[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an electric heating switch circuit of an electric rice cooker for porridge and rice comprises an electric rice cooker body 1, a heating plate 2 arranged on the inner bottom surface of the electric rice cooker body 1 and contacting with an inner pot for heating, a steam port 3 arranged on the electric rice cooker body 1, a bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 arranged on the electric rice cooker body 1 and used for closing when pressed and resetting when heated to disconnect the heating circuit of the electric rice cooker, a cooking temperature control switch 5 contacting with the heating plate 2 and tripping when the heating plate 2 reaches a set cooking temperature and resetting and closing after cooling, and a steam port 3 arranged on the electric rice cooker body 1. 1 is used to set a function setting button 6 for setting a rice cooking mode or a porridge cooking mode, the rice cooking temperature control switch 5 is connected in parallel with a heating element 7 which generates heat to disconnect the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 when the rice cooking temperature control switch 5 is tripped, the function setting button 6 is connected in parallel with a porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 which is arranged in the steam port 3 and works when the function setting button 6 sets the porridge cooking mode and trips when the steam temperature reaches the set porridge cooking temperature and resets and closes after cooling, the tripping temperature of the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 is less than the tripping temperature of the rice cooking temperature control switch 5, and the other power supply end of the electric rice cooker is connected to the other end of the heating plate 2.

[0022] Among them, the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 and the rice cooking temperature control switch 5 are both normally closed bimetallic temperature control switches that trip when their own set temperatures are reached and reset after cooling. A heat preservation plate 9 that works after the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 is disconnected is connected between the input end of the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 and the cooking mode connection end of the function setting button 6, and the heat preservation plate 9 is connected to the inner wall of the rice cooker body 1.

[0023] When cooking Figure 2As shown, the function setting button 6 is set to the cooking mode, so that the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 does not work, at this moment, the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4, the cooking temperature control switch 5, the function setting button 6, and the heating plate 2 are connected in series, and the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 is closed when pressed, and at this moment, the movable metal sheet of the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 contacts with the heating element 7, and the heating plate 2 generates heat after power-on to cook, and the cooking temperature control switch 5 detects the temperature of the heating plate 2, and when the temperature of the heating plate 2 reaches the temperature set by the cooking temperature control switch 5 itself, the cooking temperature control switch 5 is disconnected, and at this moment, the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4, the heating element 7, the function setting button 6, and the heating plate 2 are connected in series, and the heating element 7 is electrically heated, and when the temperature of the heating element 7 reaches the temperature set by the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 itself, the movable metal sheet is reset to make the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 disconnect and stop heating, and at this moment, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the heat preservation plate 9 is connected in series with the heating plate 2 to perform heat preservation work, wherein the cooking temperature control switch 5 is reset and closed after cooling, and is still in a connected state when cooking next time.

[0024] When cooking porridge Figure 4 As shown, the function setting button 6 is set to the porridge cooking mode, so that the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 is connected to work. At this time, the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4, the cooking temperature control switch 5, the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8, and the heating plate 2 are connected in series. After pressing the closed bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 to power on, the heating plate 2 heats up and performs the porridge cooking operation. Since the tripping temperature of the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 is lower than the tripping temperature of the cooking temperature control switch 5, the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 will trip before the cooking temperature control switch 5. Therefore, the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 detects the steam temperature at the steam port 3. When the steam temperature reaches the temperature set by the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 itself, the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 trips, so that the heating plate 2 stops heating. The porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 is reset and connected after cooling for a period of time, and the heating plate 2 resumes heating, and this is repeated until the user manually disconnects the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 to stop the heating plate heating operation.

[0025] In this case, the trip temperature set by the rice cooking temperature control switch 5 is 150°C, the trip temperature set by the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4 is 96-99°C, and the trip temperature set by the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8 is 95-99°C.

[0026] Among them, the heating element 7 is a PCT heating element. After the PCT heating element is energized, it can quickly generate high temperature, and can reset and rebound the active metal sheet of the bimetallic temperature control push button switch 4 in a very short time, and quickly and accurately disconnect the bimetallic temperature control push button switch 4. A temperature fuse FS is connected between the other power supply end of the rice cooker and the other end of the heating plate 2 to protect the rice cooker.

[0027] like Figure 2-4As shown, the function setting button 6 is a single-pole double-throw switch, the common end of the single-pole double-throw switch is respectively connected to the output end of the cooking temperature control switch 5 and one end of the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8, and the cooking mode connection end of the single-pole double-throw switch is respectively connected to the heating plate 2 and the other end of the porridge cooking temperature control switch 8.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, cooking light switch K5, cooking light LED2, resistor R3, diode D2, reverse voltage stabilizing diode D4 are connected in sequence between the SPDT switch common end and the other power supply end of the electric cooker, and the cooking light switch K1 is closed or disconnected synchronously with the SPDT switch cooking mode connection end. When the SPDT switch setting of the function setting button 6 is closed to the cooking mode, the cooking light switch K1 is closed synchronously, and at this moment, the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4, the cooking temperature control switch 5, the cooking light switch K5, the cooking light LED2, resistor R3, diode D2, reverse voltage stabilizing diode D4, and fuse FS form a loop, and the cooking light LED2 is luminous, and the user is prompted to cook, and wherein the reverse voltage stabilizing diode D4 is used to prevent the cooking light LED2 from being secretly bright.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a resistor R1, a heat preservation lamp LED1, and a diode D1 are connected in sequence between the input end of the bimetal temperature control key switch 4 and the common end of the single-pole double-throw switch, and a bias resistor R2 is provided between the common end of the single-pole double-throw switch and the other power supply end of the electric cooker to provide a loop current to the heat preservation lamp LED1 when the bimetal temperature control key switch 4 is disconnected. When the bimetal temperature control key switch 4 is switched on after cooking is completed, the electric cooker is in a heat preservation state, and at this time, the resistor R1, the heat preservation lamp LED1, the diode D1, the bias resistor R2, and the fuse FS form a loop, so that the heat preservation lamp LED1 emits light, prompting the user that the heat preservation is being completed after cooking.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a porridge cooking lamp LED3, a resistor R4, a diode D3, and a reverse-connected zener diode D5 are sequentially connected between the porridge cooking mode connection end of the single-pole double-throw switch and the other power supply end of the rice cooker. When the single-pole double-throw switch of the function setting button 6 is set to be closed to the porridge cooking mode, the bimetallic temperature control button switch 4, the cooking temperature control switch 5, the function setting button 6, the porridge cooking lamp LED3, the resistor R4, the diode D3, the reverse-connected zener diode D5, and the fuse FS form a loop, so that the porridge cooking lamp LED3 emits light, prompting the user that porridge is being cooked, wherein the reverse-connected zener diode D5 is used to prevent the porridge cooking lamp LED3 from secretly lighting up.
