[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a temperature sensing package and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] The temperature sensing package in the prior art has a complex structure and a large volume of a single part, which is not conducive to the design of small products. The temperature sensing package in the prior art cannot meet the requirements of recoverable flexible contact after miniaturization.

[0003] The temperature sensing package is in direct contact with the inner pot. After long-term removal and impact on the inner pot, the surface may be deformed or the device may become loose, affecting the temperature sensing effect. The large volume of the temperature sensing package requires a return spring with a large stroke, which is more likely to cause stagnation and displacement during movement. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a temperature sensing package and a cooking utensil to solve the problems in the prior art that the temperature sensing package is large in size, has a large return spring stroke, and is prone to jamming and displacement.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a temperature-sensing package, comprising: a temperature-sensing package cap, the bottom of which is provided with a buckle ear; a temperature-sensing device, the temperature-sensing device is fixedly arranged on the temperature-sensing package cap by a filler; and an elastic element, the elastic element being sleeved on the outer periphery of the buckle ear.

[0006] Furthermore, an anti-drop structure is provided on the side wall of the temperature sensing package cap.

[0007] Furthermore, the anti-slip structure is an inner concave-convex rib arranged on the side wall of the temperature sensing package cap.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner concave-convex ribs are annular ribs.

[0009] Furthermore, the buckle ear includes a vertical connecting section and a horizontal locking section, the vertical connecting section is connected to the bottom of the side wall of the temperature sensing package cap, and the horizontal locking section is arranged at one end of the vertical connecting section away from the temperature sensing package cap.

[0010] Furthermore, the top end of the vertical connecting section is bent toward the inside of the temperature sensing package cap.

[0011] Furthermore, there are a plurality of buckle ears, and the plurality of buckle ears are arranged at intervals along the bottom of the temperature sensing package cap.

[0012] Furthermore, the vertical connecting section and the temperature sensing cap are integrally formed, and a first positioning groove is provided at the connection between the vertical connecting section and the temperature sensing cap, and the top end of the elastic element is located in the first positioning groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom end of the temperature sensing cap is provided with an outward flange, and the outward flange and the buckle ear are staggered at the bottom end of the temperature sensing cap, and the outer edge of the outward flange is bent in a direction away from the top of the temperature sensing cap to form a second positioning groove, and the elastic element is fixed in the second positioning groove.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooking utensil is provided, comprising a temperature sensing package, wherein the temperature sensing package is the temperature sensing package described above.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, since the temperature sensing device in the present invention is fixed inside the temperature sensing package cap by filler, compared with the temperature sensing package in the prior art, the temperature sensing package in the present invention does not need to be provided with a bracket to fix the temperature sensing device, which can reduce the volume of the temperature sensing package in the present invention and realize the miniaturization design of the temperature sensing package. Since the temperature sensing package in the present invention does not need to be provided with a bracket for supporting the temperature sensing device, the elastic element can be set smaller during the actual design, thereby reducing the stroke of the elastic element. During actual use, the elastic element runs more smoothly, and the temperature sensing package is not prone to problems such as stagnation and displacement, which can effectively reduce the production cost and reliability of the temperature sensing package in the present invention.

In actual use, the horizontal stop section 112 is hooked in the limiting groove outside the through hole, which is stable and reliable, and is convenient for playing a good limiting role in the process of the elastic element 30 moving.

[0041] The elastic element 30 in this embodiment is a spring. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the elastic element 30 can also be set as an elastic rubber pad or other structures. As long as it is other deformation methods based on the concept of the present invention, it is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] The top end of the vertical connecting section 111 in this embodiment is bent toward the inside of the temperature sensing package cap 10, so as to pass through the through hole in the middle of the magnetic strip bracket 50 during the installation of the temperature sensing package, and then be locked in the limiting groove outside the through hole.

[0043] Preferably, there are multiple buckle ears 11 in this embodiment, and the multiple buckle ears 11 are arranged at intervals along the bottom of the temperature-sensing package cap 10, so as to facilitate the stable installation of the temperature-sensing package on the coil disk assembly.

During actual installation, the top end of the elastic element 30 is fixed in the first positioning groove 12, which is convenient for limiting the elastic element 30 and the structure is stable and reliable.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the structure in this embodiment is Figure 5 and Figure 6 The embodiment is basically the same as in the embodiment, except that the bottom end of the temperature sensing cap 10 in this embodiment is provided with an outer flange 15, and the outer flange 15 and the buckle ear 11 are staggered at the bottom end of the temperature sensing cap 10, and the outer edge of the outer flange 15 is bent in a direction away from the top of the temperature sensing cap 10 to form a second positioning groove 13, and the top end of the elastic element 30 is located in the second positioning groove 13, which is convenient for limiting the elastic element 30.

[0046] Preferably, the temperature sensing device 20 in this embodiment is a temperature sensor.
