TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of small household appliances, in particular to a cooking appliance. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the related art, the cooking appliance has the functions of air frying and steaming. The structure for realizing the air frying function includes a fan and a heating element. The fan blows air to the heating element, and the hot air formed by the heating element is blown into the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance. The structure for realizing the steaming function includes a water tank and a steam generator in communication with the water tank. The steam generated by the steam generator is sprayed into the cooking cavity of the cooking appliance.

[0003] However, in the process of realizing the steaming function, steam is easy to enter the heating element, which makes the heating element easy to be damaged. SUMMARY

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a cooking appliance to solve the problem that the heating element is easy to be damaged in the related art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a cooking appliance, which comprises a pot body, a pan body, a heating device arranged on the pot body, a hot air generating device arranged on the pot body, the hot air generating device having a fan and a hot air outlet, and a shielding member pivotally arranged at the hot air outlet and having a shielding position shielding the hot air outlet and an opening position avoiding the hot air outlet. When the hot air generating device is working, the hot air makes the shielding member switch from the shielding position to the opening position. When the hot air generating device stops working, the shielding member rotates to the shielding position under the action of gravity. A limiting part is arranged at the hot air outlet, and the limiting part can limit the movement of the shielding member towards the inside of the hot air generating device.

[0006] By applying the technical scheme of the present application, the cooking appliance has a baking mode and a steaming mode. When the user uses the baking mode, the hot air blown out by the hot air generating device can make the shielding member rotate, so that the shielding member switches to the opening position avoiding the hot air outlet. The hot air enters the pan body to heat the food in the pan body. When the user uses the steaming mode, the hot air generating device stops working, the hot air outlet does not blow out hot air, the shielding member rotates to the shielding position under the action of gravity, the heating device works, and steam is generated in the pan body. Since the limiting part is arranged at the hot air outlet, the limiting part can limit the movement of the shielding member towards the inside of the hot air generating device, so that the shielding member remains in the shielding position, the steam cannot enter the hot air outlet, and the steam also cannot enter the inside of the hot air generating device, thereby avoiding the damage caused by the steam entering the inside of the hot air generating device. Therefore, the technical scheme of the present application effectively solves the problem that the heating element is easy to be damaged in the related art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The description of the at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative, but not intended to limit the present application and its application or use in any way. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only intended to describe specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in the specification, there is a reference to the presence of a feature, step, operation, device, component, and / or combinations thereof.

[0032] Unless specifically stated otherwise, the relative arrangements of the components and steps illustrated in these embodiments and the numerical expressions and values set forth in the examples are not meant to limit the scope of the present application. At the same time, it should be understood that the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in proportion. The techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art can not be discussed in detail, but should be considered as part of the authorized description when appropriate. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments can have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 6As shown, the cooking utensil of the embodiment comprises a pot body 11, a pan body 12, a hot air generating device, a heating device 40, a shielding piece 50 and a limiting part. The pan body 12 is arranged on the pot body 11. The hot air generating device is arranged on the pot body 11. The hot air generating device has a fan 22 and a hot air outlet 21. The heating device 40 is arranged on the pot body 11 or the pan body 12. The shielding piece 50 is pivotally arranged at the hot air outlet 21 and has a shielding position shielding the hot air outlet 21 and an open position avoiding the hot air outlet 21. When the hot air generating device works, the shielding piece 50 is switched from the shielding position to the open position by the hot air. When the hot air generating device stops working, the shielding piece 50 rotates to the shielding position under the action of gravity. The limiting part is arranged at the hot air outlet and can limit the shielding piece 50 from moving towards the inside of the hot air generating device.

[0034] By applying the technical solution of the embodiment, the cooking utensil has a baking mode and a steaming mode. When the user uses the baking mode, the hot air blown by the hot air generating device can make the shielding piece 50 rotate, so that the shielding piece 50 is switched to the open position avoiding the hot air outlet 21. The hot air enters the pan body 12 to heat the food in the pan body 12. When the user uses the steaming mode, when the hot air generating device stops working, the hot air outlet 21 does not blow hot air, the shielding piece 50 rotates to the shielding position under the action of gravity, the heating device 40 works, steam is generated in the pan body 12, and because the limiting part is arranged at the hot air outlet 51, the limiting part can limit the shielding piece 50 from moving towards the inside of the hot air generating device, so that the shielding piece 50 remains in the shielding position, the steam cannot enter the hot air outlet 21, and further, the steam cannot enter the hot air generating device, avoiding damage caused by the steam entering the hot air generating device. Therefore, the technical solution of the embodiment effectively solves the problem that the heating piece is easily damaged in the related art.

[0035] The shielding piece can be a shielding sheet, a shielding plate or a louver. In the embodiment, the inlet of the fan 22 is in communication with the air inlet 114, and the outlet of the fan 22 is in communication with the hot air outlet 21. It should be noted that the hot air generating device comprises a heating element 32, and air generates hot air after passing through the heating element 32 and is blown out from the hot air outlet 21. The inside of the hot air generating device refers to the position where the heating element 32 is located.

[0036] In the embodiment, the hot air generating device and the heating device realize different cooking modes. Specifically, the heating device realizes bottom heating of the pan body, so as to generate steam to realize the steaming mode, and the hot air generating device is arranged on the side of the pot body to heat air and generate hot air to realize the baking mode.

[0037] Of course, in other embodiments not shown in the figures, the heating device is arranged on the pot body.

[0038] As Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, the limiting part includes a limiting piece 115, which is located upstream of the shielding piece 50 in the air outlet direction of the hot air generating device, and the limiting piece 115 is in limiting cooperation with the shielding piece 50. It should be noted that the limiting piece 115 is located upstream of the shielding piece 50 in the air outlet direction of the hot air generating device, which means that the hot air blown by the hot air generating device first passes through the limiting piece 115 and then passes through the shielding piece 50. Because the limiting piece 115 is arranged upstream of the air outlet direction of the hot air generating device, the limiting piece 115 can limit the shielding piece 50, prevent the shielding piece 50 from moving further towards the inside of the hot air generating device, and make the shielding piece 50 stably remain in the shielding position.

[0039] Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the shielding piece has a rotating shaft, and the limiting part includes a torsional spring sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the torsional spring is in limiting cooperation with the shielding piece. The torsional spring includes two torsional arms, one of which abuts against the side wall or bottom wall of the hot air outlet, and the other of which is vertically arranged and can limit the shielding piece.

[0040] Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the limiting part includes a damping piece arranged at the free end of the shielding piece, and the damping piece is in limiting cooperation with the hot air outlet. The damping piece can be a silica gel piece. The damping piece can be an integral structure or a separate structure with the shielding piece. The limiting cooperation between the damping piece and the hot air outlet means that the damping piece can abut against the side wall or bottom wall of the hot air outlet, thereby realizing the limiting of the hot air outlet to the shielding piece.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the hot air generating device further includes a wind guide cover 24 arranged on the pot body 11, and the hot air outlet 21 is arranged in the wind guide cover 24. The arrangement of the wind guide cover 24 facilitates the introduction of the hot air at the hot air outlet 21 to the pot opening of the pot body 12. The upper end of the shielding piece 50 is pivotally connected to the inner wall of the wind guide cover 24. The hot air outlet 21 directly communicates with the wind guide cover 24, so that the hot air generated by the heating device 30 can enter the pot body 12 through the wind guide cover 24. At the same time, the arrangement of the wind guide cover 24 also shortens the distance between the hot air outlet 21 and the pot body 12, reduces the heat loss generated along the way, and ensures that more heat is blown to the food material. The shielding piece 50 is arranged in the wind guide cover 24. In this way, when the shielding piece 50 is in the shielding position, the shielding piece 50 located in the wind guide cover 24 can separate the hot air outlet 21 and the wind guide cover 24 to form two independent spaces, so as to avoid the steam from entering the hot air generating device.

[0042] In the embodiment, the heating device 30 comprises a heating cover and a heating wire arranged in the heating cover, the heating cover is arranged in the hot air outlet 21. Of course, the heating wire can be replaced by a heating disc or a halogen tube. However, compared with heating by the heating disc or the halogen tube, when the heating wire is used for heating, the surface area of the heating wire is larger, the heat blown away by the fan is more, and the heating speed of the cooking utensil can be further improved.

[0043] In the embodiment, the fan 22 is a centrifugal fan, and of course, the fan can also be an axial fan.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the upper end of the shielding piece 50 is connected with the inner wall of the air guide cover 24 through a pivoting structure. In this way, the upper end of the shielding piece 50 is constrained by the pivoting structure and can rotate relative to the inner wall of the air guide cover 24, and the lower end of the shielding piece 50 is not constrained and is lowered under the action of gravity, facilitating the limiting cooperation of the shielding piece 50 with the limiting piece 115 to keep in the shielding position.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in the embodiment, the pivoting structure comprises a pivot 61 and a connecting sleeve 62 sleeved outside the pivot 61, the connecting sleeve 62 is arranged on the upper end of the shielding piece 50, and the pivot 61 is arranged on the inner wall of the air guide cover 24. The cooperation structure of the pivot 61 and the connecting sleeve 62 is simple and easy to realize.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments not shown in the figures, the pivot is arranged on the upper end of the shielding piece, and the connecting sleeve is arranged on the inner wall of the air guide cover.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the limiting part comprises a limiting piece 115, the limiting piece 115 is located upstream of the shielding piece 50 in the air outlet direction of the hot air generating device, and the limiting piece 115 is arranged on the bottom wall of the air guide cover 24. The lower end of the shielding piece 50 is in abutting cooperation with the limiting piece 115. When steam is generated in the pot body 12, the steam can push the shielding piece 50 to swing towards the hot air outlet 21, and the abutting cooperation of the lower end of the shielding piece 50 with the limiting piece 115 can limit the continuous swinging of the lower end of the limiting piece 115, avoiding the generation of a large gap between the shielding piece 50 and the inner wall of the air guide cover 24, so as to ensure that the shielding piece 50 can effectively shield the hot air outlet 21.

[0048] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the heating device 40 is arranged on the pot body 12. The pot body 11 further comprises a first coupler 13 arranged on the pot body 11. The heating device 40 comprises a heating element 41 and a second coupler 42 connected with the heating element 41. The heating element 41 can directly heat the pot body 12, facilitating the pot body 12 to cook food. At the same time, in order to enable the heating element 41 to be powered, the first coupler 13 can be inserted and matched with the second coupler 42. The heating element 41 of the embodiment can be a heating tube or a heating disc.

[0049] In the embodiment, the cooking appliance further comprises a cover body 90 arranged on the pot body 11.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the pot body 11 comprises a base 112 and a side stand 113 arranged on the base 112. The first air duct structure 20 and the heating device 30 are both located in the side stand 113, and the pot body 12 is placed on the base 112. In this way, the base 112 and the side stand 113 enable the pot body 11 as a whole to form an L-shaped structure. Thus, compared with the shell structure in the related art, the upper part of the base 112 and the space opposite to the side stand 113 are not connected with any structure, which greatly saves materials and reduces costs, and at the same time, makes the cooking appliance as a whole simple. In this way, during the process of taking and placing the pot body 12 from the base 112 with the cover body 90 opened, the outer side of the pot body 12 has a relatively large avoiding space, and the pot body 12 can be operated from the horizontal direction, the vertical direction or the inclined direction, which greatly shortens the time of taking and placing the pot body 12, improves the convenience, and obtains a better user experience.

[0051] It should be noted that the hot air generating device located in the side stand is not limited to the case that the hot air generating device is entirely arranged in the side stand, and also includes the case that the main body structure of the hot air generating device is located in the side stand and part of the structure extends out of the side stand. In the embodiment, the main body structure of the hot air generating device is located in the side stand, and part of the structure, i.e., part of the air guide cover 24, extends out of the side stand.

[0052] Of course, the pot body can also be a shell structure, and the pot body is arranged in the shell structure.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the process of air suction of the first air duct structure 20, a larger suction force can be generated, in order to avoid the air inlet 114 from sucking in kitchen items, the hot air generating device further comprises an air inlet 114 in communication with the hot air outlet 21, and the air inlet 114 is arranged on the side wall of the side stand 113 facing the pot body 12. In this way, the pot body 12 can isolate the air inlet 114 and the kitchen items, so that the air inlet 114 can smoothly suck in air.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , in order to facilitate the air inlet to smoothly suck in air between the pot body 11 and the side wall of the pot body 12, a positioning structure is arranged between the pot body 11 and the pot body 12 to form a flow gap between the side wall of the side stand 113 and the side wall of the pot body 12. Specifically, the pot body 12 is placed on the base 112, and the positioning structure comprises a positioning convex portion 123 and a positioning concave portion 116 matched with the positioning convex portion 123. The positioning concave portion 116 is arranged on the base 112, and the positioning convex portion 123 is arranged on the pot body 12. The cooperation of the positioning convex portion 123 and the positioning concave portion 116 can limit the position of the pot body 12 placed on the base 112, so that when the pot body 12 is placed on the base 112 and the first coupler 13 can be inserted and matched with the second coupler 42, a large enough flow gap is formed between the side wall of the side stand 113 and the side wall of the pot body 12.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the hot air generating device comprises: a first air duct structure 20 and a heating device 30. The first air duct structure 20 is arranged in the pot body 11, and the fan 22 is arranged in the first air duct structure 20. The heating device 30 comprises a shell 31 and a heating element 32 arranged in the shell 31. The shell 31 is in communication with the first air duct structure 20, and the hot air generating device further comprises a wind guide cover 24. The wind guide cover 24 is arranged on the shell 31. When the cooking utensil adopts the baking mode, air flows through the first air duct structure 20, the shell and the wind guide cover under the action of the fan 22, and the air is heated by the heating element 32 when flowing through the shell 31, forming hot air and finally blowing into the pot body 12 through the hot air outlet, heating the food and realizing the baking function.

[0056] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in order to facilitate the hot air at the hot air outlet 21 to be introduced into the pot body 12, the cooking utensil further comprises a cover body 90 and a second air duct structure 92 arranged in the cover body 90. The cover body 90 is arranged on the pot body 11, and the second air duct structure 92 is in communication with the hot air outlet 21. In this way, the hot air passing through the hot air outlet 21 can smoothly enter into the pot body 12 along the air guide path formed by the second air duct structure 92. Specifically, the cover body 90 comprises a cover body main body 91 and an air guide shell arranged on the inner wall of the cover body main body. The air guide shell forms the second air duct structure 92. The structure of the air guide shell is simple and easy to process and form.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , in the process of roasting food materials in the cooking utensil, the fan 22 sucks the air outside the cooking utensil from the flow gap between the pot body 11 and the side wall of the pot body 12 through the air inlet 114 into the first air duct structure 20. The air reaches the heating device 30 along the first air duct structure 20. The air is heated to form hot air while passing through the heating device 30. The hot air enters the pot body 12 along the second air duct structure 92, heats the food materials in the pot body 12, and then is discharged to the outside of the cooking utensil through the gap between the cover body 90 and the pot body 11. The above-mentioned heating process is repeated to realize external circulation heating. The external air continuously enters the cooking utensil to heat the food materials, so that the food materials in the pot body are not easy to be flavored.

[0058] In the related art, the heating device is arranged on the base of the cooking utensil, and the pot body is placed above the heating device for heating. After the cooking utensil completes cooking, the pot body is taken out. The pot body is in a high-temperature and high-heat state, which is easy to scald the user.

[0059] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in the present embodiment, the pot body 12 comprises an outer shell 121 and an inner pot 122 arranged in the outer shell 121, and the heating device 40 is arranged on the inner pot 122. In the process of cooking food materials in the cooking utensil, the heating device 40 is attached to the inner pot 122, and there is no gap between the heating device 40 and the inner pot 122, so that the heating device 40 can directly heat the inner pot 122. The heat conduction effect is good, and the inner pot 122 has a faster heating speed. After the cooking utensil completes cooking, the pot body 12 is taken out. Since the outer side of the inner pot 122 is protected by the outer shell 121, the outer shell 121 can block the heat emitted outward by the inner pot 122, thereby avoiding direct contact with the user and further avoiding scalding the user. Specifically, the heating element 41 is welded to the bottom of the inner pot 122. The second coupler 42 is arranged on the outer shell 121. In this way, the heating element 41 can be firmly connected to the bottom of the inner pot 122.
