Nồi cơm điện thông minh có khả năng tự nấu

Designing a smart rice cooker that can automatically dispense rice, water, and cook remotely or on a timer is an innovative idea that combines IoT technology with automation. Below are the detailed features and design components:

Main Components of the Smart Rice Cooker

1. Automatic Rice Dispensing Mechanism

  • Rice Storage Compartment: A large container with a weight sensor to monitor the remaining rice.
  • Rice Measuring System: Uses a mini screw conveyor or belt system to dispense the required amount of rice (e.g., 1 cup, 2 cups).
  • Rice Valve: Controls the flow of rice to prevent spillage.

2. Automatic Water Supply System

  • Integrated Water Tank: A compartment with a sensor to detect the water level.
  • Smart Water Pump: Dispenses precise amounts of water based on the measured rice quantity.
  • Water Level Sensor: Ensures accurate water levels for cooking.

3. Smart Cooking Mechanism

  • Microprocessor: Controls the entire cooking process, including washing, water dispensing, and cooking based on selected modes (e.g., regular rice, sticky rice, or porridge).
  • Temperature and Humidity Sensors: Monitor the cooking process to ensure proper results.
  • Auto-Cleaning Function: Cleans the water and cooking compartments after cooking.

4. IoT Connectivity

  • Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Connects to a smartphone app for remote control.
  • Mobile Application: Allows users to:
    • Set cooking timers.
    • Select rice, water quantities, and cooking modes.
    • Receive notifications when cooking is complete or when rice/water needs replenishment.

Key Features

  • Remote control via smartphone app.
  • Fully automated rice and water dispensing.
  • Smart alerts for low rice/water levels and system errors.
  • Safe and energy-efficient design with automatic power-off after cooking.

Working Principle

  1. The user inputs the desired portion (e.g., 2 cups of rice) via the app or control panel.
  2. The system automatically dispenses the correct amount of rice and water.
  3. The cooking process starts based on the selected mode and timer.
  4. Upon completion, the system sends a notification and switches to "Keep Warm" mode.

Benefits of the Product

  • Saves time and effort for users, especially busy professionals.
  • Perfectly suits modern lifestyles with its convenience and precision.
  • Ensures consistent cooking results with minimal user intervention.
