Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of induction cookers, and in particular to an induction cooker heating method and an auxiliary heating device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, we often see or use induction cookers. The overall appearance and structure of induction cookers are relatively simple. They mainly include a supporting table, a heating device arranged inside the supporting table, and various spare parts. When they need to be used, they only need to place the metal pot on the supporting table and turn on the switch of the heating device to heat the food in the metal pot.

[0003] In response to related technical issues, the inventor believes that when a metal pot is placed on a supporting platform and heated, it is very easy for it to slide or shake. If the supporting platform is tilted, the metal pot will slide toward one side of the supporting platform. Further improvements are needed to be made to the induction cooker. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an induction cooker heating method and an auxiliary heating device, which can limit the metal pot during the heating process of the induction cooker, improve the stability of the entire induction cooker during operation, and increase the user experience of the induction cooker.

[0005] The present application provides an induction cooker auxiliary heating device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An auxiliary heating device for an induction cooker comprises: an arc-shaped receiving groove arranged at the four corners of a bearing platform; a supporting slider slidably arranged between the inner walls of the receiving groove in a vertical direction; a limiting component arranged on the supporting slider for limiting a cookware; and a driving component arranged on the bearing platform for driving the supporting slider to slide so as to drive the limiting component to slide out of or into the receiving groove.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the induction cooker is working, the driving component can be used to drive the supporting slider to rise. During the rising process, the supporting slider will drive the limiting component to slide out of the accommodating groove, so that the limiting component can abut and limit the outer side of the metal pot from all sides to reduce the metal pot from sliding randomly on the supporting platform, effectively improving the stability of the metal pot during the heating process of the induction cooker and improving the user experience.

[0008] The present application further provides: the limit assembly includes: a mounting rod plugged into the supporting slider; an arc-shaped plate detachably mounted on the mounting rod; and a locking member arranged on the mounting rod for locking the arc-shaped plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the provided locking piece can lock the arc plate at a predetermined position of the mounting rod, so that the arc plate can be quickly installed and disassembled, and the arc plate is easy to replace.

[0010] The present application further provides: the locking member includes: a limiting ring threadedly connected to the shaft and the top of the mounting rod; a socket provided on the arc plate for the mounting rod to pass through; and countersunk grooves provided at both ends of the socket and adapted to the limiting ring.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during the installation of the arc plate, the set limit ring can be interlocked with the countersunk groove to lock the position of the arc plate. When the arc plate needs to be removed or the height of the arc plate needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to rotate the limit ring to adjust the position of the limit ring.

[0012] The present application further provides: the driving assembly includes: a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the outside of the supporting platform and with the inner end extending into the accommodating groove; a rotating bar with one end slidably and rotatably mounted on the bottom of the supporting slider and the other end mounted on the inner end of the rotating rod; a fixed block fixed on the outer end of the rotating rod; and a limiting member arranged on the outside of the supporting platform for limiting the position of the fixed block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to drive the limit assembly to slide out of the accommodating groove, the rotating rod can be rotated to drive the rotating bar to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating bar, the supporting slider can be easily driven to rise to a predetermined height to meet actual needs. When it is necessary to limit the height of the limit assembly, it is only necessary to use the limit piece to limit the fixed block.

[0014] The present application further provides: the limiting member includes: a limiting rod hinged on a fixed block; and a plurality of groups of limiting clips mounted on the outside of the supporting platform and arranged around the rotating rod and adapted to the limiting rod, each group of limiting clips consisting of two limiting clips.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to limit the position of the fixed block, the limit rod can be rotated when the fixed block is rotated to a predetermined position, so that the limit rod is inserted between the two limit clips at the corresponding position. The two limit clips can clamp and limit the limit rod to limit the position of the fixed block.

[0016] The present application is further configured as follows: a first strip groove is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating groove near the middle of the supporting platform, a second strip groove is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating groove away from the first strip groove, a slider is fixed to the bottom of the mounting rod, a notch is provided on the side of the supporting slider near the first strip groove for the slider and the mounting rod to slide out, a sliding groove matching the slider is provided on the inner wall of the first strip groove, and elastic components for driving the slider to slide in the sliding groove are provided in the first strip groove and the second strip groove, and when the supporting slider drives the slider to move to a position flush with the sliding groove, the elastic component can drive the slider to drive the arc plate to slide to abut against the outside of the metal pot.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first strip groove and the second strip groove are set, and when the supporting slider rises to a predetermined height, the arc plate can be moved on the supporting platform under the drive of the elastic component, so that it can adapt to metal pots of different sizes, thereby increasing the scope of application of the present application.

[0018] The present application further provides: the elastic component includes: a slide cylinder slidably connected in the first strip groove and the second strip groove; a telescopic cylinder with one end fixed in the slide cylinder and the other end fixed to an end away from the first strip groove and the second strip groove; and a compression spring installed in the telescopic cylinder and the slide cylinder, the end of the slide cylinder close to each other is sealed, and the elastic force of the compression spring in the second strip groove is greater than the elastic force of the compression spring in the first strip groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic cylinder can cover the first strip groove and the second strip groove when unfolded to ensure the aesthetics of the supporting platform. At the same time, driven by the compression spring, the arc plate can be driven to slide along the extension direction of the first strip groove to clamp metal pots of different sizes.

[0020] The present application further provides that: a limiting groove is provided on one side of the arc plate and the mounting rod close to the second strip groove, and a protrusion adapted to the limiting groove is fixed to the end of the slide cylinder in the second strip groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the provided protrusion can be interlocked with the limiting groove, which can not only limit the position of the arc plate, but also increase the stability of the arc plate, ensuring that the arc plate moves stably in a predetermined direction.

[0022] The present application further provides that: when the arc plate is completely in the accommodating groove, the arc plate and the top of the slide cylinder are parallel to the bearing surface of the bearing platform.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the advantage of such a configuration is that when the limiting component is not used, the arc plate can be completely in the receiving groove, thereby reducing the impact of the arc plate on the metal pot and reducing the situation where debris falls into the receiving groove.

[0024] The present application also provides an electromagnetic cooker heating method, comprising the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: Place the metal pot containing food on the supporting platform and turn on the induction cooker to heat the metal pot;

[0026] Step 2: Move the slide in the second strip groove to release the restriction on the curved plate;

[0027] Step three: Turn the limit rod to release the restriction on the fixed block, and then rotate the fixed block to drive the arc plate to slide out of the accommodating groove to a predetermined position through the rotating rod. When the supporting slider rises to a predetermined height, the compression spring in the second strip groove will drive the arc plate to abut against the outer peripheral side of the metal pot.

[0028] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] By setting a limit component that can be raised and lowered on the supporting platform and turning on the driving component, the limit component can be easily driven out of the receiving groove to clamp and limit the metal pot on the supporting platform, thereby effectively increasing the stability of the metal pot during the entire induction cooker heating process and improving the user experience.

[0030] By setting the first strip groove and the second strip groove, and setting an elastic component, when the arc plate rises to a predetermined height, the elastic component can drive the arc plate to move on the first strip groove, so that the arc plate can clamp metal pots of different sizes, further increasing the scope of application of the present application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] The present application embodiment discloses an auxiliary heating device for an induction cooker, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a receiving groove 10 arranged at the four corners of the supporting platform, and the receiving groove 10 is arranged in an arc shape as a whole. A supporting slider 11 is slidably arranged in the vertical direction in the receiving groove 10, and the outer shape of the supporting slider 11 is adapted to the inner contour of the receiving groove 10. Considering that in practice, when the induction cooker is heated, the metal pot placed on the supporting platform 1 is prone to sliding, especially when the supporting platform 1 is in a certain tilted state, the metal pot is more likely to slide. For this reason, a limiting component is provided on the supporting slider 11, and the limiting component can abut and limit the outer side of the metal pot from the circumferential side to reduce the sliding of the metal pot. In addition, a driving component is also provided on the supporting platform 1, and the driving component is used to drive the supporting slider 11 to rise and fall, so as to drive the limiting component to slide out or slide into the receiving groove 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limit assembly includes: a mounting rod 21 vertically inserted in the middle position of the supporting slider 11, an arc-shaped plate 22 is sleeved on the mounting rod 21, the arc-shaped plate 22 is also adapted to the accommodating groove 10, and in order to facilitate the replacement of the arc-shaped plate 22, a limit ring 23 is threadedly installed at the position of the mounting rod 21 close to the supporting slider 11 and the top position, a socket adapted to the mounting rod 21 is opened on the arc-shaped plate 22, and countersunk grooves 24 for accommodating the limit ring 23 are opened at both ends of the socket.

[0039] When the arc plate 22 needs to be installed, it is only necessary to thread one of the limit rings 23 into a predetermined position of the mounting rod 21 close to the supporting slider 11, and then sleeve the arc plate 22 onto the mounting rod 21 so that the countersunk groove 24 at the bottom of the arc plate 22 matches the limit ring 23, and then thread another limit ring 23 so that the limit ring 23 is placed in the countersunk groove 24 at the top of the arc plate 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes: a rotating rod 3 rotatably mounted on the outside of the supporting platform 1, one end of the rotating rod 3 extends into the accommodating groove 10, and the other end is located on the outside of the supporting platform 1, and a rotating bar 31 is fixed on the inner end of the rotating rod 3, the rotating bar 31 is perpendicular to the rotating rod 3, and a moving block is hinged at one end of the rotating bar 31 away from the rotating rod 3, and the moving block is slidably mounted on the bottom of the supporting slider 11, and a fixed block 33 is fixed on the outer end of the rotating rod 3, and the fixed block 33 is in the shape of a round pancake as a whole, and a limiting member is also provided on the outer side of the supporting platform 1, and the limiting member is used to limit the fixed block 33. In addition, it should be emphasized that the accommodating groove 10 has enough space for the rotating bar 31 to rotate.

[0041] When the arc plate 22 is needed, it is only necessary to release the restriction of the limiter on the fixed block 33, and then rotate the rotating rod 3 to drive the rotating bar 31 to rotate. The rotating bar 31 can drive the supporting slider 11 to slide along the inner wall of the accommodating groove 10 to drive the arc plate 22 to a predetermined height. Multiple arc plates 22 cooperate with each other to limit the metal pot on the supporting platform 1 from the circumferential side to improve the stability of the entire induction cooker heating process.

[0042] In this embodiment, the limit member includes: a limit rod 34 hinged on the outside of the fixed block 33, and multiple groups of limit clips 32 are fixed on the outside of the support platform 1. The limit clips 32 are made of plastic material and have good elasticity. Each group of limit clips 32 has two, and they are all arranged around the outer end of the rotating rod 3. It should be noted that the installation position of the limit clips 32 is aligned with several node positions of the rotation of the rotating rod 3. When the rotating rod 3 is rotated to the predetermined position and needs to be fixed, it is only necessary to rotate the limit rod 34 so that the limit rod 34 is clamped between the corresponding limit clips 32.

[0043] Among them, a first strip groove 41 is opened on the inner wall of the accommodating groove 10 on one side close to the middle position of the supporting platform 1, and a second strip groove 42 is opened on the inner wall of the accommodating groove 10 on the side away from the first strip groove 41. The first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42 are on the same straight line, and a slider 210 is fixed at the bottom of the mounting rod 21. The slider 210 is T-shaped as a whole, and a notch 110 is opened on the side of the supporting slider 11 close to the first strip groove 41 for the mounting rod 21 and the slider 210 to slide out of the supporting slider 11, and a sliding groove matched with the slider 210 is opened on the inner wall of the first strip groove 41, and the extension direction of the sliding groove is consistent with the extension direction of the first strip groove 41.

[0044] In addition, elastic components are provided in the first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42. When the driving component drives the support slider 11 to rise to a predetermined height, that is, the end of the slide groove is aligned with the notch 110 where the slider 210 is located, the elastic component will automatically drive the slider 210 to slide out of the notch 110 and enter the slide groove, so as to drive the mounting rod 21 and the arc plate 22 to slide in the direction of the first strip groove 41 until the arc plate 22 abuts against the outside of the metal pot.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a predetermined distance is provided between the bearing surface of the supporting slider 11 and the bottom of the arc plate 22, so that when the arc plate 22 slides toward the first strip groove 41, the mounting rod 21 is located in the first strip groove 41, and the bottom of the arc plate 22 does not contact the bearing surface of the supporting platform 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the elastic component includes: a slide tube 43 slidably connected in the first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42, the cross-section of the slide tube 43 is rectangular as a whole, and the end of the slide tube 43 close to each other is sealed, and the end away from each other is open, and a telescopic tube 44 is fixed in the slide tube 43, and the telescopic tube 44 is composed of a plurality of rectangular sleeves slidably sleeved on each other, and the end of the telescopic tube 44 away from the slide tube 43 is installed on the inner wall of the end of the first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42 away from each other, and a compression spring 45 is installed in the telescopic tube 44 and the slide tube 43, one end of the compression spring 45 is fixed on the inner wall of the end of the slide tube 43, and the other end is fixed on the inner wall of the end of the first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42 away from each other.

[0047] It should be noted that the elastic force of the compression spring 45 in the second strip groove 42 is greater than the elastic force of the compression spring 45 in the first strip groove 41 . The elastic force of the two compression springs 45 can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions.

[0048] When the supporting slider 11 drives the arc plate 22 to rise to a predetermined position, that is, when the slider 210 is flush with the slide groove, the compression spring 45 in the second strip groove 42 will drive the slide cylinder 43 and the telescopic cylinder 44 in the second strip groove 42 to slide toward the first strip groove 41. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 44 in the first strip groove 41 will shrink. The advantage of such a setting is that the slide cylinder 43 and the telescopic cylinder 44 cooperate with each other to always block and seal the first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42, thereby reducing the possibility that foreign matter falls into the first strip groove 41 and the second strip groove 42 and affects the use of the induction cooker.

[0049] When the arc plate 22 is not in use, the driving assembly can be used to drive the arc plate 22 to retract into the accommodating groove 10. It should be noted that when the arc plate 22 is placed in the accommodating groove 10, the top of the arc plate 22 and the top of the slide 43 are flush with the bearing surface of the bearing platform 1, thereby reducing the aesthetic impact of the limiting assembly on the induction cooker.

[0050] In addition, in order to further improve the stability of the arc plate 22 during use, a limiting groove 220 is opened on the side of the arc plate 22 and the mounting rod 21 close to the second strip groove 42, and a protrusion 430 is fixed to the outer side of the end of the slide cylinder 43 in the second strip groove 42, and the protrusion 430 is adapted to the limiting groove 220.

[0051] When the arc plate 22 is in use, the protrusion 430 on the slide 43 will be engaged with the limiting groove 220 on the outside of the mounting rod 21. When the arc plate 22 is not in use, the arc plate 22 is completely retracted into the accommodating groove 10. At this time, the protrusion 430 will be engaged with the limiting groove 220 on the outside of the arc plate 22. Through this design, the stability of the arc plate 22 can be effectively increased.

[0052] In this embodiment, there is also provided an induction cooker heating method, comprising the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: Place a metal pot containing food on the supporting platform 1 and turn on the induction cooker to heat the metal pot;

[0054] Step 2: Move the slide 43 in the second strip groove 42 to separate the protrusion 430 from the limiting groove 220, thereby releasing the restriction on the arc plate 22;

[0055] Step three: Rotate the limit rod 34 to release the restriction on the fixed block 33, and then rotate the fixed block 33 to drive the arc plate 22 to slide out of the accommodating groove 10 to a predetermined position through the rotating rod 3. When the supporting slider 11 rises to a predetermined height, rotate the limit rod 34 again to engage with the limit clip 32 at the corresponding position. At this time, the protrusion 430 will be mutually engaged with the limit groove 220 on the outside of the arc plate 22. Since the elastic force of the compression spring 45 in the second strip groove 42 is greater than that of the compression spring 45 in the first strip groove 41, the arc plate 22 will be driven to move in the direction of the first strip groove 41, so that the arc plate 22 abuts against the outer peripheral side of the metal pot.

[0056] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
