[0037] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of a cookware in an embodiment. In this embodiment, the cookware includes a heating module 100 and a cookware body 200. In addition, depending on different usage scenarios, it can also include at least one of a pot cover 500, a pot core 400 or a baking cage 300 for use in conjunction with the pot.

[0038] The cookware body 200 is provided with at least one heating module installation position 201, optionally, Figure 1 The pot body 200 shown in the figure can be provided with at least one heating module installation position 201. If each surface can be installed with at most one heating module 100, then Figure 1The cookware body 200 shown in the figure can be provided with a maximum of six heating module installation positions 201. In other embodiments, at least one heating module 100 can be installed on each surface of the cookware body 200. For example, in other embodiments, in order to ensure the heating effect, at least two heating module installation positions 201 can be provided on one or more surfaces of the cookware body 200 to ensure that the firepower meets the requirements. In other embodiments, when the cookware body 200 has other shapes, the number of heating module installation positions 201 can be set as needed, that is, the shape of the cookware body 200 is not limited to Figure 1 The cube shown can also be a cylinder or other shape.

[0039] It should be noted that the heating module installation position 201 may refer to an opening on the cookware body 200 , the size of which matches the heating module 100 .

[0040] In order to match the number of heating module installation positions 201 on the cookware body 200, the cookware may include at least one heating module 100. In other embodiments, the cookware may include only one heating module 100, and different heating functions can be achieved by changing the position of the heating module 100. When sold, only one heating module 100 or at least two heating modules 100 may be configured.

[0041] The heating module 100 includes a frame, a fan, and a heating tube. The outer frame is sized to accommodate the size of the heating module mounting location 201 and may be provided with multiple ventilation holes to facilitate air exchange. The heating tube and fan are each secured within the frame. When the heating module 100 is mounted on the cookware body 200, the heating tube is closer to the cookware body 200 than the fan. Specifically, the frame is open on one side, with multiple ventilation holes defined on the side opposite the open side, and the fan is positioned between the ventilation holes and the heating tube.

[0042] in Figure 1 In the embodiment shown in the figure, heating module installation positions 201 are provided only on the side walls and the top of the cookware body 200, and only one heating module 100 is included. In other embodiments, the heating module installation positions 201 and the number of heating modules 100 can be set as needed and are not limited here.

[0043] In order to ensure that the heating module 100 is powered and the cookware operates normally, a power supply can be provided on the cookware body 200. A power supply contact point is provided at the heating module installation position 201 of the cookware body 200. When the heating module 100 is installed at the corresponding heating module installation position 201, the power supply is contacted and thus powered. In order to ensure safety, the power supply contact points at the heating module installation positions 201 where no heating module 100 is installed are not powered to prevent the user from getting an electric shock due to improper use. For example, when the heating module 100 is installed at the heating module installation position 201, the control module of the cookware body 200 changes the corresponding flag bit. The heating module installation positions 201 where the flag bit has not changed indicate that no corresponding heating module 100 is installed. At this time, the circuit leading to these heating module installation positions 201 is disconnected by means of a switch or the like.

[0044] In other embodiments, the heating module 100 and the cookware body 200 can use different power sources, so that the power can be turned on as needed. In addition, the control module of the cookware can also be set on the heating module 100, so that the parts of the cookware that need to use power are all in the heating module 100 to ensure electrical safety.

[0045] In other embodiments, the cookware body 200 may also introduce a rotating motor, etc. The power supply of the rotating motor may be shared with the power supply of the heating module 100 or used separately. The introduction of the rotating motor is mainly to achieve rotary heating. For example, a rotating motor is provided at the bottom of the cookware body 200 to drive the cookware containing food in the cookware body to rotate and achieve uniform heating.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 1 For example, Figure 1 The cookware body 200 includes two heating module installation positions 201 and one heating module 100 as an example. When in use, the heating module 100 can be detachably installed in at least one of the two heating module installation positions 201. For example, the heating module 100 can be installed at the heating module installation position 201 on the side of the cookware body 200 according to the needs of food baking, and can also be installed at the heating module installation position 201 on the top of the cookware body 200 according to the needs of food baking.

[0047] During use, to ensure the seal of the cookware or to minimize heat loss, the heating module 100 is detachably installed at the corresponding heating module installation position 201. The heating module installation position 201 not installed with the heating module 100 is sealed by the pot cover 500 and / or the pot body 400 to heat the food in the cookware body 200. If there are multiple heating module installation positions 201, multiple pot covers 500 can be configured to ensure normal use of the cookware.

[0048] Specifically, combined Figure 1 When equipped with a grill 300, the heating module 100 is placed at the side opening, that is, the heating module installation position 201 on the side, and the pot cover 500 covers the top opening. The pot cover 500, the heating module 100 and the pot body 200 form a cavity to realize the side wall grilling function. It can also be used for layered grilling, skewers, etc.

[0049] When the heating module 100 is placed at the top opening, that is, at the top heating module installation position 201, and equipped with the pot inner body 400, the pot inner body 400 and the heating module 100 form a cavity. At this time, there is no need to use the pot cover 500, and the upper grilling function is realized, and pancakes, pizzas, etc. can be baked.

[0050] The above-mentioned cookware is provided with at least one heating module installation position 201 on the cookware itself, so that the heating module 100 can be detachably installed at any heating module installation position 201 as needed, so that different heating positions can be selected for heating according to food needs, thereby improving the cooking effect, and no additional heating module 100 is required, saving costs.

[0051] In one embodiment, the heating module installation position 201 includes at least two of the top, side and bottom of the pot to achieve heating with different functions. As mentioned above, the heating module installation position 201 can include at least one. In order to realize different heating modules 100, the heating module installation position 201 can include at least two. When the pot is manufactured, at least two heating module installation positions 201 can be provided on the pot body 200 according to the use requirements of the pot, and at least one heating module installation position 201 can be provided on each side of the pot body 200 as needed. In addition, the heating module 100 can also be set with different power or other parameters as needed. However, in order to facilitate installation, the outer frames, that is, the size parameters of all heating modules 100 remain uniform, which can facilitate installation.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 This is an exploded view of a cookware with a heating module 100 on the side wall and a baking cage 300 in one embodiment; Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an assembled cookware with a heating module 100 on the side wall in one embodiment.

In other embodiments, a rotating motor can be installed at the bottom of the cookware body to rotate the baking cage 300 to achieve uniform heating. In other embodiments, the baking cage 300 can be divided into multiple layers in the vertical direction, each separated by a grill or oil pan, so that different foods or the same food can be placed in layers, avoiding uneven heating caused by too much food or heating different ingredients multiple times. This layered arrangement allows different ingredients to be placed in layers, allowing multiple foods to be heated at once, saving energy. By layering, large amounts of food can be divided into small amounts for heating to avoid uneven heating caused by excessive accumulation of food.

[0059] In other embodiments, the inner pot 400 can be used, that is, the heating module 100 is installed on the heating module installation position 201 located on the side wall of the cookware body 200, and the heating module installation position 201 located on the top of the cookware body 200 is covered with a pot cover 500. The inner pot 400 is placed in the cookware body 200, and food can be placed therein. The heating module 100 heats the side wall of the inner pot 400 to heat the food. In other embodiments, the inner pot 400 can have an open side wall, so that the opening faces the heating module 100 to heat the food.

[0060] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 This is an exploded view of a cookware with a heating module 100 at the top and a pot body 400 in one embodiment; Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an assembled cookware with the heating module 100 on top in one embodiment.
