for discharging the cooking smoke, it is necessary to determine the cooking parameters of the food during the cooking first.
The cooking parameters may include at least one of a weight of the food, a current color of the food and a smoke density. Certainly, the cooking parameters may also include other data for describing the cooking status of the food, such as water content in the food. The cooking parameters are not limited in embodiments of the disclosure.
Accordingly, acquiring the cooking parameters of the food during the cooking may include at least one of following steps.
(1) Weight data reported by a cooking stove or a cooking pot for cooking the food is received, and the weight of the food is determined according to the weight data.
As illustrated in
In at least one embodiment, a zero point of the scale installed on the cooking stove or the cooking pot can be set in advance, such that the weight data acquired through the scale is the weight data excluding the weight of the cooking stove or the cooking pot. In this case, when the control center receives the weight data, the control center can directly determine the weight data as the weight of the food.
(2) Pictures of the food are captured by a camera, and the color of the food is determined according to pixel values of pixel points in the picture.
When the food is in the cooking process, the camera can capture the pictures of the food every preset time period, and report the pictures of the food to the control center. When the control center receives the pictures of the food, the control center can process the picture to determine the color of the food.
The pictures of the food may be processed as follows. The pixel value of each pixel point in the picture is acquired, and pixel values of all pixel points are averaged to obtain an average pixel value, and the obtained average pixel value is determined as the pixel value of the current color of the food.
Furthermore, in order to improve accuracy of determining the current color of the food, marginalization may be performed on the picture to obtain an outline of the cooking pot for cooking the food. In all the pixel points of the pictures, only pixel values of the pixel points within the outline are averaged to obtain an average pixel value, and the average pixel value is determined as the pixel value of the current color of the food.
In addition, the preset time period is set in advance, and the preset time period may be 2s, 3s or 5s. In particular, in order to make the pictures captured by the camera can represent the current state of the food, the preset time period should not be too long.
(3) The smoke density reported by the smoke density sensor is received.
Similarly, when the food is in the cooking process, the smoke density sensor disposed in the kitchen may determine the current smoke density timely or every preset time period, and report the determined smoke density to the control center.
The smoke density sensor refers to a type of sensor for detecting the smoke density in the air. The smoke density sensor may be an ionization smoke sensor, a photoelectric smoke sensor, or a gas smoke sensor.
At block 302, the target operating power of the range hood is determined according to the cooking parameters.
It can be seen from block 301 that, since the cooking parameters may include at least one of the weight of the food, the current color of the food and the smoke density. Therefore, accordingly, block 302 may include following three possible implementations.
In a first possible implementation, a scene where the cooking parameters include the weight of the food is applied. In this case, when the weight of the food is greater than a preset weight, a first preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood. When the weight of the food is less than or equal to the preset weight, a second preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood. The first preset power is greater than the second preset power.
The preset weight is set in advance. When the weight of the food is greater than the preset weight, it indicates that the amount of food is increased, more cooking smoke may be generated in the process of cooking the food, and thus the range hood needs to operate at a higher operating power. When the weight of the food is less than or equal to the preset weight, it indicates that the amount of food is not too much, less cooking smoke may be generated in the process of cooking the food, and thus there may be no need for the range hood to operate at the higher operating power. Therefore, when the weight of the food is greater than the preset weight, a larger first preset power may be configured for the range hood, and when the weight of the food is less than or equal to the preset weight, a smaller second preset power may be configured for the range hood.
In addition, the first preset power and the second preset power are set in advance. In practical applications, the first preset power and the second preset power may be flexibly set according to actual needs.
For example, the preset weight is 1 kg, the first preset power is 1 KW, and the second preset power is 500 W. In other words, when the weight of the food is greater than 1 kg, it is determined that the target operating power of the range hood is 1 KW, and when the weight of the food is less than or equal to 1 kg, it is determined that the target operating power of the range hood is 500 W.
In a second possible implementation, a scene where the cooking parameters include the current color of the food is applied. In this case, when the current color of the food is not within a preset color range, a third preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood. When the current color of the food is within the preset color range, a fourth preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood. The third preset power is greater than the fourth preset power.
The preset color range is set in advance, and the preset color range is a standard color range of the food. When the current color of the food is not within the preset color range, it indicates that the food may currently be in the overcooking state, such as a scorched state, in this case, more cooking smoke may be generated in the process of cooking the food, and thus the range hood needs to operate at a higher operating power. When the current color of the food is within the preset color range, it indicates that the food is in a standard cooking state, less cooking smoke may be generated in the process of cooking the food, and thus there may be no need for the range hood to operate at the higher operating power. Therefore, when the current color of the food is not within the preset color range, a larger third preset power may be configured for the range hood, and when the current color of the food is within the preset color range, a smaller fourth preset power may be configured for the range hood.
In addition, the third preset power and the fourth preset power are set in advance. In practical applications, the third preset power and the fourth preset power may be flexibly set according to actual needs.
For example, when the food is in the overcooking state, the color of the food may appear charred. Therefore, a pixel value range corresponding to the charred can be determined, and the preset color range can be determined according to the pixel value range corresponding to the charred, i.e., the pixel value range corresponding to the preset color range does not include the pixel value range corresponding to the charred.
In a third possible implementation, a scene where the cooking parameters include the smoke density is applied. In this case, when the smoke density is greater than a preset smoke density, a fifth preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood. When the smoke density is less than or equal to the preset smoke density, a sixth preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood. The fifth preset power is greater than the sixth preset power.
The preset smoke density is set in advance. When the current smoke density is greater than the preset smoke density, it indicates that there is too much cooking smoke in the kitchen, in this case, the range hood needs to operate at a higher operating power. When the current smoke density is less than or equal to the preset smoke density, it indicates that there is less cooking smoke in the kitchen, in this case, there may be no need for the range hood to operate at the higher operating power. Therefore, when the current smoke density is greater than the preset smoke density, a larger fifth preset power may be configured for the range hood, and when the current smoke density is less than or equal to the preset smoke density, a smaller sixth preset power may be configured for the range hood.
In addition, the fifth preset power and the sixth preset power are set in advance. In practical applications, the fifth preset power and the sixth preset power may be flexibly set according to actual needs.
In at least one embodiment, when the cooking parameters include other parameters configured to characterize the cooking state of the food, the target operating power of the range hood may also be determined according to the other parameters as described in the above three possible implementations.
In addition, when the cooking parameters only include one parameter of the weight of the food, the current color of the food and the smoke density, the target operating power of the range hood may be determined according to one of the above three possible implementations.
When the cooking parameters include two or more parameters, in this case, the target operating power corresponding to each parameter may be determined according to one of the foregoing three possible implementations, to obtain at least two target operating power. Then, a maximum target operating power can be selected from the at least two target operating powers, and the following block 303 is performed through the selected target operating power.
At block 303, the range hood is controlled to operate according to the target operating power.
After the control center determines the target operating power of the range hood at block 302, the control center can send a control instruction to the range hood, in which, the control instruction carries the target operating power. When the range hood receives the control instruction, the range hood can operate according to the target operating power carried by the control instruction.
At block 304, when it is determined that an alarm is required, an alarm message is generated for alert.
In at least one embodiment, in embodiments of the present disclosure, after the target operating power is determined according to block 302, when it is determined that the range hood needs to operate at the higher operating power, it indicates that there is too much cooking smoke in the kitchen. In this case, the control center may make an alarm to remind the person in the kitchen that there is too much cooking smoke in the kitchen.
In particular, in the above three possible implementations for determining the target operating power of the range hood according to the cooking parameters, there may be security problems in the kitchen in the second possible implementation and the third possible implementation. Therefore, block 304 can be divided into the following two cases.
(1) In the second possible implementation of block 303, when the third preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood, it indicates that the current color of the food is not within the standard color range, the food may be in the scorched state. In this case, the control center can generate the alarm message to raise an alarm for the cooking.
The alarm message may be voice information. The alarm may be raised for the current cooking process by playing the voice information. For example, the alarm message may be a preset ringtone, and after the preset ringtone is played, the person in the kitchen may hear the preset ringtone and determine that there is too much cooking smoke in the kitchen.
Furthermore, in order to avoid security hazard, after the current cooking process is alarmed, power or gas for cooking the food may also be stopped supplying.
(2) In the third possible implementation of block 303, when the fifth preset power is set as the target operating power of the range hood, it indicates that there is too much cooking smoke in the kitchen, and safety of the person in the kitchen may be affected. Therefore, the control center can generate the alarm message to raise an alarm for the cooking.
Furthermore, in order to avoid security hazard, after the current cooking process is alarmed, power or gas for cooking the food may also be stopped supplying.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the target operating power of the range hood is determined according to the cooking parameters of the food during cooking, such that the range hood can be controlled to operate according to the target operating power. Since the cooking parameters are configured to describe the state of the food during the cooking, the method for controlling a range hood provided by embodiments of the present disclosure can automatically adjust the operating power of the range hood according to the state of the food during the cooking and avoid adjusting the operating power of the range hood manually, thereby improving efficiency of controlling the range hood, and improving user experience of the range hood.

The third preset power is greater than the fourth preset power.
