Detailed implementation manners

[0042] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0046] Combined Figures 1 - 18 As shown, the cooking appliance provided in this embodiment includes:

[0047] A pot body 11, including a lid portion 111, and the lid portion 111 is provided at the upper end of the pot body 11;

[0048] A feeding assembly, detachably connected to the pot body 11, the feeding assembly includes a feeding bracket 50, the feeding bracket 50 has a storage box 53, the storage box 53 includes at least two storage compartments 531, and the upper and lower ends of the storage compartment 531 are open; a turntable 54, having a discharge port 541; a driving mechanism, selectively connected to the turntable 54, and the driving mechanism drives the turntable 54 to rotate so that the discharge port 541 is selectively communicated with one of the storage compartments 531.

[0049] It should be noted that the driving mechanism is selectively connected to the turntable 54 means that when the feeding assembly needs to add items to the inner pot 13, the feeding assembly is assembled on the pot body 11, the turntable 54 is assembled and connected to the driving mechanism, and then the driving mechanism drives the turntable 54 to rotate. When it is not necessary to use the feeding assembly to add items to the inner pot 13, the feeding assembly is detached from the pot body 11, the turntable 54 and the driving mechanism do not need to be assembled together, and the driving mechanism and the turntable 54 are separated from each other, reducing the volume of the whole machine and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the whole machine; the discharge port 541 is selectively communicated with one of the storage compartments 531 means that during the rotation of the discharge port 541 with the turntable 54, when the discharge port 541 rotates below one of the at least two storage compartments 531, the discharge port 541 is communicated with this storage compartment 531, and when the discharge port 541 is not below the storage compartment 531, the discharge port 541 is not communicated with the storage compartment 531.

[0050] It should be noted that the storage box 53 is a structure for holding items in the feeding assembly. Different items are placed in multiple storage compartments 531 respectively. The upper and lower ends of the storage compartment 531 are open. Herein, the "upper" and "lower" refer to Figure 6 the "upper" and "lower" directions indicated by the arrows in Figure 6 . During use, the storage box 53 remains stationary, and the turntable 54 rotates driven by the driving mechanism. The discharge port 541 on the turntable 54 rotates with the rotation of the turntable 54. When the discharge port 541 rotates to correspond to a storage compartment 531, the item in this storage compartment 531 falls into the inner pot 13 below the turntable 54 under the action of gravity through the discharge port 541. The turntable 54 continues to rotate until the discharge port 541 communicates with an adjacent storage compartment 531, and the item in this storage compartment 531 is introduced into the inner pot 13 through the discharge port 541. And so on, until all the required items are added to the inner pot. Moreover, the size of the discharge port 541 is not greater than the size of the lower opening of the storage compartment 531. Therefore, the discharge port 541 can only communicate with one storage compartment 531. When the storage compartment 531 does not communicate with the discharge port 541, the lower opening of the storage compartment 531 is sealed by the part of the turntable 54 where the discharge port 541 is not provided. The storage compartment 531 and the turntable form a cavity with a closed lower end. At this time, the item in the storage compartment 531 will not fall.

[0051] Optionally, the cooking pot body includes a cover part 111 and a housing part 112. The housing part 112 is fixedly connected to the cover part 111. An inner pot 13 is installed inside the cooking pot body 11.

[0052] Optionally, the cooking appliance further includes: a storage box sealing ring 561. The storage box sealing ring 561 is arranged between the storage box 53 and the turntable 54 and is suitable for sealingly connecting the storage box 53 and the turntable 54, thereby effectively preventing the items in different storage compartments 531 from being mixed with each other.

[0053] The cooking appliance provided in this embodiment realizes the detachable connection between the feeding assembly and the pot body 11 by detachably connecting the feeding assembly to the cover body 111, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the feeding assembly, and thus facilitates the cleaning of the removed feeding assembly. In addition, when it is necessary to use the feeding assembly for feeding, the feeding assembly is connected to the pot body 11, and when it is not necessary to use the feeding assembly for feeding, the feeding assembly is removed from the pot body 11, avoiding the situation that the feeding assembly still occupies a large space when feeding is not required, thereby effectively reducing the volume of the cooking appliance. Moreover, by providing that the storage box 53 on the feeding bracket 50 includes at least two storage compartments 531, and the turntable 54 rotates relative to the storage box 53 so that the discharge port 541 is selectively communicated with one of the storage compartments 531, the articles in this storage compartment 531 are exported through the discharge port 541. During the whole process, the storage box 53 remains stationary, and only by rotating the turntable 54 can it be achieved. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient, and it avoids the spilling of articles caused by the movement of the storage box 53, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0054] Specifically, the feeding bracket 50 further includes a supporting portion 51, the supporting portion 51 is arranged around the circumferential edge of the storage box 53, the inner wall of the supporting portion 51 is configured to have the same shape as the outer surface of the cover body 111, and the supporting portion 51 is selectively abutted against the cover body 111 so that the feeding bracket 50 is buckled on the cover body 111.

[0055] Optionally, the supporting portion 51 is selectively buckled on the cover body 111.

[0056] Optionally, the feeding bracket 50 further includes a supporting ring 52, the supporting portion 51, the supporting ring 52 and the storage box 53 are connected in sequence from bottom to top. Further optionally, the cross-sectional areas of the supporting portion 51, the supporting ring 52 and the storage box 53 decrease in sequence. The supporting ring 52 is adapted to match the shape of the turntable 54, and the inside of the supporting ring 52 is adapted to install the turntable 54. Herein, the inside of the supporting ring 52 refers to the side close to the center of the supporting ring 52 along the radial direction of the supporting ring 52.

[0057] Optionally, the feeding bracket 50 is integrally formed.

[0058] It should be noted that the above "up and down" refers to Figure 4The "up" and "down" directions indicated by the arrow; the fact that the support ring 52 is adapted to match the shape of the turntable 54 means that the spatial shape formed by the support ring 52 is consistent with the shape of the turntable 54, the turntable 54 can be installed in the space formed by the support ring 52, the support ring 52 surrounds the circumference of the turntable 54, and when the turntable 54 rotates about the axis, the support ring 52 can limit the movement of the turntable 54 in its radial direction, where the axis refers to the axis of the turntable 54, and the turntable 54 is coaxially arranged with the feeding support 50; the inside of the support ring 52 refers to the side closer to the center of the support ring 52 along the radial direction of the support ring 52.

[0059] It should be noted that the turntable 54 of the feeding assembly is located between the cover body part 111 and the feeding support 50. The feeding support 50 is used to support the turntable 54. The turntable 54 can rotate about its own axis. The rotation of the turntable 54 relative to the feeding support 50 means that the turntable 54 rotates about the axis of the feeding support 50. When it is necessary to add the items in the storage box 53 into the inner pot, the turntable 54 is rotated so that the discharge port 541 on the turntable 54 communicates with one of the storage grids 531 of the storage box 53, thereby adding the items in the storage grid 531 into the inner pot 13.

[0060] In the cooking appliance provided in this embodiment, by setting the inner wall of the support part of the feeding support 50 to have the same shape as the outer surface of the cover body part 111 of the pot body 11, the support part 51 selectively abuts against the cover body part 111 so that the feeding support 50 is buckled on the cover body part 111. The feeding assembly and the pot body 11 are positioned during assembly by matching the outer shapes, with a simple structure and convenient assembly.

[0061] Specifically, a first magnetic member is provided on the pot body 11, a second magnetic member is provided on the feeding support 50, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are correspondingly arranged, and the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are adapted to attract each other.

[0062] Optionally, a first magnetic member installation groove 1111 is provided on the cover body part 111, the first magnetic member installation groove 1111 is adapted to install the first magnetic member, a second magnetic member installation groove 5711 is provided on the feeding support 50, and the second magnetic member installation groove 5711 is adapted to install the second magnetic member.

[0063] The cooking appliance provided in this embodiment realizes the fixed connection between the feeding support 50 and the pot body 11 through the mutual attraction between the first magnetic member on the pot body 11 and the second magnetic member on the feeding support 50. The fixed connection between the feeding assembly and the pot body 11 is achieved through the attraction force between the magnetic members, preventing the feeding support 50 from detaching from the pot body under the influence of the rotation of the turntable 54 during the rotation of the turntable 54 driven by the driving mechanism, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation process.

[0064] Specifically, a third magnetic member is provided on the turntable 54, and a Hall sensor 582 is provided on the pot body 11. The Hall sensor 582 is adapted to sense the third magnetic member on the turntable 54.

[0065] Optionally, a sensor mounting groove 1112 is provided on the cover part 111. The sensor mounting groove 1112 is adapted to mount the Hall sensor 582.

[0066] It should be noted that when the feeding assembly is mounted on the pot body 11, the gear ring 551 is located above the sensor mounting groove 1112. The Hall sensor 582 is adapted to sense the third magnetic member on the gear ring 551 to determine whether the feeding assembly is mounted in place and to determine the rotational position of the turntable 54.

[0067] The cooking appliance provided in this embodiment realizes the determination of whether the turntable 54 is mounted in place and the determination of the rotational position of the turntable 54 by the induction between the Hall sensor 582 on the pot body 11 and the third magnetic member on the turntable 54, thereby ensuring the reliability of the assembly.

[0068] Specifically, the storage bin 531 is in the shape of a funnel with an upper opening larger than the lower opening.

[0069] Specifically, the storage bin 531 is in the shape of a polygonal funnel with an upper opening larger than the lower opening. The number of sides of the storage bin 531 is n, and the included angle between the inner wall of the storage bin 531 and the horizontal plane is δ. When the items placed in the storage bin 531 slide along the inner wall of the storage bin 531 in a critical state, the included angle between the inner wall of the storage bin 531 and the horizontal plane is β. Then δ≥arctg(tgβ / cos(180° / n)), where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3.

[0070] It should be noted that the storage compartment 531 is in the shape of a funnel with an upper opening larger than the lower opening. When the storage box 53 is placed horizontally, the inner wall of the storage compartment 531 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane. When food is placed on the inclined plane, the smaller the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal plane, the less likely the food on the inclined plane is to slide down. Therefore, there is a critical state where the food on the inclined plane slides down along the inclined plane. At this time, the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal plane is called the angle of repose, that is, the angle β in this embodiment. By setting δ≥arctg(tgβ / cos(180° / n)), it is ensured that the food in the storage compartment 531 can slide down smoothly; where, the "upper end" and "lower end" refer to Figure 6 the end faces in the directions of "up" and "down" indicated by the arrows in

[0071] In the cooking appliance provided in this embodiment, by setting the storage compartment 531 to be in the shape of a funnel with an upper opening larger than the lower opening, the side wall of the storage compartment 531 is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, thereby providing a certain buffer for the falling process of the items in the storage compartment 531 and facilitating the smooth falling of the items.

[0072] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes: a driving unit 553 and a transmission component. The driving unit 553 is connected to the transmission component. A first engaging portion is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 54, and the transmission component has a second engaging portion. The second engaging portion selectively engages with the first engaging portion. The driving unit 553 drives the transmission component to move, so as to drive the turntable 54 to move.

[0073] Specifically, the transmission component is a gear 552 or a rack, and both the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion are engaging teeth.

[0074] Optionally, the gear 552 is rotatably provided on the cover portion 111.

[0075] It should be noted that the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 54 refers to the circumferential edge along the radial direction of the turntable 54 away from the center of the turntable 54, and the engaging teeth on the outer peripheral surface are evenly distributed around the outer peripheral surface.

[0076] As a variation, the transmission component can also be a toothed transmission belt, and the teeth on the transmission belt engage with the teeth of the turntable 54, and the transmission belt drives the turntable 54 to rotate.

[0077] Optionally, the driving unit 553 is a motor. Further optionally, the driving unit 553 is a stepping motor.

[0078] The feeding component provided in this embodiment drives the rotation of the turntable 54 by setting a driving mechanism, so that the discharge port 541 is selectively communicated with one of the storage compartments 531, which improves the automation of the feeding component. Moreover, by setting the driving unit 553 of the driving mechanism to be connected with a transmission component, the second engaging portion on the transmission component engages with the first engaging portion on the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 54, realizing the mating connection between the transmission component and the turntable 54, and thus realizing the power transmission between the transmission component and the turntable 54. When the driving unit drives the transmission component to move, the transmission component drives the turntable 54 to move, with a simple structure, convenient operation and small occupied space.

[0079] Optionally, the driving unit 553 is arranged below the cover portion 111, where the "below" refers to Figure 1 the direction of "down" indicated by the arrow in

[0080] Specifically, the turntable 54 includes a disk body 540 and a gear ring 551. The discharge port 541 is arranged on the disk body 540. The gear ring 551 is arranged around the circumferential edge of the disk body 540 and fixedly connected to the disk body 540. The meshing teeth are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the gear ring 551.

[0081] It should be noted that the outer peripheral surface of the gear ring 551 refers to the circumferential edge of the gear ring 551 that is far from the disk body 540 along the radial direction of the turntable 54.

[0082] Optionally, the inner side wall of the gear ring 551 is stepped, and the disk body 540 is supported on the stepped surface of the inner side wall of the gear ring 551.

[0083] It should be noted that the inner side wall of the gear ring 551 refers to the side wall on the side of the gear ring 551 close to its center.

[0084] Optionally, the feeding component further includes: a turntable sealing ring 562. The turntable sealing ring 562 is arranged between the disk body 540 and the gear ring 551, and the turntable sealing ring 562 is suitable for sealingly connecting the disk body 540 and the gear ring 551.

The connecting piece 59 is arranged in the mounting holes on the disk body 540 and the gear ring 551, and the connecting piece is suitable for fixedly connecting the disk body 540 and the gear ring 551.

[0086] Optionally, the number of mounting holes on the disk body 540 and the ring gear 551 is multiple, and the multiple mounting holes are evenly distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the turntable 54. The number of the connecting members 59 is equal to the number of the mounting holes on the disk body 540 or the ring gear 551.

[0087] Optionally, the teeth of the gear 552 and the ring gear 551 are straight teeth, helical teeth or tapered teeth.

[0088] Optionally, the tooth side surface of the teeth of the gear 552 has a guiding surface 5521, and the guiding surface 5521 provides guidance for the meshing of the ring gear 551 and the gear 552.

[0089] Optionally, the guiding surface 5521 includes an inclined surface and / or an arc surface.

[0090] It should be noted that by providing the guiding surface 5521 on the tooth side surface of the teeth of the gear 552, when the turntable 54 is installed to cooperate with the gear 552, the guiding surface 5521 provides guidance for the meshing of the ring gear 551 of the turntable 54 and the gear 552, which is convenient for the installation of the turntable 54.

[0091] Optionally, the cooking appliance further includes: at least two supporting units 57, and the supporting units 57 are arranged on the feeding bracket 50 and abut against the bottom surface of the turntable 54 to support the turntable 54.

[0093] Optionally, each of the supporting units 57 includes:

[0094] A fixing groove 571, which is buckled on the feeding bracket 50;

[0095] An abutting member 572, which is slidably arranged in the fixing groove 571. The abutting member 572 has a supporting state and an avoiding state. When the abutting member 572 is in the supporting state, the abutting member 572 abuts against the bottom surface of the turntable 54. When the abutting member 572 is in the avoiding state, the abutting member 572 is separated from the bottom surface of the turntable 54.

[0096] It should be noted that the supporting state refers to the state where the abutting member 572 abuts against the bottom surface of the turntable 54. At this time, the turntable 54 is connected to the feeding support 50 under the support of the abutting member 572 to achieve the positioning of the turntable 54; the avoiding state refers to the state where the abutting member 572 is separated from the bottom surface of the turntable 54 and the supporting unit 57 no longer supports the turntable 54. At this time, the turntable 54 can be separated from the feeding support 50.

[0097] It should be noted that the supporting unit 57 is fixedly connected to the feeding support 50. The supporting unit 57 supports the turntable 54, and the abutting member 572 of the supporting unit 57 abuts against the bottom surface of the turntable 54. At the same time, the turntable 54 is arranged within the supporting ring 52, and the supporting ring 52 is adapted to limit the movement of the turntable 54 in its radial direction, so as to ensure that the turntable 54 can rotate around the axis of the feeding support 50. When the turntable 54 rotates, the bottom surface of the turntable 54 slides relative to the abutting member 572. Among them, the bottom surface refers to the end surface of the turntable 54 that is far from the upper end surface of the feeding support 50, and the upper end surface of the feeding support 50 refers to the end surface along Figure 6 the "up" direction indicated by the arrow in the figure.

[0098] Optionally, the supporting unit 57 further includes an elastic member 573. One end of the elastic member 573 is fixedly connected to the feeding support 50 and the other end is connected to the end of the abutting member 572 away from the turntable 54. When the elastic member 573 is in a compressed state, the abutting member 572 is in the avoiding state, and when the elastic member is in a free state, the abutting member 572 is in the supporting state.

[0099] Optionally, the elastic member 573 is a spring, an elastic sleeve, an elastic column, etc.

[0100] It should be noted that the spring is adapted to expand and contract along its axis direction, so as to switch between the compressed state and the free state. When the spring is compressed to a certain extent and the abutting member 572 moves to be separated from the bottom surface of the turntable 54, the turntable 54 can be disassembled, which is convenient for the installation and disassembly between the turntable 54 and the feeding support 50.

[0101] As a variation, a linear drive mechanism is used to replace the elastic member 573. The linear drive mechanism is a linear motor, a cylinder, etc., and the linear drive mechanism is adapted to drive the abutting member 572 to move.

[0102] The feeding component provided in this embodiment realizes the support of the turntable 54 by arranging at least two support units 57 on the feeding bracket 50 and making them abut against the bottom surface of the turntable 54, thereby realizing the connection between the turntable 54 and the feeding bracket 50, enhancing the reliability of the movement of the turntable 54. Moreover, the abutting member of each support unit 57 is slidably arranged in the fixed groove 571, realizing the direct switching between the supporting state where the abutting member 572 abuts against the bottom surface of the turntable 54 and the avoiding state where it separates from the bottom surface of the turntable 54. Thus, when the abutting member 572 moves to separate from the bottom surface of the turntable 54, the turntable 54 can be removed, facilitating the installation and disassembly between the turntable and the feeding bracket, and facilitating the cleaning of the turntable.

[0103] Optionally, the feeding bracket 50 further includes: a support unit installation groove 511, which is arranged on the support part 51 and is suitable for installing the abutting member 572 and the elastic member 573 and guiding the abutting member 572.
