AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing rice cookers, rice grains can easily remain in the feeding channel during the feeding process, leading to problems such as odor and inaccurate measurement.

Method used

The design employs a combination of a weighing mechanism, a feeding pipe assembly, a feeding chamber assembly, and a ventilation assembly. By controlling the opening and closing of the air inlet and discharge outlet of the feeding pipe, combined with the working time control of the ventilation assembly, accurate rice grain measurement is ensured and residue is prevented.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents rice grains from remaining in the feeding channel, avoids the generation of odors, and improves the accuracy of rice grain measurement.

Abstract

The application discloses an electric rice cooker and a control method thereof. The electric rice cooker comprises a weighing mechanism, a storage bin, a feeding pipe assembly, a feeding cavity assembly, an air suction assembly and a cooking cavity. The storage bin is placed on the weighing mechanism. The feeding pipe assembly is in communication with the storage bin and the feeding cavity assembly respectively. The feeding cavity assembly closes a discharging port. The feeding pipe assembly closes an air inlet. The weighing mechanism weighs the weight of the storage bin. The air suction assembly starts to work. The air suction assembly sucks rice grains in the storage bin into the feeding cavity assembly through the feeding pipe assembly, so that the rice grains fall into the cooking cavity. The weighing mechanism detects the weight in real time until the target weight is reached. The feeding pipe assembly opens the air inlet. The air suction assembly sucks the rice grains in the feeding pipe assembly into the feeding cavity assembly and does not suck the rice grains in the storage bin. The problems that some rice grains are left in the feeding channel during the feeding process of the electric rice cooker in the prior art, the left rice grains produce peculiar smell due to long time left and the metering is not accurate are solved.
