Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a common cooking appliance, induction cooker has the advantages of fast heating, no open flame, safety and convenience, and is favored and recognized by more and more consumers.

[0003] Since the cooking effect of cooking utensils is closely related to the amount of ingredients added by the user, a weighing function is often added to induction cookers to obtain the weight of the ingredients before cooking begins, or to obtain the weight of the ingredients in real time during the cooking process, and to adjust the heating parameters such as heating power, heating time and heating rate according to the weight of the ingredients to ensure that the ingredients have the best cooking taste. In current induction cookers, the weighing device is generally set in the support foot pad of the induction cooker. As ingredients are added to the pot of the induction cooker, the weight borne by the support foot pad of the induction cooker gradually increases. The weighing device can obtain the weight borne by the support foot pad of the induction cooker in real time, and use this weight as the weight of the ingredients to adjust the heating parameters.

[0004] However, the weight of the induction cooker's support foot pads includes the weight of the induction cooker itself, the weight of the pot, and the weight of the ingredients. Therefore, the current weighing method cannot accurately obtain the weight of the ingredients, resulting in deviations in the regulation of the induction cooker's heating parameters, and poor cooking effects and taste of the ingredients. Summary of the invention

Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of a pot bottom of a cooking utensil provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 A top view of the bottom of a pot of a cooking utensil provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 for Figure 3 Detail of part B. Figure 6 for Figure 3 Detail of section C.

[0072] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cooking utensil provided in this embodiment comprises a heating device 10 and a pot 20 arranged on the heating surface of the heating device 10. At least one connecting assembly 30, at least one coupling assembly 40 and at least one weighing device 50 are arranged between the pot 20 and the heating device 10. The weighing device 50 and the at least one coupling assembly 40 are both located in the connecting assembly 30, and the weighing device 50 and the coupling assembly 40 are both electrically connected to the controller of the heating device 10. The connecting assembly 30 comprises a first connecting portion 31 arranged on the heating device 10 and a second connecting portion 32 arranged on the pot 20, and the coupling assembly 40 comprises a first coupling member arranged on the first connecting portion 31 and a second coupling member 41 arranged on the second connecting portion 32 and electrically connected to the first coupling member.

[0073] It should be noted that the cooking utensil provided in this embodiment may include a pot 20 and a heating device 10, wherein the heating device 10 may adopt electromagnetic heating, electric heating or gas heating, such as an induction cooker, an electric hot pot or a gas stove, etc., and this embodiment does not limit the type and model of the cooking utensil, nor is it limited to the above examples. The pot 20 used in conjunction with the heating device 10 may include a pot body 22, and a pot cover 21 on the pot body 22 may be provided or not provided as required during use, and the pot cover 21 and the pot body 22 may be provided as a separate structure or as a connected structure. The pot 20 may be a stew pot, a frying pan or a steamer, etc., and this embodiment also does not limit the type of the pot 20, nor is it limited to the above examples.

[0074] Reference Figure 1 As shown, after the pot 20 and the heating device 10 are connected, the panel 11 of the heating device 10 can correspond to the pot bottom 23 of the pot 20, wherein the panel 11 of the heating device 10 can include a heating panel 112 and a control panel 111, and the heating panel 112 can correspond to the heating structure inside the heating device 10. Taking the induction cooker as an example, the heating panel 112 can be located above the coil disk, so that the heat of the heating structure is transferred to the heating panel 112. The control panel 111 can be located on one side of the heating panel 112, and the control panel 111 is provided with a control key or a control button. When in use, the pot bottom 23 of the pot 20 can be placed on the heating panel 112 to obtain the heat transferred by the heating panel 112.

[0075] The pot 20 can be made of different materials according to the heating method of the heating device 10. For example, when the heating device 10 is electromagnetic heating, at least part of the bottom 23 of the pot 20 can be made of magnetic conductive parts. The present embodiment does not limit the specific material of the pot 20.

[0076] Specifically, the cookware 20 and the heating device 10 can be set as a split structure, that is, a connecting assembly 30 is arranged between the two, the first connecting portion 31 of the connecting assembly 30 can be located on the heating device 10, and the second connecting portion 32 can be located on the cookware 20, and the cookware 20 is connected or further fixed to the heating device 10 through the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32. The first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​structure or a chimeric structure, and the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 can be connected. The connection relationship is locked by a locking device, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the cookware 20 and the heating device 10 and avoiding shaking or dislocation during use.

[0077] A weighing device 50 and a coupling assembly 40 are also provided in the connection assembly 30, wherein the coupling assembly 40 includes a first coupling member (not shown in the figure) provided on the first connection portion 31 and a second coupling member 41 provided on the second connection portion 32 and electrically coupled to the first coupling member. When the cooking utensil is in use, the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are connected to each other, so that the first coupling member and the second coupling member 41 are electrically coupled to each other, and the coupling assembly 40 is electrically connected to the controller of the heating device 10, thereby realizing the communication connection between the pot 20 and the heating device 10, so that the controller of the heating device 10 can obtain the information of the heating state of the pot 20 in time, and adjust the heating parameters of the heating device 10 itself.

[0078] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a weighing device 50 is provided in the connection assembly 30, and the weighing device 50 is also electrically connected to the controller of the heating device 10. When in use, the weighing device 50 can simultaneously obtain the weight of the pot 20 and the food added in the pot 20, and send the weight information of the pot 20 and the food to the controller at the same time. Based on the fact that the pot 20 provided in this embodiment is connected and used in conjunction with the heating device 10 through the connection assembly 30, the weight of the pot 20 is a fixed value, and the storage device of the controller stores the initial weight of the pot 20. The controller can accurately determine the individual weight of the food in the pot 20 according to the initial weight of the pot 20 and the measured weight of the pot 20 and the food, so that the heating device 10 can adjust the heating parameters according to the weight of the food, improve the suitability of the heating process of the heating device 10 and the food of different weights, avoid the problem of the food being stuck in the pot or undercooked, improve its cooking effect, and optimize the cooking taste.

[0079] The heating parameters may include the heating rate, the heat preservation time and the termination temperature of the heating device 10 , and the specific type of the heating parameters is not limited in this embodiment.

[0080] As an achievable implementation, a connection assembly 30 is provided between the cookware 20 and the heating device 10, and the weighing device 50 and the coupling assembly 40 are both located in the connection assembly 30. The weighing device 50 can be provided in the first connection portion 31 together with the first coupling member, or can be provided in the second connection portion 32 together with the second coupling member 41.

[0081] As another feasible embodiment, a plurality of connecting components 30 are arranged between the cooker 20 and the heating device 10, the weighing device 50 and at least one coupling component 40 are both located in the same connecting component 30, the weighing device 50 is located on the connecting surface 33 of the first connecting part 31 or the second connecting part 32, and the coupling component 40 is arranged adjacent to the weighing device 50.

[0082] It should be noted that when the heating device 10 and at least one weighing device 50 are located in the same connecting assembly 30, the weighing device 50 can be located on the connecting surface 33 of the first connecting portion 31 or the second connecting portion 32, and the weighing device 50 can be arranged adjacent to the first coupling member on the first connecting portion 31, or the second coupling member 41 on the second connecting portion 32. Taking the case where the weighing device 50 is located at the first connecting portion 31 as an example, the weighing device 50 and the first coupling member can be arranged at both ends of the extending direction of the connecting surface 33 of the first connecting portion 31, respectively, or the weighing device 50 can be arranged on the side of the first coupling member close to or away from the heating device 10, with a spacing between the two, so as to avoid mutual influence between the two during operation. This embodiment does not limit the specific manner in which the weighing device 50 and the coupling assembly 40 are arranged adjacent to each other and the spacing between the two.

[0083] As a preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first connection portion 31 is located on the side wall of the heating device 10 , and the second connection portion 32 is located on the side wall of the cooker 20 , and the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32 are disposed at corresponding positions.

[0084] It should be noted that, based on the fact that during the use of the cooking utensil, the bottom 23 of the pot 20 needs to be placed on the heating panel 112 of the heating device 10 to achieve heat transfer. The first connecting portion 31 is arranged on the side wall of the heating device 10, and the second connecting portion 32 is arranged on the side wall of the pot 20, so as to avoid the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 affecting the close contact between the bottom 23 of the pot 20 and the heating panel 112, thereby reducing the heat loss of the heat transfer between the two and improving the heating efficiency of the cooking utensil.

[0085] Furthermore, the first connection part 31 is arranged on the side wall of the heating device 10, and the second connection part 32 is arranged on the side wall of the pot 20. Both are located on the outer wall of the cooking utensil, which can facilitate the user to operate the connection or disassembly process of the first connection part 31 and the second connection part 32, thereby reducing the difficulty of operating the cooking utensil.

[0086] It can be realized that when a plurality of connection components 30 are arranged between the cooker 20 and the heating device 10, the plurality of connection components 30 are arranged between the cooker 20 and the heating device 10 in a centrally symmetrical manner with respect to the axis of the cooking utensil. It should be noted that such an arrangement can facilitate the connection of different connection components 30 at different positions of the cooker 20 and the heating device 10, thereby improving the connection stability from different positions between the two in a targeted manner.

[0087] As another achievable implementation, refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the weighing device 50 and the coupling assembly 40 can also be located in different connecting assemblies 30, so that the two can avoid mutual interference during use. The weighing device 50 and the coupling assembly 40 are located in the connecting assembly 30 that is relatively arranged with the axis of the cooking utensil. In this way, the difficulty of setting the weighing device 50 and the coupling assembly 40 in the cooking utensil can be reduced, and the two are respectively located in the connecting assemblies 30 that are relatively arranged, which can improve the balance of the cooking utensil structure, and facilitate users to timely understand the specific setting positions of the two, reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0088] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the weighing device 50 may include a weighing member 51, the weighing member 51 having a weighing end, and the weighing member 51 is located on the connection surface 33 of one of the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32. When the pot 20 is placed on the heating device 10, the weighing end faces the connection surface 33 of the other of the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32.

[0089] It should be noted that the weighing element 51 can be a weighing sensor, such as a photoelectric weighing sensor, an electromagnetic force weighing sensor, a capacitive weighing sensor, and a resistive strain weighing sensor, etc. The present embodiment does not limit the specific type of the weighing element 51, nor is it limited to the above examples. The weighing element 51 has a weighing end, which can be a sensing port of a weighing sensor. When the weighing end extends and abuts against the connecting surface 33 of the first connecting portion 31 or the second connecting portion 32, the weighing sensor can be in a measuring state, and according to the weight, the current, resistance or capacitance inside the weighing sensor changes accordingly, and finally the corresponding changes in the current, resistance or capacitance are transmitted to the controller.

[0090] Furthermore, the weighing device 50 may further include a weighing support 52, the weighing member 51 being located on the connection surface 33 of one of the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32, and the weighing support 52 being located on the connection surface 33 of the other of the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion 32. When the pot 20 is placed on the heating device 10, the weighing end of the weighing member 51 faces the support surface 521 of the weighing support 52.

[0091] It should be noted that, in order to cooperate with the use of the weighing piece 51, the weighing device 50 of this embodiment may also include a weighing support 52. When the structure and material of the connecting surface 33 are not sufficient to meet the weighing conditions of the weighing piece 51, the weighing support 52 can be used to improve the measurement process or improve the measurement accuracy of the weighing piece 51. For example, when the weighing piece 51 is a resistive strain type weighing sensor, and the connecting surfaces 33 of the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 are both made of non-metallic materials, the resistance of the weighing end of the weighing piece 51 will not change after it approaches the connecting surface 33, resulting in failure of the resistive strain type weighing sensor. At this time, a weighing support 52 made of a metal material can be set on the connecting surface 33 to cooperate with the resistance change of the weighing measurement process of the resistive strain type weighing sensor to complete the measurement process. It can be understood that the specific type of the weighing support 52 can be set according to the type of the weighing piece 51, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0092] As a feasible implementation, when the weighing piece 51 is disposed on the connection surface 33 of the second connection portion 32, the weighing piece 51 is electrically connected to the controller of the heating device 10 through the electrically coupled first coupling piece and the second coupling piece 41. The weighing piece 51 and the controller of the heating device 10 are electrically connected through the coupling assembly 40, so that the weighing piece 51 transmits the weighed weight of the food to the controller in a timely manner, so that the controller can adjust the heating parameters of the heating device 10 according to the food weight information.

[0093] As an optional embodiment, there are multiple coupling components 40, and the first coupling members of the multiple coupling components 40 are arranged one by one on the first connecting parts 31 of the multiple connecting components 30, and the second coupling members 41 of the multiple coupling components 40 are arranged one by one on the second connecting parts 32 of the multiple connecting components 30.

[0094] It should be noted that, in addition to the weight information of the food, other information can also be transmitted between the pot 20 and the heating device 10 of this embodiment, such as the heating temperature of the pot 20, the viscosity of the liquid in the pot 20, and the internal liquid level information of the pot 20, so the coupling component 40 can be set to multiple, so that different coupling components 40 are used to transmit different types of pot 20 information to avoid mutual interference in the information transmission process. And the first coupling members of the multiple coupling components 40 are arranged on the first connecting parts 31 of the multiple connecting components 30 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second coupling members 41 of the multiple coupling components 40 are arranged on the second connecting parts 32 of the multiple connecting components 30 in a one-to-one correspondence. Such a setting can ensure that there is a certain distance between different coupling components 40, and the wiring process will not interfere, so as to improve the stability, accuracy and efficiency of the signal transmission of the cooking appliance.

[0095] As an optional implementation, there are multiple weighing devices 50 , and the multiple weighing devices 50 are arranged on the connecting surfaces 33 of the multiple first connecting parts 31 or the multiple second connecting parts 32 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0096] It should be noted that, based on the fact that the ingredients in the pot 20 may tend to be biased towards a certain area of ​​the pot 20 during the process of adding, the present embodiment provides a plurality of weighing devices 50, and the plurality of weighing devices 50 are respectively arranged on the first connecting portion 31 or the second connecting portion 32 of different connecting components 30, so that the weighing devices 50 at different positions can obtain the weight information of the ingredients at different positions in the pot 20, so as to comprehensively determine the weight of the ingredients based on the weighing results of the plurality of weighing devices 50, thereby improving the accuracy of the weighing of the ingredients.

[0097] Furthermore, since the food inside the pot 20 may boil during use, the pot 20 may shift or shake on the heating device 10, which not only affects the stability of the connection between the heating device 10 and the pot 20, but also affects the weighing process of the weighing device 50. Therefore, a limit assembly 60 may be provided between the heating device 10 and the pot 20 of this embodiment, and the limit assembly 60 includes a first limit member 61 provided on the heating device 10, and a second limit member 62 provided on the pot 20. When the pot 20 is provided on the heating device 10, the first limit member 61 abuts against the second limit member 62 in the horizontal direction to limit the relative movement of the pot 20 and the heating device 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0098] Specifically, as an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1As shown, at least a portion of the panel 11 protrudes toward the cooker 20, and the protruding panel 11 forms a first limit member 61. The bottom 23 of the cooker 20 is provided with an extended edge extending toward the heating device 10, and the extended edge forms a second limit member 62. When the cooker 20 is set on the heating device 10, the extended edge abuts against at least a portion of the side wall of the protruding panel 11.

[0099] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the raised panel 11 can be a part of the heating panel 112, the control panel 111, or any one of the two. The raised panel 11 is higher than the surrounding panels 11, so a step surface is formed at the transition, and the side wall of the raised panel 11 forms the main limiting structure of the first limiting member 61. The extended edge of the pot bottom 23 of the pot 20 can be wrapped in the side circumference direction of the raised panel 11, so that when the pot 20 shakes, the side wall of the raised panel 11 will abut against the extended edge, and the extended edge will limit the range of shaking or displacement of the pot 20, thereby improving the stability of the pot 20.

[0100] It should be pointed out that the raised height of the raised panel 11 is greater than the extended length of the extended edge. When the cooker 20 is placed stably on the heating device 10, the end of the extended edge will not contact any part of the panel 11. The cooker 20 and the heating device 10 are only in contact through the connecting component 30, thereby avoiding the extended edge contacting the panel 11 and affecting the accuracy of weighing the food by the weighing device 50.

[0101] As an optional embodiment, the panel 11 is provided with a limiting edge extending toward the pot 20, the limiting edge forms a first limiting member 61, at least a portion of the pot bottom 23 protrudes toward the heating device 10, and the protruding pot bottom 23 forms a second limiting member 62. When the pot 20 is set on the heating device 10, the limiting edge abuts against at least a portion of the side wall of the protruding pot bottom 23. The extended edge on the panel 11 and the protruding structure of the pot bottom 23 of the pot 20 can refer to the above-mentioned structure of the panel 11 provided with a protrusion and the pot bottom 23 of the pot 20 provided with an extended edge, and the limiting process is similar to the above-mentioned, which will not be repeated here.

[0102] Furthermore, in order to enrich the use functions of the cooking utensil, a temperature detection member and / or an anti-overflow detection member are provided on the pot 20, and the temperature detection member and / or the anti-overflow detection member are electrically connected to the controller of the heating device 10 through the electrically coupled first coupling member and the second coupling member 41. By providing the temperature detection member and the anti-overflow detection member in the pot 20, the heating information and overflow information of the pot 20 can be monitored in real time, the use functions of the cooking utensil are optimized, and the heating device 10 is convenient for accurately controlling the heating temperature of the pot 20, avoiding overflow, and improving the user experience comfort.

[0103] The cooking utensil provided by the embodiment of the present invention improves the connection stability and matching of the two by setting a connection component between the pot and the heating device. By setting a weighing device and a coupling component in the connection component, the pot and the heating device are electrically connected by using the coupling component to realize the transmission of electrical signals between the two, and the weighing device is used to accurately measure the weight of the food in the pot, and ensure that the heating device can obtain the food weight information in time, so that the heating device can adjust the heating parameters according to the weight of the food, thereby improving the cooking effect of the food and optimizing the cooking taste.
