DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth numerous specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 3 , the cooking device 10 in one embodiment of the present invention can at least improve the convenience of operation, and thus improve the convenience of the cooking device 10 in serving food. Specifically, the cooking device 10 includes an outer shell 100, an inner pot 200, a heating component 300 and a lifting component 400. A accommodating cavity 110 is formed on the outer shell 100, and an opening on one side of the outer shell 100 forms an inlet 120 connected to the accommodating cavity 110. The inner pot 200 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 110 through the inlet 120. The heating component 300 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 110 and is located between the inner pot 200 and the outer shell 100. The heating component 300 is provided with a movable hole 310 on a side facing the inner pot 200. The lifting assembly 400 is disposed on the outer shell 100 and is located between the outer shell 100 and the heating assembly 300 . The lifting assembly 400 is used to push the inner container 200 toward the inlet 120 through the movable hole 310 .

[0039] When the cooking device 10 is in use, the inner pot 200 is placed into the accommodating cavity 110 of the outer shell 100 through the inlet 120 of the outer shell 100. The heating component 300 is disposed between the inner pot 200 and the outer shell 100. The inner pot 200 is heated by the heating component 300, thereby cooking the food in the inner pot 200. Figure 5 and Figure 6 When cooking is completed, the inner pot 200 is pushed through the movable hole 310 of the heating component 300 by the lifting component 400, so that the inner pot 200 moves toward the inlet 120, and then the inner pot 200 is lifted from the accommodating cavity 110, making it convenient to take the inner pot 200 out of the outer shell 100, and then conveniently pouring out the dishes in the inner pot 200. At the same time, it is also convenient to clean the inner pot 200, and it can prevent the cleaning water from contacting the outer shell 100 and other components, making the cleaning process safer. Since the lifting component 400 is arranged between the outer shell 100 and the heating component 300, and the lifting component 400 pushes the inner pot 200 through the movable hole 310, the lifting component 400 can be effectively used to set the space on the outer shell 100 where the heating component 300 is arranged. The size between the inner pot 200 and the outer shell 100 is avoided from increasing due to the setting of the lifting component 400, which is conducive to the compactness of the cooking device 10.

[0040] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the heating component 300 includes a mounting plate 320 and a heating element 330, the movable hole 310 is opened on the mounting plate 320, and the heating element 330 is arranged on the mounting plate 320. Specifically, the mounting plate 320 is arranged below the bottom wall of the inner liner 200, and the heating element 330 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 320 facing the inner liner 200. The installation of the heating element 330 is facilitated by providing the mounting plate 320, thereby facilitating the heating of the inner liner 200 by the heating element 330. In this embodiment, the heating element 330 is a heating wire. In other embodiments, the heating element 330 can also be a thermistor, a conductive coating, an electric heating film, etc., as long as it can achieve heating of the inner liner 200.

[0041] In one embodiment, a retaining ring 340 is provided on the mounting plate 320. The retaining ring 340 is disposed around the movable hole 310. The heating element 330 is disposed on the mounting plate 320 and is located outside the retaining ring 340. Providing the retaining ring 340 on the mounting plate 320 can achieve a certain degree of heat blocking effect on the heating element 330, preventing the heat of the heating element 330 from being directly radiated from the movable hole 310 and transferred to the lifting assembly 400, thereby affecting the stability of the lifting assembly 400.

[0042] Specifically, retaining ring 340 is integrally formed on mounting plate 320, thereby improving the stability of retaining ring 340 on mounting plate 320. Furthermore, retaining ring 340 is formed by stretching the inner wall of mounting plate 320, where movable hole 310 is defined. In other embodiments, retaining ring 340 can also be mounted on mounting plate 320 by welding, gluing, screw connection, snap-fit connection, or other methods.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cooking device 10 further includes a thermal insulator 500, which is disposed on the side of the heating assembly 300 facing away from the inner pot 200. The lifting assembly 400 is disposed on the side of the thermal insulator 500 facing away from the heating assembly 300. The thermal insulator 500 is provided with a connecting hole 510 that communicates with the movable hole 310. The lifting assembly 400 can pass through the connecting hole 510 and the movable hole 310 to push the inner pot 200 to move. The provision of the thermal insulator 500 can further prevent heat from the heating assembly 300 from radiating to the lifting assembly 400, further ensuring the stability of the lifting assembly 400 during use. In this embodiment, the thermal insulator 500 is made of insulating cotton. In other embodiments, the thermal insulator 500 can also be made of other materials such as glass fiber, asbestos, silicate, etc. Of course, the thermal insulator 500 can also be an insulating structure such as aerogel felt or a vacuum panel.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, a thermal insulation layer 130 is further provided between the outer shell 100 and the inner pot 200. The provision of the thermal insulation layer 130 further ensures the stability of the heating component 300 heating the inner pot 200, effectively ensuring the temperature stability of the inner pot 200. Specifically, the thermal insulation layer 130 is an annular structure and is disposed around the outer periphery of the inner pot 200. The thermal insulation layer 130 further abuts the thermal insulation member 500, so that the inner pot 200 and the heating component 300 are located within the space enclosed by the thermal insulation member 500 and the thermal insulation layer 130. The cooperation between the thermal insulation member 500 and the thermal insulation layer 130 further improves the stability of the heating component 300 heating the inner pot 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooking of the food in the inner pot 200. At the same time, it also prevents the heat from the inner pot 200 and the heating component 300 from radiating out, affecting the operation of other components of the cooking device 10, or causing the outer shell 100 to heat up, which could easily burn the user.

[0045] In this embodiment, the thermal insulation layer 130 is made of thermal insulation cotton. In other embodiments, the thermal insulation layer 130 can also be made of other materials such as glass fiber, asbestos, silicate, etc. Of course, the thermal insulation layer 130 can also be an insulation structure such as aerogel felt, vacuum panel, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment, the inner liner 200 has a conical structure, and the dimensions of the accommodating cavity 110 match those of the inner liner 200. Alternatively, the dimensions of the accommodating cavity 110 are slightly larger than those of the inner liner 200. By providing the inner liner 200 with a conical structure, the stability of the inner liner 200 within the accommodating cavity 110 can be improved, which helps to reduce the machining precision requirements for the inner liner 200 and the accommodating cavity 110. In other embodiments, the inner liner 200 can also have other structures, such as a cylindrical shape, and the dimensions of the accommodating cavity 110 match those of the inner liner 200, as long as the inner liner 200 can be stably placed in the outer shell.

[0047] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a fitting 210 is provided on the bottom wall of the inner liner 200. The fitting 210 can be inserted into the movable hole 310, and the lifting assembly 400 is used to push the fitting 210. The provision of the fitting 210 facilitates the lifting assembly 400's pushing of the inner liner 200, preventing the lifting assembly 400 from directly pushing the inner liner 200 and causing heat from the inner liner 200 to be directly transferred to the lifting assembly 400. Furthermore, because the fitting 210 can be inserted into the movable hole 310, it further prevents heat from the heating assembly 300 from being directly transferred to the lifting assembly 400, allowing heat radiated to the movable hole 310 to be first transferred to the fitting 210.

[0048] In one embodiment, the mating member 210 includes a supporting portion 212 and a mating portion 214 disposed on the supporting portion 212. The supporting portion 212 is disposed on the bottom wall of the inner container 200. The mating portion 214 is formed by the supporting portion 212 being recessed away from the inner container. The mating portion 214 can be inserted into the movable hole 310. Specifically, the mating member 210 is a plate-like structure, with the middle portion of the mating member 210 recessed to form the mating portion 214, and the unrecessed portion forming the supporting portion 212. Because the mating member 210 is integrally formed from a sheet-like structure, the weight of the mating member 210 is relatively low.

[0049] In other embodiments, the fitting member 210 may also be a block structure or other structures. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the fitting member 210 may be omitted.

[0050] See also Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 400 is provided with a first positioning portion 410, and the mating member 210 is provided with a second positioning portion. The mating member 210 is inserted into the movable hole 310 so that the first positioning portion 410 and the second positioning portion cooperate with each other. The second positioning portion is movable relative to the first positioning portion 410 along the direction of the inner liner 200 toward the insertion port 120. The cooperation between the first positioning portion 410 and the second positioning portion can effectively improve the stability of the inner liner 200 in the accommodating cavity 110 of the outer shell 100, thereby preventing the inner liner 200 from rotating in the circumferential direction of the inner liner 200 relative to the lifting assembly 400. Since the lifting assembly 400 is provided on the outer shell 100, the inner liner 200 is prevented from rotating relative to the outer shell 100 in the accommodating cavity 110.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first positioning portion 410 is a non-cylindrical rod-shaped structure, and the second positioning portion is a positioning hole 212 structure that matches the size of the first positioning portion 410. The first positioning portion 410 can be inserted into the positioning hole 212. Because the first positioning portion 410 is a non-cylindrical rod-shaped structure, when the first positioning portion 410 is inserted into the positioning hole 212, it can effectively limit the rotation of the first positioning portion 410 relative to the positioning hole 212, thereby limiting the rotation of the inner liner 200 relative to the lifting assembly 400. In another embodiment, the second positioning portion can also be a non-cylindrical rod-shaped structure, and the first positioning portion 410 can be a positioning hole structure. As long as the first positioning portion 410 and the second positioning portion can cooperate to achieve the positioning function of the inner liner 200 on the lifting assembly 400, it will be sufficient.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first positioning portion 410 is D-shaped, and the shape and size of the positioning hole 212 on the mating member 210 match the size and shape of the first positioning portion 410. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the first positioning portion 410 can also have other shapes, as long as the first positioning portion 410 and the second positioning portion are prevented from rotating relative to each other.

[0053] In other embodiments, the first positioning portion can also be set on the heating component 300 or the outer shell 100, and the second positioning portion can also be set on the outer wall of the inner liner 200, as long as the positioning of the inner liner 200 in the accommodating cavity 110 can be achieved through the cooperation of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion.

[0054] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 400 further includes a limiting portion 440. The first positioning portion 410 is disposed on the limiting portion 440. The limiting portion 440 cooperates with the first positioning portion 410 to form a stepped structure. The first positioning portion 410 is inserted into the positioning hole 212 so that the limiting portion 440 abuts against the mating member 210. The provision of the limiting portion 440 can further limit the position of the mating member 210, thereby improving the stability of the positioning of the liner 200.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first positioning portion 410 is integrally formed on the limiting portion 440 to ensure the stability of the first positioning portion 410. In other embodiments, the first positioning portion 410 can also be provided on the limiting portion 440 by other connection methods such as welding.

[0056] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 400 includes a pusher 420 and a driving member 430. The driving member 430 is disposed on the housing 100 and is used to drive the pusher 420 to move. The pusher 420 can pass through the movable hole 310 and abut against the inner container 200. The driving member 430 facilitates driving the pusher 420, and facilitates pushing the inner container 200.

[0057] Specifically, the pusher 420 includes a nut and a screw that cooperates with the nut. A driver 430 drives the nut to rotate, thereby moving the screw relative to the nut, thereby utilizing the nut to push the inner pot 200. The coordination between the nut and the screw allows the pusher 420 to have a smaller radial dimension, further contributing to the compactness of the cooking device 10 and preventing the need for the pusher 420 from causing the cooking device 10 to be oversized.

[0058] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 400 is an electric push rod. In other embodiments, the lifting assembly 400 can also be a gear rack structure driven by a motor, with the rack being used to push the inner container 200 to move. Alternatively, it can be other mechanisms capable of pushing the inner container 200 to move.

[0059] Please also refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, there are at least three pushing members 420, and the at least three pushing members 420 are arranged on non-colinear lines. The driving member 430 is used to drive the different pushing members 420 to move simultaneously, and the different pushing members 420 can all pass through the movable hole 310 and abut against the inner liner 200. Because the at least three pushing members 420 are arranged on non-colinear lines and can simultaneously push the inner liner 200 to move, the stability of the pushing of the inner liner 200 is improved, and the inner liner 200 can be prevented from tilting during the pushing process, which would affect the stability of the inner liner 200.

[0060] In this embodiment, there are three pushers 420, and the three pushers 420 are arranged on non-colinear lines. The positions of the three pushers 420 abutting against the inner liner 200 form a plane, thereby stably pushing the inner liner 200. In other embodiments, the number of pushers 420 can also be four, five, or other numbers, as long as the inner liner 200 can be stably pushed. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of pushers 420 can also be one or two, as long as the inner liner 200 can be pushed up.

[0061] In one embodiment, the cooking device 10 further includes a rotating member disposed on the housing 100, configured to drive the housing 100 to rotate the inner pot 200. When cooking is required, the rotating member drives the housing 100 to rotate the inner pot 200, thereby stirring the food in the inner pot 200 and achieving a stir-frying effect.

[0062] See also Figure 7 In one embodiment, a stirring portion 220 is provided on the inner wall of the inner pot 200. The stirring portion 220 can stir the food in the inner pot 200. Specifically, the stirring portion 220 is provided on the bottom wall of the inner pot 200. Since food generally accumulates on the bottom wall of the inner pot 200, the stirring effect of the food can be improved by providing the stirring portion 220 on the bottom wall of the inner pot 200.

[0063] In one embodiment, there are multiple stirring parts 220, and the multiple stirring parts 220 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the inner container 200. Specifically, there are three stirring parts 220, and the three stirring parts 220 are evenly arranged on the bottom wall of the inner container 200. Alternatively, there can be other numbers of stirring parts 220.

[0064] In one embodiment, the stirring portion 220 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the inner pot 200, improving the stability of the stirring portion 220 on the inner pot 200. In this embodiment, the stirring portion 220 is formed by a protrusion from the inner wall of the inner pot 200, further ensuring the stability of the stirring portion 220 on the inner pot 200. In other embodiments, the stirring portion 220 can also be detachably mounted on the inner pot 200. After cooking, the stirring portion 220 can be removed, facilitating cleaning of the stirring portion 220 and the inner pot 200.

[0065] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the cooking device 10 further includes a cover 600, which is openably disposed at the inlet 120 of the housing 100. The cover 600 facilitates sealing the inlet 120, thereby sealing the inner pot 200, thereby preventing the food in the inner pot 200 from leaking out during cooking.

[0066] In one embodiment, a resilient seal 610 is provided on the side of the cover 600 facing the inner liner 200, and the resilient seal 610 is capable of abutting against the inner liner 200. When the cover 600 is placed on the inlet 120 of the outer shell 100, the resilient seal 610 abuts against the inner liner 200, effectively sealing the inner liner 200 and preventing the inner liner 200 from directly colliding with the cover 600 or the outer shell 100.

[0067] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the cooking device 10 further includes a locking structure 700, which is disposed on the cover 600 or the housing 100 and is used to lock the cover 600 to the housing 100. The provision of the locking structure 700 can further improve the stability of the cover 600 and prevent the cover 600 from moving relative to the housing 100 when closed.

[0068] In this embodiment, the locking structure 700 is an electronic lock, which is installed on the housing 100. The cover 600 is provided with a lock hole 620, and the lock tongue of the electronic lock can be inserted into the lock hole 620. The provision of the electronic lock can further improve the stability of the cover 600 on the housing 100, effectively preventing the cover 600 from opening due to misoperation during the cooking process.

[0069] In another embodiment, the locking structure 700 is an electronic lock, which is provided on the cover 600. The housing 100 is provided with a lock hole, and the lock tongue of the electronic lock can be inserted into the lock hole. The provision of the electronic lock can further improve the stability of the cover 600 during the cooking process.

[0070] In other embodiments, the locking structure 700 may also be a snap-fit structure, so that when the cover 600 is covered on the housing 100 , the cover 600 can be snap-fitted on the housing 100 through the locking structure 700 .
