Specification

Description:The following sections of this article will provide various embodiments of the current invention with references to the accompanying drawings, whereby the reference numbers utilised in the picture correspond to like elements throughout the description. However, this invention is not limited to the embodiment described here and may be embodied in several other ways. Instead, the embodiment is included to ensure that this disclosure is extensive and complete and that individuals of ordinary skill in the art are properly informed of the extent of the invention. Numerical values and ranges are given for many parts of the implementations discussed in the following thorough discussion. These numbers and ranges are merely to be used as examples and are not meant to restrict the claims' applicability. A variety of materials are also recognised as fitting for certain aspects of the implementations. These materials should only be used as examples and are not meant to restrict the application of the innovation.
[014] Referring now to the drawings, these are illustrated in FIG. 1, the fully automatic cooker whistle counter device is designed to provide accurate, hands-free counting of cooker whistles while also enhancing cooking consistency through the use of a rotating internal base. The device comprises several key components, each of which plays an important role in ensuring optimal performance and ease of use.
[015] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the rotating internal base mechanism is configured to rotate based on user-selected recipes, ensuring optimal cooking conditions for different dishes. This rotating mechanism is driven by a miniature electric motor that adjusts the position of the internal base according to the cooking requirements of the selected recipe. The rotation facilitates even distribution of ingredients, which helps prevent food from sticking to the bottom of the cooker and ensures uniform cooking. Users can select the desired recipe using an intuitive interface, allowing the device to automatically adjust the internal settings for optimal results.
[016] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic mounting mechanism allows the device to be quickly attached or detached from metal pressure cooker lids. The magnetic base is equipped with high-strength neodymium magnets that ensure the device remains securely attached during the cooking process, even under high-pressure conditions. This feature makes the device compatible with a wide range of pressure cookers and allows for easy transfer between different cookers without the need for tools or additional mounting hardware.
[017] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, for cookers that do not have magnetic lids or for users who prefer an alternative mounting option, the device includes a handle-mounted configuration. This mounting system consists of adjustable, heat-resistant silicone arms that can be attached to the cooker handle, providing stability and compatibility with different cooker designs. The flexible arms can be adjusted to fit securely around handles of various shapes and sizes, ensuring that the device remains in place throughout the cooking process.
[018] In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the device is equipped with replaceable sound detection filters. The sound detection unit includes a high-fidelity microphone and filters that are designed to isolate cooker whistle sounds from background noise. These filters are made from durable, acoustic-grade materials and are easy to replace, allowing users to maintain optimal performance over time. The sound detection system ensures that the device can accurately count whistles even in noisy kitchen environments, where ambient sounds could otherwise interfere with detection.
[019] In addition to sound detection, the device includes vibration detection with piezoelectric sensors. These sensors detect vibrations produced by the pressure cooker during each whistle and are positioned strategically within the device to pick up even the slightest vibrations generated by steam release. By combining sound and vibration detection, the device minimizes the risk of false readings and ensures precise whistle counting, even when the audio signal is compromised by background noise.
[020] The device also features a smart vent hood designed to direct steam away from the detection sensors, preventing steam from interfering with the whistle counting process. The vent hood is equipped with an adjustable flap that allows steam to escape naturally while being directed away from the sensors, ensuring that the sensors remain unobstructed. The vent hood is constructed from high-temperature-resistant materials to withstand the heat and pressure generated during cooking, enhancing the durability and reliability of the device.
[021] To provide a secure attachment to the pressure cooker lid, the device incorporates a quick-lock mechanism. This mechanism consists of a spring-loaded clamp that fits snugly around the rim of the lid, ensuring that the device remains securely in place throughout the cooking process. The quick-lock system is designed for ease of use, allowing users to install or remove the device quickly and without hassle, making it suitable for users of all ages and skill levels as shown in figure 2.
[022] The present invention has broad applications in both household and commercial kitchens. Its user-friendly features make it accessible for all users, including those unfamiliar with traditional pressure-cooking methods, while its accuracy and convenience enhance the overall cooking experience. The rotating internal base and advanced detection mechanisms provide consistent cooking results, making the device particularly useful for recipes that require precise timing and uniform ingredient distribution.
[023] The benefits and advantages that the present invention may offer have been discussed above with reference to particular embodiments. These benefits and advantages are not to be interpreted as critical, necessary, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments, nor are they to be read as any elements or constraints that might contribute to their occurring or becoming more evident.
[024] Although specific embodiments have been used to describe the current invention, it should be recognized that these embodiments are merely illustrative and that the invention is not limited to them.
