[0002] In the existing cooking devices, some cooking devices are generally provided with a sensor that extends very long and has a convex structure to enter the cooking cavity for temperature measurement in order to detect the temperature of water in the cooking cavity. However, the sensor with a long extension length is easy to form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity, especially when the sensor is provided on the pot cover, when the pot cover is rotated and swung to open the cooking cavity, the pot cover is in an upright or inclined structure relative to the pot body, and the sensor on the pot cover will extend a long length toward the cooking cavity, thereby forming a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity, which is inconvenient for users to use; at the same time, the position distribution of the sensor makes it easy for it to be contacted or adhered to the food in the cooking cavity, so that the sensor cannot be kept in a clean state, which leads to a large deviation in the temperature detected by the sensor, and the problem that the sensor is inconvenient for users to maintain and clean. The above problems seriously affect the user's experience of the cooking device. Summary of the invention

[0009] The sensing member is configured to be switchable between a first structure and a second structure when the sensing member rotates and swings.

[0010] In the aforementioned cooking device, the end position of the sensor can be configured to rotate and swing from a position away from the lower end surface of the cooking cover toward a position close to the lower end surface of the cooking cover, so that the sensor is configured to be in the first structure;

[0011] Alternatively, the end position of the sensor may be configured to rotate and swing from a position close to the lower end surface on the cooking cover toward a position away from the lower end surface on the cooking cover, so that the sensor is configured to be in the second structure.

[0012] In the aforementioned cooking device, the sensor is arranged to form a folding angle A relative to the lower end surface of the cooking cover in the first structure, so that the distance H1 from the end position of the sensor to the lower end surface of the cooking cover along the height direction of the cooking cover is smaller than the distance H2 from the end position of the sensor to the lower end surface of the cooking cover formed in the second structure.

[0013] The aforementioned cooking device, when the sensing member rotates and swings and then assumes the second structure relative to the cooking cover;

[0014] The sensing member is arranged as an upright structure extending relative to the cooking cover to constitute a structure for contact temperature measurement of the liquid in the cooking cavity, or the sensing member is arranged as a bent structure relative to the cooking cover and the bending angle B formed is greater than the bending angle A formed by the sensing member in the first structure so that the sensing member constitutes a structure for contact temperature measurement of the liquid in the cooking cavity.

[0015] In the aforementioned cooking device, when the sensor is in the second structure and the cooking cover forms a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity, the position where the sensor contacts the liquid in the cooking cavity is configured to be non-overlapping with the vertical center axis M of the cooking pot.

When the cooking cover forms a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity and the sensor is in the second structure, the threshold value Q can be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode. When the sensor is in the first structure, the threshold value Q cannot be triggered.

[0022] In the aforementioned cooking device, a threshold R is set in the control module. When the temperature value T1 detected by the temperature sensing element arranged on the outside of the cooking pot for contacting and measuring the temperature with the outer surface of the cooking pot is greater than the temperature value T2 detected by the sensing element and the difference between T1 and T2 is less than the preset temperature value T0, the threshold R can be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode or control the low-temperature cooking mode to continue;

[0023] Alternatively, a threshold value P is set in the control module, and if the temperature value T2 detected by the sensor gradually increases within the preset time t, the threshold value P can be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode or control the low-temperature cooking mode to continue.

[0024] In the aforementioned cooking device, the sensor is configured to form a structure that rotates and swings relative to the cooking cover when the cooking cover opens and closes the cooking cavity, so that the sensor forms a structure that switches between the first structure and the second structure.

[0026] And / or, the sensor is configured to rotate and swing relative to the cooking cover when the cooking cover opens the cooking cavity, so as to switch from the second structure to the first structure.

[0027] In the aforementioned cooking device, the cooking cover is arranged to rotate and swing in the vertical direction relative to the cooking chamber, so that the cooking cover forms an opening and closing structure of the cooking chamber by rotating and swinging;

[0028] The cooking cover is configured to rotate and swing from the front to the rear and from the lower part to the upper part to form a structure for opening the cooking cavity, and is configured to rotate and swing from the rear to the front and from the upper part to the lower part to form a structure for closing the cooking cavity;

[0029] The sensing member is configured to be able to be switched into a first structure by rotating and swinging from a forward direction toward a backward direction, and the sensing member is also configured to be able to be switched into a second structure by rotating and swinging from a backward direction toward a forward direction.

[0030] In the aforementioned cooking device, the sensing component also includes a main body mounted on the cooking cover, and the sensing component is configured to be rotatably and swingably mounted on the main body, so that when the cooking cover closes the cooking cavity, the sensing component rotates and swings from the rearward direction toward the forward direction under the action of gravity to switch to the second structure, and when the cooking cover opens the cooking cavity, the sensing component rotates and swings from the forward direction toward the rearward direction under the action of gravity to switch to the first structure.

[0031] In the aforementioned cooking device, the sensor is arranged to be capable of rotating and swinging relative to the cooking cover when the cooking cover is open to the cooking cavity, so that the sensor is switched to the first structure or the second structure.

[0032] In the aforementioned cooking device, the sensor is configured to rotate and swing when it is subjected to an external force to switch to the first structure, and / or the sensor is configured to rotate and swing when it is free from the external force to switch to the second structure.

[0033] In the aforementioned cooking equipment, the sensing component also includes a first mounting member, which is mounted on the cooking cover. The sensing member is configured to be rotatably and swingably mounted on the first mounting member, and a limiting portion is also provided between the sensing member and the first mounting member, so that the sensing member can rotate and swing when the sensing member is subjected to an external force, and the sensing member cannot rotate and swing when the sensing member is subjected to only gravity.

[0034] In the aforementioned cooking device, at least a portion of the sensing member is configured to be a flexible structure, and the upper end of the sensing member is mounted on the cooking cover. When the sensing member is subjected to an external force, a portion of the sensing member is deformed to form a structure in which the sensing member can rotate and swing to switch to the first structure, and when the sensing member is freed from the external force, the deformed portion of the sensing member is elastically reset to form a structure in which the sensing member can rotate and swing to switch to the second structure.

[0035] Alternatively, a deformation portion with a flexible structure is provided on the sensing member and a shaping portion is provided on the deformation portion, and the shaping portion is configured as a structure that can be deformed when subjected to an external force and is configured as a deformed structure when it is free from the external force, so that when the sensing member is subjected to an external force, the deformation portion and the shaping portion are deformed to form a sensing member that can rotate and swing to switch to the first structure or switch to the second structure.

[0037] Alternatively, a magnetic attraction portion is provided on the cooking cover to form a structure in which the magnetic attraction portion can magnetically attract a part of the sensing member so that the sensing member is maintained in the first structure under the magnetic attraction.

[0038] In the aforementioned cooking device, the sensor is configured to be able to rotate and swing from the inner ring of the cooking cavity toward the outer ring in the radial direction of the cooking pot. When the sensor is located in the cooking cavity and is blocked by the food, the sensor is caused to rotate and swing toward the side wall of the cooking cavity, forming a structure in which the end position of the sensor is away from the food.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] In this solution, a sensing component is provided to realize contact temperature measurement of the liquid in the cooking cavity, so that the detected temperature is more accurate and the detected temperature is not prone to temperature deviation, so that the cooking equipment can accurately control the temperature to achieve the cooking effect for the ingredients.

[0041] The sensing element of the present invention forms a structure for contacting the liquid in the cooking cavity for temperature measurement, so that the temperature of the liquid detected by the sensing element is the actual temperature at which the food is cooked, that is, the actual cooking temperature, thereby achieving higher accuracy in the detected temperature of the liquid and less prone to deviation problems.

[0042] In this solution, the sensing element can switch between the first structure and the second structure, so that the sensing element can perform contact temperature measurement on the liquid in the second structure, and the sensing element can form a structure in the first structure that does not block the user from performing cooking operations in the cooking cavity, thereby greatly improving the convenience for the user to perform cooking operations.

[0043] The sensing member of the present solution can be stably and effectively switched between the first structure and the second structure, that is, can be switched between a folded structure and an extended structure, which can effectively facilitate users to maintain and clean the sensing member.

[0044] The sensor of the present invention can be realized in the first structure or the second structure during the process of the cooking cover opening and closing the cooking cavity. The sensor is set to a rotatable and swingable motion structure, so that the sensor can be stably switched in the rotating and swinging structure, which not only allows the sensor to detect the temperature, but also ensures that the sensor does not form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations.

[0045] The position limiting part of the sensor of the present invention enables the sensor to form a structure relatively far away from the food and relatively close to the side wall of the cooking cavity, so that the sensor is not easy to contact the food or be adhered to by the food, and the sensor can effectively stay in a clean state to contact the liquid for temperature measurement, so that the detected temperature is more accurate and less prone to temperature measurement deviation problems. At the same time, the sensor in a clean state is more convenient for users to maintain and clean.

[0046] The sensing member of the present invention can be configured to realize a rotational swinging structure under the action of gravity, so that the structure for switching the sensing member between the first structure and the second structure is simpler and has lower costs. At the same time, the simple structure is convenient for users to maintain and clean the sensing member.

[0047] The sensing element of the present invention can be set as a flexible structure or a deformation part to realize that the sensing element can form a rotating and swinging structure under the deformed structure, so that the structure in which the sensing element switches between the first structure and the second structure under the external force is simpler and has lower cost. At the same time, the simple structure makes it convenient for users to maintain and clean the sensing element.

[0048] The sensing element of the present invention is arranged as a rotatable and swingable structure. When the sensing element encounters food obstruction, it will form a structure that deflects toward the side wall of the cooking cavity, thereby effectively preventing the food from contacting the end position of the sensing element or adhering to the sensing element, thereby improving the accuracy of the sensing element in contact detection of the liquid temperature, so that there is no deviation in the detected temperature.

[0049] The cooking device of the present solution can start and execute a low-temperature cooking mode, realize low-temperature cooking processing of food materials in the low-temperature cooking mode, and detect the contact of liquid through a sensor to realize the detection of the actual cooking temperature, so that the cooking device has a multifunctional use effect.

[0050] When the cooking device of this solution performs low-temperature cooking on food, the sensing element detects the temperature of the contact liquid, thereby achieving a precise temperature control effect of the cooking device, which is beneficial to improving the taste of the low-temperature cooked food.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0064] Embodiment: The cooking device 1 of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the structure, the cooking device 1 is mainly used for cooking ingredients, especially low-temperature cooking of meat ingredients. The actual cooking temperature of the ingredients during the cooking process is detected to achieve precise temperature control to perform the low-temperature cooking function, so as to better cook the ingredients.

[0065] The cooking device 1 of the present solution includes a cooking pot 10 and a cooking cover 20. The cooking pot 10 is used to hold food and liquid, the liquid is water. The cooking pot 10 is provided with a cooking cavity 101, the cooking cavity 101 is used to hold food and water, the cooking cover 20 can constitute an opening and closing structure for the cooking cavity 101, the cooking cover 20 can constitute an opening structure for the cooking cavity 101 or a closing structure for the cooking cavity 101. When the cooking cover 20 opens the cooking cavity 101, the user can perform cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101. When the cooking cover 20 closes the cooking cavity 101, the cooking device 1 can start working and perform cooking operations.

[0066] Among them, a sensing component 30 is arranged on the cooking cover 20, and the sensing component 30 includes a sensing member 301. The sensing member 301 is configured to have a structure that can rotate and swing relative to the cooking cover 20. The sensing member 301 realizes the detection of the temperature of the liquid in the cooking cavity 101, and the sensing member 301 is configured to have a structure that can rotate and swing. Specifically, the sensing member 301 is configured to be configured to be in a first structure or a second structure relative to the cooking cover 20; mainly, when the sensing member 301 rotates and swings, the sensing member 301 is configured to be switchable between the first structure and the second structure. When the sensing member 301 rotates and swings, it can be configured to be in the first structure, and when the sensing member 301 rotates and swings again, it can be configured to be in the second structure, and the switching effect between the first structure and the second structure can be achieved through the rotational swinging motion.

[0067] When the sensing member 301 is configured to be in the first structure, the sensing member 301 is configured to be in a folded structure relative to the cooking cover 20 in the first structure. When the cooking cover 20 is in an open structure relative to the cooking cavity 101 and the sensing member 301 is in the first structure, the sensing member 301 and the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 are configured to be in a non-contacting structure. At this time, the sensing member 301 is in a folded structure on the cooking cover 20 to be not located in the cooking cavity 101 and will not contact the liquid in the cooking cavity 101. The folded structure of the sensing member 301 does not form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, and the user can perform cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101 more conveniently. When the sensing member 301 is in an open structure relative to the cooking cavity 101 and the cooking cover 20 is in an open structure relative to the cooking cavity 101 and the sensing member 301 is in the first structure, the sensing member 301 and the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 are configured to be non-contacting with each other. When the cooking cover 20 is in the second structure, the sensor 301 is in a structure extending toward the cooking cavity 101 in the second structure. When the cooking cover 20 forms a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101 and the sensor 301 is in the second structure, the sensor 301 and the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 are configured to be in contact with each other. At this time, the sensor 301 is located in the cooking cavity 101 to be in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure. The sensor 301 extends a certain length to extend into the liquid in the cooking cavity 101, forming a structure for contacting the liquid for temperature measurement. At this time, the cooking device 1 can start the cooking mode to perform cooking operations on the ingredients, and achieve precise temperature control through the sensor 301.

[0068] Among them, when the user operates the cooking cover 20 to form an open structure for the cooking cavity 101, the sensor 301 can be switched from the second structure to the first structure, so that the sensor 301 is in a folded structure, and the sensor 301 will not form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101; when the user operates the cooking cover 20 to form a closed structure for the cooking cavity 101, the sensor 301 can be switched from the first structure to the second structure, so that the sensor 301 is in an extended structure, and the sensor 301 can perform contact temperature measurement on the liquid in the cooking cavity 101.

[0069] In the present solution, with respect to the rotating and swinging structure portion of the sensor 301, the end position of the sensor 301 is arranged to be configured as a structure that rotates and swings in a direction from a position away from the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20 toward a position close to the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20, so that the sensor 301 is configured to be in a first structure. When the sensor 301 is rotated and swung to switch to the first structure, the end position of the sensor 301 is rotated and swung in a direction from a position away from the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20 toward a position close to the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20 during the rotation and swinging process, thereby forming a folded structure of the sensor 301, thereby realizing that the sensor 301 is rotated and swung from an extended structure to a folded structure.

[0070] In the present solution, with respect to the rotating and swinging structure of the sensor 301, the end position of the sensor 301 is configured to be configured to be a structure that rotates and swings from a position close to the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20 toward a position away from the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20, so that the sensor 301 is configured to be in the second structure. During the rotating and swinging process of the sensor 301, the end position of the sensor 301 is configured to rotate and swing from a position close to the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20 toward a position away from the lower end surface 201 on the cooking cover 20, thereby forming a structure in which the sensor 301 is configured to be in an extended and stretched state, thereby realizing that the sensor 301 rotates and swings from a folded structure to an extended and stretched structure.

[0071] In the present solution, the sensor 301 is arranged to form a folding angle A relative to the lower end surface 201 of the cooking cover 20 in the first structure, so that the distance H1 from the end position of the sensor 301 to the lower end surface 201 of the cooking cover 20 along the height direction of the cooking cover 20 is smaller than the distance H2 from the end position of the sensor 301 to the lower end surface 201 of the cooking cover 20 in the second structure, that is, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure state in the first structure, and forms a folding angle A in the folded structure state, mainly because the sensor 301 forms a folding angle A relative to the lower end surface 201 of the cooking cover 20, and the folding angle A is less than or equal to 30 degrees, and a distance H1 is formed in the folded structure. When the sensor 301 is in the second structure, it is in an extended structure, and a distance H2 is formed in the extended direction. The distance H1 formed in the folded structure is smaller than the distance H2, so that the sensor 301 does not form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101.

[0072] In the present solution, when the sensing member 301 rotates and swings and then presents the second structure relative to the cooking cover 20, the sensing member 301 is in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure. In the extended structure, the sensing member 301 can be set to be an extended upright structure relative to the cooking cover 20 to form a structure for contact temperature measurement of the liquid in the cooking cavity 101. At this time, the sensing member 301 is in an upright structure in the vertical direction, so that the sensing member 301 extends a longer length to enter the cooking cavity 101 to contact the liquid for detecting the temperature, ensuring that the sensing member 301 can form contact with the liquid at the end position of the extension to measure the temperature.

[0073] In the present solution, when the sensing member 301 rotates and swings and then presents the second structure relative to the cooking cover 20, the sensing member 301 is in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure. In the extended structure, the sensing member 301 can be set to be a bent structure relative to the cooking cover 20 and the bending angle B formed is greater than the bending angle A formed by the sensing member 301 in the first structure, so that the sensing member 301 is configured to be a structure for contact temperature measurement of the liquid in the cooking cavity 101. At this time, the sensing member 301 can also be in a bent shape with a certain bending angle B, and the bending angle B is greater than or equal to 60 degrees. At this time, although the sensing member 301 is in an extended structure with a certain bending angle, the end position of the sensing member 301 still extends into the cooking cavity 101 to form a structure in contact with the liquid, thereby realizing contact temperature measurement of the liquid.

[0074] Optionally, the bending angle B is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than 90 degrees, so that the sensing element 301 has an extended structure with a certain bending angle.

[0075] Optionally, when the bending angle B is less than or equal to 90 degrees, when the bending angle B is equal to 90 degrees, the sensing element 301 is in an extended and stretched vertical structure.

[0076] In the present solution, in order to prevent the sensor 301 from contacting the food, when the sensor 301 is in the second structure and the cooking cover 20 forms a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the position where the sensor 301 contacts the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 is configured to be a non-overlapping structure with the vertical center axis M of the cooking chamber 10, so that the structural portion of the sensor 301 that contacts the liquid for temperature measurement can be relatively far away from the vertical center axis M of the cooking cavity 101, which can effectively prevent the structural portion of the sensor 301 that contacts the liquid for temperature measurement from contacting the food in the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 effectively contacts the liquid for temperature measurement, the detected temperature is more accurate, and the sensor 301 is easier to keep in a clean state and easier to maintain and clean.

[0077] In this solution, in order to prevent the sensor 301 from contacting the food, and thus improve the accuracy of the temperature measurement by the sensor 301, the end position of the sensor 301 is set to be below the horizontal plane N where the center point E of the cooking cavity 101 in the vertical direction is located, so that the sensor 301 can be extended into the liquid to form a contact temperature measurement effect, and at the same time, it can be relatively close to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 101 in the vertical direction to measure the temperature. The detected temperature is the actual temperature during cooking, and the accuracy of the detected temperature is higher. The end position of the sensor 301 is set to be from the radial direction of the cooking pot 10 to the bottom wall of the cooking cavity 101. The horizontal distance L1 of the side wall is smaller than the horizontal distance L2 from the end position of the sensor 301 in the radial direction to the vertical center axis M of the cooking chamber 10, so that the end position of the sensor 301 in the radial direction is relatively close to the side wall of the cooking cavity 101, and the end position of the sensor 301 is relatively far from the vertical center axis M of the cooking cavity 101, which can effectively prevent the end position of the sensor 301 from contacting the food in the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 can effectively contact the liquid to measure the temperature, the detected temperature is more accurate, and the sensor 301 is easier to keep in a clean state and easier to maintain and clean.

[0078] In the present solution, in order to prevent the sensor 301 from contacting the food, when the cooking cover 20 forms a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the projection areas of the sensor 301 projected along the height direction of the cooking cover 20 in the first structure and the second structure are configured to be non-overlapping structures with the vertical center axis M, so that the placement positions of the sensor 301 formed in the first structure and the second structure do not overlap with the vertical center axis M, thereby making the end position of the sensor 301 away from the vertical center axis M, preventing the end position of the sensor 301 from contacting the food in the cooking cavity 101, and the path area formed by the sensor 301 in the rotation and swinging is configured to be non-overlapping structures with the vertical center axis M, that is, the path area passed by the sensor 301 in the rotation and swinging will not overlap with the vertical center axis M, further making the end position of the sensor 301 away from the vertical center axis M, preventing the end position of the sensor 301 from contacting the food in the cooking cavity 101.

[0079] It can be seen that in the present embodiment, the position of the sensor 301 or the end position of the sensor 301 can be relatively far away from the vertical center axis M of the cooking pot 10 or the center axis of the cooking cavity 101, and the position of the sensor 301 or the end position of the sensor 301 can be relatively close to the side wall of the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 is not easy to contact the food, and then the sensor 301 can effectively contact the liquid for temperature measurement, so that the detected temperature is more accurate; at the same time, the sensor 301 can be kept in a relatively clean state, and the food is not easy to adhere to or contact the sensor 301. The sensor 301 in a clean state is easier to maintain and clean, and the temperature detected by the sensor 301 in a clean state is more accurate, and it is not easy to have the problem of temperature measurement deviation.

[0080] In the present embodiment, an installation cavity is provided in the cooking cover 20, and the installation cavity is provided in a recessed structure, and at least a part of the installation cavity is provided in an annular structure, wherein when the sensor 301 is in the first structure on the cooking cover 20, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure, and the sensor 301 is provided in an arc-shaped structure under the folded structure, and the arc-shaped structure corresponds to the annular structure of the installation cavity, so that the length structure part of the sensor 301 is in an arc-shaped structure to form a structure corresponding to the annular structure of the installation cavity, thereby ensuring that the placement positions formed by the sensor 301 in the first structure and the second structure do not overlap with the vertical center axis M, and at the same time ensuring that the path area formed by the sensor 301 in the rotation and swinging is in a non-overlapping structure with the vertical center axis M, so that the end position of the sensor 301 can effectively prevent from contacting the food in the cooking cavity 101.

[0081] It is understandable that when the user places food materials in the cooking cavity 101 , the food materials are generally concentrated in the middle or center or near the center of the cooking cavity 101 .

[0082] In the scheme, when the cooking cover 20 is in an open structure relative to the cooking cavity 101, a first space area 40 is formed between the cooking cavity 101 and the cooking cover 20, mainly the cooking cavity 101 and the cooking cover 20 form the first space area 40 in the direction of opening and closing the cooking cover 20, and when the sensor 301 is in the first structure relative to the cooking cover 20, the sensor 301 is configured to be folded back toward the side direction of the cooking cover 20, so that the sensor 301 is configured to not block the user from cooking the cooking cavity 101 through the first space area 40. When the cooking cover 20 forms an open structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the sensing member 301 is in a folded structure under the first structure, and the end position of the sensing member 301 is toward the side direction of the cooking cover 20, so that the sensing member 301 as a whole is in a folded structure relative to the cooking cover 20. At this time, the sensing member 301 will not form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101. When the user performs cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, the cooking cavity 101 can be effectively cooked through the first space area 40.

[0083] It can be seen that the sensor 301 is in a folded structure in the first structure, so that the sensor 301 forms a structure that does not block the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, which greatly improves the convenience of the user in performing cooking operations.

[0084] The cooking device 1 of the present solution further comprises a control module, which is connected to the sensor 301, and when the cooking device 1 starts working, the control module and the sensor 301 are electrically connected. A threshold value Q is set in the control module. When the cooking cover 20 forms a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101 and the sensor 301 is in the second structure, the threshold value Q is set to be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode, and when the sensor 301 is in the first structure, the threshold value Q is set not to be triggered; wherein, the cooking device 1 is provided with a low-temperature cooking mode, so that the cooking device 1 can perform low-temperature cooking on the food. When the cooking cover 20 closes the cooking cavity 101, and the sensor 301 forms an extended structure in the second structure to be located in the cooking cavity 101 to contact the liquid for temperature measurement, the threshold value Q in the control module can be triggered at this time, so as to start the low-temperature cooking mode. In the low-temperature cooking mode, the sensor 301 detects the temperature of the liquid in real time, and the control module controls the working state of the heating element based on the temperature value detected by the sensor 301, thereby controlling the temperature of the liquid and controlling the cooking temperature.

[0085] Among them, when the sensor 301 is in the first structure, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure and cannot form the effect of contacting the liquid for temperature measurement. At this time, the threshold Q cannot be triggered and the cooking device 1 cannot start the low-temperature cooking mode.

[0086] In this solution, the sensor 301 feeds back the detected temperature value of the liquid and transmits a temperature signal, which is then transmitted to the control module. The control module controls the working state of the heating element based on the received temperature signal, thereby achieving low-temperature cooking of the ingredients in the low-temperature cooking mode. In the low-temperature cooking mode, the cooking temperature is the temperature of the liquid maintained between 50 and 85 degrees. Different preset temperatures can be pre-set according to different ingredients, thereby achieving the effect of low-temperature cooking.

[0087] In this solution, a threshold R is set in the control module. When the temperature value T1 detected by the temperature sensing element arranged on the outside of the cooking pot 10 for contacting and measuring the temperature of the outer surface of the cooking pot 10 is greater than the temperature value T2 detected by the sensing element 301 and the difference between T1 and T2 is less than the preset temperature value T0, the threshold R can be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode or control the low-temperature cooking mode to continue; that is, the cooking device 1 is also provided with a temperature sensing element to contact and measure the temperature of the outer surface of the cooking pot 10, mainly to contact and measure the temperature of the bottom outer surface of the cooking pot 10, and combined with The sensor 301 measures the temperature of the liquid in the cooking cavity 101, and then outputs two temperature values. When the temperature value T1 detected by the temperature sensor is greater than the temperature value T2 detected by the sensor 301 and the difference between T1-T2 is less than the preset temperature value T0, it means that the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor is large and the temperature value detected by the sensor 301 is small. At the same time, when the difference between the two temperatures is less than the preset temperature value T0, it means that the temperature difference formed by the two temperature values ​​is within the preset range, and the low-temperature cooking mode can be controlled to start or control the low-temperature cooking mode to continue.

[0088] The preset temperature value T0 is less than or equal to 10 degrees.

[0089] It can be understood that when the difference between T1-T2 is greater than or equal to the preset temperature value T0, it indicates that the temperature difference between the two is too large. In this case, the sensor 301 is located in a folded structure under the first structure, resulting in the sensor 301 not being rotated and swung to enter the cooking cavity 101 to contact the liquid for temperature measurement. At this time, the low-temperature cooking mode cannot be started.

[0090] Alternatively, in the present solution, a threshold value P is provided in the control module. If the temperature value T2 detected by the sensor 301 gradually increases within the preset time t, the threshold value P may be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode or to control the low-temperature cooking mode to continue. That is, when the sensor 301 is in an extended structure in the second structure to be located in the cooking cavity 101 to contact and measure the temperature of the liquid in the cooking cavity 101, the cooking cover 20 forms a closing structure for the cooking cavity 101 so that the sensor 301 enters the cooking cavity 101 in the second structure to contact and measure the temperature of the liquid. At the same time, the sensor 301 continuously detects the temperature of the liquid within the preset time t. If the temperature value T2 detected within the preset time t is a gradually increasing structure, it can be indirectly indicated that the sensor 301 is located in the cooking cavity 101 to contact the liquid and can measure the temperature of the liquid normally. Then, the threshold value P may be triggered to form a control module to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode or to control the low-temperature cooking mode to continue. In the low-temperature cooking mode, a low-temperature cooking effect is achieved for the food.

[0091] Preferably, the preset time length t is set to be greater than or equal to 5 seconds and less than or equal to 45 seconds.

[0092] It can be understood that if the temperature value T2 detected within the preset time t is not in a gradually increasing structure, it can also indicate that the sensor 301 is not in contact with the liquid. At this time, the liquid level in the cooking cavity 101 may be low, or the sensor 301 has not switched to the second structure. In the structure where the sensor 301 is not in contact with the liquid, the sensor 301 is in the folded structure mainly to detect the temperature of the gas in the cooking cavity 101. Since no steam is formed in the cooking cavity 101, the temperature value detected by the sensor 301 will not have a gradually increasing structure. The temperature value will remain unchanged within the preset time t. At this time, the threshold value P cannot be triggered and the low-temperature cooking mode cannot be started. Therefore, it can be ensured that the threshold value P can be triggered to control the start of the low-temperature cooking mode or control the continuation of the low-temperature cooking mode only when the sensor 301 is in the second structure in the cooking cavity 101 and in contact with the liquid.

[0093] In this solution, the structural part for rotating and swinging the sensing element 301 mainly includes the following structural modes:

[0094] The first structural mode is that the sensor 301 is arranged to form a structure that rotates and swings relative to the cooking cover 20 when the cooking cover 20 opens and closes the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 forms a structure that switches between a first structure and a second structure; that is, when the cooking cover 20 is in the process of opening and closing the cooking cavity 101, the cooking cover 20 will drive the sensor 301 to rotate and swing synchronously, and the sensor 301 forms a switching effect between the first structure and the second structure during the rotation and swinging.

[0095] The sensing member 301 is configured to rotate and swing relative to the cooking cover 20 during the process of the cooking cover 20 closing the cooking cavity 101, so as to switch from the first structure to the second structure. When the user operates the cooking cover 20 to close the cooking cavity 101, the sensing member 301 rotates and swings to switch from the first structure to the second structure, that is, the sensing member 301 switches from the folded structure to the extended structure; and / or, the sensing member 301 is configured to rotate and swing relative to the cooking cover 20 during the process of the cooking cover 20 opening the cooking cavity 101, so as to switch from the second structure to the first structure. When the user operates the cooking cover 20 to open the cooking cavity 101, the sensing member 301 rotates and swings to switch from the second structure to the first structure, that is, the sensing member 301 switches from the extended structure to the folded structure; the cooking cover 20 can make the sensing member 301 rotate and swing synchronously during the process of opening and closing the cooking cavity 101, thereby realizing the switching of the sensing member 301 between the first structure and the second structure.

[0096] In the specific structural part, the cooking cover 20 is set to a structure that rotates and swings relative to the cooking pot 10 in the vertical direction, so that the cooking cover 20 forms an opening and closing structure for the cooking cavity 101 by rotating and swinging; the cooking device 1 may include an equipment body, the cooking pot 10 is detachably installed in the equipment body, and the cooking cover 20 is rotatably and swingably installed on the equipment body, and the opening and closing structure of the cooking cavity 101 is realized by rotating and swinging the cooking cover 20, wherein the cooking cover 20 can be set to rotate and swing from the front to the rear and from the lower part to the upper part to form a structure for opening the cooking cavity 101, and can be set to rotate and swing from the rear to the front and from the upper part to the lower part to form a structure for closing the cooking cavity 101; the main The rear end position of the cooking cover 20 is rotatably connected to the rear end position of the device body, and the user can operate the cooking cover 20 to rotate and swing relative to the device body to achieve the opening and closing effect of the cooking cavity 101; when the cooking cover 20 performs a rotational and swinging motion, it drives the sensor 301 thereon to perform a synchronous rotational and swinging motion, and the sensor 301 is set to rotate and swing from the forward direction to the backward direction to switch to the first structure, and the sensor 301 is also set to rotate and swing from the backward direction to the forward direction to switch to the second structure, so that the user can realize the rotation and swing of the sensor 301 during the process of rotating and swinging the cooking cover 20, and then realize the switching of the sensor 301 between the first structure and the second structure.

[0097] The sensing component 30 further comprises a main body 302 mounted on the cooking cover 20, wherein the sensing member 301 is arranged to be rotatably and swingably mounted on the main body 302, wherein the upper end of the main body 302 is connected to the cooking cover 20, and the lower end of the main body 302 is connected to the sensing member 301, and can be arranged to be hingedly connected, so that the sensing member 301 can perform a rotational and swinging motion relative to the main body 302, so that in the process of the cooking cover 20 closing the cooking cavity 101, the sensing member 301 rotates and swings from the rearward direction to the forward direction under the action of gravity to switch to the second structure, and in the process of the cooking cover 20 opening the cooking cavity 101, the sensing member 301 rotates and swings from the forward direction to the rearward direction under the action of gravity to switch to the first structure; when the user operates the cooking cover 20 to open the cooking cavity 101, the cooking cover 20 drives the sensing member 301 to perform a synchronous rotational and swinging motion, and under the action of its own gravity, the sensing member 301 When the cooking chamber 101 is opened and closed by the user, the cooking cover 20 drives the sensing member 301 to rotate and swing synchronously, and the sensing member 301 is caused to rotate and swing from the rearward direction to the forward direction under the action of its own gravity, and the sensing member 301 is caused to rotate and swing from the rearward direction to the forward direction, and the sensing member 301 is caused to rotate and swing from the rearward direction to the forward direction, and the sensing member 301 is caused to rotate and swing to switch to the second structure. It can be seen that the cooking cover 20 can form a structure in which the sensing member 301 rotates and swings under the action of gravity during the process of opening and closing the cooking chamber 101, thereby realizing the switching effect of the sensing member 301 between the first structure and the second structure.

[0098] The second structural mode is that the sensor 301 is arranged to be able to be configured to be a structure that can rotate and swing relative to the cooking cover 20 when the cooking cover 20 is in an open structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 can be switched to the first structure or the second structure; that is, when the cooking cover 20 forms an open structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the sensor 301 is moved away from the cooking cavity 101 along with the cooking cover 20, so that the sensor 301 is not located in the cooking cavity 101. At this time, the sensor 301 is exposed on the cooking cover 20, and the sensor 301 can be operated by the user to realize the rotation and swinging structure, and the sensor 301 can be swung to realize switching between the first structure and the second structure.

[0099] Among them, the sensing member 301 is configured to rotate and swing to switch to the first structure when it is subjected to an external force, and / or the sensing member 301 is configured to rotate and swing to switch to the second structure when it is separated from the external force; when the user operates the sensing member 301, the external force can be applied to the sensing member 301, so that the sensing member 301 rotates and swings under the external force, and switches to the first structure through the rotation and swinging. At this time, the sensing member 301 switches to a folded structure under the external force; or, when the external force applied by the user to the sensing member 301 disappears, that is, the external force is separated from the sensing member 301, the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing to switch to the second structure to form an extended and stretched structure, so that the sensing member 301 switches from the first structure to the second structure under its own restoring rebound force.

[0100] The sensing element 301 in the second structural mode specifically includes the following modes:

[0101] Method 1: When the cooking cover 20 forms an open structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the user can apply an external force to the sensor 301, and the sensor 301 is caused to rotate and swing the cooking cover 20 under the external force. The sensor 301 can be switched to the first structure or the second structure during the rotation and swing. It can be understood that when the sensor 301 is switched to the first structure under the external force, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure relative to the cooking cover 20. When the user performs cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, the sensor 301 will not form a blocking structure. When the sensor 301 is switched to the second structure under the external force, the sensor 301 is in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure relative to the cooking cover 20. When the sensor 301 is in an extended structure, the user can operate the cooking cover 20 to rotate and swing to form a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 can be in contact with the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 to measure the temperature, thereby achieving a low-temperature cooking effect on the food.

[0102] In the specific structural part, the sensing component 30 also includes a first mounting member 303, the first mounting member 303 is mounted on the cooking cover 20, the upper end of the first mounting member 303 is connected to the cooking cover 20 and installed, the lower end of the first mounting member 303 is connected to the sensing member 301, and the sensing member 301 is arranged to be rotatably and swingably mounted on the first mounting member 303, so that the sensing member 301 can perform a rotational and swinging motion relative to the first mounting member 303, and a limiting portion 306 is also arranged between the sensing member 301 and the first mounting member 303, so that when the sensing member 301 is subjected to an external force, the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing, and when the sensing member 301 is only subjected to gravity, the sensing member 301 cannot rotate and swing; the limiting portion 306 can be arranged as a limiting structure formed by convex points and concave points, such as on one of the first mounting member 303 and the sensing member 301. A convex point is set, and a concave point is set on the other side. When the convex point corresponds to the concave point, a limiting structure is formed between the sensing member 301 and the first mounting member 303. When the sensing member 301 is only affected by its own gravity, the gravity of the sensing member 301 cannot make the sensing member 301 rotate and swing, and the limiting force generated by the limiting part 306 is greater than the gravity. When the user applies an external force to the sensing member 301, the external force is greater than the limiting force generated by the limiting part 306, so that the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing. When the user applies an external force to the sensing member 301, the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing to switch to the first structure. When the user applies an external force in the opposite direction, the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing to switch to the second structure, thereby achieving the effect of switching between the first structure and the second structure.

[0103] Optionally, the sensing member 301 and the first mounting member 303 are formed into a hinged structure.

[0104] Optionally, the limiting portions 306 may be provided in more than two groups. When the sensing member 301 is in the first structure, the first group of limiting portions 306 enables the sensing member 301 to remain in a folded structure under the first structure. When the sensing member 301 is in the second structure, the second group of limiting portions 306 enables the sensing member 301 to remain in an extended structure under the second structure.

[0105] In the second method, when the cooking cover 20 is in the open structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the user can apply an external force to the sensor 301, so that the sensor 301 can rotate and swing the cooking cover 20 under the external force. The sensor 301 can switch to the first structure or the second structure during the rotation and swing. It can be understood that when the sensor 301 switches to the first structure under the external force, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure relative to the cooking cover 20. At this time, when the user performs cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, The sensing member 301 will not form a blocking structure. When the sensing member 301 switches to the second structure under an external force or under its own reset rebound action, the sensing member 301 is in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure relative to the cooking cover 20. When the sensing member 301 is in an extended structure, the user can operate the cooking cover 20 to rotate and swing to form a closing structure for the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensing member 301 can come into contact with the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 to measure the temperature, thereby achieving a low-temperature cooking effect for the food.

[0106] In the specific structural part, at least a part of the sensing member 301 is set to be a flexible structure, and the flexible structure enables the sensing member 301 to be deformed. The upper end of the sensing member 301 is installed on the cooking cover 20, and the sensing member 301 is in a structure that extends downward on the cooking cover 20. When the sensing member 301 is subjected to an external force, a part of the sensing member 301 is deformed to form a first structure in which the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing to switch to the first structure, and when the sensing member 301 is separated from the external force, the deformed part of the sensing member 301 is elastically reset to form a second structure in which the sensing member 301 can rotate and swing to switch to the second structure; that is, when the user applies an external force to the sensing member 301, the sensing member 301 The part with the soft structure on 301 is deformed so that the sensing member 301 rotates and swings, and switches to the first structure under the rotation and swinging. At this time, the sensing member 301 is in a folded structure; when the external force applied by the user is separated from the sensing member 301, the part with the soft structure on the sensing member 301 will reset and rebound under the deformed structure, and under the action of the reset rebound force, the sensing member 301 switches from the first structure to the second structure. At this time, the sensing member 301 switches to an extended and stretched structure. It can be seen that the external force applied by the user and the reset rebound force of the sensing member 301 can realize the structure of the sensing member 301 to rotate and swing, thereby realizing the switching effect between the first structure and the second structure.

[0107] Method three, when the cooking cover 20 forms an open structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, the user can apply an external force to the sensor 301, and under the external force, the sensor 301 causes the cooking cover 20 to rotate and swing. The sensor 301 can be switched to the first structure or the second structure during the rotation and swing. It can be understood that when the sensor 301 switches to the first structure under the external force, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure relative to the cooking cover 20. At this time, when the user performs cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, the sensor 301 does not form a blocking structure. When the sensor 301 switches to the second structure under the external force, the sensor 301 is in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure relative to the cooking cover 20. When the sensor 301 is in an extended structure, the user can operate the cooking cover 20 to rotate and swing to form a closed structure with respect to the cooking cavity 101, so that the sensor 301 can be in contact with the liquid in the cooking cavity 101 to measure the temperature, thereby achieving a low-temperature cooking effect for the food.

[0108] In the specific structural part, a deformation part 304 with a flexible structure is arranged on the sensing member 301, and a shaping part 305 is arranged on the deformation part 304. The deformation part 304 is arranged to be deformable when subjected to an external force, and the shaping part 305 is arranged to be a structure that can be deformed when subjected to an external force and is arranged to be a deformed structure when it is separated from the external force, so that when the sensing member 301 is subjected to an external force, the deformation part 304 and the shaping part 305 are deformed to form a sensing member 301 that can rotate and swing to switch to the first structure or switch to the second structure; that is, when the sensing member 301 is subjected to an external force, the deformation part 304 and the shaping part 305 on the sensing member 301 are both deformed, and when the external force disappears, the shaping part 305 keeps it and the deformation part 304 in the deformed structure, and at this time the sensing member 301 is subjected to an external force. The measuring piece 301 is formed to remain in the deformed structure, that is, to remain in the deformed structure; wherein, when the sensing piece 301 is deformed by an external force, a rotational swinging structure is formed and switched to the first structure under the rotational swinging, at this time, under the action of the shaping portion 305, the sensing piece 301 is switched to the folding structure and maintained in the folding structure; wherein, when the sensing piece 301 is deformed by an external force again, a rotational swinging structure is formed and switched from the first structure to the second structure under the rotational swinging, that is, to achieve the switch from the folding structure to the extended and stretched structure, at this time, under the action of the shaping portion 305, the sensing piece 301 is switched to the extended and stretched structure and maintained in the extended and stretched structure. It can be seen that the sensing piece 301 can be switched between the first structure and the second structure by an external force.

[0109] In the process that the sensing member 301 is deformed to form a rotational swing, the shaping portion 305 drives the deformation portion 304 to deform synchronously, and can drive the deformation portion 304 to be maintained in the deformed structure.

[0110] Optionally, the shaping portion 305 can be set to a structure similar to the aluminum wire or copper wire in the electric wire or other metal materials. The shaping portion 305 can be set to a sheet-shaped, linear or other shaped structure; when the shaping portion 305 is subjected to an external force, the shaping portion 305 will be deformed, and will not automatically reset and rebound after deformation, but will be deformed and reset when further subjected to an external force. The direction and size of the deformation are affected by the external force. The user can apply an external force to deform the sensor 301 in any direction, and can operate the deformation direction of the sensor 301 and the size of the folding angle under the folding structure as needed.

[0111] It can be understood that when the shaping portion 305 is deformed under the external force and is in a deformed structural state, the sensing member 301 can be deformed and rotated and swung to become a folded structure. Since the shaping portion 305 will not automatically reset and rebound, the sensing member 301 will be maintained in the first structure under the deformed structure of the shaping member, that is, maintained in the folded structure; when the user applies an external force again, the shaping portion 305 can be operated to deform to reset the sensing member 301 to the second structure, so that it is maintained in the second structure.

[0112] In view of the above-mentioned several structural modes in which the sensor 301 rotates and swings, a clamping portion 50 can also be provided on the cooking cover 20 or on the sensor 301. When the sensor 301 is in the first structure, the clamping portion 50 is formed to clamp the sensor 301 and limit it on the cooking cover 20 so that the sensor 301 is maintained in the first structure. That is, by providing the clamping portion 50, the clamping portion 50 can be provided as a protruding buckle structure or an arc-shaped buckle structure. When the sensor 301 rotates and swings to form the first structure, the sensor 301 is 1 is in a folded structure, at this time, a clamping and limiting structure is formed between the clamping portion 50 and the sensing member 301, so that a part of the sensing member 301 is clamped by the clamping portion 50, so that the sensing member 301 is always in the folded structure, that is, the sensing member 301 is maintained in the first structure, so that the sensing member 301 is always in the folded structure state, and at this time, the sensing member 301 will form a structure that does not block the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, so that the user can always perform more convenient cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101.

[0113] In view of the above-mentioned several structural modes in which the sensor 301 rotates and swings, a magnetic attraction portion 60 can also be provided on the cooking cover 20 to constitute a structure in which the magnetic attraction portion 60 can magnetically attract a part of the sensor 301 so that the sensor 301 is maintained in the first structure under the magnetic attraction, that is, through the magnetic attraction portion 60, the magnetic attraction portion 60 can generate a magnetic attraction, when the sensor 301 rotates and swings to constitute the first structure, the sensor 301 is in a folded structure, and the magnetic attraction portion 60 forms a magnetic attraction on the sensor 301, so that the sensor 301 is attracted to the current structure under the magnetic attraction, that is, it is attracted to maintain a continuous folded structure in the first structure, so that the sensor 301 is always in the folded structural state, and at this time the sensor 301 will form a structure that does not block the user from performing cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101, so that the user can always perform more convenient cooking operations on the cooking cavity 101.

[0114] Optionally, the magnetic attraction portion 60 is configured as a magnet, which may be a strong magnet or an electromagnet.

[0115] Optionally, a sensing part 3011 is provided at the end of the sensing member 301 , and the sensing part 3011 is made of metal. The sensing part 3011 made of metal can better detect the temperature and can also achieve better magnetic attraction by the magnetically attracted part 60 .

[0116] In the present solution, in order to further prevent the food from contacting the sensor 301 and thereby improve the accuracy of the temperature detection by the sensor 301, the sensor 301 is configured to be able to rotate and swing from the inner ring of the cooking cavity 101 toward the outer ring in the radial direction of the cooking pot 10, that is, when the cooking cover 20 forms a closing structure for the cooking cavity 101, when the sensor 301 is located in the cooking cavity 101 and is blocked by the food, the sensor 301 is caused to rotate and swing in a biased manner toward the side wall surface of the cooking cavity 101, so as to form a structure in which the end position of the sensor 301 is away from the food. The rotating and swinging structure of the sensor 301 is mainly configured to be a structure in which the inner ring of the cooking cavity 101 rotates and swings toward the outer ring. When the user closes the cooking cover 20 to close the cooking cavity 101, if the end position of the sensor 301 contacts the food, the food forms a blocking structure for the sensor 301. A blocking force is formed under the blocking structure, and the sensor 301 is caused to rotate and swing under the action of the blocking force. The rotation and swinging of the sensor 301 will form a rotation and swing from the inner ring of the cooking cavity 101 toward the outer ring of the cooking cavity 101, that is, from the middle position of the cooking cavity 101 or the vertical center axis M position or the area position near the vertical center axis M to the side wall surface of the cooking cavity 101, thereby forming the end position of the sensor 301 away from the food, and forming the end position of the sensor 301 relatively close to the side wall surface of the cooking cavity 101, so that the food will not adhere to the sensor 301, so that the sensor 301 can effectively be kept in a clean state to contact with the liquid for temperature measurement, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the temperature measurement by the sensor 301, effectively solving the problem of temperature measurement deviation, and making it easier for users to maintain and clean the sensor 301.

[0117] It can be understood that in this solution, when the user places food in the cooking cavity 101, the food will generally gather in the middle of the cooking cavity 101 or at the position of the vertical center axis M or in the vicinity of the vertical center axis M, and the food will be relatively far away from the side wall of the cooking cavity 101 in the liquid. Therefore, the position setting of the sensor 301 and the direction of the rotation and swing of the sensor 301 make it difficult for the sensor 301 to contact the food, thereby effectively improving the contact between the sensor 301 and the liquid to detect the temperature, and preventing the food from interfering with and affecting the temperature measurement of the sensor 301 in contact with the liquid.

[0118] In this solution, when the sensing element 301 is in an extended structure or an extended raised structure, the sensing element can be in an upright structure or an inclined structure, so that the sensing element 301 can extend into the cooking cavity 101 to perform contact liquid temperature measurement.

[0119] This solution also includes a heating element, which is electrically connected to a control module. The control module controls the working state of the heating element, and mainly controls the working state of the heating element based on the liquid temperature detected by the sensing element 301. The working state of the heating element includes starting work, stopping work, increasing heating power or increasing heating time, reducing heating power or reducing heating time, etc.

[0120] The cooking device 1 in this solution, wherein the low-temperature cooking mode can be used to perform low-temperature cooking on meat ingredients, such as steak, poached chicken, etc., and the cooking device 1 can achieve precise temperature control based on the temperature detected by the sensor 301, thereby improving the low-temperature cooking taste of the meat ingredients.

[0121] The cooking device 1 of the present solution may be a rice cooker, or other cooking devices with a cooking function, so that the cooking device 1 can not only start a conventional cooking mode, but also start a low-temperature cooking mode, thereby achieving a multifunctional use effect of the cooking device 1.

[0122] Working principle: The cooking device 1 of the present scheme is mainly used to realize the cooking process of food materials, especially to realize the low-temperature cooking process of food materials; wherein, a sensing component 30 is mainly arranged, and the sensing component 30 includes a sensing member 301 that can rotate and swing, and the sensing member 301 can be configured to be in a first structure or a second structure by rotating and swinging, and can be switched between the first structure and the second structure by rotating and swinging. In the first structure, the sensing member 301 is in a folded structure, and at this time, the sensing member 301 does not form a structure that blocks the user from performing cooking operations. In the second structure, the sensing member 301 is in an extended structure or an extended protruding structure, and at this time, the sensing member 301 can be located in the cooking cavity 101 to detect the temperature of the liquid contained therein, thereby realizing precise temperature control of the cooking device 1 and realizing the low-temperature cooking function of the food materials.

[0123] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present invention, and in actual applications, various changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all of which are within the protection scope of the present invention.
