[0073] A cooking appliance. Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown in Figure 1 which is an overall schematic diagram of the cooking appliance in an embodiment; Figure 2 Figure 2 is an exploded schematic diagram of the first pot body 510 in an embodiment. The above cooking appliance may include a lid assembly 200, a pot body assembly 100, a heating component 600, a chassis 900, a rotating component 110 and a first pot body 510.

[0074] The lid assembly 200 is covered on the pot body assembly 100, for example, it is detachably covered on the pot body assembly 100 by screwing, or it is detachably covered on the pot body assembly 100 by snap-fitting.

[0075] The heating component 600 is disposed on the pot body assembly 100. For example, it can be disposed on the side wall or the bottom of the pot body assembly 100, or it can be disposed on the lid assembly 200 connected to the pot body assembly 100. Preferably, in this embodiment, the heating component 600 disposed on the side wall of the pot body assembly 100 is taken as an example for illustration.

[0076] The chassis 900 is located at the bottom of the pot body assembly 100, and a through hole 901 is formed in the chassis 900, and preferably, the through hole 901 is disposed at the center of the chassis 900.

[0077] The rotating component 110 is disposed between the bottom of the chassis 900 and the bottom of the pot body assembly 100. Preferably, the chassis 900 is disposed at the bottom of the pot body assembly 100 through a fixing component, so that there is a certain gap between the chassis 900 and the pot body assembly 100. The rotating component 110 is disposed on the bottom of the pot body assembly 100 at a position opposite to the through hole 901. In this way, the rotating shaft 112 of the rotating component 110 is aligned with the through hole 901 and extends into the through hole 901. And in order not to affect the rotation of the first pot body 510, the height of the rotating shaft 112 of the rotating component 110 is less than the height of the chassis 900, that is to say, the height of the rotating shaft 112 is lower than the height of the chassis 900. In this way, although the rotating shaft 112 extends into the through hole 901, it does not extend out of the through hole 901. A transmission shaft 514 is disposed at a position corresponding to the through hole 901 at the bottom of the first pot body 510. In this way, when the first pot body 510 is placed in the pot body assembly 100, the transmission shaft 514 extends into the through hole 901 and is connected to the rotating shaft 112, so that the first pot body 510 can be driven to rotate by the output of the rotating component 110. Optionally, the transmission shaft 514 is foldable. For example, when the first pot body 510 is not in use, the transmission shaft 514 is folded to the bottom of the first pot body 510 and is in a parallel state with the bottom of the first pot body 510. When the first pot body 510 is in use, the transmission shaft 514 is unfolded and is in a vertical state with the bottom of the first pot body 510. Optionally, the rotating component 110 may include a rotating motor 111 and a rotating shaft 112, wherein the rotating motor 111 is fixed to the bottom of the pot body assembly 100, and the rotating shaft 112 is connected to the rotating motor 111. In addition, the rotating motor 111 may be connected to the controller 400 and the power supply to control the rotating motor 111 through the controller 400, and the rotating shaft 112 of the rotating motor 111 is aligned with the above-mentioned through hole 901.

[0078] In addition, in order to make the rotation smoother, at least two rollers 513 are disposed at the edge of the bottom of the first pot body 510. Preferably, in order to ensure stability, the number of rollers 513 is 3 or more. In this way, the rollers 513 contact the edge of the bottom of the pot body assembly 100, and the rotating component 110 drives the first pot body 510 to rotate through the rotating shaft 112 and the transmission shaft 514, so that the heating component 600 uniformly heats the first pot body 510, and the presence of the rollers 513 makes the rotation of the first pot body 510 smoother and avoids jamming.

[0079] In addition, in order to make the rotation smoother, the height of the rollers 513 is slightly higher than the height of the chassis 900. In this way, when the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, there is a certain gap between the bottom of the first pot body 510 and the chassis 900, thereby avoiding the problem of unsmooth rotation caused by friction between the chassis 900 and the first pot body 510.

[0080] Optionally, a controller 400 is further provided on the outer side wall of the pot body assembly 100. The controller 400 can be connected to the heating component 600 and the rotating component 110 to control the operation of the heating component 600 and the rotating component 110. For example, after the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the transmission shaft 514 is connected to the rotating shaft 112 of the rotating component 110, the roller 513 is located at the edge of the bottom of the pot body assembly 100, and the pot lid assembly 200 is closed. Then, the heating component 600 is started through the controller 400, so that the heating component 600 heats the first pot body 510. At the same time, the rotating component 110 is started or the rotating component 110 is started after the heating component 600 is heated to a certain temperature. The rotating component 110 outputs a driving force to make the first pot body 510 rotate inside the pot body assembly 100, so that the heat generated by the heating component 600 uniformly heats the first pot body 510.

[0081] In the above cooking appliance, by providing the rotating component 110 inside the pot body assembly 100 and the roller 513 at the bottom of the first pot body 510, the first pot body 510 can smoothly slide under the drive of the rotating component 110, so that the heating component 600 can uniformly heat the first pot body 510. And by arranging the roller 513 at the bottom of the first pot body 510, it is avoided to arrange the roller 513 inside the pot body assembly 100, which simplifies the structure and reduces the cost.

[0082] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is an exploded view of the second pot body 520 in an embodiment. The cooking appliance further includes a temperature sensor assembly 700 and a second pot body 520. Among them, the temperature sensor assembly 700 is disposed in the through hole 901, and the height of the temperature sensor assembly 700 is higher than the height of the chassis 900, and the rotating shaft 112 passes through the temperature sensor assembly 700 so that when the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the rotating shaft 112 is connected to the transmission shaft 514; when the second pot body 520 is placed on the pot body assembly 100, the bottom of the second pot body 520 contacts the temperature sensor assembly 700 so that the temperature sensor assembly 700 collects the temperature of the second pot body 520.

[0083] Specifically, the temperature sensor 701 can be disposed in the through hole 901 and its height is slightly higher than the height of the chassis 900. In addition, the height of the temperature sensor 701 should also ensure that when the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the bottom of the first pot body 510 does not contact the temperature sensor 701. That is to say, the rotating shaft 112 passes through the temperature sensor 701 and is connected to the transmission shaft 514, and the transmission shaft 514 and the roller 513 support the first pot body 510 to ensure that the bottom of the first pot body 510 does not contact the temperature sensor 701, so as to ensure that the rotation of the first pot body 510 is smoother.

[0084] When the second pot body 520 is placed on the pot body assembly 100, since the second pot body 520 is not supported by the transmission shaft 514 and the roller 513, the bottom of the second pot body 520 contacts the temperature sensor 701, so that the temperature sensor assembly 700 can collect the temperature of the second pot body 520. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the second pot body 520 in the pot body assembly 100, the size of the second pot body 520 needs to be adapted to the size of the pot body assembly 100, and the height of the temperature sensor 701 protruding from the chassis 900 is not very high, for example, 0.2 cm or 0.5 cm is sufficient.

[0085] In the above embodiment, it has both the functions of rotary heating and temperature control by the temperature sensor 701, so that the cooking appliance can be used for rotary roasting and baking as functions such as barbecue roasting, and can also collect the temperature through the temperature sensor 701 to be used as a pressure cooker.

[0086] In one of the embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, Figure 4 is a partial cross-sectional schematic view of the cooking appliance in one embodiment; Figure 5Internal structure diagram of a cooking appliance in an embodiment; the temperature sensor assembly 700 includes: a housing 702, a temperature sensor 701, and an elastic member 703. The temperature sensor 701 is disposed within the housing 702, and the pins of the temperature sensor 701 are outside the housing 702 to sense temperature. A rotary shaft hole 705 is provided on the housing 702, so that the rotary shaft 112 can pass through the rotary shaft hole 705 on the housing 702 and the through hole 901 on the chassis 900. Thus, when the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the rotary shaft 112 can be connected to the transmission shaft 514. One end of the elastic member 703 is connected to the housing 702, such as the lower surface of the housing 702, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the pot body assembly 100. The elastic member 703 is in a compressed state to push out the upper surface of the temperature sensor 701, so that the height of the temperature sensor assembly 700 is higher than the height of the chassis 900. Thus, when the second pot body 520 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the temperature sensor 701 can contact the bottom of the second pot body 520 to collect the temperature of the second pot body 520.

[0087] Optionally, the temperature sensor 701 is also connected to a power source and a controller 400 to control the operation of the temperature sensor 701 through the controller 400 and receive the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 701, so as to perform temperature control.

[0088] In addition, the elastic member 703 can be an elastic member 703 with a cavity in the middle, so that the rotary shaft 112 of the rotary member 110 at the bottom of the fixed pot body assembly 100 can extend into the cavity, then into the rotary shaft hole 705 on the housing 702, and the through hole 901 on the chassis 900. Thus, when the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the rotary shaft 112 can be connected to the transmission shaft 514 at the bottom of the first pot body 510.

[0089] Preferably, the elastic member 703 is a spring. When the first pot body 510 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the rotary shaft 112 passes through the central cavity of the spring and the rotary shaft hole 705 to be connected to the transmission shaft 514; when the second pot body 520 is placed inside the pot body assembly 100, the spring is further compressed, and the upper surface of the temperature sensor 701 is pushed out to be higher than the height of the chassis 900, so that the bottom of the second pot body 520 contacts the temperature sensor assembly 700.

[0090] In one embodiment, guide posts 511 are further provided at the bottom of the chassis 900, and a card slot 704 is provided on the outer shell 702. The outer shell 702 is fixed in the through hole 901 through the card slot 704 and the guide posts 511. At the edge of the through hole 901 at the bottom of the chassis 900, guide posts 511 are provided in the extending direction towards the bottom of the pot body assembly 100, and the number of them can be multiple. Thus, a card slot 704 is provided on the outer shell 702, so that the outer shell 702 can be clamped on the guide posts 511 through the card slot 704, ensuring that the outer shell 702 can only move along the direction of the guide posts 511 and preventing the temperature sensor 701 from tilting.

[0091] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown in Figure 6 is the structural view of the first pot body 510 in one embodiment; Figure 7 is the structural view of the second pot body 520 in one embodiment. A second air grille 512 is provided on the first pot body 510, and the second air grille 512 is evenly arranged on the side wall of the first pot body 510 to ensure that the heat dissipated by the heating component 600 enters the first pot body 510 evenly; the heating component 600 is arranged on the side wall of the pot body assembly 100. When the first pot body 510 is placed in the pot body assembly 100, the rotating component 110 drives the first pot body 510 to rotate, and the heating component 600 heats the first pot body 510 evenly. The traditional shaft at the bottom of the first pot body 510 can be hollow, and the internal shape matches the external shape of the rotating shaft 112, so as to receive the power output by the rotating component 110. The rollers 513 at the bottom of the first pot body 510 can be fixed to the bottom of the first pot body 510 through roller brackets. For example, the roller brackets are arranged at the bottom of the first pot body 510 through bolts, and the rollers 513 are fixed to the roller brackets through bolts. For example, the center of the roller 513 is fixed on the roller bracket.

[0092] The second pot body 520 is an ordinary sealed pot body. When it is placed in the pot body assembly 100, a sealed space is formed with the pot cover assembly 200, and then it is heated, so that the pressure in the second pot body 520 increases for high-pressure heating.

[0093] Optionally, the above-mentioned chassis 900 can be a heating plate, which is arranged at the bottom of the pot body assembly 100. When the second pot body 520 is placed on the pot body assembly 100, the second pot body 520 and the pot lid assembly 200 form a sealed pressure space. The heating plate heats the second pot body 520. Under the action of gravity, the second pot body 520 comes into contact with the temperature sensor 701, so that the temperature sensor 701 collects the temperature of the second pot body 520, thereby precisely controlling the cooking process through the temperature sensor 701. In addition, when the second pot body 520 is placed on the pot body assembly 100, the heating component 600 can also heat the second pot body 520 to improve the heating speed.

[0094] Optionally, the cooking appliance further includes a convection component 300. The convection component 300 is arranged on the side wall of the pot body assembly 100, and the heating component 600 is located between the convection component 300 and the pot body assembly 100. The convection component 300 can include a fan motor 301, a support frame 302 and a fan blade 303. The fan motor 301 is fixed on the support frame 302 and is connected to the fan blade 303. Thus, the fan motor 301 can drive the fan blade 303 to rotate to generate air flow. The convection component 300 is fixed on the outer side wall of the pot body assembly 100 and is in air communication with the inside of the pot body assembly 100 through the ventilation grid of the pot body assembly 100.

[0095] Optionally, ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of the pot body assembly 100, and a first ventilation grille 120 is provided on the ventilation holes. The heating component 600 is fixed on the support frame 302 and is located between the fan blade 303 and the pot body assembly 100. The support frame 302 is fixed facing the ventilation holes. In this way, when the fan blade 303 generates air flow, the air flows through the heating component 600 and then flows into the inside of the pot body assembly 100 after being heated, thereby heating the first pot body 510 or the second pot body 520 inside the pot body assembly 100.

[0096] In addition, after the heating is completed through the second pot body 520, the convection assembly can be started, so that air flow can be generated to quickly discharge the hot air inside the pot body assembly 100, thereby accelerating the cooling.

[0097] In one embodiment, the inside of the pot body assembly 100 further includes an outer pot 800. A first ventilation grille 120 is provided on the side wall of the outer pot 800. The position of the first ventilation grille 120 corresponds to the position of the ventilation holes of the pot body assembly 100. The chassis 900 and the rotating component 110 are both arranged at the bottom of the outer pot 800, which will not be elaborated here.

[0098] Please refer to Figures 8 to 11 as shown in Figure 8 a partial cross-sectional view of the cooking appliance with the first pot body 510 placed therein in one embodiment; Figure 9Overall sectional view of the first pot body 510 placed in a cooking appliance in an embodiment; Figure 10 Partial sectional view of the second pot body 520 placed in a cooking appliance in an embodiment; Figure 11 Overall sectional view of the second pot body 520 placed in a cooking appliance in an embodiment.

[0099] The cooking appliance specifically includes a pot body assembly 100, a lid assembly 200, a convection component 300, a controller 400, a temperature sensor assembly 700, a first pot body 510, and a second pot body 520. Optionally, in this embodiment, an outer pot 800 is installed inside the pot body assembly 100. A heating plate, a rotating component 110, and a temperature sensor assembly 700 are installed at the bottom of the outer pot 800. Ventilation grids are provided on the side wall of the outer pot 800. In other embodiments, the cooking appliance may not include the outer pot 800. The convection component 300 includes a fan motor 301, a support frame 302, a fan blade 303, and a heating tube. The rotating component 110 includes a rotating motor 111 and a rotating shaft 112.

[0100] The temperature sensor assembly 700 is assembled at the bottom of the outer pot 800 and includes a temperature sensor 701, a housing 702, and a spring. The temperature sensor 701 is assembled inside the housing 702 and can move together with the housing 702. The spring is assembled at the lower part of the housing 702. One end of the spring contacts the bottom of the housing 702, and the other end contacts the bottom of the outer pot 800. The spring is always in a compressed state. The temperature sensor 701 is connected to the controller 400 through a wire and can transmit the collected temperature value to the controller 400.

[0101] A through hole 901 is provided in the middle of the heating plate. The temperature sensor assembly 700 is assembled in the through hole 901. A slot 704 structure is provided on the housing 702, and a guide post 511 is provided on the heating plate. The slot 704 cooperates with the guide post 511 to prevent the temperature sensor assembly 700 from being skewed and stuck during use. A rotating shaft hole 705 is provided in the center of the housing 702. The rotating motor 111 is installed at the bottom of the outer pot 800. The rotating shaft 112 passes through the rotating shaft hole 705 and is slightly lower than the outer surface of the heating plate in height.

[0102] A drive shaft 514 is provided at the center of the bottom of the first pot body 510. During the cooking process, the drive shaft 514 cooperates with the rotating shaft 112 to transmit the driving force of the rotating motor 111 to the first pot body 510, driving the first pot body 510 to rotate. A plurality of rollers 513 are provided on the side of the bottom of the first pot body 510. The rollers 513 are in contact with the peripheral surface of the bottom of the outer pot 800 to support the first pot body 510. During the rotation process, a gap is formed between the bottom of the first pot body 510 and the outer surface of the heating plate and the top of the housing 702 of the temperature sensor 701, avoiding friction during the rotation of the first pot body 510. The side wall of the first pot body 510 is provided with ventilation grids, through which air exchange can be carried out with the convection assembly. The bottom of the second pot body 520 is an arc that fits the surface of the heating plate. Optionally, a track can also be provided at the bottom edge of the pot body assembly 100 or the outer pot 800 to facilitate the movement of the rollers 513.

[0103] Among them, as Figure 8 and 9 shown, when the first pot body 510 is placed into the pot body assembly 100, the rollers 513 support on the bottom of the outer pot 800, the rotating shaft 112 is inserted into the drive shaft 514, and a certain gap is formed between the bottom of the first pot body 510 and the heating plate and the housing 702. The first pot body 510 rotates smoothly driven by the rotating motor 111. Put the food into the first pot body 510, cover the pot lid assembly 200, and start the fan motor 301 and the heating tube of the convection assembly through the controller 400, so that the food for barbecue cooking is evenly heated, achieving a good cooking experience.

[0104] Among them, as Figure 10 and 11 shown, when the second pot body 520 is placed into the pot body, due to the gravity, the center of the second pot body 520 presses the temperature sensor assembly 700 downward, and the spring is further compressed. Under the reaction force of the spring, the housing 702 of the temperature sensor 701 is in close contact with the bottom of the second pot body 520, achieving the effect of accurate temperature sensing. At the same time, the bottom of the second pot body 520 fits well with the outer surface of the heating plate. Put the food into the pot body, and screw on the pot lid assembly 200. The pot lid assembly 200 and the second pot body 520 form a sealed container. Start the heating plate through the controller 400. Since the temperature sensor 701 can collect the temperature of the bottom of the second pot body 520 at any time and transmit it to the controller 400 for accurate control of the temperature of the cooked food, the effect of automatic pressure cooking is realized, achieving a good cooking experience.

[0105] This application realizes automatic pressure cooking through the accurate temperature control of the pressure cooking by the temperature sensor 701. At the same time, through the barbecue pot body with rollers 513, friction and jamming during the rotation baking process are avoided, making the rotation smoother and the baking more uniform, achieving good effects in pressure cooking and barbecue cooking.
