Cooking utensil and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a cooking utensil and a control method thereof. The cooking utensil comprises a base assembly, an upper cover assembly and an adjusting device; the upper cover assembly is pivotally arranged on the base assembly between a closing position and an unfolding position through a hinge structure, and the hinge structure comprises a force storage elastic piece; and the adjusting device is matched with the force storage elastic piece and used for adjusting the elastic potential energy stored by the force storage elastic piece so as to change the upward acting force of the forcestorage elastic piece on the upper cover assembly. According to the cooking utensil provided by the embodiment of the invention, the force storage elastic piece is arranged on the hinge structure, and the elastic potential energy of the force storage elastic piece is adjusted through the adjusting device, so that the force storage elastic piece can apply different acting forces to the upper coverassembly, the acting force of the upper cover assembly acting on food is changed, and the food is subjected to a proper pressure value; and the food is prevented from being crushed, and the cooking effect and the cooking taste of the food are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a cooking appliance and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the mainstream frying and roasting machines on the market are usually double-sided heating frying and roasting machines with upper and lower plates, which can simultaneously fry the upper and lower sides of the food to improve the efficiency of frying and roasting, and the upper plate can be suspended relative to the lower plate through the hinge, and the upper plate Free closing of the lid is produced by the hinge. Since the upper plate assembly includes heating plate, heating tube, reflector, shell and other components, the upper plate is heavy, and thicker food will be deformed under pressure, which affects the cooking effect and experience of food. In the related technology, the document CN201210108211.8 sets an elastic lifting device between the baking tray as...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because the upper plate components include heating plate, heating tube, reflector, shell and other components, the upper plate is heavy, and thicker food will be deformed under pressure, which will affect the cooking effect and experience of food

In the related technology, the document CN201210108211.8 sets an elastic lifting device between the baking tray assembly and the upper cover assembly to realize the suspension of the upper cover and avoid the pressure of the food, but when the thicker food withstands the upper cover, the spring compression force is relatively large , there will also be the problem of food being crushed; document CN201720516536.8 sets a movable bracket inside the upper cover, and adjusts the distance between the upper cover and the movable bracket through the driving mechanism to achieve different heights of the baking pan spacing to avoid food pressure, but It has the problem that the thickness of the food and the distance between the adjusted baking trays cannot be well matched, resulting in poor cooking effect, so there is room for improvement
