[0034] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. It is particularly noted that the following examples are only used to illustrate the present application, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Similarly, the following examples are only some embodiments of the present application rather than all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] Reference to "embodiments" in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] The cooking utensil described in the cooking utensil embodiment of the present application is a multifunctional cooking utensil having a first cooking mode and a second cooking mode. Specifically, the first cooking mode may be a pressure cooking mode, and the second cooking mode may be an air frying cooking mode.

[0037] In the following description, the present application is described with the first cooking mode being the pressure cooking mode and the second cooking mode being the air frying cooking mode. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, for example, the first cooking mode may also be the normal pressure stewing mode, and those skilled in the art may select according to actual needs.

[0038] In some embodiments, the cooking appliance may further include a third cooking mode, a fourth cooking mode, or even more cooking modes, which is not limited in the present application and those skilled in the art may design the cooking appliance according to actual needs.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The cooking utensil 100 provided in the cooking utensil embodiment of the present application comprises a pot body assembly 10, a pot cover assembly 20, a functional assembly 30 and a control assembly (not marked in the figure).

[0040] The pot body assembly 10 is used to contain food to be cooked. The pot cover assembly 20 can cover the pot body assembly 10, wherein the pot body assembly 10 and the pot cover assembly 20 are used together to realize a first cooking mode. The functional assembly 30 is detachably mounted on the pot cover assembly 20, wherein the pot body assembly 10, the pot cover assembly 20 and the functional assembly 30 are used together to realize a second cooking mode. The control assembly is used to detect the covering state of the pot cover assembly 20 on the pot body assembly 10 and the installation state of the functional assembly 30 on the pot cover assembly 20, and control whether the cooking appliance 100 enters the first cooking mode and / or the second cooking mode according to the detection result.

[0041] The entry into a certain cooking mode described in this application may refer to turning on the function, rather than specifically referring to the start of operation according to the cooking mode. In other words, entering the pressure cooking mode may refer to turning on the pressure cooking function, rather than specifically referring to the start of operation according to the pressure cooking mode. Similarly, entering the air frying cooking mode may refer to turning on the air frying cooking function, rather than specifically referring to the start of operation according to the air frying cooking mode.

[0042] In some embodiments, when a certain cooking mode is entered, the control component can further control the cooking appliance 100 to start working according to the cooking mode only when the set conditions are met. In some embodiments, when a certain cooking mode is entered, the control component can also automatically control the cooking appliance 100 to start working according to the cooking mode.

[0043] By detecting the covering state of the pot cover assembly 20 on the pot body assembly 10 and the installation state of the functional assembly 30 on the pot cover assembly 20, and controlling whether the cooking appliance 100 enters the first cooking mode and / or the second cooking mode according to the detection result, it is helpful to distinguish different cooking modes and avoid adverse consequences caused by abnormal operation of the user. For example, if the functional assembly 30 for realizing the air-frying cooking mode is not installed, the cooking appliance 100 cannot start working in the air-frying cooking mode.

[0044] The pot body assembly 10 may include a pot body 11 and a heating assembly 12. A holding space is formed inside the pot body 11 for holding food to be cooked, and the heating assembly 12 is used to heat the pot body 11 to heat the food to be cooked. The pot cover assembly 20 is provided on the pot body assembly 10 to seal the pot body assembly 10. The pot cover assembly 20 may include a pot cover body 25 and a switch assembly, and an exhaust passage (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the pot cover body 25, and the switch assembly is used to open or close the exhaust passage. The pot cover assembly 20 cooperates with the pot body assembly 10 to realize a pressure cooking mode.

[0045] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the cooking utensil shown. In some embodiments, the functional component 30 can be detachably arranged on a side of the pot cover body 25 away from the pot body assembly 10. The cooking utensil 100 can also include a fan assembly 40, which is arranged on a side of the pot cover body 25 close to the pot body assembly 10. The fan assembly 40 can work under the drive of the functional component 30 to circulate the air inside the pot body assembly 10. Therefore, the pot body assembly 10, the pot cover assembly 20, the fan assembly 40 and the functional component 30 can cooperate to realize the air frying cooking mode.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 40 may be detachable, and in other embodiments, the fan assembly 40 may be non-detachable. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art may make a selection based on actual needs.

[0047] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the partial structure of the cooking appliance shown. Specifically, the fan assembly 40 includes a fan blade 41 and a first magnetic member 42. The functional assembly 30 includes a motor 33 and a second magnetic member 34, and the second magnetic member 34 is arranged corresponding to the first magnetic member 42. The motor 33 drives the fan blade 41 to rotate through the second magnetic member 34 and the first magnetic member 42 to realize air circulation in the pot assembly 10, thereby realizing the air frying cooking mode.

[0048] The functional component 30 also includes an upper cover 31 and a lower cover 32. The upper cover 31 and the lower cover 32 are arranged to form a cavity, and the motor 33 and the second magnetic member 34 are arranged in the cavity. The second magnetic member 34 is arranged on the side of the motor 33 close to the pot cover assembly 20. A magnetic isolation sheet 35 is also arranged between the second magnetic member 34 and the motor 33. The first magnetic member 42 is arranged on the side of the fan blade 41 close to the pot cover assembly 20, and is arranged corresponding to the second magnetic member 34. The motor 33 drives the fan blade 41 to rotate through the second magnetic member 34 and the first magnetic member 42 to realize air circulation in the pot body assembly 10, thereby realizing the air frying cooking mode.

[0049] In some embodiments, the functional component 30 may also be other structures, which are not limited in the present application, and those skilled in the art may select according to actual needs. For example, the functional component 30 may also be the above-mentioned fan component 40.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the cooking device 100 can only realize the air frying cooking mode, and cannot realize the pressure cooking mode. When the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the functional assembly 30 can drive the switch assembly on the pot cover assembly 20 to open the exhaust channel, so that the accommodation space inside the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment, which is conducive to avoiding the pressure inside the pot body 11 in the air frying cooking mode and avoiding safety accidents.

[0051] The specific reason is that when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the cooking device 100 can start working in the air frying cooking mode. At this time, if the switch assembly closes the exhaust passage, when there is moisture inside the pot body 11, it is easy to cause pressure inside the pot body 11. In addition, the cooking temperature is high in the air frying cooking mode, which is easy to cause safety accidents.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the switch assembly includes an exhaust valve 21. When the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the functional assembly 30 can drive the exhaust valve 21 to open the exhaust channel, so that the accommodating space inside the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment.

[0053] Specifically, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structure of the cooking appliance shown in FIG. 1 shows a partial structure of the cooking appliance, in which the functional component 30 is not installed on the pot cover body 25. The switch assembly may further include a transmission member 23, which may be arranged side by side with the exhaust valve 21, and is used to push the exhaust valve 21 to bias so as to open the exhaust passage. In the pressure cooking mode, the exhaust valve 21 is closed during the cooking process. After the cooking is finished, the user can operate the transmission member 23 to bias the exhaust valve 21 to reduce the pressure in the pot body 11, thereby avoiding direct operation of the exhaust valve 21, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of the user being scalded by high-temperature steam.

[0054] Next, the specific structure of the transmission member 23 is described. Figure 4 As shown, the transmission member 23 may include a main body 231, a first push rod 232 and a second push rod 233. The first push rod 232 and the second push rod 233 are arranged on the main body 231, and the main body 231 is movably arranged on the pot cover body 25. In the pressure cooking mode, after cooking is finished, the user can push the first push rod 232, and the second push rod 233 is driven by the main body 231 to push the exhaust valve 21 to be biased, so that the exhaust channel is opened, and the inside of the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment, so as to reduce the steam pressure inside the pot body 11.

[0055] In some embodiments, the main body 231 is rotatably disposed on the pot cover body 25. In the pressure cooking mode, after cooking is finished, the user can push the first push rod 232 to rotate the main body 231, and the rotation of the main body 231 drives the second push rod 233 to rotate, so that the second push rod 233 pushes the exhaust valve 21 to bias, so that the exhaust channel is opened, and the inside of the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment, so as to reduce the steam pressure inside the pot body 11.

[0056] For example, the pot cover body 25 may be provided with a fixing column 24, the main body 231 may be provided with an opening 2311, and the fixing column 24 may be inserted through the opening 2311 on the main body 231, so that the main body 231 can rotate around the fixing column 24. The first push rod 232 and the second push rod 233 may be integrally formed with the main body 231. In some embodiments, the transmission member 23 may also be other structures, for example, the main body 231 may be provided with a fixing column 24, and the pot cover body 25 may be provided with an opening 2311, which is not limited in the present application, and those skilled in the art may make a selection according to actual needs.

[0057] In some embodiments, the main body 231 can also be slidably disposed on the pot cover body 25. In the pressure cooking mode, after cooking is finished, the user can push the first push rod 232 to slide the main body 231, and the main body 231 then drives the second push rod 233 to push the exhaust valve 21 to bias, so that the exhaust channel is opened, and the inside of the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment, so as to reduce the steam pressure inside the pot body 11.

[0058] For example, the pot cover body 25 may be provided with a slide groove (not shown in the drawings), and the main body 231 may be provided with a corresponding slide rail (not shown in the drawings), and the slide groove cooperates with the slide rail so that the main body 231 is slidably provided on the pot cover body 25. Of course, it is also possible that the pot cover body 25 is provided with a slide rail (not shown in the drawings), and the main body 231 is provided with a corresponding slide groove (not shown in the drawings), and the present application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can make a choice according to actual needs.

[0059] When the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the first push rod 232 can be pushed by the functional component 30, and the second push rod 233 is driven by the main body 231 to push the exhaust valve 21 to offset, so that the exhaust channel is opened and the inside of the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The functional component 30 is provided with a guide surface (not marked in the figure) on one side close to the pot body component 10. When the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the guide surface pushes the first push rod 232 (the force direction of the first push rod 232 is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown by the middle arrow, the first push rod 232 drives the second push rod 233 through the main body 231 to push the exhaust valve 21 to be biased, so that the exhaust channel is opened, and the accommodating space inside the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment.

[0061] Specifically, a groove 36 is provided on a side surface of the functional component 30 close to the pot body component 10, and the groove 36 includes a first side wall 361 and a second side wall 362 arranged opposite to each other. The portion of the first side wall 361 close to the bottom wall of the groove 36 and the second side wall 362 may be parallel to each other, and a portion (3612) of the first side wall 361 away from the bottom wall of the groove 36 is inclined relative to another portion (3611) close to the bottom wall of the groove 36 in a direction away from the second side wall 362 to form the above-mentioned guide surface. When the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the first push rod 232 slides along the guide surface and is clamped at the bottom of the groove 36, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 yes Figure 1Another structural schematic diagram of the cooking appliance shown.

[0062] The two objects described in the present application are parallel to each other, and a certain error range may be allowed, such as -5° to 5°, that is, the angle between the two objects is within the range of -5° to 5°, and the two objects can be considered to be parallel to each other. For example, the first side wall 361 and the second side wall 362 are parallel to each other, and a corresponding error range may be allowed, and the error range may be set according to actual conditions, such as -3° to 3°, -5° to 5°, or -8° to 8°.

[0063] In some embodiments, the switch assembly may not include the transmission member 23. When the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the functional assembly 30 can directly apply a downward force to the exhaust valve 21, directly pushing the exhaust valve 21 to move toward the direction close to the pot body assembly 10, so that the exhaust valve 21 is opened.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the switch assembly may further include a float valve 22 disposed on the pot cover body 25. When the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the functional assembly 30 may drive at least one of the exhaust valve 21 and the float valve 22 to open the exhaust passage, so that the accommodation space inside the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment.

[0065] For example, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the functional component 30 can drive the float valve 22 to open the exhaust passage. How the functional component 30 drives the float valve 22 to be opened can be the same or similar to the way in which the functional component 30 drives the exhaust valve 21 to be opened, which is within the scope that can be easily understood by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. For example, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the functional component 30 can directly apply a downward force to the float valve 22, directly pushing the float valve 22 to move in a direction away from the functional component 30, so that the float valve 22 is opened.

[0066] For another example, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the functional component 30 can drive the exhaust valve 21 and the float valve 22 to simultaneously open the exhaust passage, so that the accommodation space inside the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs.

[0067] Please also read Figures 7 to 10 , Figure 7 yes Figure 4 Another structural schematic diagram of a partial structure of the cooking utensil shown in FIG. Figure 8 yes Figure 4 Another structural schematic diagram of a partial structure of the cooking utensil shown in FIG. Fig. 9 yes Figure 1 Another structural schematic diagram of the cooking utensil shown in FIG. Fig.10 yes Figure 1 Another structural schematic diagram of the cooking appliance shown.

[0068] Further, the control component may include a to-be-detected element 51, a first detector 52, a second detector (not shown in the drawings), and a controller (not shown in the drawings). The to-be-detected element 51 is disposed on the pot cover assembly 20. The first detector 52 is disposed on the pot body assembly 10, and is used to cooperate with the to-be-detected element 51 to detect the covering state of the pot cover assembly 20 on the pot body assembly 10. The second detector is disposed on the functional component 30, and is used to cooperate with the to-be-detected element 51 to detect the installation state of the functional component 30 on the pot cover assembly 20. The controller is connected to the first detector 52 and the second detector, and controls whether the cooking appliance 100 enters the pressure cooking mode and / or the air frying cooking mode according to the detection results of the first detector 52 and the second detector.

[0069] Specifically, the first detector 52 may include a first magnetic sensitive switch, the second detector may include a second magnetic sensitive switch, and the element to be detected 51 may be a magnetic part. Among them, the first magnetic sensitive switch may include a first reed switch, and the first reed switch may be a bar, a circle, a square or any irregular shape. The second magnetic sensitive switch may include a second reed switch, and the second reed switch may also be a bar, a circle, a square or any irregular shape. The element to be detected 51 may be a bar magnet extending along the circumference of the pot cover body 25. When at least a part of the bar magnet is within the induction range of the reed switch, the bar magnet can trigger the reed switch to close the magnetic sensitive switch. When the bar magnet is completely out of the induction range of the reed switch, the bar magnet does not trigger the reed switch, and the magnetic sensitive switch does not close.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the pot cover assembly 20 is covered on the pot body assembly 10, the detection element 51 is away from the first magnetic switch, the first magnetic switch is not triggered, and the controller cannot detect the signal of the first magnetic switch. Figure 7 When the pot cover assembly 20 is not covered on the pot body assembly 10 or the cover is not closed properly, the first magnetic switch is attracted to the detection element 51, the first magnetic switch is triggered, and the controller detects the signal of the first magnetic switch, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0071] In other embodiments, when the pot cover assembly 20 is covered on the pot body assembly 10, the detection element 51 is attracted to the first magnetic switch, the first magnetic switch is triggered, and the controller detects the signal of the first magnetic switch; when the pot cover assembly 20 is not covered on the pot body assembly 10 or is not covered properly, the first magnetic switch is away from the detection element 51, the first magnetic switch is not triggered, and the controller cannot detect the signal of the first magnetic switch. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can make a choice according to actual needs.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the detection element 51 is attracted to the second magnetic switch, the second magnetic switch is triggered, and the controller detects the signal of the second magnetic switch, such as Fig. 9 When the functional component 30 is not installed on the pot cover component 20, the second magnetic switch is away from the detection element 51, the second magnetic switch is not triggered, and the controller cannot detect the signal of the second magnetic switch, such as Fig.10 shown.

[0073] In other embodiments, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the element to be detected 51 is far away from the second magnetic switch, the second magnetic switch is not triggered, and the controller cannot detect the signal of the second magnetic switch; when the functional component 30 is not installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the second magnetic switch is attracted to the element to be detected 51, the second magnetic switch is triggered, and the controller detects the signal of the second magnetic switch. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0074] The controller may specifically include a PCB circuit board and a chip disposed on the PCB circuit board. As described above, the pot body assembly 10 may include a pot body 11 and a heating assembly 12, and the controller may specifically be disposed in the heating assembly 12 to control the heating assembly 12 according to the covering state of the pot cover assembly 20 on the pot body assembly 10 and the installation state of the functional assembly 30 on the pot cover assembly 20.

[0075] The controller and the first detector 52 may be connected by a line, or a wireless connection, or a combination of a line connection and a wireless connection, which is not limited in this application, and those skilled in the art may select according to actual needs. The controller and the second detector may be connected by a line, or a wireless connection, or a combination of a line connection and a wireless connection, which is not limited in this application, and those skilled in the art may select according to actual needs.

[0076] In addition, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the functional assembly 30 can also be coupled to the controller. The controller can also control the functional assembly 30 to drive the fan blades 41 in the fan assembly 40 to rotate, so that air circulation is formed inside the pot body 11, thereby making the cooking appliance 100 start to work according to the air frying cooking mode.

[0077] Optionally, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 not being installed on the pot cover assembly 20 , the control assembly controls the cooking appliance 100 to enter only the pressure cooking mode.

[0078] In some embodiments, in response to the pot lid assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 not being installed on the pot lid assembly 20, upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the pressure cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the pressure cooking mode; upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the air-frying cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 not to start working in the air-frying cooking mode.

[0079] As mentioned above, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is not installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the fan assembly 40 cannot work, and the cooking assembly cannot start working in the air frying cooking mode at all. Therefore, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is not installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the user's setting operation of starting the air frying cooking mode is actually an abnormal and invalid operation. The control component controls the cooking appliance 100 not to start working in the air frying cooking mode, which is conducive to avoiding the adverse effects caused by the user's abnormal operation.

[0080] On the other hand, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is not installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the interior of the pot body assembly 10 has been sealed. Since the heating temperature of the air-frying cooking mode is higher than the heating temperature of the pressure cooking mode, if the user mistakenly sets the cooking appliance 100 to enter the air-frying cooking mode, the control assembly controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the air-frying cooking mode, which will cause the internal temperature of the pot body assembly 10 to be too high, and then the pressure to be too high, causing a safety accident.

[0081] In some embodiments, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 not being installed on the pot cover assembly 20 , the control assembly automatically controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the pressure cooking mode.

[0082] Optionally, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 being installed on the pot cover assembly 20 , the control assembly controls the cooking appliance 100 to enter only the air frying cooking mode.

[0083] In some embodiments, in response to the pot lid assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 being installed on the pot lid assembly 20, upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the air-frying cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the air-frying cooking mode; upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the pressure cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 not to start working in the pressure cooking mode.

[0084] As mentioned above, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the functional component 30 drives the exhaust valve 21 on the pot cover component 20 to be opened, so that the accommodation space inside the pot body 11 is connected to the external environment, so that the cooking device 100 cannot start working in the pressure cooking mode at all. Therefore, when the functional component 30 is installed on the pot cover component 20, the user's setting operation of turning on the pressure cooking mode is actually an abnormal and invalid operation. The control component controls the cooking device 100 not to start working in the pressure cooking mode, which is conducive to avoiding the adverse effects caused by the user's abnormal operation.

[0085] In some embodiments, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 being installed on the pot cover assembly 20 , the control assembly automatically controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the air frying cooking mode.

[0086] In some embodiments, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the cooking device 100 can realize both the air frying cooking mode and the pressure cooking mode. For example, the side of the functional assembly 30 close to the pot body assembly 10 may not be provided with a guide surface. In other words, when the pot cover assembly 20 covers the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 is installed on the pot body assembly 10, the exhaust valve 21 on the pot cover assembly 20 may still be in a closed state.

[0087] In this case, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 being installed on the pot cover assembly 20, the control assembly can control the cooking appliance 100 to enter the pressure cooking mode and the air frying cooking mode.

[0088] In some embodiments, in response to the pot lid assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 being installed on the pot lid assembly 20, upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the air-frying cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the air-frying cooking mode; upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the pressure cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the pressure cooking mode.

[0089] At this time, upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the air-frying cooking mode, the control component can not only control the cooking appliance 100 to start working in the air-frying cooking mode, but also remind the user to open the exhaust valve 21, or control the exhaust valve 21 to open automatically. This is within the scope that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0090] In some embodiments, the control component can control the cooking appliance 100 to enter the pressure cooking mode and the air frying cooking mode. It can also include that the control component can control the cooking appliance 100 to first enter the pressure cooking mode and then switch to the air frying cooking mode.

[0091] Specifically, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 covering the pot body assembly 10 and the functional assembly 30 being installed on the pot cover assembly 20, upon receiving the user's operation of first entering the pressure cooking mode and then switching to the air frying cooking mode, the control assembly can control the cooking appliance 100 to first enter the pressure cooking mode and then switch to the air frying cooking mode.

[0092] Optionally, in response to the pot cover assembly 20 not being covered on the pot body assembly 10, the control assembly controls the cooker 100 to enter neither the first cooking mode nor the second cooking mode.

[0093] In some embodiments, in response to the pot lid assembly 20 not being covered on the pot body assembly 10, upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the pressure cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 not to start working in the pressure cooking mode; upon receiving the user's setting operation to start the air-frying cooking mode, the control component controls the cooking appliance 100 not to start working in the air-frying cooking mode.

[0094] As mentioned above, if the pot cover assembly 20 is not covered on the pot body assembly 10, the cooking appliance 100 cannot start working in the pressure cooking mode or the air frying cooking mode. Therefore, the user's setting operation of turning on the pressure cooking mode or the air frying cooking mode is actually an abnormal and invalid operation. The control component controls the cooking device 100 to neither enter the first cooking mode nor the second cooking mode, which helps to avoid the adverse effects caused by the user's abnormal operation.
